It is wagyu haven at Wakuwaku Yakiniku, Singapore’s first halal yakiniku restaurant. Nestled along Bali Lane right at the edge of Kampong Glam, this restaurant is easy to miss but if you listen for that sexy sizzling of meats and follow the smoky, savoury scent, you may just find yourself face to face with their array of charcoal grilled premium wagyu cuts.
Wakuwaku Yakiniku is brought to you by the same good people who set up FatPapa and at the helm in the kitchen is Japanese chef Tokiwa Hajime. The Japanese A5 wagyu (they’re halal!) cut is ichly umami, marbled and decadent a definite not-to-be-missed. Wakuwaku Yakiniku also has a seafood selection that includes oysters, tiger prawns, scallops and shishamo to cater to non-red meat eaters. Sharifah Yusoff
