@thegyuco has opened a new outpost in PLQ’s foodcourt, bringing their Japanese ricebowls from the lawless wastelands of Jurong to Singapore proper. Their standard Wagyu Gyudon costs $9.90, but I was here to splash some cash. Enter the decadent Truffle Foie Gras Wagyu, retailing at a very reasonable $17.90 nett. Now that’s what I call ballin’ on a budget.⠀

The felicitously fatty wagyu shabu shabu is sliced thicker than standard, making for much better mouthfeel & a lot more satisfaction when chewing. It’s wagyu, and it simply melts in your mouth as you chew each gargantuan slice. And there are SO MANY HUMONGOUS SLICES. Absolute beatific beefy bliss, on god. The soft boiled egg is a little extra, but the eggporn man. Plus, the rich yolk mixes well with the Japanese rice that’s saturated with all that sapid beefy gravy. De-lish-ious.⠀

The beef is topped with black truffle shavings, truffle paste and a judicious squirting of truffle oil. As it is black truffle, don’t expect too much earthy truffle flavour. You really smell the truffle more than you taste it, but it’s a sublime symphony for your sense of smell. And of course, the foie gras is the crown jewel in this bowl fit for royalty.⠀

Not gonna lie, my expectations for the foie gras were pretty low, but the quality of this duck liver blew me outta the water. It’s pan seared just perfectly, as the most of the foie gras past the crust is still melting & butter-like instead of a mostly gelatinous chunk like many other places. It develops that sexily seared exterior which contains the jelly-like, still melting liver within. It’s quite literally butter, as its pure fat content just melts all over your tongue. It’s pure hedonism contained in a little wedge of duck liver, and I still have rapturous dreams about this foie gras.⠀

The fact that I paid less than twenty dollars for this stellar, scintillating bowl of pure gluttonous gratification is astounding. You’d pay at least thirty to forty bucks for a bowl of this quality elsewhere, but not me, oh no. I can’t keep getting away with it. I can’t keep getting away with daylight robbery. But goddamn it feels good, man.
