The final member of the divine trio of mains we sampled at @fukudonsg is the Wagyu Onigiri Don. For $16.50 a serving, you get a (approximately) hundred & fifty gram wagyu flank steak all over a bed of that dressed & seasoned onigiri rice, and flanked by ajitsuke tamago (ramen egg) and some pickled cucumbers.⠀

I’m not sure if this is the normal presentation for the steak, but I found it excessively cut up. Sure, it’s a superb steak, but if it gets cut up too much the texture will be marred. However, there was no denying that the impeccably medium rare steak was seasoned spectacularly. It’s salty and seductively smoky from being kissed by the blowtorch. Beefy, salty, smoky and tremendously tender, the wagyu in this Wagyu Onigiri Don was exquisite.⠀

As for the accoutrements, the Onigiri rice was mixed with just the right amounts of mirin, salt and other secret seasonings, resulting in a rice that didn’t need the aid of any sauce to be polished off in short order. Their soy seasoned ramen eggs were boiled just right, retaining that liquid gold yolk that’s mandatory of any proper soft boiled egg. The soy sauce that the eggs had marinated in had seeped into every molecule of egg, producing a savoury, redolent ramen egg.⠀

Sixteen dollars and fifty cents isn’t too bad for a hundred & fifty grams of wagyu flank steak on a bed of redolent rice. Plus, everything in this bowl is downright delish and will satiate most appetites. Thank you for hosting us, @fukudonsg!⠀
