Mmmm!

One Friday afternoon, Kathryn, Joel and I went to this meat wholesale factory somewhere in Jurong. My mother will usually go to this place with Kathryn and every time she comes back, she will have loads of stuff to stock up in the freezer. You know, there was a very strong smell of sesame oil when we came out of the place.
Q.B!? Not related to your $10 snip snip shop.


Best! Definitely.

The spread was big. There were many types of meat from various countries. They would even state the country where it came from. There were like cheese sausages, bratwursts, otah, clams and many others. What made me excited was their label on the packaging. It wrote,
Meats, Marinates & Much More!

We bought 1 Ribeye steak, 1 Angus Ribeye steak and 1 Wagyu Ribeye steak. We wanted to taste the difference between them. So off to Kat's house! She has a cast iron pan with ridges so we can create Burger King's beef patties! Awesome.

Meet Snoa Band. That's his name according to the tag.

I'm Bosch.

Cooking the beef was fun. We only seasoned it with pepper and salt. And then came the taste test. Comparing the three, the normal beef steak had the strongest beef taste. Made you feel like a REAL macho man eating that. Angus beef had this "I don't know how to describe" taste which masked the beef taste, and Wagyu beef had the same "I don't know how to describe" taste which masked the beef taste at a greater level.

To me, the difference in taste is not a big deal, but the texture and softness of the steak has to be done nicely. Tough beef is not very nice. We also made potato wedges and fresh greens. All in all, it was a great day!

*Did you know that it is not advisable to use soap to wash Cast Iron pans?
