Friday night is late night shopping night in Perth CBD. Since I've settled in, I find myself going through the shops on Murray and Hay Street after work on Fridays. One of my favorite places to browse is the Foodhall in David Jones.
It's located at the end of the ground floor and features a cafe, wine shop, food stations and interesting products on shelf. They carry gourmet and artisan products, and imports from the US (such as Ghirardeli chocolates) and UK (Harrods food products). They also have a meat section where you can get premium cuts of beef and pork and free-range chicken.
My first discovery is their Wagyu Bacon. I found it unusual and to be honest, if it's any indication of how a nice cut of wagyu beef would taste, I want it. It's essentially thin strips of marbled beef and the butcher was nice enough to let me try a sample. You can consume it as is but better when it's warmed on a medium hot skillet for less than a minute each side.
I had it for breakfast the next day and loved it. The meat tasted smoky and flavorful but not overly salty. It's versatile as well. I had it for dinner with brown rice and tomatoes and enjoyed it as well. I can imagine using it for a salad or sandwich filling.
I got mine at A$11 and the pack had around 30 strips in it. I take 5 pieces as a serving. I think it's pretty good for something you can easily divide and keep for those days you need a nice beefy addition to a bland meal.
If you're wondering, I haven't tasted an actual Wagyu beef steak yet-- but it's on my list. :)
