If you want to spoil yourself with really good steak, you should head down to House of Wagyu and order its Saga Wagyu steak. It’s the first restaurant in the city to offer this incredible type of beef. 

Listen: Saga Wagyu is beef that comes from Japanese black cattle. It is much like Kobe and Matsuzaka, as opposed to other species of Wagyu like Japanese brown, shorthorn and hornless.

This particular breed is pampered to produce its fine taste. They are cared for in small cattle farms, fed with high quality rice straw — which is what gives the beef incredible marbling that white, fat color, by the way — and an originally blend of grains. During winter, the calf is sometimes made to wear handmade calf jackets.

All that care and attention duly pay off as the delicious beef allows the consumers to enjoy its natural umami, delicate texture, sweet aroma and incomparably delicious meaty flavor.

It’s a great thing then that the House of Wagyu, which opened its newest branch at the Prism Plaza along the Harbour Drive of the Mall of Asia Complex, carries this kind of premium beef. We now get to try that memorable prime steak experience over a stone grill.

A slab of lava stone that’s been heated in a specially designed oven at 400-450 degrees Celsius for six to eight hours comes to your table, with your A5 Wagyu from Saga prefecture in Japan plus a choice of sides. You then slice, season and sear away to one unforgettable meal.

For these kind of things, you really don’t need to look for an excuse or reason to spoil yourself. Just indulge.
