Wadori is actually located on the same premise as Kuriya Japanese Fish Market, along with Ichiban Bento. It is located on the left side of the outlet under the Kuriya sign. Here, you can see a display counter with all the range of Yakitori (Japanese meat skewers) they offer, from Chicken Yakitori to Cuttlefish balls to Gyoza.I have tried a few of their skewers before including the Chicken Karaage, Japanese Sausage and a few others, but this time I got:

- Gyoza Dumplings ($1.60)
- Chicken Cheese Balls ($1.60)
- Chicken Tsukune ($1.40)
- Chicken Yakitori ($1.10) My favourites from Wadori are the Gyoza, Tsukune and Chicken Cheese Balls. The gyoza were crispy on the outside and soft and moist on the inside, while the chicken cheese balls were tender and did not overwhelm with the cheese. Their yakitori sauce was also very tasty but not too overly sweet. I adored having my tsukune with it! The prices are similar to Dango, another stall which also sells Japanese yakitori and is also located at the basement of Causeway Point. I've tried both and personally found that I preferred the tsukune and yakitori from Wadori and chicken karaage from Dango.

Wadori also has more variety of yakitori than Dango, and you can also make it a full meal by opting to eat your yakitori with Japanese rice. It's more value for your money to get the set, though I prefer to have my yakitori as it is.

Wadori
- More variety of yakitori
- Option to eat your yakitori skewers with Japanese rice
- Option to dine in

Dango
- Slightly sweeter sauce
- Has an additional range of onigiri
- Take away to eat on the go

The place tends to be pretty crowded during peak hours, since they are sharing the premise with Kuriya and Ichiban Bento, so I usually prefer going slightly earlier for lunch or dinner when there are lesser people. The place is clean and trays were cleared pretty fast when we went, but note that it can get a tad noisy during peak hours.

We were at the mall when we happened to see a Fish & Co banner that there was a birthday month promotion discount on top of a complimentary ice cream, and since it was the birthday month for one of us, we decided to have our lunch at Fish & Co.Spacious with a rustic chic decor that gives it a warm, inviting and cozy atmosphere, we find it ideal enough for us to sit back, relax and enjoy our simple lunch in relative quietness, especially since there was (surprisingly) not many people despite it being lunch time. But that meant that the staff were more attentive to us, which we didn't mind at all. We had a few clarifications about the birthday month promotion and the staff who attended to us was responsive and forthcoming with answers. Although it was quiet, we thought that the service from the bubbly staff kind of liven up the quiet place a little.There are several types of dishes available on their menu, from seafood platters to pasta to baked rice and pizza. But really, the name says it all, it’s all about the seafood here. What we find interesting are the various versions of fish and chips from around the world, such as the New York Fish & Chips ($16.95). We would have love to try several of it, but being undecided, we eventually opted to go for the Best Fish & Chips in Town. Can't really argue when it is named that way!Best Fish & Chips in Town ($15.95)
Fresh seafood in a pan! Apparently, the idea of presenting the dish in a pan is inspired from the practices of the fishermen in the Mediterranean Sea, who cooked and ate seafood off the pan while out at sea. The fried fish fillets are indeed quite fresh and the batter coating the fish is quite light and crispy. The fries are also quite crispy and we like that they were not over salted, though funnily enough, I actually kind of like these tasty "chips" more than the "fish" (but that’s just me speaking as a potato lover).Bread ($1.95)
It was listed as just "bread" on their menu but we asked and were informed that these are actually seasoned with herbs. Soft and chewy, these bread are light but tasty enough for us. The portion is also quite plentiful and value for money at only $1.95 for a lovely basket of it.Mashed Potato ($2.95)
The mashed potato may be a simple side dish elsewhere, but the version here really stands out! The super slick mashed potato is silky smooth and moist with just a slightly chewy edge to it, and the creamy sauce, though a tad too little for the entire mashed potato, complements the potato really well. This is a side dish worth getting!Chocolate Pecan Cluster ($6.95)
When you combine moist chocolate cake with layers of gooey caramel and chocolatey brownie cubes spread with a rich chocolate ganache and throw crunchy pecan chunks into the mix, you'll get a treat that is nothing less of sinful. Chewy, crunchy, sweet and rich, this dessert will make the perfect ending to the meal. Oh yes, it's "one bite and you’re hooked!" alright!Complimentary Ice Cream
We weren't sure what to expect of the complimentary ice cream and this turned out to be rather common. Just a single scoop of vanilla ice cream topped with a swirl of chocolate syrup and a cherry. The ice cream is quite creamy, but otherwise nothing really special about it.

At least there was a discount off our bill, which we appreciated although we find their usual prices to be otherwise pretty much typical of restaurants. The food is quite decent for the price as the seafood at Fish & Co is quite fresh. The sides are actually also quite worth getting, especially the mashed potato. But it's the desserts like the Chocolate Pecan Cluster, aptly called "Sweet Lures" at Fish & Co, that I certainly wouldn’t mind being baited with again! 

We heard so much about the Chococro here, so when we were in the area, we took the chance to check out the cafe when we passed by before lunch. Warmly decorated with classic wooden tables and chairs, the place seems cozy and inviting enough for us to chill out here. But we decided to come back later after completing our shopping instead. Bad mistake. By the time we came back at tea time, the place was crowded and fully seated and we had to wait around for quite some time for an empty seat, and then we had to join a long queue for our food.On the bright side, desserts lovers will love it here. There are quite a variety of beverages, breads and pastries, and desserts here, such as the chococros, parfaits, and ice cream! We were spoilt for choice as there were so many items that we wanted to try, but in the end, we just went with a few of their signature items instead. White Chococro ($2.60)​ & Chococro ($2.40)
Both Chococro are smaller than what is expected for the price, but they are quite a treat to have. The croissants are flaky and crispy with a rich buttery flavour and the chocolate filling for the original Chococro is quite rich and slightly bittersweet to taste. The White Chococro is slightly sweeter due to the icing powder which add a touch of sweetness ​to the croissant, but I personally prefer the original Chococro for the richer chocolate taste. Choco Banana Fuji ($7.30)
A perfect combination of soft serve ice cream on freshly baked butter danish pastry topped with smooth chocolate sauce! The soft serve ice cream is smooth, creamy and milky while the delicious butter danish pastry is very crispy on the outside but fluffy and buttery on the inside. This dessert is also topped with banana slices as well, which are a little too sweet for both of us, but otherwise we both find this Fuji pretty good!Matcha Latte ($6.00)
The Matcha Latte here is quite thick and creamy and I find the aroma and taste of fresh milk quite strong. It is just the right amount of sweetness for me though, with a tinge of bitterness and the distinct taste of matcha!

On the whole, we find the food here pretty good based on the few we had. The latte is fresh and aromatic while the chococro and fuji are sweet and delightful. I'd definitely love to return again to try the other desserts on their menu, like the parfaits.

Prices are quite standard for a cafe, but there is a further 10% e-coupon discount if you sign up as a member by going to a link scanned from a QR code at a sign near the counter. Service is quite decent and despite the queue, the staff remained friendly and helpful with our queries regarding the 10% sign-up discount. I only regretted that we didn't dine in earlier when we had the chance to, when the place is less hectic and the ambience more relaxing to chill out in.

If you are hungry after your shopping in Ikea, there is a snack shop just opposite the checkout counters, so that is really the first thing you see after paying for your goods and stepping out of the Ikea store. Popular items are the hotdogs and soft ice-cream, although they also sell other food like curry puff here.

It's a self-serve shop so you have to queue at the counter to pay and collect the items to "DIY" at the side. For hotdogs, you'll get a plain bun with a chicken hotdog without sauce and for ice creams, you'll get an empty ice cream cone and a token to activate the ice cream dispenser machine.The ice cream dispensers with How-To-DIY instruction signs above.Other than the ice cream dispenser, there are also two counters with chilli, mustard and tomato ketchup that you can choose to top your hotdog bun with, depending on your preferences.Hotdog (Mustard & Chilli) ($1.00)
For $1.00, this is really quite value for money. The bun is run-of-the-mill but the chicken hotdog is quite springy and delicious. The mustard sauce and chilli sauce are quite tasty and add a dash of sweetness, spiciness and zest to the hotdog bun. If you are won over by the sauces, they are actually also selling them in bottles at the Ikea Swedish Food Market next door!

 

Soft Ice-Cream ($0.50)
The ice cream is pretty smooth and creamy and the biscuit cone is quite crunchy. Taste-wise, I find this okay, not really the best I've tasted, but no complaints since this costs only $0.50.

Although the prices are already quite cheap for each item, there are still value set meals to give you even more value for your money! For example, it is only $2 if you get the set of hotdog, ice cream and a drink, which is also self-serve and refillable. Pretty worth getting!

These pretty little treats are actually cream puffs but they kind of remind me of cupcakes with all those pretty little toppings, while a few looked more like buns than cream puffs, but oh, looks can certainly be rather deceiving. Looking at all the pretty decorated cream puffs in the Chewy Junior's display counter, I can't help but to bring home some to try! Original Chewy ($1.50) - Plain on the Right without Toppings
The Original Chewy is indeed quite chewy and the inside is quite soft and fluffy. The cream filling is smooth and is not too sweet. There is a small "hole" at the side of the cream puff (all of their cream puffs in fact) where you can see a little cream oozing out and you are supposed to start eating the cream puff by biting from the "hole" first to prevent the cream from suddenly squirting out on first bite. Double Chocolate Crunch ($1.80)
The Double Chocolate Crunch is a regular cream puff on Chewy Junior's "Sweet" menu. For some reasons, the cream in this particular puff is quite lacking compared to the premium cream puff I got. No cream oozed out on first bite and the cream did not even fill up the whole inside of the puff. Despite looking all shiny and gooey, the chocolate layer covering the top is a tad thin and not as rich as the chocolate topping on the premium cream puff, although the chocolate balls help to add a bit of crunch.Premium Chocolate Almond Praline ($2.00)
The Premium Chocolate Almond Praline is a premium cream puff which also mean that it costs more than the rest of the regular cream puffs. The puff is just as chewy as the original and the cream filling inside is quite light and not very sweet as well, but the outer topping really shines. The sweetness of this cream puff mostly comes from the toppings. The chocolate frosting is very rich and chocolatey while the almond praline has a fair crunchiness to it. Eaten as a whole, the chocolate and praline coupled with cream filling can be quite gooey and I felt like a kid with smudges all over my mouth. Pure bliss in every bite!

The prices of the cream puffs are quite reasonable considering they come with toppings and additional flavours, many of which are quite innovative. Among the many I've spotted in their display counter are flavours like White Chocolate Oreo, Chocolate Fudge Caramel Milk and even Apple Cheese! I find it certainly worthwhile to pay slightly more for the premium flavours. According to their website, there are also supposed to be savoury flavours like Potato & Ham, but when I went to the branch at Tampines mall, I didn't see any savoury flavours around, which was kind of disappointing as I'd love to tried a few of those too.

Nevertheless, I'll certainly be back for more!
