Black Cow

As its name suggests, Black Cow is a Japanese restaurant in Singapore that specializes in dishes made from high-grade beef sourced from the famed black cattle of Japan. It claims to be the first restaurant in Singapore to introduce Kanto-style sukiyaki, a traditional method of cooking beef in Japan.

While the restaurant is well-known for its premium beef bowls, hot pot enthusiasts also flock to Black Cow for a gastronomic feast of shabu-shabu and sukiyaki.

HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Seasonal A5 wagyu beef for shabu shabu: At Black Cow, you can enjoy premium hot pot dishes made with A5 black cattle wagyu from Japan. Depending on the season, you can order shabu-shabu with A5 Matsusaka, Omi, or Hida beef.
  • Zuwai Kani crab shabu shabu set for carb lovers: Black Cow features Zuwai Kani, a snow crab highly prized for its sweet and delicate meat, in its shabu shabu section, offering crab lovers the chance to indulge in one of the best crab meals in the world.
  • Shabu-shabu comes in a complete meal: All shabu-shabu sets at Black Cow are served with salad, appetizers, seasonal vegetables, and dessert.

SHABU SHABU SETS & PRICES:

  • Seasonal A5 Wagyu Beef: S$158
  • A5 Hida-gyu beef: S$238
  • Zuwai Kani Crab: S$188

MORE FOODS: In addition to shabu shabu, Black Cow’s all-day dining menu features starters, specialty beef bowls, and sukiyaki sets.

DRINKS: Black Cow boasts of a wide selection of Japanese sake including Juyondai, the so-called king of sakes.

AMBIENCE: Black Cow exudes a typical Japanese modern minimalist feel with its predominantly black and brown interior. The marble-top tables, black tiles, textured walls, and wooden shelves add a classy touch to the laid-back and casual atmosphere. The restaurant also offers ample space for families and groups of friends.

Swee Guan Hokkien Mee Review

Swee Guan Hokkien Mee is the original stall of Geylang Lor 29 Fried Hokkien Mee which was started in 1968. The name was changed to avoid confusion and to differentiate it from Geylang Lor 29 at East Coast which is run by the owner’s brother. Over the years, loyal patrons have been flocking to this hokkien mee stall for its original recipe which has remained unchanged after more than 50 years in the business.

HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Traditional cooking method: Swee Guan Hokkien Mee uses the traditional cooking method of frying all the ingredients above charcoal fire. This is evident in the “wok hei”, hint of smoky flavor as you bite into the noodles.
  • Thick yellow noodles: Swee Guan Hokkien Mee uses more of the thick yellow noodles than the finer bee hoon noodles. This gives the dish a sticky texture as the noodles absorb most of the gravy.
  • Large prawns and squid slices: The hokkien mee is served with a generous helping of prawns and squid. The prawns are already peeled so it is more convenient for customers who don’t want to bother with peeling the prawns while eating.

NOTE: There is usually a moderately long queue here so be prepared to line up for your order.

PRICE: S$6, S$8, S$10, S$12 (depending on serving sizes)

OPENING HOURS: Thursday to Tuesday 17:00 – 22:00 (Closed on Wednesdays)

Ah Seng (Hai Nam) Coffee Review

Ah Seng (Hai Nam) Coffee takes pride as one of the local coffee stalls featured on the Michelin Guide. Only for that, this decades-old kopi-and-toast favorite is certainly worth checking out.

HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Old school kaya toast: Ah Seng (Hai Nam) Coffee is one of the few remaining coffee shops in Singapore that uses the traditional way of toasting bread on charcoal. This gives the toast enough crispiness and a hint of smoked flavor.
  • More than 50 years of history: Ah Seng (Hai Nam) Coffee was started by Ah Seng’s father at Lau Pa Sat in 1964. Ah Seng was his father’s little helper until he took over after ten years. The shop then relocated to Amoy Street Food Centre in 1997 and has been operating there ever since. Ah Seng still runs the stall with his wife and son.
  • Charcoal-toasted French Toast: This could be unusual for Westerners who are used to pan-toasted French Toast. Ah Seng (Hai Nam) Coffee’s French Toast is a simple recipe of bread dipped in egg, toasted over charcoal, and served with kaya and butter. Yum!

THE KAYA: Ah Seng (Hai Nam) Coffee’s serves homemade kaya that has an eggy, pandan fragrance. Loyal customers love it because it is not too sweet and not too greasy.

THE COFFEE: Ah Seng (Hai Nam) Coffee uses aromatic Robusta coffee beans that are ground in-house. Some might find the Hainanese coffee a little bit on the bitter side. If you want a milder coffee, try the Kopi C. which is the same coffee brew with added unsweetened condensed milk. The coffee is served in quirky brown coffee cups that are more than 30 years old!

PRICES:

  • Kaya toast: $1.60
  • French toast: $3
  • Kopi: $0.80

GETTING THERE:

  • Nearest MRT Station: Tanjong Pagar (EW15), Telok Ayer (DT18)
  • Bus: 57, 131, 167, 167e, 186, 400, 700, 970, 971E (Walk 4 minutes from bus stop 03151)
