Dashi Master Marusaya (Robertson Quay)

This is the full, 2 pax set. It's really quite pathetic

The beef isn't particularly good even, not melty. It's decent, esp if you cook it to medium rare. Quite easy to overcook tbh, so be careful

The whole idea of the place is Dashi, l wasn't particularly impressed. It's alright for sure, but if you don't say anything I wouldn't imagine this is a 100bucks Dashi place at all

Not to mention the portion is srsly tiny, idk if it even feeds 1

They said UP 200+, but for 200g UP is only 136++

I really don't understand how they survived after all these years. It's a fake atas place, the prices are up there but everything from the ambience to the staff(not Japanese at all) is not up there at all

The restaurant famous among Japanese dinners that come for shabu shabu, side dishes and even drinks.
Feature :
💕A5 wagyu beef melting and Hokkaido pork.
All meat include assorted vegetables and 2 dipping sauces, minimum 2 order.
I like the wagyu beef, tender and melt in the mouth,and my fav dipping will be yuzu rice malt.
The dashi stock made from dried bonito flakes that takes two years to process, doesn’t contain any MSG or other artificial seasoning. So it’s easy to drink and comforting.
💰 $88 for wagyu and $38 for pork.

Diners can enjoy 10% off from bill by show the restaurant this post (until 30th April)

I am a big fan of hotpot and when I heard that @marusaya_singapore has launched a NEW Tonkotsu Gyokai soup, I just have to try it!

The new Tonkotsu Gyokai soup is a delightful combination of robust pork soup and gyokai (fish dashi soup) prepared with their signature Dashi. In addition, they used freshly shaved Katsuobushi (dried bonito flakes) to add to the sweetness and depth of the broth. No wonder the broth was so hearty and flavourful!

We started our meal with 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐡𝐢 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐒𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐂𝐫𝐚𝐛 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐘𝐮𝐳𝐮 𝐙𝐞𝐬𝐭. Silky smooth egg custard paired with fresh and meaty snow
crab was just the perfect way to warm up our palates! To make a wonderful blend of flavors, we combined the yuzu zest with the egg custard and snow crab.

Next, we had the 𝐓𝐨𝐧𝐤𝐨𝐭𝐬𝐮 𝐆𝐲𝐨𝐤𝐚𝐢 𝐃𝐚𝐬𝐡𝐢 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐛𝐮, which requires for a minimum of 2 diners. We had the A5 Wagyu Beef Umami Part and Hokkaido Pork. I like it that they served Tonkotsu Gyukai Dashi Shabu with ramen and assorted vegetables, so you can slurp up all the remaining broth!

A special point to note is that they have six different kinds of dipping sauce to pair the shabu with - Ponzu Vinegar, Sesame, Sour Plum, Leek Sesame Oil, Sukiyaki and Yuzu Rice Malt. My personal favourite was the Yuzu Rice Malt as it pairs well with the meat and refreshes our palates at the same time!

We ended the hearty meal with 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐚 𝐈𝐜𝐞 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐤𝐚, a traditional Japanese sweet consisting of azuki bean filling sandwiched between two thin mochi wafer. Love the presentation!

This features a base of warm wobbly soft silken egg custard infused with dashi broth, resulting in a deep eggy sweet savoury flavour.

Topped with luxurious creamy bafun uni / sea urchin and juicy globules of ikura / salmon fish roe, bursting with delightfully briny sweet salty flavour.

This highlights sweet potato as the star ingredient.
.
Of the 2, the Sweet Potato Cake has a nice soft moist crumbly texture, with mild sweet savoury earthy flavour. A drizzle of honey makes this more appetizing with floral sweet notes.
.
The Sweet Potato Ice Cream was good, with stronger earthy sweet flavour, although it started to melt rather quickly.
