Tsukimi Hamburg (Hougang Mall)

- Patty was super moist and succulent, so thick that we struggled squeezing into our mouths!
- Pickled onions and yuzu mustard, containing mustard seeds, were light yet refreshingly tangy in alternating bites, contrasting the natural beef flavour well.
- Loved the special 5-grain bun which was very soft and fragrant 🥯

- Fattier and juicier than the above with a slightly sweet undertone, carrying a more tender soft bite!
- Meaty flavour was less strong, @nomnombytnt preferred this while I preferred the former a little more.

The fiancee was excited this opened but I find it hard to like something so sparse. I just had to add foie gras. Granted, the patty was juicy and yummy lah.

Foie Gras Hamburg Steak Teishoku (S$20.80++)
Selected pork version for hamburg steak, topped with foie gras, served with demiglace sauce.
Accompanied with pickles, salad, tamago soup and rice.
Sadly the foie gras was overdone. The sauce was overpowering.

First Hougang Mall got upgraded with a swanky new foodcourt with beers on tap, and now it gets @njoy.singapore Tsukimi Hamburg as well. As the name suggests, they only serve hamburg steaks and hamburg steak related dishes. Unfortunately I missed the opening discount, but I did snag myself a Foie Gras Hamburg Steak Teishoku for $20.80++.⠀

A Teishoku is a set menu in many Japanese restaurants, and this Foie Gras Hamburg Steak set is built around a chunky hamburg steak topped with foie gras. All the food groups in the pyramid are represented here, with carbs from the rice, fibre from the VERY palatable pickles that have been enhanced by yuzu zest and the side salad, and miso tamago soup which…well, fits into a few groups.⠀
⠀
Tsukimi’s hamburg steak blends Angus beef, Miyazaki Wagyu beef and pork together for a meaty, fatty patty. The wagyu definitely makes its presence felt, with quite possibly the fattiest patty ever. The texture is definitely more juicy & rich than any other hamburg steak out there, but it isn’t strongly flavoured on its own. This is to let the unbelievably umami demi glacé steal the show and dazzle your tastebuds. The reduced beef sauce is salty, rich and imparts fantastic flavours to the hamburg steak & foie gras.⠀
⠀
Speaking of the foie gras, I was dismayed to find that it came in chopped up tiny strips instead of the whole slab that was pictured in the menu. Going by looks alone, I knew that it was overcooked, and I was sadly proven right. I really should’ve ordered the Bacon Hamburg Steak instead, but I’m a sucker for foie gras, and I got suckered.⠀
⠀
Overcooked & mangled foie gras aside, Tsukimi’s hamburg steak teishokus are a hearty, healthy(ish) meal that’ll get you lots of gains without breaking the bank.

We're so excited Tsukimi Hamburg opened an outlet in the East, giving us an opportunity to finally try it! Their signature Tsukimi Hamburg Don is a very comforting bowl with rice🍚, Hamburg steak, radish, topped with creamy egg yolk🍳. Their Hamburg steak is a mix of US beef, pork and Miyazaki Wagyu beef. We loved that it's thick and juicy, but felt that it has more pork than beef taste🥩. The donburi also came with house-made sauce that tastes like Kombu and bonito. However, we felt that the taste of the sauce was a bit too mild and preferred the brown sauce that comes with other Hamburg steaks usually😅. They have other interesting types of donburis and set meals revolving around Hamburg steak, we'll probably try those the next time😄!
