MIYOSHI by Fat Cow (三好) @ Mess Hall at Sentosa - Three Japanese Cuisine (Ramen, Teppanyaki and Omakase) Under One Roof

Miyoshi18

MIYOSHI by Fat Cow is a modern concept by fine Japanese restaurant Fat Cow. Miyoshi or 三好 in kanji means 'three graces' whereby diners are invited to a new modern way of savouring Japanese cuisine through three Japanese dining experiences - Ramen, Teppanyaki and Omakase under one roof in a beautiful colonial-style conservation building on the balmy island of Sentosa.

Zensai

We had the Teppan-Kaisei Set Dinner ($280++), starting with the Zensai comprising Umami Dashi Marinated Garlic Chives with Dried Bonito, Steamed Egg Custard with White Truffle Sauce served with Minced Wagyu Ankake Sauce, and Wagyu Kinome Yaki, a delectable trio of appetisers to kickstart the 11-course set dinner.

Fresh Spring Rolls

Wagyu Tartare

Next are the Fresh Spring Rolls and Wagyu Tartare. The light and refreshing spring roll is wrapped with raw amaebi prawn, cream cheese, and kaiware. The hand-chopped wagyu tartare is richer in flavour, tossed with purple shallots, nori, gochujang, and yakiniku sauce, bursting with textures and flavours.

Wagyu Sawani-wan

A favourite of the set course dinner is the Wagyu Sawani-wan. Sliced A4 Miyazaki A4 Wagyu is rolled with strips of shiitake mushrooms, carrots and leeks, then grilled on the teppan. It is served in a bonito soup that freshens up the enjoyment of the quality beef.

Straw Smoked Hokkaido Scallops

The plump and sweet Straw Smoked Hokkaido Scallops are grilled on the teppanyaki before smoking with straw and served with a generous spoonful of caviar.

Miyoshi23
Uni Soba

Next is the Uni Soba, whereby the Japanese buckwheat noodles are tossed in a soba sauce and served with nikumiso. It is further topped with bafun uni, deep-fried burdock chip, spring onions and red shiso. It is a delectable dish, but I was expecting more.

Miyoshi26
Yuzu Butter Madai

Another seafood item on the menu is the Yuzu Butter Madai paired with grilled Maitake mushroom and shishito pepper. The sea bream is grilled on teppan and glazed with yuzu saikyo miso sauce for a sweet, savoury and citrusy finish.

Miyoshi30
Steamed Abalone

The Korean abalone is first covered in konbu, blanketed in sea salt, and steamed-baked on the teppan. The Steamed Abalone paired with green asparagus is finished with saikyo miso sauce, giving the tender and bouncy abalone a delightful umami and mild sweetness.

Miyoshi33
Teppan Style Sukiyaki

The best dish for the night goes to the Teppan Style Sukiyaki. The thinly sliced wagyu is mixed with a housemade sukiyaki broth that is both rich and delicate, enriched with a Japanese egg yolk. It is further complemented with shaved truffle to enhance the lovely beefy flavour of the premium beef cut.

Miyoshi36
Wagyu Tenderloin A4

The Satsuma A4 Tenderloin has a substantial bite compare to the sukiyaki. It is seasoned with salt and black pepper, and grilled on teppan, allowing the full appreciation of the beautiful red meat.

Miyoshi39
Signature Garlic Rice

The last savoury course is freshly cooked Hokkaido Nanatsuboshi Japanese Garlic Rice, stir-fried on the teppan with vegetable oil, butter, garlic, salt and black pepper to ensure we are filled. It is served with aka miso soup and Japanese pickles to complete the rice course.

Miyoshi41
Black Sesame Tofu

Last but not least, we have the Black Sesame Tofu made with black sesame paste, tapioca powder and water, then simmered and cooled to set. It is served together with seasonal fruits and yuzu ice cream.

G Izakaya @ Golden Mile Tower - Offering Both Izakaya And Omakase For Lunch And Dinner

IMG_4647

G Izakaya at Golden Mile Tower is an izakaya and an omakase restaurant, offering an extensive menu of Japanese dishes for lunch and dinner.

IMG_4649
3 Kind Sashimi 3/5

We started with 3 Kind Sashimi that was served thick cut. The portion was generous, suitable for 2 or even 3 pax.

IMG_4654
Uni Sakura 3/5

Next was a dainty bite I reckoned more befitting as an omakase course - Uni Sakura. Sandwiched between 2 thin wafers are pieces of tamago, pickled radish, and uni. While I didn't find it a cohesive dish, I appreciate its creativity.

IMG_4624
Tsukune 2.5/5

IMG_4622
Butabara Yuzu Miso 3.5/5

Expect the quintessential skewers. We had Tsukune (chicken meatballs) and Butabara Yuzu Miso. I didn't enjoy the taste of the Tsukune somehow, but the latter fared much better with well-charred pork-belly fats flavoured with tangy and savoury yuzu miso.

IMG_4634
Soft Shell Crab Tempura 4/5

The Soft Shell Crab Tempura was pleasing with airy batter. There was a light crunch in every bite, and the best bits were those that gave way to the sweet meat inside.

IMG_4660
G Dragon Maki 4/5

One of the recommended dishes at the restaurant is the G Dragon Maki, scrumptious with fried King Prawn, salmon, and a spicy housemade sauce. The fiery savoury sauce brought out the sweetness of the prawns, and I enjoyed the overall mouth-filling texture.

IMG_4628
Unagi Don 3.8/5

If you are here for lunch, there are also simple yet pleasing Dons such as Unagi Don at affordable prices. The Unagi was served glazed with tare sauce and slightly charred, adding a delicious smokey flavour layer. The meat was unctuous too. Hence the humble pickled shallots and radish slices were the perfect accompaniments to punctuate the dish with their acidity.
