A scrumptious Japanese rice bowl in the CBD!

Kabuke is pretty much hidden away from the bustle despite located right smack in Telok Ayer Street. Located on the second floor, the compact establishment can host people at its bar counter as well as a couple of group tables.

It offers a couple of rice bowls in the range of $15-20 to attract the lunch crowd but I opted for one of its signature wagyu bowls, the Kabuke Pleasure Bowl. On the menu, it’s priced at $58 but thank goodness for Entertainer, it’s now just $29 a pop thanks to 1-for-1.

What can I say but that I licked the bowl clean? The Australian wagyu strip-loin had a seared exterior leaving a pink tender centre. The uni tasted sweet and fresh and was decked with a slip of caviar. The bowl included a nice hefty chunk of foie gras. The onsen egg and ikura coated the Niigata Koshihikari rice well and goes well with the truffle shoyu.
I was pleasantly surprised at how good a bowl this was. Will definitely be back if I’m in the CBD!
