Wagyu Express, Hokkaido Wagyu – Tanjong Pagar, Singapore

Wagyu Express, a newly opened Japanese restaurant in Tanjong Pagar district, they purchase and import entire cattle of Wagyu from Japan. Diners can enjoy the sophisticated taste of authentic Wagyu over Shiro Zumi ( 白炭, Japanese white charcoal).

Kimchi Mori ($10)

I didn’t expect to have Kimchi in a Japanese restaurant, but it turned out to be a good appetizer before we started our Wagyu feast. It comes with three types of Kimchi, Chinese cabbages fermented in a rich shrimp and oyster dashi, cucumbers and white radishes. I like the cucumbers kimchi the most simply because of its crunchiness.

Carrot Salad ($7)

The crunch carrot strips, red onions together with a sweet and sour dressing make up a great salad.

Wagyu Akami Mori ($33)

Consists of three types of lean wagyu, thigh, rump, and tonbi (chuck tender shoulder). We grilled the wagyu over shiro zumi (Japanese white charcoal). Out of the three cuts, I enjoyed the naka karubi the most, it is meltingly tender and juicy. It will definitely make me return.

Wagyu Jo Karubi Steak G Butter ($25)

The fat to meat ratio was just nice, every bite was well-balanced. The garlic butter and salt added one more layer of the dimension.

Buta Sirloin ($15)

The restaurant imports “Yume no Daichi” pork from Hokkaido, the fine-grained meat is succulent and silky smooth. We have been told that it contains a high concentration of oleic acid – that’s good for your cholesterol levels. So take more!

Reimen ($11)

Originally a dish from the norther part of the Korean peninsula, the semi-translucent noodles, made from wheat flour and starch, it gives a uniquely chewy texture. It was served in a refreshing chilled soup, the cold Kimchi and charsiew are perfect toppings.

NAHMJ Verdict
