Cooking My Own Meal at Watami Japanese Restaurant
The place where I work isn’t exactly the best place to have lunch. It does, however, have a decent hawker center where my colleagues and I usually go for lunch. There are a couple of coffee shops nearby but none of the them really can convince us to leave the “comfort” and not to mention the spaciousness of the hawker center. Doing this every single day of the work week isn’t really very nice, as a result, we gained the habit of going out for lunch every Friday.
This One Looks More Korean Than Japanese
A colleague of ours who is known for her bubbly nature, recommended us this Japanese place at the basement of Raffles City Shopping Center. Apparently, she was been to its other branches and she liked them a lot. As it turned out the place was Watami Japanese Restaurant. I have actually passed by this restaurant numerous times and it looked a bit expensive to me considering the interiors. However, they do have a lunch menu which caters to the more budget conscious.
Scallops and Mushrooms at Watami Japanese Restaurant
I normally order a dish which is pork cutlet in some sauce. It is served in a shallow pot on top of a portable stove. The goal is to cook the dish with a prepared egg. After almost burning my pork cutlet on several occasions, I think I have finally gotten it right. I prefer it to be a little wet so I needed to fiddle around with the stove just to get it right. Either way, I can’t blame the restaurant for this, it will be my fault if it sucked. They also have numerous other offerings and the nice interiors make it a great place to visit. The staff was also very helpful and courteous. They have several branches across Singapore, it may be worth dropping by.
