Unapologetically sinful, Fat Cow’s Miyazaki A4 Wagyu Premium Donburi ($128) was real decadent. A large bowl of well-seasoned beef fat rice layered with slices of A5 Nagasaki wagyu topped with caviar, buttery foie gras, ikura, a runny onsen egg, and truffle shoyu - there was really quite a lot going on. Apart from the medley of heavy-tasting elements, the rice portion was also a little much. However, the fat-laced wagyu steak was indeed flawlessly grilled (perfect when dipped into the brilliantly yellow yolk). Done medium-rare, it was succulent and complementary to the heady truffle aroma. Not overly beefy, the thickness of the protein was just right for me as it felt substantial without being overwhelming. The alfalfa, on the side, was a great touch in cutting some of the richness. What’s more, I truly enjoyed the cubes of pan-fried foie gras (so tender and strangely, pleasantly sweet) and the briny pops of ikura. With the lunch set was also a lovely Chawanmushi topped with a flavourful layer of ankake as well as miso soup and not forgetting a scoop of ice cream for dessert.
