Fun Lunch

It’s another exciting lunch invitation by our boss Minowa-san today and this time, he wanted us to try out the newly opened restaurant at The Central.

It was a Japanese Restaurant we are about to visit and he told us in the car that they served mostly food of Nagoya which means… different style.

Wakashachiya was the name of the restaurant and it stated there ‘Curry Udon’. A simple Japanese-like setting with Japanese variety shows on a TV above you. Like many Japanese restaurants, you expect a lot of yelling of ‘IRASHAIMASEI’(welcome) once you enter.

Checked out the menu and as it was my virgin visit, I picked the normal dish ‘Eel Set’ as to play safe. Majority were Curry Udon and being so me, I am no UDON person. When my food came, the presentation was already a plus point. I enjoyed it thoroughly as it was rather special. Well, in a sense, it seems like normal eel rice set you get at any Japanese Restaurant but this… you were given a choice of how you can eat it differently. It’s really OIISHI!

You have to eat divide the rice into four portion to a side-bowl. 1st, you try it as it is, with no other compliments. 2nd, you scope into your side-bowl and then add wasabi, chives & shredded sea-weeds into your rice and eat it. 3rd, you scoped another portion into your side-bowl and this time, you pour the soup to the rice and add some wasabi if you desire. Lastly, you can eat it whichever you preferred. It was all fun and great food. The Eel Set was $18.00.

Minowa-san picked Curry Udon with chicken. It’s the usual Japanese curry you see but it tasted pretty good if you try it. It’s not as powderish as those in that Japanese Family Restaurant. It tasted good with the additional chili spices.

It was indeed an enjoyable and delicious lunch!
