Icon XB Wagyu

Today I came across this ICON XB Wagyu patty on grab mart app selling for only RM9, so I decided to buy one to try it out.

The company statement for this patty:

ICON XB Wagyu is built on the famous Tajima bloodline of the Kuroge Washu breed and is founded on a full-blood Wagyu herd in Tasmania, Australia. ICON XB Wagyu draws on some of the oldest and most renowned Japanese Wagyu genetics, and it shares the genetic predisposition for exceptional marbling, texture, and taste for which Japanese Wagyu is world-famous.

ICON XB Wagyu is the result of extensive genetic, breeding & production research – created by crossing full blood (100%) Wagyu bull over an Angus cow. ICON XB cattle are raised and long-fed over a period of 24 to 36 months in open pastures with access to premium feed rations. When the cattle finally enter the feedlot, much of the hard work in ensuring a premium end-product has been done. The cattle then enjoy a specifically and scientifically tailored feed ration for 12 months.

All cattle are raised with the highest animal welfare standards with minimal animal handling and stress-free production to ensure the best care for the cattle. ICON XB Wagyu consistently displays superior qualities in texture, tenderness, taste and high marbling scores – a “melt-in-your-mouth” experience.

To enjoy my patty, I have it along with potatoes and broccoli. First, I boil my broccoli. Once that is done, I pan fry the patty. Normally wagyu patty contains a lot of fat and a lot will come out when cooking it. Once it comes out, I use the melted fat to pan-fry the sliced potato. I remove the patty and pour a bit of water to speed up the potato softening process. Once done, I put the potato into the bowl first then broccoli with the wagyu patty on it.

The patty tastes like a higher grade beef patty, but feel less soft than the other brand of wagyu patty. Not sure is it because I overcooked it.
