On a Sunday night, I visited Waa Cow! at NUS UTown, which is located roughly 10 minutes walk and 5 bus stops away (via bus 95 at 18331) from Kent Ridge MRT Exit A.

I ordered (1) Spicy Mentaiko Wagyu Beef, (2) Goma Tofu Set, and (3) Lemmy Lemonade.

At a cost of S$24.90, the Spicy Mentaiko Wagyu Beef was undeniably expensive, but the first-class wagyu gastronomy experience that came with the price tag was incontestable. By itself, the signature wagyu was indubitably a melt-in-your-mouth beefy, fatty, and juicy goodness. I could have literally finished the entire bowl of Wagyu just on its own even if there wasn’t any additional sauce that accompanied it. Nevertheless, the inclusion of the special beef sauce on the wagyu and the rice brought forth additional depth of flavours and textures, which undoubtedly refined the dish. But what really set this dish apart from its competitors was inarguably their house-made Spicy Mentaiko Sauce, which brought forth a very delightful spicy citrus flavour profile to the dish. With the addition of the Spicy Mentaiko, it created an auxiliary fun component to the already unbeatable dish, as I could mix-and-match the components that I want to include in my spoon, creating different variations of top-class flavours.

For that, I give Singapore’s Waa Cow! a 10/10 for Flavour.

In terms of customer service and ambience, perhaps due to the nature of the outlet’s location - which was located within a university, there wasn’t any aspect that stood out. Howbeit, if I were to really point out a characteristic that I appreciated, I wholeheartedly enjoyed the peacefulness at the NUS UTown outlet. There were barely any customers around towards closing, and the people strolling in the vicinity was close to none.

For that, I give Singapore’s Waa Cow! a 7/10 for Service and 7/10 for Ambience.

Overall, Waa Cow! at NUS UTown scored a 24/30 after combining the scores for Ambience, Flavour, and Service. To quickly conclude, the flavour was truly faultless, but for the best dining experience, I would recommend visiting their alternate outlets at Marina One and Change Alley Mall.
