I am not a fan of Japanese food, but I was given a chance to try it out at Watami at City Square Mall by Open Rice Food Tasting. Honestly, I wasn't expecting much, I was expecting myself to like the raw food at all. But the first bite on their salad and their salmon just changed my entire opinion on Japanese food, and one day, I'm definitely going back! I first ordered was the Mango Yakult. It was simply delicious and sweet. It tasted so natural! It was not diluted at all. The thickness was just
I first ordered was the Mango Yakult. It was simply delicious and sweet. It tasted so natural! It was not diluted at all. The thickness was just nice. With the mango slice at the top of the cup, it just looked very appealing for a mango lover.
Next, the Watami salad was served. There was a variety of greens with prawns and chicken. With the topping, a home made sauce, it had a sweet taste to it, which was a good combination with the variety of greens!
The Salmon and Avocado Sushi came next. It was simply delicious. I tried salmon before, and I didn't have a good impression of salmon because of its' fishy taste, however, the salmon on the sushi was really fresh and had no fishy taste, mixing the sushi with a bit of the soy sauce and wasabi with compliments of the avocado, its one sushi I will never forget and definitely go back to have more of it!
Next was the Hotpot, the soup was pork broth, it was not bad, just slightly salty to my liking. The main part of the hot pot was of course the fresh oysters who took the plane directly from Japan. The taste was simply amazing. The oysters were very fresh and very very juicy. Its something oyster lovers will have to try!
Its a pity I forgotten to take the photo of the salmon platter with came with two tiger prawns. It tasted not bad. I quite liked the salmon from there. Again, it was pretty fresh and had no fishy smell to it, which was a plus point to that whole platter. It time for the Wafu pizza! The looks of it was just okay, it was thin crust pizza with terriyaki chicken topped with mayonnaise sauce. Personally, I didn't really like it, there wasn't much chicken for the filling, and also the crust was really really thin. If it was slightly thicker, it would have been better. It was just something normal to me.
Last but not least, the Watami Tonkutsu Ramen came! The looks of it was really appetizing! Sadly, there were only two pieces of pork and an egg. Which to me, was really plain. The soup is again the pork broth, like I said above, I find it a bit too salty to my liking. But the noodle was nice, it was chewy!
Next is something everyone will be looking forward to after our meals! DESSERTS! We were given two desserts to eat! The chocolate parfait and the matcha ice cream! I personally prefer the matcha ice cream! The green tea ice cream was really good! The green tea taste was authentic. With compliments of the chewy rice balls and strawberries, simply irresistible. On the other hand, the chocolate parfait was just okay! The top was normal chocolate ice cream with the centre filled with cereals.
Overall, I would say the food was really good. It will be worth a second visit. I recommend this place for couples but no for a large group as the portion is not very big and yet pricey.
The service crew was efficient too, serving you with a smile, definitely put a smile to our face which helped us to enjoy the food too.
