What could possibly top A5 Wagyu beef tongue? How bout an A5 wagyu yakiniku poketto sando from @gyusan.sg? This sando, which is really half a sandwich, cost five tokens at @urbanbeerfest, which works out to roughly eighteen dollars. Considering that the full sando at Gyu San proper is forty five bucks before tax & service charge, I’d say I got a damn good bargain.⠀

Not only did I get a damn good bargain, I got a damn divine steak sandwich. Biting into this beef stuffed pocket sandwich provided me the absolute gluttonous glee that can only come from biting into a slice of fantastically fatty wagyu beef. I’m glad that Gyu San was wise enough to employ slices of beef that were thicker than normal, giving a gloriously gratifying chew for the briefest of seconds before it melts into an intensely beefy butter in your mouth.⠀

The flavours of the fatty wagyu are amplified to awesome levels by the inclusion of a teriyaki glaze that coats each sexily seared slice of heaven. Sweet and salty, the teriyaki emphasises the hedonistic, beefy qualities of the A5 wagyu absolutely perfectly. On the other hand, the wasabi mayo spread in the pocket of bread, working in tandem with the shiso leaf, ripped right through all that beefy, fatty richness with their sharp, nose-clearing pungency and keep you coming back for even more bites of utter beef & bread heaven.⠀

Sure, these wagyu sandos will burn a hole in your pocket, but these wagyu poketto sandos are so divine I wouldn’t mind at all. Shoot, I’d trade my overpriced BTO flat in the future to secure a steady lifetime supply of these astonishing A5 Yakiniku Poketto sandos.

P.S. Rocky Ridge’s Big Bobby Beedus Stout probably wasn’t the best complement to this insanely rich sando as it was pretty rich itself, but #noragrets
