Waa Cow @ NUS UTown - Delicious Rice Bowls At NUS Campus

WaaCow5

Chirashi and beef don was the food trend in 2016 and it has also made its way into the campus of National University of Singapore (NUS) with the opening of Waa Cow at NUS UTown, Stephen Riady Centre. Even though it is near my place, I did not visit the place until recently.

Aburi Bara Chirashi 4.2/5

I had the Aburi Bara Chirashi ($16.90) which comes with a medley of sashimi tossed in aged soy sauce and topped with both ikura and tobiko, placed on a bed of sushi rice made with house-blend vinegar.. It is then garnished with spring onions and diced cucumber. Besides the fresh sashimi, I like the addition of the diced cucumber giving it a refreshing and crunchy touch.

Mentaiko Wagyu Beef 4.2/5

The other rice bowl I tried is the Mentaiko Wagyu Beef ($18.90). Using Yamagata Haenuki rice from Japan, the bowl is topped with sliced wagyu beef torched with special beef sauce which has a peppery kick to it with the richness of the mentaiko mayonnaise, lending a nice balance to the bowl. The rice bowl is further accompanied by a 62 degree Celsius egg.

To make it a set meal, one can add $3 for a drink and a chawanmushi. I would not recommend going for the set meal because the chawanmushi was too watery and lacked a good stock base for flavour, even thought it was topped with sesame and bonito.

While the rice bowls were good and the price point was comparable to outside. It does make me wonder how the students can afford to have this regularly especially when there are many cheaper options in the campus.
