The story goes like this...centuries ago in the province of Mongolia, hunting parties and warriors would prepare fruits, herbs, slivers of meat, cut with the sword edge, together with a special combination of vegetables, incense, spices and sauces, and grill their meals on upturned shields.  The meat was carved from the animals killed during the day's hunt. They piled their food high upon their war shields, and cooked them over large bonfires on a hot griddle. This stir fry style feast, became a natural way of eating from day to day.

This tradition food preparation is called Mongolian barbecue and is followed today by restaurants that prepare food using
solid iron griddle that is as large as 3 feet in diameter and can cook at temperatures as high as 300°C.

Come and enjoy the tradition.
