Wagyu X @ Club Street - The Rare Wagyu Crossbreed Available Chargrilled and Smoked in New Menu

WagyuXMar24-26

Returning to Wagyu X on Club Street, I ventured to experience the exquisite Hokkaido wagyu crossbreed, renowned for its harmonious blend of Wagyu's buttery texture and Angus beef's robust flavour. Wagyu X has elevated their offerings with a new menu featuring beef chargrilled over binchotan charcoal and infused with the subtle, fruity essence of Sakura wood smoke, imparting delightful cherry notes to the dish.

WagyuXMar24-4
Amuse Bouche

I began with the Amuse Bouche — a delicate ensemble of tender Wagyu slices enveloping enoki mushrooms. This prelude offered a tantalising preview of the exceptional quality and flavour awaiting me.

WagyuXMar24-8
Wagyu Carpaccio 4.5/5

Following suit was the Wagyu Carpaccio ($42) — a sublime creation boasting paper-thin slices of wagyu adorned with a drizzle of truffle oil and garnished with arugula and parmesan chips. Each bite was a symphony of umami flavours, celebrating the purity of Wagyu in its most pristine form.

WagyuXMar24-12
Chilled Truffle Somen 4/5

Introducing a refreshing starter to the menu, the Chilled Truffle Somen with Scallop ($26) presented a harmonious blend of flavours. Delicately tossed in truffle kombu sauce and garnished with ikura, this dish offered a delightful juxtaposition of textures and an irresistible burst of flavour.

WagyuXMar24-25
Binchotan Flame Grilled Wagyu X Sirloin 4.5/5

The pièce de résistance arrived in the form of the Binchotan Flame Grilled Wagyu X Sirloin ($180/500g, $335/1kg) and Tenderloin ($135/250g, $245/500g) — showcasing the Wagyu's exquisite flavour profile. Charred to perfection over binchotan charcoal, this dish boasted a crispy exterior, revealing a succulent and flavourful interior.

WagyuXMar24-29
Binchotan Flame Grilled Wagyu X Tenderloin 4.2/5

Delving into the tenderloin, I was met with bold, rich flavours and a substantial texture that left a lasting impression. However, upon savouring the striploin, I found myself drawn to its abundance of marbling, which contributed to a fuller flavour profile and a remarkably tender texture.

WagyuXMar24-38
Horenso Gomaae (Spinach Salad) 3.8/5

WagyuXMar24-41
Wagyu Fat Fries 4.5/5

Accompanying the main course were the Horenso Gomaae ($16) — a simple yet flavourful spinach salad—and the irresistible Wagyu Fat Fries, which proved to be irresistibly addictive with each crispy bite.

WagyuXMar24-35
Wagyu Fried Rice 3.8/5

Initially conceived as a simple staff meal, the Wagyu Fried Rice ($28) has made its way onto the menu, boasting a unique twist. Cooked with wagyu fat for an added depth of flavour, the fried rice is served atop ooba leaf foam. While the dish offers an interesting concept, I questioned the foam's contribution, as it tended to soak up the rice, detracting from its desired fluffy texture.

WagyuXMar24-43
Japanese Sweet Potato Croquettes 3.5/5

The Japanese Sweet Potato Croquettes ($16) is a new sides. Japanese sweet potato is used for its starchier texture. Deep fried to golden brown. Crispy on the exterior, sweet and soft inside.

WagyuXMar24-46
Apple Tart with Ice Cream 4.2/5

WagyuXMar24-49

For dessert, the Apple Tart with Ice Cream ($18) offered a delightful finale. Slices of Granny Smith apples were served alongside a housemade berry sauce — a perfect balance of tartness and sweetness to end the meal on a satisfying note.

Wagyu X continues to reign supreme as a haven for discerning diners seeking the ultimate Wagyu experience.

Note: This is an invited tasting.

Mashi No Mashi @ Guoco Midtown - – Chef Hisato Hamada, founder of WAGYUMAFIA Opens 100% Wagyu Ramen Concept in Singapore

IMG_3156

Mashi No Mashi, located at Guoco Midtown, is a ramen concept by Wagyumafia, a collective of restaurants renowned for harnessing the qualities and versatility of Japan's most famous beef through various culinary concepts. Founded by Chef Hisato Hamada, Wagyumafia prides itself on working directly with farmers and selecting only the top 1% of the finest Kobe and Ozaki beef. Since its establishment in 2019, Mashi No Mashi has been acclaimed for serving the world's first 100% Wagyu ramen.

IMG_3172
Wagyu Tsukemen 4/5

The dish that brought Mashi No Mashi to fame is its signature Wagyu Tsukemen, featuring succulent slices of slow-cooked Ozaki beef paired with their signature noodles. The accompanying dipping broth, a 24-hour stewed Wagyu bone broth, was rich in umami and full-bodied, perfectly complementing the thicker-cut noodles with an enjoyable chewy texture. While the ramen as a whole provided a deeply satisfying mouthfeel and flavour, I found the alkaline taste of the noodles less appealing.

IMG_3164
Ultra Wagyu Ramen 4.8/5

Ultra Wagyu Ramen ($22) is the brand's first-ever fukuoka Hakata-style ramen, and Singapore is the first outpost to permanently feature it on its menu. This beef-centric Hakata-style ramen broth is made using the finest wagyu bones, which undergo a laborious three-stage heating process to extract maximum flavour and aroma. The broth was an absolute pleasure to savour, together with the luscious pieces of wagyu char siew.

IMG_3207
Wagyu Bak Kut Teh 4.5/5

This outlet also launched a Singapore-exclusive menu, starting with Wagyu Bak Kut Teh ($30). Served with a peppery homemade wagyu bone stock, traditional Bak Kut Teh purists may not favour this dish as much. Personally, I love this rendition, which was delightful with a heady, garlicky, and peppery broth. The texture and flavour of the meat were exceptional as well. However, with the price tag, it can definitely be more wholesome with the portions of the You Tiao and Preserved Vegetables.

IMG_3158
Wagyu Cha Siu Donburi 4/5

There are also donburi options available, such as the Wagyu Cha Siu Donburi ($32), which showcases slices of Wagyu Cha Siu draped over Ginger Beef Akitakomachi Rice. The plump and pearly rice was so moreish mixed with flavourful minced ginger beef that it almost stole the spotlight.

IMG_3186
Wagyu Gyoza 5/5

The Dim Sums here are highly recommended. Wagyu Gyoza ($8 for 2pc) uses 100% Ozaki Beef. Each piece was filled with four different cuts of juicy Ozaki beef and minced vegetables, achieving a succulent bite in every mouthful.

IMG_3198
Wagyu Siu Mai 5/5

Offering a similar bite and satisfaction is Wagyu Siu Mai ($15). The texture was on point.

IMG_3161
Sui Gyoza 4/5

The other two dim sums we tried were well executed: Black Bean Spare Ribs ($15), featuring Steamed Wagyu Spare Ribs with Black Bean and Garlic Sauce, and Sui Gyoza, boiled wagyu gyoza drizzled with tangy Japanese sansho chilli sauce. In fact, I enjoyed them much more than the traditional pork versions.

IMG_3214
Black Bean Spare Ribs 4/5

More Singapore-exclusive dishes, such as wagyu laksa and hokkien mee, will be rolled out later in the year. An interesting beverage menu with inventive cocktails is also available, including Chef Hisato's proprietary rendition of a Singapore sling ($18).

The Gyu Bar @ Stevens Road - Celebrates 6-year Milestone With An Extended Menu

IMG_2939

This March, The Gyu Bar, situated on Stevens Road, celebrated its 6-year milestone by introducing its first menu extension. The new dishes draw inspiration from cuisines across Asia, seamlessly combining the restaurant's signature quality beef with familiar flavours from the region.

IMG_2906
Wagyu & Mizuna ‘Salad’ 4.5/5

Inspired by the Thai Beef Salad, the Wagyu & Mizuna 'Salad' ($38) features luscious marbled Miyazaki Wagyu sirloin, lightly seared and wrapped around fresh mizuna greens. The Wagyu imparted richness to the palate, perfectly balanced by the sharp, peppery notes of the mizuna greens. What elevated this starter was the savoury and zesty salad dressing, concocted with lime, chilli, dashi, fish sauce, onion, and basil, making each bite even more mouthwatering.

IMG_2911
Deep-fried Wagyu Cha Gio 4/5

Deep-fried Wagyu Cha Gio ($18) was inspired by Vietnamese spring roll. A layer of Kumamoto seaweed enveloping minced Kagoshima Wagyu and chopped prawns was encased within the crispy skin. The filling was juicy and flavoursome with rich, beefy notes. While it was undoubtedly tasty, using Vietnamese rice paper instead would have improved the experience.

IMG_2945
Spicy Pumpkin Wagyu Nabe 5/5

Spicy Pumpkin Wagyu Nabe ($48) is The Gyu Bar's take on Chinese sauerkraut fish. While it lacked the piquant and spicy notes of the classic version, I thoroughly enjoyed the hotpot, which offers two indulgent pieces of wagyu slices. The broth, comforting sweet with mashed Japanese pumpkin and a slight hint of heat, was also wholesome with a combination of fresh produce, which included cabbage, enoki mushrooms and Hokkaido milk corn.

IMG_2948
Braised Wagyu Lu Rou Fan 3/5

Braised Wagyu Lu Rou Fan ($28) is a beef rendition of Taiwanese Lu Rou Fan. The Gyu Bar replicates the dish by simmering finely chopped Miyazaki Wagyu in a fragrant herbal mix and serving it atop a bed of Hokkaido rice alongside an Okinawan onsen egg. I appreciate the blend of chewy tendons and minced meat, which gave the dish an excellent textural bite. However, while the beef topping was decadent and morish, it is not a dish that allows you to appreciate fine quality wagyu. I reckoned this dish could be made with any beef.

IMG_2924
Stir Fried Wagyu Konnyaku Noodles 3.5/5

We also tried a healthier version of Korean Japchae - Stir Fried Wagyu Konnyaku Noodles ($28). Replacing glass noodles with springy konnyaku noodles, slices of Kagoshima Wagyu were sautéed alongside julienned carrots and shimeji mushrooms. The execution was decent, but I prefer it to be less sweet and have a more savoury profile

Butcher's Block @ Raffles Hotel Singapore - Refreshed Spring Menus Forged Through Fire, Rooted in Hawaiian Philosophies

ButchersBlocklMar24-29

I revisited Butcher's Block at Raffles Hotel Singapore to explore its refreshed Spring menus, showcasing the best of nature through produce sourced directly from the restaurant's local farm. Partnering with Singaporean indoor vertical farm, farmd, Butcher's Block demonstrates its commitment to food sustainability, reflecting the Hawaiian values of Aloha Aina (love of the land) and Malama Aina (to care for the land).

ButchersBlocklMar24-4
Hokkaido Milk Parker Roll, Konbu Butter 4.8/5

A signature delight, the complimentary Hokkaido Milk Parker Roll with Konbu Butter sets a high standard. The fluffy Asian milk bun paired with konbu butter is irresistible, though one might need to resist filling up before the main course.

ButchersBlocklMar24-9
Australian Lamb Tacos, Chermoula ($15 for 2pc) 4/5

The Australian Lamb Tacos ($15 for 2pc) present a delightful fusion of flavours and textures. Shredded lamb shoulder rests atop a crisp yellow endive leaf, accompanied by a vibrant medley of yuzu kosho, chermoula, pickled fennel, green apple, and coriander. Dusting green powder adds a pop of colour and an extra layer of flavour. Drawing inspiration from Mexican cuisine, the traditional tortilla is replaced with endive, offering a refreshing and crunchy vessel for the succulent lamb filling. This innovative twist is reminiscent of Korean barbecue, where grilled meats are often enjoyed wrapped in greens, known as 'ssam.' The result is a taco experience that balances bold flavours with fresh, crisp elements, creating a unique and memorable dish.

ButchersBlocklMar24-13
Western Plains Spam ($38 for 2pc) 4.2/5

Chef Jordan's rendition of the Western Plains Spam ($38 for 2pc) pays homage to the beloved Spam Musubi, a popular snack and lunch staple in Hawaii. Drawing inspiration from this iconic dish, Chef Jordan crafts his own version using premium ingredients and a touch of creativity. Instead of using store-bought spam, Chef Jordan takes the extra step to make the spam from scratch, using free-range pork sourced from Western Plains, Australia. The grilled spam is artfully sandwiched on top of a block of Yumepirika rice, creating a harmonious blend of textures and flavours. Wrapped together with nori, reminiscent of Japanese onigiri, the dish offers a delightful combination of savoury, salty, and slightly sweet notes.

ButchersBlocklMar24-20
Australian Lamb, Carrot Brown Butter Puree 4.2/5

From the "Whole Animal Butchery" section of the a la carte menu, we indulged in the Australian Lamb ($55), showcasing this noble meat's versatility. The dish presents three distinct cuts of lamb — rack, leg, and saddle — each meticulously prepared in-house and cooked using three different techniques: grilling, smoking, and sous vide. The lamb rack, tender and succulent, boasts a perfect char from the grill, while the leg offers a smoky aroma and a melt-in-your-mouth texture, thanks to the careful smoking process. Meanwhile, the saddle, cooked sous vide, delivers unparalleled juiciness and tenderness, ensuring a memorable dining experience with every bite.

ButchersBlocklMar24-26
Pork Loin Char Siu, Pork Belly, Prosciuto Tuile 4/5

ButchersBlocklMar24-32
Pork Tomahawk 4.8/5

Another standout from the "Whole Animal Butchery" selection is the Whole Pig from Western Plains ($120), meticulously prepared in-house to showcase five distinct parts of the animal, totalling 350g of delectable meat. The five different cuts include the Tomahawk, Pork Loin, Pork Neck, Pork Belly, and Prosciutto Tuile. Among these, the Pork Tomahawk steals the spotlight, aged for at least 21 days before being expertly grilled with the skin on. The result is a pork dish that is impeccably clean in flavour and tender in texture, with a satisfying crunch from the puffed crackling on the skin. Another noteworthy preparation is the Pork Neck, executed in the Chinese Char Siu style, which exemplifies the diversity inherent in Hawaiian cuisine, blending various culinary influences to create a truly unique Hawaiian cuisine.

ButchersBlocklMar24-53
Rangers Valley Full-blood Wagyu OP Rib 4.5/5

From the expanded "Chef's Prime Selection" showcasing premium beef from Rangers Valley in New South Wales, Australia, we indulged in the Rangers Valley Full-blood Wagyu OP Rib ($480), accompanied by kabocha squash bone marrow puree. Aged for up to a week to enhance its flavour profile and boasting a marbling score of Mbs 9+, this exquisite cut is bursting with rich flavours. Its succulent meat is complemented by a delightful crust on the surface, achieved through the gentle kiss of an open flame.

ButchersBlocklMar24-48
Butcher's Block Farm Salad, Comte Cheese 4/5

To complement the delectable mains, we savoured a variety of sides, including the Butcher's Block Farm Salad ($14). This refreshing salad features a medley of fresh greens and herbs harvested directly from the restaurant's own indoor vertical farm. Tossed with a flavorful roasted garlic aioli and finished with grated comte cheese, each bite is a burst of vibrant flavours and textures, showcasing the essence of farm-to-table dining.

ButchersBlocklMar24-51
Grilled Asparagus, Potato Koji 3.5/5

Sourced from France, the seasonal White Asparagus is brushed with butter and delicately seasoned with lemon zest, lemon juice, and fleur de sel. The asparagus is lightly grilled to perfection. Paired with a delicate koji foam dusted with shiitake mushroom powder, each bite offers a harmonious balance of flavours and textures. The natural sweetness of the white asparagus is beautifully complemented by the buttery richness and tangy zest seasoning, creating a delightful dish.

ButchersBlocklMar24-47
Crispy Potato, Brown Butter Emulsion, Sunomono 5/5

Indulge in the irresistible Crispy Potato ($14) at Butcher's Block. These twice deep-fried smashed potatoes are a true sensation, boasting a perfect balance of crispiness and tenderness. Tossed in garlic butter and generously dusted with furikake and dehydrated kimchi powder, each bite bursts with layers of flavour. The garnish of fresh chives adds a refreshing touch, enhancing the overall palate experience. Despite being served alongside sunomono and brown butter emulsion, these potatoes shine on their own and are undoubtedly a must-order item for any visit.

ButchersBlocklMar24-43
Kinmedai 4.5/5

ButchersBlocklMar24-40

Transit from the land to the sea with the exquisite Japanese Kinmedai ($107) at Butcher's Block. This delightful dish features tender Kinmedai adorned with spring onions, marigold leaves, onion flowers, and fennel flowers, creating a symphony of flavours and textures. What truly surprises the palate is the ingenious use of Cantonese black bean sauce, showcasing the diverse culinary influences found in Hawaiian cuisine. This fusion of flavours highlights Hawaii's rich cultural melting pot, resulting in a truly unique and unforgettable dining experience. A side of Hokkaido Sushi Rice with Furikake is served to complete the dish, allowing diners to enjoy the succulent fish with the perfect accompaniment. This nod to Hawaiian dining traditions adds depth and complexity to the dish.

ButchersBlocklMar24-35
Grilled Squid Luau 3.8/5

Indulge in a modern twist on a traditional Hawaiian dish with the Grilled Squid Luau ($48) at Butcher's Block. This innovative reinterpretation features grilled squid, expertly cut into thin strips and seasoned with a tantalising blend of lemon chilli vinaigrette and chermoula. The squid is then paired with a Japanese taro leaves sauce, creating a harmonious fusion of flavours. To elevate the dish further, it is garnished with vadouvan spiced almonds, farmed radish, onion flowers, and fennel flowers, adding layers of texture and complexity. A drizzle of coconut cream provides a touch of richness and decadence, balancing the bright and refreshing flavours of the dish. While the flavours are undeniably bright and appetising, some diners may find the squid cut too thin to appreciate its texture fully.

ButchersBlocklMar24-63
Grilled Peach, Blood Orange Sorbet 4/5

Concluding our meal at Butcher's Block, we savoured the delightful Grilled Peach ($14) dessert. Nestled atop a bed of sable crumble, the Spanish white peach exuded a natural sweetness enhanced by a slow grilling process over a wood fire. This imparted a caramelised sweetness with a subtle hint of bitterness, adding depth to each bite. Complementing the grilled peach was a scoop of refreshing blood orange sorbet, providing a burst of citrusy flavour that balanced the sweetness of the fruit. The dish was further elevated with the addition of a delicate charcoal tuile, offering a subtle smokiness and a crisp texture. Garnished with fennel flowers and marigold leaves, the presentation was as beautiful as it was delicious, adding a touch of elegance to the dessert.

Overall, Butcher's Block continues to impress with its innovative dishes and commitment to quality ingredients. The Spring menus offer a culinary journey that celebrates the essence of nature and showcases the restaurant's dedication to sustainability.

The term "Abura," translating to oil, aptly captures the spirit of this casual and playful menu housed within Hashida.

AburaKappo10
Tuna Consomme 4/5

What initially appears as wine turns out to be Tuna Consommé, a delectable broth crafted from Japanese bluefin tuna simmered for four hours with a mirepoix of carrots, onions, celery, leek, and mushrooms. Served cold, the consommé, enriched with drops of spring onion oil, provides a refreshing interlude.

AburaKappo11
Managatsuo 4.2/5

The Managatsuo, a Japanese silver pomfret, is delicately coated in a thin tempura batter and deep-fried to a light and crispy texture. Served with tempura sauce and housemade onion sauce, it's a delightful seafood indulgence.

Cooked with dashi, Hokkaido scallops, and butter shoyu, the rice is a symphony of flavours. A selection of sides awaits to complement the Donabe Rice: a medley of pickles, a savoury soup, zesty spicy tuna, crispy prawn tempura, and flavorful kimbap. The ingenious touch lies in the interactive element: diners can partake in a do-it-yourself maki adventure, crafting their own delectable rolls using seasoned Korean seaweed. This engaging addition adds a playful twist to the dining experience.
