Tried their decadent tonkatsu as well. It was deep fried and cut into small cubes for the perfect, luxurious bite. One bite and you can really appreciate how rich and tender the Wagyu is, especially when it melts in your mouth. Honestly - get this if you’re willing to spend but also share this with someone because one portion of this richness was overwhelming for me😂 at certain points I felt like the beef was slightly too undercooked to my liking, but I guess that was what preserves the tenderness. Recommend to try if you’re all things Wagyu and want to have a taste of something different.

Have honestly heard many raving reviews about how well executed the tonkatsu at Katsuya is - after all that’s what they specialise in. The restaurant clearly prides itself on their process - both cooking and consuming of their tonkatsu, whereby there are their special menu you could preorder from and clear instructions on how one should consume the tonkatsu by the table. The Rosu ad they claimed, had a slight amount of fat with the meat to give it the slight juiciness - though I somehow was hoping for more juiciness. That being said, despite it being fried, I did not think that it was too oily. So that made it a great accompaniment with the free flow rice and cabbage salad that they serve.

A cold tofu dish with aburi salmon. Really enjoyed this dish as an appetiser to kick off the very heavy and fried meal. It was light and the aburi salmon was well seared, which gave a very nice added texture to the silky tofu.

Peak hour on a weekend especially in the weekend does not guarantee you’ll try their famous beef bowls. So I went for their pork cheek bowl which was so amazingly melt in your mouth tender. 5 stars for the texture, but I thought overall the flavour was a bit bland despite the slight smokiness. Still, a pretty nice meal to have with the atmosphere at Bedok marketplace.

A lovely bowl of ramen that was rich and so delightful to eat. Just slightly creamy, the Godfire broth was made even better with the huge kick of spiciness. The chashu was also very tender. Worth the queue (but only if you’re not starving).

Also, shout out to the gyoza - one of the better ones I’ve tried. Soft skin with yet still a nice bite. Amazing flavour.

The stall claims to not use any MSG, but the chicken broth is naturally rich in flavour which was satisfying. While I still prefer tonkotsu broth for my ramen, this bowl is still a pleasant choice as it presents itself as a simple delicacy. A relatively small shop, but the staff were very welcoming and kind. For a 4.5 star rating on Google, I was pretty excited for Matsuri and expecting to be mindblown, though alas, there was nothing much that stood out to me in particular. Maybe I tried the wrong dish?

Fluffy egg on rice which looks way too appetising with surprise pork bits beneath. A small bowl but honestly very worth it if you’re not a big eater and want to order more sides. While the egg was indeed fluffy and slightly runny, the entire bowl lacked flavour. But for the price and the free condiments they give at the side - chilli powder, mayonnaise, and even bean sprouts, you can easily solve the problem to make a whole new dish of your own!

A nice light flavour here, nothing too strong nor overwhelming but neither was it mind blowing. A very normal bowl of katsu don with two huge crispy breaded prawns. Highly recommend just going for the tonkotsu here for their premium pork loin!

One of my favorite tonkatsu places! Love the free flow cabbage that you can eat with every bite of the rice. The premium pork loin was really tender, while breaded and fried til very crispy. The miso sauce gave a nice peppery and savoury taste to it. Highly recommend!!

Thinly sliced charred pork jowl in a bowl, topped with an onsen egg. Nice flavour but nothing mind blowing, but I must say, this was pretty affordably priced for the ambience!

Only tried 2 grills here but they were pretty delightful. The Tsukumen was juicy and flavourful and I loved the miso glaze on the pork belly.

Finally visited Nomiya and kicked things off with their seasonal oysters topped with seaweed and ponzu sauce. Went for the option with ikura, that cost $18 for 2 pieces. And it was so damn worth it with how huge, plump, and fresh the oysters were! Wished there was a bit more ponzu sauce for more tartness to counter the overwhelming fishiness from both the oyster and ikura.
