Overall, this didn’t disappoint at all, except maybe for their baked beans which was below average quality. Paired well with the black pepper sauce, the grilled chicken chop had a nice charred taste and was succulent. Special mention goes to their fluffy fried bun which went perfectly well with the black pepper sauce.

Regrets for not trying this earlier… This is soo yummy in my tummy! The noodles texture is perfectly springy and managed to hold the thick tasty broth well when dipped into. Probably the only downside is that there isn’t much meat in the tsukemen broth.

Be prepared to queue during peak hours and weekends!

Highly rated on Google Reviews 4.7⭐️, @tomahawk.king is the perfect place for meat lovers to have their cravings satisfied! Other than serving their Signature Tomahawk Steak, OMOOKASE is their Japanese-inspired yakiniku concept that offers both the famous prime cuts of A5 Wagyu and also its prized-off cuts.

Here’s what we enjoyed…
👉🇯🇵 A5 Satsuma Wagyu Premium Meat Platter (200g) - SGD79.90 (U.P. SGD109)
Ribeye, Striploin, Tenderloin, Shortribs, Flank, Skirt
👉Tomahawk Steak UPSIZE 120 days Australian Grain Fed (1.1-1.2kg) - SGD138.90
Comes with 3 sides (cheesy fries, onion rings & garden salad) & 3 sauces

To my Muslim friends, this HALAL recommendation is for you. Thanks to the amazing marbling, each wagyu beef slice had a melt-in-your-mouth texture and went surprisingly well with the nacho cheese dip. As for the huge Tomahawk Steak, it had a good meat-to-fat ratio and was tasty too.

If you didn’t know, Shinsho Ramen serves a range of Pai-tan ramen that features a delicate chicken broth with rich flavours. The creamy consistency and deep savoury flavours of the Pai-tan soup is a result of boiling and simmering a large amount of whole chicken, pork bones and several kinds of seasonal vegetables for more than 8 hours! Having tried their Black Garlic, Spicy Red Miso and Special Black Truffle, we concluded that our top favourite is the latter. I must say the texture of the round noodles were great too!

Oden lovers should definitely give their Pai-tan oden a try! With up to 13 amazing ingredient options to soak up all the goodness of their delicious chicken broth, it will bound to warm you up during cool, wintery days!

Last but not the least, Shinsho’s Katsu was surprisingly impressive. The seasonal Premium Iberico Pork Loin Katsu features the plump, juicy cut that’s deep-fried to a crispy, golden brown perfection, available at only SGD18.90. Their Ebi & Kaki Oyster will be perfect for any seafood lover!

Since I’m in Bukit Merah area, decided to drop by to try some of their fresh artisanal bakes! Decided to get their pistachio croissant since I’m a big fan of pistachio and no regrets. Great flaky texture on the exterior and packed with flavour. Will definitely be back to try more bakes…

Here at their relatively new outlet in Lavender to try more of their yummy high quality ice cream! Had their Pistachio and Blue Hawaii (Bluepea flower with choc chips & a hint of sea salt) this time and as expected they didn’t disappoint at all. I’d highly recommend their Blue Hawaii if you actually like Blue Milk from
Apiary.
