Enough has been written about Syohachi Wagyu Hamburg (#01-01 One Raffles Place, 1 Raffles Place tel : +65 6223 0755) - the newly opened casual hamburg restaurant by Syohachi Yakiniku from Hong Kong, so I won't parrot. We came over early for breakfast to take advantage of the 50% discount over the weekend. While the queue to order was a little less than 10 minutes of wait time, waiting to collect took over 45 minutes.
I liked it as a sandwich. What pushed the right buttons for me were the generous buttering on the pan fried toast and the melted cheese (this was added on by the way). Those became pretty much most of the flavour in the toasties. The wagyu patties were fully cooked, very tender and had flavours drowned out by the other ingredients. I'm just saying that this wasn't the best use of the meat or configuration for a sandwich if the flavour of the beef were to be showcased. And of course, there's the overcooking......
