Waraku @ The Central

I can never get enough of Waraku for some reason...neither can the pals. Always at the top of the mind when it comes to affordable yet fulfilling Japanese food. Once again, I avoided ordering the usual Niku Curry.

Ebiten Maki, $9.80

A must order every single visit. Crunchy tempura sushi. Can't quite put to words the addiction to this dish but arguably the best sushi dish they've got to offer. The tempura's nary over fried nor dripping with oil. Fried to the right crunch. Till now I've not quite figured out why they'd need separate sauces for sushi and sashimi given a slight hint of sweetness in the sushi soya sauce.

Kaminabe Wazen, $19.80


I pinched the tempura from the set. Still as deliciously crunchy.

Chawanmushi, $4.80

Not a fan of chawanmushi...

Renkon Chips, $4.80

According to T whose a great fan...the one at Central's a disappointment. I found it very oily..and certainly not very crunchy. Nothing to shout about.

Tompei Yaki, $6.80

Uber uber addictive! The slivers of pork belly with teriyaki sauce and mayonnaise runny egg omelette's such a fabulous combination. The raw thinly chopped cabbage gives this dish an added punch. Lovely.

Hotate Mayonnaise, $8.80

This dish screams sinful all the way with mayonnaise, cream gravy, mushrooms, onions, cheese and of course fat juicy scallops. Well worth the sin I say!

Raspberry Ice Cake, $6.80

The previous experience with Maccha ice cake wasn't very pleasant. Raspberry ice cake's just vanilla ice-cream with frozen raspberries and raspberry sauce.

White Truffle, $8

I've been wanting to try this for the longest time. Looks like a candied apple with all the coconut shavings and peanuts covering it. Beneath the coconuty-peanuty surface is an apple-shaped vanilla ice-cream, munch somemore you'd get Ferrero Raphello as the core. Ferrero Raphello's is the coconut-white chocolate version of the Ferrero Roche. The dessert's served rock hard though, eating through it was quite a noisy affair with dissonant sounds created by the clanging and banging of cutlery. Despite the very interesting layers...not sold on this.

Peach, $8

It's the better tasting one of the two! The candied peach chocolate shell reveals peach ice-cream and Ferrero Roche chocolate as the core. Still, the ice-cream is just normal.

Service at The Central's as good as the other outlets. They seemed hectic at most times, the only grouse is..the comfy and cosy corner we were given seats was next to the designated area for dirty plates and glasses. :(

Overall, I enjoyed the meal muchly...Waraku's not only good for curry udon but also sides!
