As it is the first time that a Japanese company's alternative meats were offered in a chain restaurant in Singapore and the meals are also Aburi-EN's first-ever plant-based menus,their product launch event gained attention from influencers and media personnel.

Made largely from soy proteins,the NEXT Kalbi contains double the amount of protein and half the fats than that of regular meat and even more,it does not contain any chemical additives or cholesterol due to its lack of animal ingredients.

The two menus available at Aburi-EN are theKalbi Don Set (S$13.80)and theStamina Teishoku (S$15.80) which will beavailable from April to July 2021in all locations of the chain.

For the Kalbi Don Set,Next Meat's Kalbi is grilled and served atop a bowl of fragrant Japanese steamed rice. Equally indulgent,the Stamina Teishoku features the Kalbi stir-fried with cabbage along with eggsimported from Okinawa. The meat is then served with fragrant Japanese steamed rice,salad,pickles and miso soup. For both dishes,the meats are glazed with a special homemade sauce that packs an irresistible umami punch.
