Special Dinner night



Since i discovered Mondo butcher, life has never been the same. In case people in perth do not know. There is a premium butcher shop in Beaufort St, which sells premium meat from Angus beef, Wagyu Beef, Grain-fed chicken,etc. Its a fresh meat paradise, which is absolutely ideal for people who loves to try expensive food at reasonable price.

Many people i talked to told me that Wagyu beef is nothing special, but i think maybe they have been conned by the so called restaurant. Its important to find out what grade of meat are they serving. If you start eating Wagyu, you can tell a grade 1 and Grade 9 beef with beautiful marbling in the meat

I bought 2 different grade to give it a try, to see what is the main difference




Grade 5-6, Wagyu - as you can see the meat is redder and less marbling. The price is $90/KG. Its not bad but... below is the VIP Wagyu Grade 9




Grade 9 VIP - As you can see the marbling is absolutely fabulous. Apparently the fat is an Omega 3 fat like that of the salmon. The meat is alos tastier and more flavoursome. This one cost $175/KG

Wagyu Beef recipe - I tried using 3 sauce - One was the Japanese Mayo with Cayenne Pepper, Garlic and Light Soy with Wasabi and lastly the Chinese BBQ flavour sauce with Spring onion, hoinsin, oyster and also garlic.

Of all the 3, my fav is still the light soy with Wasabi. I reason it is an absolute waste to make a strong sauce. The aim to eat Wagyu is to sample the meat, so the lightewr the sauce the better.


My Benito Wild Mushroom Fried rice - Super simple to cook I used Sushi rice, 5 different mushroom, Truffle oil, Benito flavour spice, spring onion, onion, garlic, Corriander, salt, egg and pepper.




Simple steamed Veg.




Once the Wagyu is done my next dinner night will be Seafood night or Lamb. I would like the opportunity to sample some of the worlds best meat at wholesale price. I reason no point paying premium dollar at restaurant when you can cook at home
