Missed Kobe? Now we bring Kobe to you.

In honour of Kobe Bryant’s recent visit , we are doing a special on Kobe.

Kobe Beef.

We were told Kobe Bryant ASKED to include Singapore into his Asian Tour, which is what he did. He’s a true talent and it’s great what he is doing for the kids.

I had a survey out to the members two weeks ago on launching this special. Going by our survey results, I was worried that we might run out of the Kobe beef. We launched a private dining offer to member’s just last Thursday and I ordered a big chunk. It was more than what we thought we need. 

What I am trying to say is that we have some US Kobe Beef  left which we are making available whilst stocks last. I had both locations freeze whatever was not sold and we are guarding it at our Central Kitchen.

And to honor the delicate flavor of this American Kobe style beef, which I am told sells for as much as $90.00 -$120 onwards in some very nice fancy restaurants, Botak Jones will be offering these

200 gram Black Quality American Kobe style at a special price ….$50.00 incl 2 sides.

What the hell is American raised Kobe style beef, you may ask. I asked too? This is Japanese Kobe beef that has been cross-bred with American Black Angus. These cattle are then lovingly raise in the Kobe traditional style, which means the cattle are massaged and feed alcohol, the whole ball of wax. The American Kobe is rated Black or Gold. Black is equal to a 6/7 marbleing score and the Gold is 8/9. The Kobe I am able to get for this is Black

Everyone I had talked to last Thursday night when we did the member’s private offer told me the beef was really, mouth wateringly awesome. Some of you even went to the effort to write in and express your joy.

And some of you missed it.

So, this is what I have planned for the remaining steaks we are holding.

I am going to make it easy for everyone to get their hands on one of these.

Anyone of you may order this magnificent steak, along with the two sides inclusive of the GST for only $50.00 (because we froze it lah!).

Here is how to order(sounds like a TV show huh?)

1. Email to me at zee@botakjones.com or order at your fave outlet by phone (click Locations above) at least one day ahead of time.

2. Let us know how many you would like, which outlet you would like them at and what time you expect to arrive at the outlet. We will make sure that your US Kobe Ribeye(yeah, they’re ribeye not sirloins, a good error which makes it an even better deal for you) is at the outlet waiting to be grilled after you arrive.

How carriage-trade is this now? Customized steak & service courtesy of Botak Jones. We’re raising the bar on what we deliver to you in the heartlands.

This offer will be in effect until all of the Ribeyes are gone. Exactly how good is this beef?

Han-tzen Low, our CEO, bought 24 steaks for his own use to take home after the member promotion was over. That’s how good.

 

We don’t have a lot and this is super premium beef that we want to deliver as freshly as we can which is why we are doing customized order service.

You ain’t gonna find Kobe at this price anywhere. And we may never repeat this offer again.

Bounce on down to Botak Jones now and grab it before it’s gone :-)


Zack’s been dethroned!!! By a skinny fella….!

Underdog skinny winner Chin Seng outchomps heavyweight favourite Zack!

It was an epic showdown with 33 finalists and with the intense media spotlight, nerves were high. The all time favourite Zack was there and with all the attention from the other contestants, public and media, he was obviously feeling the heat.

33 Massive burgers were served sizzling hot fresh from the grill and a regulation standard bottle of water given to each contestant. (some wanted to bring their own glass for dipping but we wanted a level playing field). You see how serious this gets…

ChannelnewsAsia covered the epic final and the underdog winner was a true surprise.

 

Here are the top 3:

1st Ng Chin Sheng - 1 min 21 sec
2nd Zack Zainal - 1 min 31 sec
3rd Meng Cer - 1 min 43 sec
