Cheek - Kurunjang

AMAZING food, the sweet and sour cauliflower was the stuff of dreams!

Insta: melbfoodie_markYT: MelbFoodieMark Check them out for more food reviews in Melbourne! Decided to finally visit CHEEK after hearing great reviews for months! I was craving American style BBQ so I just couldn 't wait any longer to dine at this meat focused venue. Once we arrived, we were pleasantly surprised to find out that their BBQs were all non traditional and had some sort of asian influences. Although it 's not exactly something we expected to have that night, we decided to give it a go.We got 'Smoked Short Ribs ' $65 , 'Hot Meat Donut ' $7 , 'Josper Grilled Broccolini ' $8 , and 'Sweet n ' Sour Cauliflower ' $15 . My favourites were Smoked Short Ribs and Sweet n ' Sour Cauliflower. 'Sweet n ' Sour Cauliflower ' was lightly battered and smothered in sweet and sour sauce and miso ranch. I didn 't expect much of it at first but was blown away after tasting how flavourful it was. I really enjoyed light crispy chewiness from battering and soury savoury kick from miso ranch. It was so addictingly delicious that I wanted to get another one. Their 'Smoked Short Ribs ', which was braised for over 16 hours, had this light sweetness with rich fatty taste absolutely delicious! I could tell that they mainly used Bulgogi Sauce to marinate the meat. It was so soft and tender to the point where the meat was lliterally melting in my mouth. Highly Recommend these two! Hot Meat Donut was interesting at first but it was basically a donut filled with meat. .Overall, it was a decent BBQ experience but I found it a bit too heavy for me. I really regret not getting their Mash and Gravy because looking back, that might have been perfect to balance out the fattiness. Regardless, I really enjoyed my experience here :
