A4 Japanese Wagyu: WOOF... Actually, MOO!!!
So a little out of the blue, I get a message from my great Chef mate Greg. Remember him from Siglap Khun Mookata days. He then went to CBP for Mikawa #2, the one we usually frequent in Siglap too. And now he has set up on his own.
He had some ‘spare’ Wagyu, just 3-4Kg slabs of Grade A4 Japanese GWagyu. “Did I want some?” said Greg. “I am on my way over now!” said I. This is how My mate Chef Greg, now @ Puri Puri Restaurant + Grade A4 Japanese Wagyu happened.
Greg is the MUCH smaller guy now – an amazing transformation from him… Be proud of that too buddy!!!
He created a new Japanese venture called Puri Puri. Japanese rice-bowl sets on steroids. Japanese Wagyu, Uni, Onsen eggs and much much more. A must-visit, and a personal commitment from me to do a proper blog for him.
We were already stuffed though as we had been to SimLim and acquired some new tech which was being set-up, so we had to lunch nearby. But we did pop in to see our mate afterwards and I wanted to share a few photos. Get your bum down to see Greg, mention the Kennett’s, maybe even ping him to eat and buy some Wagyu. Check this out…
Puri Puri Restaurant + Grade A4 Japanese Wagyu
See what I mean about the partnership with the lighting company. Therefore he gets amazing space for the restaurant and the lighting company gets a captive audience for their product (what a way to browse), but also an incredible showroom shared with Greg. Genius!!!
It really is a stunning space!
Now, this sign has moved with Greg from Siglap, Khun Mookata. This is September 2019… “I love you Wagyu cow you!!!”
This is in 2015 when proudly hung next to Khun Mookata in Siglap hawker, where Chef Greg was still using amazing quality Japanese Wagyu and Iberian pork. Best hawker food EVER!!!
A tiny little galley kitchen, but boy are these guys serving up some quality food. Yes, that is a jar of rendered beef fat to be used as cooking oil.
And, yes, the cook is flame-grilling a hunk of Wagyu and yes that is fat content is causing the flames. I could watch this all day.
I got her home finally. Not the best photo, but you get the drift, right? This is a HULKING 3KG of some of the best meat you can ever buy on the PLANET. This ladies and gentlemen is Grade A4 Japanese Wagyu. I love you!!!
I got SIX massive rib steaks from the 3KG, as in monster steaks. You’ll see evidence of that soon. But seriously just have a look at that. If that does not get you going as a foodie then nothing will. It is a thing of absolute beauty!!! Goodness me. FOODPORN!!!
We managed to get a wee selfie in with the great man. Thanks to my mate Greg for the message and the chance to chow down today on incredible meat. HAPPY days!!!
I froze 5 steaks and saved one for brekkie today. My version of steak and eggs. Sh!t yeah. How good is that? Stunning Wagyu steak, seared in salt & pepper. Scrambled eggs. And fried bread, fried in the rendered beef fat from the steak. BOOM!!! Lucky family… FOODPORN!!!
