Wagyu beef !

New food recommendation: Wagyu Beef

Had dinner at Gyukaku, a Japanese BBQ restaurant at Chijmes, today. Food was good, especially the avocado & tofu salad, Wagyu Beef and Pork Belly(forgot the jap name). The wagyu beef reminds me of the other one I ate at Inagiku @ Raffles the Plaza. I just love wagyu beef! It melts in your mouth and everytime I eat it, I feel like I'm in heaven lol... I have a phobia of bad beef, typically the average kind that we meet at food courts or jack's place. But wagyu beef is great. So if you haven't tried it, do try it some day!

Champagne grapes. Real tiny and cute, but could be sweeter.



Look, so pretty!

So tiny as compared to my fingers

BTK vs Tiong Bahru chicken rice @ Changi Village

Here's a picture of Boon Tong Kee's chicken rice, the takeaway version.



Hmmm... I feel that the Tiong Bahru chicken rice @ Changi Village is slightly better. The rice is more yellow and tasty (having the chicken taste), the meat & skin tastes better, is not that dry and the best thing is it comes with free flow of soup!! So you can help yourself to unlimited bowls of soup, great for soup lovers. The soup also changes with time, sometimes itz yummy peanut soup, herbal soup or chicken soup. I wanna drooool right now, thinking about it. But to be fair, I was having a dapao-ed version from BTK (with breast meat), so it wasn't steaming hot, thus may not taste as good as it should be.

Anyhow, try the Tiong Bahru Chicken rice @ CV!
