Magosaburo 燒肉孫三郎 (シンガポール) is a restaurant that specialises in serving Japanese beef, mostly Wagyu. They have just moved into their new outlet Magosaburo Ngee Ann City from their previous location at Ion Orchard. We had a good experience at their former place (read about our visit here) and decided to have lunch at their new Magosaburo Takashimaya outlet. While the focus on a Japanese dining experience where guests can enjoy their choice of beef has remained the same, we think we prefer the old Magosaburo.

The Wagyu BBQ Set ($26.80) is an item to order when we are on a diet. Very very thin slices of the precious wagyu beef were presented. We could grill it ourselves on the
Our last dish at Magosaburo Ngee Ann City was the most beautiful but the least enjoyable. The Chirashi Don Set ($26.80) scored highly on looks but low on taste and texture. We should stick to the beef dishes at Magosaburo.
