Watami never fails me as a quality casual Japanese restaurant - and i like to bring foreign friends here for a casual meal. As we were not feeling too hungry, we didnt order the set meals but the value for money dishes left us satsified!I ordered a dish called the Beancurd roll with avocado and prawns. I really loved it because I love beanskin and the dish was very fresh and not too heavy, good for starters! In fact, it reminded me of the viet fresh spring rolls. However, there fillings were no
I ordered a dish called the Beancurd roll with avocado and prawns. I really loved it because I love beanskin and the dish was very fresh and not too heavy, good for starters! In fact, it reminded me of the viet fresh spring rolls. However, there fillings were not very generous as I felt like i only tasted a small piece of avocado in one of the portions and the rest were mostly just greens.
I also liked their Katsu Rice Set which came with a choice of chicken katsu served with rice. The katsu portion was huge and very crispy on the outside. A portable stove is brought to the table and a raw egg is supplied so that you can add this to the pan when it is sizzling hot so one gets a scrambled egg gravy drenching the sliced katsu. I did find the sauce abit salty though, but eating it with the rice makes it less so. My friend ordered the Watami Tonkotsu ramen. I tried a spoonful of it, and needless to say, cannot compare with the other ramen places which specialises in Tonkotsu. The broth tasted quite watery and lacking the porky taste. The noodles were overcooked and the eggs were fully boiled (no runny yolks). I wouldnt recommend this dish if you really like ramen as I think you can get something better elsehwhere at the same price.
Lastly, we also had the hot stone bibimbap. This dish was not bad, given that its a japanese restaurant. I like the fact that it is cooked on the hot stone, and you can really smell the fragrance of the rice cooking. Other than that, I think this is quite a fullproof dish as long as you have enough of the pepper sauce in it!
Well, generally I think I will always recommend watami for a budget friendly meal with good quality food.
