Located near the escalator lies a popular well-litted restaurant called 'Waraku'. Located at the same mall as 'Pasta de Waraku', Waraku focuses on a variety of Japanese cuisine instead of pasta alone. The view from the restaurant is really beautiful. You can chill out watching the boats on Singapore River. The tranquil setting is really relaxing.This is how the restaurant looks like (you can't view it when you're outside). I love the privacy we can get, away from passersby who may be curious to
Located near the escalator lies a popular well-litted restaurant called 'Waraku'. Located at the same mall as 'Pasta de Waraku', Waraku focuses on a variety of Japanese cuisine instead of pasta alone.
The view from the restaurant is really beautiful. You can chill out watching the boats on Singapore River. The tranquil setting is really relaxing.
This is how the restaurant looks like (you can't view it when you're outside). I love the privacy we can get, away from passersby who may be curious to know what we are eating.
Agedashi Tofu - SGD4.80For starter, it is a must-try to get Waraku's Agedashi Tofu. Soft on the inside and gooey on the outside, it has flakes on the top and I love the tofu soaked with the sauce.
Do eat it quickly because it becomes soggy after awhile.
Potato Mentai - SGD9.80This potato mental has a really oily sheen and strong buttery taste. Waraku is really generous with their cheese, making sure every bit of potato is covered with delicious sticky cheese! The cheesy blend is definitely worth the calories... just walk up and down the Singapore River to shed off the fats.
It's a portion large enough to be shared among two people!
We also ordered a bowl of Shoyu Ramen (SGD10.80).. it tasted great without any ingredients. There was a slight hint of soya bean, which isn't too surprising because most Japanese uses soya bean for their soup base. The ramen was really bouncy and I loved twirling it before chewing on the springy texture.
Katsu Curry Don - SGD10.80The Katsu Curry Don was too heavy for any person. I wasn't used to the ultra thick Japanese curry sauce, and the Katsu was quite a small portion. The japanese rice on the other hand, was fluffy and moist! Do mix it well if you want an even taste, because the rice at the bottom tasted quite plain without curry. The chicken was really fresh and had a slightly pink texture.
How's their service?
Apart from friendly staff, I would have to confess that it may be rather slow when the restaurant was very crowded with business people. DO be patient with them and try to go early if you want to avoid waiting.
Recommended Tips for OpenRicers
1. If you go in the afternoon, the staff would put down the blinds. If you are sitting at the window seat and desire to watch the view outside, just simply ask them so!
2. It is very difficult to ask them to refill your cup of green tea, so just forget about getting that because it tasted quite diluted.
3. Do order some starter to accompany your main. Waraku does sell really delicious starter and appetisers !
