Urban Beer Fest on Friday & Saturday was BEYOND LIT. Of course, I was there primarily for the beautiful booze, but the food offerings were pretty fabulous too. @kubo.sg was serving up A5 wagyu beef tongue that day that had my tongue wagging in anticipation, and I KNEW I had to have it. With a beer of course, it is a beer festival after all. Do excuse the garbage tier blue light though.⠀

Urban Beer Fest went on a token system, and fifteen tokens set me back fifty four dollars. This wagyu beef tongue cost me five tokens, which works out to…eighteen dollars. Eighteen bucks for A5 wagyu ain’t bad at all! And of course, A5 wagyu tongue is absolutely guaranteed to lavish your tongue with lots of love.⠀

The meat is seared spectacularly and seasoned sparingly with salt, allowing you to fully appreciate the luxuriousness of this premium bovine in all its splendour. The texture is akin to that of gelatinous butter, and exposure to the heat of your mouth will melt it ever so gently. The flavour is like that of butter, but far more refined & much, much more intense. I’m guessing that the emulsion on the bottom was a spicy mayo or something equivalent, but it definitely needed more spice to stand up to the mind blowing awesomeness that is the beef tongue.⠀

The salad on the side was absolutely perfect though. It was sharp and zesty, more than powerful enough to cleanse your palate of all the rich, beefy sinfulness of the A5 wagyu tongue. The fresh salad was also incredibly excellent even if it were to be a standalone dish, with the zesty Yuzu dressing, crunchy vegetables and that addictive round white disk that may or may not have been fishcake.⠀

If Kubo has this breathtaking beef tongue on their permanent menu, you’re god damn right that I’ll be back.
