Huggs Coffee has been on a roll on its plan of expansion recently; ever since the opening of their outlet at Thomson Plaza, they have since opened several other new outlets such as the ones at i12 Katong, JEM, Lazada One and more; their latest outlet being the one located at Clarke Quay Central. Whilst this new outlet still serves very much the same items as what their other outlets are serving up and also includes a display freezer at the counter to display the flavours of gelato from Denzy Gelato available, the Clarke Quay Central outlet marks the very first time that Huggs Coffee is serving up hot food in its cafes. Available in the menu at their Clarke Quay Central outlet is a whole line-up of “Mains” — this section of the menu features the various Donburi, Poke and side dishes offered in collaboration with a brand named “Karubi”. For those patrons who wish to opt for another form of carbs for their Donburi, an option of Salad Mix or Zawo Soba is also available at $1 extra.

Given how it was being mentioned as a signature item on the menu, there was no giving the Signature Truffle Wagyu Donburi a miss here. Priced at $18.90, the Signature Truffle Wagyu Donburi features the same elements that comes with the Original Wagyu which includes items like Australian Grain-Fed Wagyu Beef, Onsen Egg, Housemade Beef Shoyu Glaze, Shibazuke and Japonica Rice — the only other addition exclusive to the Signature Truffle Wagyu Donburi would be the Housemade Signature Black Truffle Concoction which can be said as a truffle-infused mayonnaise. Digging into the Signature Truffle Wagyu Donburi and we were immediately impressed; really liked that Australian Grain-Fed Wagyu Beef which came with the Housemade Beef Shoyu Glaze; the glaze adding a hint of sweetness to that Wagyu Beef that was savoury without any hint of gaminess that seems to have been blowtorched for a smoky note. The chunks of Wagyu Beef were also bite-sized; coming in a generous portion, the beef was also tender and does not require much effort to chew — very well-executed in its own. Given how the chunks of Wagyu beef were sitting above the bed of rice, the Housemade Beef Shoyu Glaze also lends it sweet-savoury note to the fluffy and suitably sticky Japonica Rice as well; a joy to polish up given how it is pretty easy to have. The Housemade Signature Black Truffle Concoction attempts to gel the carbs and the meat with its creaminess that is infused with a hint of truffle that isn’t particularly overwhelming, but constantly runs at the back of tongue to remind us of its existence; the sous-vide egg, with its runny egg yolk, also provides a silky texture to everything else in the bowl when mixed together with the various elements. The inclusion of Shibazuke was a thoughtful touch; these pickles help add a crunch and a refreshing tang that resets the taste buds when all of the meat, sauce and carbs get a little overwhelming — provides for a good break in between all of that which is happening in the bowl. Overall, a Donburi that is especially well-executed and delivers in terms of flavours and textures at a suitable price point.

Huggs Coffee has really gone a long way from its days as a coffee kiosk serving up simple bakes and ready-to-eat food that just needs to be heated up using an oven; not only do they seem big on collaborating with other local brands, they do seem to also found themselves dabbling into new territories such as having a proper hot kitchen to dish out actual hot food for those looking for something substantial enough as a meal on its own. Karubi seems to be off a very good start; their offerings do seem comparable to the same of other establishments that are known for serving Donburi in similar styles — something which we found to be fairly impressive. We do wish that they would be able to keep up to such standards in the long run; the Donburi is something which we would most certainly think about having if wanting to settle for a convenient, yet hearty and delicious meal in the area!

Committed to providing exceptional speciality coffee, Huggs never fails to disappoint with its curated selection of beverages. A crowd-favourite is most definitely the Mocha ($6.50), a double espresso served with premium chocolate sauce and perfectly steamed milk, lightly topped with foam. We reckon this is the perfect bittersweet union! Plus it comes with a cute bear latte art to boot.
