As it was nearing the end of the year, I had to clear the vouchers with expiry dates Dec 2013 (Do I hear gasps and running to check your vouchers collection?) On the list was Waraku Japanese Casual Dining, and why wouldn't I be excited - it's easily my favourite cuisine! Tempura Tonkatsu Ramen - $16.80++Ah, ramen. Waraku's tonkatsu ramen comes in a huge bowl, the size of a face basin. The gratification you get from just gorging at good ramen is awesome. While it is not the best, it can be cons
As it was nearing the end of the year, I had to clear the vouchers with expiry dates Dec 2013 (Do I hear gasps and running to check your vouchers collection?) On the list was Waraku Japanese Casual Dining, and why wouldn't I be excited - it's easily my favourite cuisine!
Tempura Tonkatsu Ramen - $16.80++Ah, ramen. Waraku's tonkatsu ramen comes in a huge bowl, the size of a face basin. The gratification you get from just gorging at good ramen is awesome. While it is not the best, it can be considered better than average as it is not too salty and the soup base is flavoursome, rich - simmered with pork. Ramen noodles remain springy and firm while thoroughly cooked, plenty in quantity. About the quantity that two girls can eat. Not as generous with the egg though, with only half of an egg floating in the huge bowl. The tempura was quite a failure to me, too much flour batter and too little real prawn substance - had to physically remove the bulk of the flour batter before eating. The oil that was used to fry the tempura tasted reused and stale.
Sukiyaki Udon - $18.80++The sukiyaki udon had a beef soup base which is not as thick but much more fragrant. Personally I would prefer this to the tonkatsu ramen as it is lighter on the palate. The udon noodles are very chewy and had bounce in each bite. Recommended dish if you are dining at Waraku!
Ichigo Milk - $6++I'm always proven wrong whenever I try to venture into the unknown, especially when it comes to drinks. Ichigo refers to strawberry, and I am guessing it might be just be me but I don't like this combination. At least, to their credit, the strawberry taste is from the real fruit rather than syrup (which will taste like cough medicine). Go for the others, like the Azuki Milk.
One of the best parts about this restaurant is that it's located on the exterior bend of The Central... which allows you to overlook the beautiful stretch of Clarke Quay from Waraku too!
