Glad to report that this Wagyu dish was totally beef-itting the calories contained therein😉
.
Frequent viewers of my IG (@tidusjwoo) would know that I’ve a love for gyu katsu sandos, so I was really stoked that I got to try @tamashii_robataya’s rendition of the Katsu Sando using A3 Saga Wagyu🤤🤤🤤
.
The dish was nicely balanced, with the sweetness and slight tang from plum sauce completing the indulgent marbling of the beef. The chili padi (?) sauce (not pictured) also provided an interesting dimension to the dish with its lingering yet addictive touch of heat
.
That said, I did feel like the katsu could’ve been crispier, and that the bread:meat ratio was slightly off. I would have preferred bread slices that were slightly thicker/fluffier. An excellent dish nonetheless. My biggest gripe is probably that the portions! For💰4️⃣8️⃣, the A3 Saga Wagyu Sando was gone way too fast😢

Fork-tender? More like spoon- tender. Sharing one of my favourite BBQ joints in Singapore with y’all - @deckerbarbecue 🤤

With a custom-built smoker from Dallas, and meats smoked up to 16 hours - these folks really know how to deliver up a mean tray of authentic Texas barbeque

I fell in love with BBQ after my stint in UIUC in Illinois, so this is easily one of my favourite places to eat in Singapore!

Pictured is the 6 rib ribplate (S$32) which comes with 2 sides and is pretty good value for the amount of meat they serve up!

Katsu Sando (S$8.50) was pretty filling / decently sized for the price! The caramelised onions served in the sandwich complemented the meat pretty well, though I wish that they were more generous with the onions and the onions were more evenly spread. Taste wise, I think my only brickbat was that the pork was not as tender as I would’ve liked, though the thinness of each slice mitigated any need for unnecessary jaw work. That said, the pork was pretty lean so that’s great for anyone who doesn’t like fatty meat.

Cloud Nine (S$23) - Gin, Kyoto Murasaki Liquer, Vanilla Syrup, Lemon Juice, Calpis and Lemon Juice - think of this as elevated (and alcoholic) adult grape yakult - all with a side of cotton candy for the kid in you / the young at heart 😉

Black and White (S$22) - Abuelo Anejo Rum, Caramel Syrup, Black Sesame Miso Paste, Milk and served with warm muah chee - this is truly a mod-sin cocktail cum dessert come to life!
