Chewbacca 1st Gear May 27, 2012 Share May 27, 2012 But it's only a knuckle cut, though. Not the prized prime-rib or tenderloin. But given that those 2 are ~$130 per kg, I think the knuckle is fine enough. Going to cook it later tonight..... Found it at NTUC Finest in Clementi. Saw that the guy selling it has 'Culina' on his apron. Culina should be the one selling all the gourmet food stuff in dempsey ba? Maybe I'll check again.... Bought nearly half a KG. Going to cook it...BLUE! WOOOooooo ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewbacca 1st Gear May 27, 2012 Author Share May 27, 2012 Personally I find little difference in taste between Wagyu and other good steak from wet market. In fact if you'd've gone along to the two stalls in the Clementi wet market I think you'd've found some equally tasty rib eye for half the price, you could've then done a comparison. I think it's all a scam. In fact with us Singaporeans generally I think we think the higher the price or the longer the queue the better the product. We aren't discernible at all. But enjoy your steak. Well, aren't you a happy troper. :( To be honest, I live by cheap steaks most of the time. There are ways to prepare the meat to have them approach the taste and feel of premium steaks. But, it's oly $50, man! Normal steak is like, $30. And, yes, I can taste the difference. But sometimes I do wonder if the price difference is worth it.... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TameDriver Twincharged May 27, 2012 Share May 27, 2012 Personally, I don't purchase any Wagyu beef for our own consumption unless for entertaining guests. I find it rather unhealthy; fat leaden but most people don't realised or mind it becos it's so smooth and palatable and since it's expensive, it must be good! I rather buy Tenderloin for steaks and Chuck Tender for stews and from Supermarkets only. Reason being, the stall holders charge different price per Kg for different customers!

TameDriver Twincharged May 27, 2012 Share May 27, 2012 Btw, you can get beef Tenderloin for <$50/Kg from Cold Storage when they occasionally advertise the offer on Friday. Try to get it on Friday or Saturday mornings as supply will run out fast, as I had found out at times. Buy more to keep as this cut freeze well. Cook as steak or if you can get it uncut, roast it.....Yummm! Bon Appetit! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewbacca 1st Gear May 27, 2012 Author Share May 27, 2012 Turn out to be not too bad. Should have salted it when the steak's not so cold, though.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davidklt 6th Gear May 27, 2012 Share May 27, 2012 (edited) I have a steak once a week. I cook them myself, usually rib eye. Anyone into caviar too ? Edited May 27, 2012 by Davidtkl Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Expertz 1st Gear May 27, 2012 Share May 27, 2012 (edited) there are different grades of waygu, its probably the lower graded versions are on sale but if you know how to cook the steak well enough even a $20 steak can taste like a $80 plate Edited May 27, 2012 by Expertz Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But enjoy your steak. That's probably cos you have only ever tasted the lower grade wagyu. I get my wagyu from Australia - always grade 9 at about $90AUD per kilo. Cooking Wagyu is very easy, I slice it into thin pieces, almost bite size as I have neither the equipment nor the skills to grill a perfect steak! Preheat the frying pan, throw the slices of wagyu in and sprinkle with maybe two pinches of salt. Two minutes later, they're done! Brilliant! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway Australia exports a lot of lower grade wagyu as well. Look at the marbling and you can predict what it will taste like. Yakiniku Yazawa at Robertson Quay has some pretty good beef. The Chateaubriand is awesome, it looks like a block of butter marbled with lots of super fine veins of fat, before it is sliced and thrown on the bbq.

Brilliant! don't you think 2 minutes is really too much? unless your steak is really thick and your pan isn't very hot or you are the type who eats well done steak? i'd rather have a hot pan and less than half a minute per side cooked on the outside but completely raw inside is the best!
