Watami Japanese Casual Restaurant @Pavilion

-
Another famous restaurant from Singapore has making their mark at Klang Valley. This time is a Japanese Casual Restaurant which is known as Watami. This restaurant has replaced Sakae Sushi which has been closed down.
Japanese Casual restaurant means they are inserting a western style cuisine into a Japanese cuisine. So it is not an authentic and pure Japanese restaurant.
Dashimaki Mentai @RM15.90++
Outlook: 4/5
Creativity: 5/5
Taste: 3/5
Price: 1/5
Overall: 3/5 - It is a rolled omelette which is dressed with mayo and served in a hot plate. Very interesting dish but after the third bite, I feel quite queasy because of the tasteless egg which highly depends on the mayo for the taste. The most ridiculous thing is this egg cost RM15.90.

Salmon Zukushi @RM32.90++

Taste: 4/5

Overall: 3/5 - Their rigid sashimi moriawase menu forced me to settle with just salmon combination only. Their salmon is delicious but it is just a little too expensive.

Zaru Soba @RM12.90++

Taste: 4/5
Price: 4/5
Overall: 4/5 - This is a very interesting way to serve a chicken fillet. Rice at the bottom and mixed with the delicious chicken and egg. This dish becomes the best among all.

Jikasei Pudding @RM7.90++
Outlook: 4/5
Creativity: 4/5
Taste: 5/5
Price: 3/5
Overall: 4/5 - This is a must order dessert. Luckily, I still order it even though I was very full after all the meals above. The tenderness, sweetness and the way it slowly melts in your mouth is very well adjusted to pleasure my taste bud. Excellent!

Overall: 4/5 - If you come to this restaurant but you did not order their signature lala, I really do not know why you are here in the first place. It was one of the best lala that I have tasted so far. The lala was so fat, fresh and succulent with rich of flavor from the soup. The soup is full of ginger taste which is spicy but yet satisfying.

Price: 2/5
Overall: 4/5 - It contains of cashew meringue, Mascarpone cream, honey balsamic cream served with white chocolate dipped vanilla Magnum topped with freeze dried raspberries and fresh strawberries. My suggestion is to mix them all together including the ice cream itself otherwise by eating the ice cream alone will be too sweet. Once you mixed them all together, the magic comes. The sensational taste of creamy, crunchy, a little sourish kick and sweetness combining all together to create a wonderful ice cream dessert. Definitely is a must order dessert when you are there.

Overall: 3/5 - Ayam Pongteh at Nyonya Makko was so horrible until the extend I am so afraid to order this signature dish of a Peranakan food. However, I gave another shot for this dish at Nancy's Kitchen, absolutely not regret for doing so when they managed to make me love this dish again. It is not too salty and still maintain the fragrant of the gravy which is infused into the soften meat. It is once again a must order dish whenever you visit a Peranakan food restaurant.

Warakuya Japanese Garden, Mount Austin

Outlook: 5/5 Creativity: 5/5 Taste: 5/5 Price: 4/5 Overall: 4/5 - The moment I put the whole piece into my mouth, the sweetness of the mango already started to pamper my tongue. Once the biting started, the sweet taste is getting stronger and the fish roe is started popping like fireworks in my mouth. I really do not wish to swallow them early but it is just too addictive not to do so. This is one of the best sushi that I had in my life. Highly recommended.
Outlook: 4/5 Creativity: 4/5 Taste: 4/5 Price: 4/5 Overall: 4/5 - Cheesy fish roe with crunchy prawn is really a creative combination. For your information, the wasabi served in this restaurant is not a cheaper type which you are having in Sushi Zanmai. They are serving a premium type which you just need a little bit of wasabi to enjoy the maximum taste of it. I only get to taste this kind of wasabi in a Japanese restaurant in a 5 stars hotel.

Overall: 2/5 - No matter how salty Marinara is, it just cannot beat the saltiness in this Squid Ink Pasta. The very first bite was already too salty until to the extend it numbed my whole tongue. I am not exaggerating. As if they accidentally put the salt 10 times in it. It was a really horrible pasta.

Welcome Seafood Restaurant (Town Branch), Kota Kinabalu

Outlook: 4/5 Creativity: 4/5 Taste: 4/5 Price: 4/5 Overall: 4/5 - Buttered style is the highly recommended style for a crab. This is the wet version of butter crab. There are dry version which is not so tasty because the savory butter gravy is so scrumptious which you will definitely dip in the crab meat in it before entering your mouth. The fragrance is absolutely indefinable. However, I find it the butter crab at Penampang branch is better. Maybe because they got way too many patrons here. That is why the their standard is vary.
Outlook: 3/5 Creativity: 4/5 Taste: 5/5 Price: 4/5 Overall: 4/5 - It may not look appealing but once I took a bite of it, I no longer care how it looks, I just want to take the second piece even before I have not swallow the one that was still inside my mouth. That is how good it is. The sambal is spicy enough to entice your taste bud which makes you feel very appetizing. That's why I can go for more.
