Fat Cow

I first found out about Fat Cow last year. Ever since, i've always wanted to visit the Japanese Inspired Steakhouse!

As i'm heading to BKK tmr, Jon & i decided to spend some time together today. We had lunch at the restaurant that i've been dying to try!!! I waited for more than 6 months hor!!! K lah, to be honest, i kept forgetting about F.C, lol... Because i had The Sushi Bar to distract me ma!

I'm sooo happy i finally tried the highly-raved Fat Foa-Gura Don today!!! It was yumz!!! And that's the reason why i visited F.C during lunch hr! For the lunch menu!!! Dinner menu's different from the lunch menu & all i wanted to eat was the famous Fat Foa-Gura Don!!!

Without further ado... Let me share with you pictures of Fat Cow!


This is Fat Cow...

LOLLLLLLLLL!!!

Sorry, i just had to do that!!!

Okok, before i confuse you any further, Fat Cow is the name of a restaurant ya!!!


Fat Cow Sg ;)

I didn't make any reservation today. I walked into the restaurant at around 1.30PM and sat at this open area. I know that they have private rooms but you might have to call and book the rooms.

Set Lunch Menu

We were given two menus - A la Carte menu & the Set Lunch menu (above pic). My bf & i decided to get set lunches.

So we had to choose two sets right? We knew that one of the 2 sets would definitely be the Fat Foa-Gura Don! But we wanted to try something else besides the F.F.G.D (lol) so we ordered The Fat Cow Donburi as it caught our eyes. :)


Jap salad, miso soup, chawanmushi
(Included in the set lunch)

The Jap salad was yummy. Actually all Jap salads are yummy! I haven't eaten a gross Jap salad before, lol. It's the salad dressing la! I always love the peanut dressing that they use for salads. This salad, however, had a different dressing. I'm quite sure they used miso as one of the ingredients.

The chawanmushi was really not bad. It was not salty at all but had a strong flavor - Fresh prawns. I could tell it was made with only fresh ingredients. I would like it a lot more if it's a teeny bit saltier.

And the miso soup! Same thing, it was made with quality ingredients & not the cheapskate method - MSG & packeted seasonings, but, i would like it more if it's a teeny bit saltier, hahaha!

For health conscious people (and peeps who prefer less salty stuff), i think you guys'll love the miso soup & chawanmushi!

Chef at work!

It was fun watching the chef grill our wagyu beef right in front of our eyes!

And now... 

The mains!!!

You see, you see!!!

The Fat Cow Donburi
$38 for set lunch (price before GST & service charge)

Above: Charcoal-grilled wagyu beef with onsen egg & shiro negi!

I thought it was not bad but not as good as the one at the bottom!!! 

The wagyu beef was grilled nicely (we ordered medium). I loved how every slice of wagyu had the charcoal-grilled scent and that the beef was slightly crispy on the outside but tender on the inside. I would very much prefer my wagyu to not be sliced so thinly, though. I like my meat to have some texture when i bite into it :)

The onsen egg was cooked perfectly but the egg yolk (when burst and stirred into my rice) kinda took some flavor away from the meat? Jon & i agreed on this. We would like to taste more wagyu and less egg yolk. Afterall, we were there for the wagyu. 

Overall, the dish would have tasted better if there were more flavor. I rate it 6 out of 10 stars.

FAT FOA-GURA DON
$42 for set lunch (price before GST & service charge)

Above: Glazed Foie gras and grilled wagyu beef over rice!

Mannnnnn!!! This was the bomb-diggity!!!

Jon & i took our first bite and we were in awe. So. damn. good! A must-order if you enjoy foie gras & beef. It's so tasty & the foie gras just melts in your mouth!

I rate it 9 out of 10 stars!!!

Chocolate ice cream
(included in set lunch as well)

I found the chocolate ice cream just okay. It has a nice chocolatey taste to it and i also enjoyed biting tiny bits of i-don't-know-what in the ice cream (i suspect it's atapchi) BUT it was tooooo sweet!!! So sweet i had trouble finishing it. (The bf liked it tho, :X)

I rate it 4 out of 10 stars.


P/s: Jon mentioned that the portion (for the don) is pretty small!

* * * * *

Overall, i enjoyed my dining experience at Fat Cow. The next time i visit the restaurant, i probably would just order from the a la carte menu. I don't know if i'm able to order a bowl of Fat Foa-Gura Don by itself but if i could, i would!

Our total bill added up to $104, which was pricey for a normal meal. Our hot green tea cost $4 per cup (before GST & service charge) and it was non-refillable. I thought that was quite absurd. We only realized after we paid, haha!

Super Moon 2013

I'm so blessed to be able to catch the super moon at exactly 7.32pm just now. It's the largest at that time.

The moon was mind-blowingly gorgeous beyond words. If i could describe it with my limited vocab, i'd tell you that... It looked like a gigantic egg yolk on fire. Blazing fiercely but graceful at the same time. It was a magnificent sight, so calming & peaceful to watch.

I swear my heart skipped a beat and time paused for a good few seconds.

I was a lil disappointed that i forgot to bring along my tripod. But i'm still very thankful to have witnessed that super moment with my bare eyes. And the company... Thank you, Murphy & baby, for accompanying me tonight.

Tonight, i'm feeling extremely grateful & thankful. Our God has made things so perfect & beautiful for us to enjoy. ;*)

Could have been a better picture,
but i'm happy to have gotten a shot to remember that moment...
forever.


And tonight, my passion for 
photography burns once more.

Taste Paradise (Dim Sum)

Hey guys!

How're ya doin man? The haze is damn bad, pls mask up, drink lots water and try stay indoors as much as possible!

I wanted to blog after my photoshoot but sigh, becos of the haze, i had to postpone an outdoor shoot. :(

So since i'm free today, heh, i'm here to talk about food!!! YAY!!! Every true blue's Singaporean's love.

Here's one of my fav dim sum places in Sg! Nice ambience, good food and pretty affordable - Taste Paradise at Ion Orchard!

Some of the dishes that we had.
Collated them to post on my... Instagram.
EH DON'T JUDGE! LOL.

I will talk about those in the pic first, then talk about the other dishes we had (that i didn't snapped)!

1st and foremost, Taste Paradise is well known for their custard bun (bottom row, extreme right pic) and XO carrot cake (top row, middle pic).

Managed to try both and i have to say that the XO carrot cake's SO YUMMY (must order!) while the custard bun is not bad - Not the bestest thing ever but it's... not bad lor! Can-order-material, lol.

Top row: Roasted pork belly (left pic) was ok only, don't bother ordering. Siew mais (right pic) were fresh, i liked them. Personally to me, siew mais can be simple and subtle in taste but the ingredients used must be fresh - Served hot, not dry, no fishy smell, good crunchy/bouncy texture (Y)

Middle row: Foie gras Xiao Long Baos (left pic) were okay only. I'd tell you not to bother ordering. Original XBLs (middle pic) were nicer than the foie gras version. Fried fish skin (right pic) was yumz! I ate the fried fish skin like... they were chips while the bf added them into his porridge! He said it was sucha great combi.

Bottom row: Mini egg tarts (left pic) were yummy!!! Order! Chee Cheong Fun (rice rolls) with BBQ Pork (middle pic) was not the best but still, not bad.

Other than the above mentioned, we also ordered...

Century egg porridge (1 bowl is enough for 2 pax to share), chee cheong fun with scallop, luo mai kai (rice w/ chicken, wrapped with lotus leaf), har gao - These were all yummy, order!!

Oh & some funny prawn rolls that our friend ordered, not yummy so don't bother!

We ordered really quite a lot... 3 boys + 1 girl were filled to the brim and each of us only had to pay less than $35 (refillable hot tea price is already included). Consider the nice ambience (posh lookin settings) and good quality dim sum, i'd recommend this place to my friends who crave yummy dim sum! :)

Dim sum is usually served till 3/4pm (refer to timings below). Do call and make a reservation before heading down!
