Specialising in the best premium Japanese wagyu that melts in your mouth, Fat Cow is a Japanese steakhouse where you can enjoy an extensive array of top-of-the-line Japanese beef.

Fans of the award-winning fine-dining Japanese restaurant will be thrilled to know that they have opened MIYOSHI by Fat Cow, a new modern dining concept at Mess Hall in Sentosa.

MIYOSHI, which translates to ‘three graces’, is an allusion to the restaurant’s roots and its concept. A culinary collaboration by Head Chef Shingo Iijima of Fat Cow and Sous Chef Nigel Loh, MIYOSHI by Fat Cow focuses on three iconic dining experiences of Japanese cuisine – ramen, teppan-kaiseki and omakase.

If it is your first time visiting MIYOSHI by Fat Cow, we highly recommend going for their dinner Teppan-Kaiseki (S$280+++ and additional S$78++ for a 4-glass sake pairing) – an exquisite 11-course meal which showcases some of the best offerings by the modern Japanese restaurant. We were simply blown away by the sheer lavishness of the premium ingredients.

MIYOSHI by Fat Cow’s Teppan-Kaiseki dinner menu

• Zensai
• Fresh Spring Rolls & Wagyu Tartare
• Wagyu Sawani-wan
• Straw Smoked Hokkaido Scallops
• Uni Soba
• Yuzu Butter Madai
• Steamed Abalone
• Teppan Style Sukiyaki
• Wagyu Tenderloin A4
• Signature Garlic Rice
• Black Sesame Tofu

The meal began with a series of appetisers in the form of “light bites”. The Wagyu Kinome Yaki was a no-frills kind of appetiser – just a lovely piece of wagyu that’s pan-seared to a perfect tenderness.

A thinly-sliced A4 wagyu slice was lightly boiled then simmered in a lovely dashi broth with shredded vegetables, and the end result was simply sublime. What a way to start our Teppan-Kaiseki!

These Straw Smoked Hokkaido Scallops has redefined scallops for us. Probably among the hugest scallops we’ve ever seen, these plump babies were carefully teppanyaki-grilled for that hint of smokiness while retaining the juiciness.

The Uni Soba was such a pretty dish! And it tasted as good as it looked. You get fresh uni atop cold soba, topped with nikumiso and soba sauce – the dish was creamy with a nice texture, and subtly sweet.

This dish of Yuzu Butter Madai was superb! A fresh chunk of a sea bream is seared on the teppan, then coated with yuzu kyoto miso and served with sweet seasonal vegetables; light flavours, yet packs a punch.

The highlight for us was the Teppan Style Sukiyaki. Luxuriate in a slice of marinated wagyu, served in a black truffle sukiyaki and egg yolk sauce – we were so in awe of this dish that we wanted more.

Saving the best for the last, we had the Wagyu Tenderloin A4. It was lightly seasoned with salt and pepper to allow the natural flavour of the beef to shine. You can always count on the Fat Cow team to serve the best steaks!

Other than the Teppan-Kaiseki, MIYOSHI by Fat Cow offers other a la carte dishes and you can choose from various menus including Teppanyaki, Robatayaki, Sukiyaki, Shabu Shabu, Donburi and Ramen.

From the prized Satsuma beef to the renowned Hida beef, and everyone’s favourite Miyazaki beef, MIYOSHI by Fat Cow offers some of the best premium Japanese beef in Singapore.

Go for their Robatayaki-style Satsuma A4 Tenderloin (S$158) or Hida A5 Wagyu Ribeye (S$148). And not forgetting the crowd-favourite wagyu donburi. You can go for the Wagyu Yakiniku Donburi or try the Hida Wagyu Ribeye & Satsuma Tenderloin Donburi teppanyaki-style.

Another highlight of MIYOSHI by Fat Cow is the Wagyu Shoyu Ramen (S$58++) that features premium Miyazaki A4 wagyu presented in shabu-style slices.

From now till 30 June 2023, when you dine with a guest for the teppan-kaiseki dinner set menu, pay by Mastercard and receive a complimentary bottle of sake.

Beef Donburi, or Japanese Beef Bowls, is quite simply one of the best things you can eat. It is a bowl of happiness, one that is good for breakfast, lunch, dinner, supper… anything.

In Japan, beef bowls are enjoyed at every hour of the day. There are beef bowls for all budgets, but the common chains are usually the budget ones and popular among solo diners. In Singapore, we are blessed to have numerous places that serve good beef bowls. But let’s focus on the premium Wagyu Beef Bowls that are elevated to the next level by using the finest Wagyu, sea urchin, caviar and shaved truffles.

We’ve rounded up 10 of our favourite Wagyu Donburi in Singapore, and you really should try them if you’ve got that extra moolah to splurge on yourself.

BEDROCK BAR & GRILL – WAGYU PETIT FILLET STEAK RICE BOWL

the Signature Black Pepper Steak Rice Bowl (from S$58++) features Wagyu petit fillet, a portion of rich and buttery foie gras, topped on a bed of fragrant beef drippings garlic rice, with grilled onion, pickled pumpkin, soft boiled egg, and Bedrock black pepper sauce.

The prime cut is aged for at least 21 days and prized for its exceptional taste and fine texture. Complemented with ikura, foie gras, and an onsen egg on top of Fat Cow’s signature fat rice, luxuriate in all the good stuff; you will never see gyudon the same way again.

A clever play on the word ‘chateaubriand’—which is a prime tender cut of wagyu—Shatoburian is the most talked-about Japanese yakiniku restaurant in town now. Famed for their extensive menu of prized Hida wagyu cuts, this contemporary Japanese BBQ restaurant is a heaven for wagyu aficionados.

The restaurant sits within Palais Renaissance and is already a regular hangout spot among celebrities, socialites, wagyu connoisseurs and pretty much anyone who wants a good yakiniku meal.

Shatoburian sits on the second level of Palais Renaissance. The elusive restaurant is decked in a predominantly-dark interior with wooden partitions, and it is a cosy, intimate space for any special occasion. You may choose to enjoy your meal at the counter or sit at the tables for your own privacy.

It is wonderful to know that Shatoburian is all about sustainability. Their cattle hail from the Gifu prefecture and the restaurant adopts the nose-to-tail method of importing, hence offering all types of cuts of wagyu on its menu. The culinary team are so confident in their meat quality and flavours that they go easy on the seasoning and artificial flavourings.

You may not know where to start, and we will tell you go to for the Signature Yakiniku Don which comes in three variations—Kurobuta Pork (S$85), Japanese Wagyu Beef (S$118) and Chef’s premium selection of Japanese wagyu beef (S$188).

The Japanese Wagyu Beef Yakiniku Donburi is presented with foie gras, uni, caviar, onsen egg and topped with shaved truffles. Luxurious and indulgent, this heavenly bowl of treasures will make your day, regardless of which variation you go for. This is, hands down, one of the best wagyu donburi in Singapore.

There is this claypot rice dish that is good for sharing, and it is the Truffle Mushroom Gohan (S$98). A mix of French and Japanese mushrooms are cooked to order and topped with shaved truffles—simple but very earthy flavours with a splendid aftertaste of the fragrant truffle.

On the yakiniku menu, you can choose from thin-slice, normal-slice as well as steak cuts.

Our ultimate favourite is definitely the Shato-suki (S$80)!

100g of Sirloin is BBQ-ed over big flames only until medium-rare, leaving the slices of heaven still soft and tender, before it is served in a Japanese raw egg.

Other cuts to love are the Misuji (Oyster blade, S$52), Rib Shin (S$70) and Pork Jowl (S$28), as well as Chateaubriand (S$150)—Shatoburian’s prized cut—which is 120g of the most tender and best cut of the tenderloin.

Most of the meats are available in Shio or Tare (Barbeque sauce) and the steaks are served with Himalayan salt and condiments.

It goes without saying that a meal at Shatoburian doesn’t come cheap. But is it worth splurging on? Definitely! This is the place to head to if you are willing to pay a premium for quality wagyu yakiniku.

Wagyu beef bowls are, for the most part, hella expensive. Even when cravings for mind-blowing, melt-in-your-mouth wagyu kick in, most of us do not have the capacity to spend a hundred dollars on a wagyu beef don as we wish.

While there’s no doubt that luxurious premium wagyu beef bowls often come attached with a hefty price tag, that there are also plenty of wallet-friendly alternatives all over Singapore. If you want to indulge yet have a slight budget constraint, fret not for there are still options available.

Here are 12 wagyu beef bowls in Singapore to try, with prices ranging from just S$6.50 nett to S$98++.

True to their motto ‘Premium eats at affordable prices’, their Wagyu Beef Bowl (S$6.50) is certainly one of the cheapest we’ve come across. Granted, the beef slices are not melt-in-your-mouth tender but for its price, it sure as heck is worth every cent!

Complementing the hearty bowl is a yoghurt-based sauce that gives the meal a refreshing element, although we must admit that some may not be able to appreciate the pairing.
