Gyu Kaku - Japanese beef in Singapore

Turning one year older, I decided to treat myself to good quality Japanese beef. I bugged the bf to bring me down to Gyu Kaku as I had heard lots of raves about the standard of their beef. I knew we could not be stingy on good quality beef and so I told the bf to be open to try anything, even if it wld hurt our wallets (just for my special night, I deserve the best right :P). 

Well, if your still going to pay $10 for a plate of beef, I think you're better off at any other steak restaurant. Hence we took a gamble and went by the recommendations of our friendly waiter. He gave such impeccable service that we actually bothered to fill up the survey form to commend on his service!

Now here's introducing our plates of food before they were brought to the grill. 
(Yes, you need to cook the food yourself!)
Our 300g of Ito-wagyu beef which cost $128++ per plate
The 600g plate costs $248++ per plate
We ate this slab of meat as our mains

Our 2nd slab of mains was the Wagyu Nakaochi
This cost $20.90 for a small plate.

Our third plate was the prime Wagyu Karubi (Wagyu Oyseter Blade)
It cost us $25.90++ for the small plate. 

I must say after all the cooking, the beef we chose literally melted in our mouths with its flavour and juiciness. 

Of course, apart from the mains, we also had appetizers and drinks to pair the beef with.
 Our bacon and sausage appetizer. 
Freshly brewed Asahi beer from the tap which went really well with the beef!

This restaurant does not sting on quality and that even extends to the beer. I have drank numerous Asahi beers from the can and nothing tasted as good as this one which came from the tap. 

In conclusion...
If you're game to pay for high quality beef and to cook it yourself, Gyu Kaku is an option to try.
They have a few outlets and the one I tried was at UE Square.
We managed to get our own "booth" which added to privacy and made my birthday celebration even more special and memorable.
