Mashi No Mashi, Guoco Midtown

Mashi No Mashi, Guoco Midtown

Mashi No Mashi (#01-04 Guoco Midtown, 124 Beach Road) from Hong Kong has been springboarded into Singapore. They're a self professed ramen shop run by the Wagyu Mafia group from Tokyo.

Mashle

Every mention of their name and the colour theme of their restaurant reminded me of magic and muscles. You know it if you know it.

Mashi No Mashi, Guoco Midtown

There's ramen, rice and small plates which features wagyu - and a laid claim of being the first 100% wagyu ramen in the world featuring a broth of Kobe and Ozaki beef bone stock. 

Mashi No Mashi, sapporo black

There's Sapporo Black on tap.

Mashi No Mashi, ultra wagyu ramen

Their ultra wagyu ramen was nice. Broth was beefy and the noodles were Hakata styled thin with a good bite. Those thin slices of wagyu were smooth and readily dissolved in the mouth. This I could come back for.

Mashi No Mashi, wagyu bak kut teh

Not impressed by the wagyu bak kut teh. It came with the peppery herbal broth which most people would recognize as bak kut teh infused with a pleasant beefiness. Meat was tender but I couldn't tell it apart from another decent quality beef. It's sadly underwhelming.

Mashi No Mashi, wagyu gyoza

Would not have known this was their 100% Ozaki beef gyoza if not for the menu. Tasted like guo tie (锅贴). Albeit a well done one with nice toasty skin. Won't be getting these again.

Mashi No Mashi, wagyu siew mai

Couldn't really tell the wagyu siew mai was beef either. Also a little sweet. Remember my thoughts about sweet siew mai? That said, it was otherwise a nicely done siew mai with very moist and tender meat stuffings. However that's not gonna fly for me at $5 a pop. Also won't be getting these again.

Mashi No Mashi, wagyu jerky

There's wagyu jerky that's made in house. Nice and beefy with a sprinkle of pepper. Not gonna be getting these again also.

Mashi No Mashi, banana brulee

Tried their banana brulée.

Mashi No Mashi, banana brulee

Banana's not cooked through like say....goreng pisang. To be fair it was torched with sugar and not fried. Its warm though. What didn't work for me were sweet and bitter from caramelized crust which overwhelmed most of what could be tasted from the banana.
