Watami Japanese Casual Restaurant @ 1-Utama

No Comments

Many of us know that 1-Utama is going thru major renovation especially on the old wing. From there, it had attracted many new retailing outlets to be operating in there and now if we go again, you get to see new F&B shops too. One of the newly operated outlet in the mall is this catchy shop that the front is painted red which is very eye catchy in the mall is this Watami Japanese Casual Restaurant as this lot used to be operate by Italianese which I rate one of the best in food among their other outlet.

[Update Jan 2014: NO Longer in operation]

Watami (8)

If you dine in a group, you can opt to choose on their value saving package group set ranging from 2-4 pax set. As this round we are in a group of 4, we decided to go for the set that is charge at RM200+ with the actual value of RM282 ++ that give you lots of food to be place on the table.

Teriyaki Chicken Salad

Watami (14)

I always love Japanese Salad because of their special dressing that pairs it very well. For ladies that decided to go for salad, this is one of a good choice!

Watami (15)

Wafu Pizza – pizza topped with terriyaki chicken that specially made in super thin slice which I called it Japanese Style, crispy on the edge of the pizza with the sauce that makes the pizza disappear within minutes after it was served.

Watami (16)

followed by an egg was serve along with . . .

Watami (17)

Udon that we get to choose in a types of 3 ..

Watami (18)

to pair along with our hotpot Shio Chanko Nabe, that is being offer in the set.

Watami (19)

First few sips of the soup taste great and addictive as it head towards the end of the base it gets more salty.

Watami (20)

One of my favorite for the night is Wafu Hitokuchi Steak, that is cook medium well, just nice to chew and dip along with the sauce to make it extra kick, yet I still prefer mine to be eaten without the sauce. . 😀

Watami (21)

Tokyo GyudonTokyo Gyudon is beef rice bowl with hot spring egg in Tokyo style. Fine slices of beef being cook along that top with half boil egg Japanese style. 

Watami (22)

At the end of the meal, the sets came with 4 ice cream and again we decided to order all flavour and share among us. Vanilla ice cream, black sesame ice cream, matcha ice cream, chocolate ice cream, one of the stand out ones are Chocolate and black sesame.

Well, Watami certainly offer a nice dining experience especially with their good attentive customer service that they have train for their staff.

This is their current promotion, a steam boat buffet spread offering at RM 32.80 ++ that we paid about RM43 to be nett and certainly worth every penny, although we had not become a big eater but we are satisfied with the price paid and the offerings in the buffet spread!

Certainly its a recommended buffet by me and while promo ends ( I have no idea when it ends, so just eat it while its still on promo). We are planning to go again. Who wants to join?

Just be there early, to enjoy the full spread of the buffet menu~

Wanya Japanese Restaurant@ Central Hong Kong

No Comments
After long hard day of walking around which I am looking foward for this dinner since from the very begining of day 1. As i have been told by my friend this buffet is very nice and fresh. Famous for its sashimi and the most signature is the beef. Located in a walking distance of Central station which is located under a basement. We book a certain section of it as we flock with 40 ppl in there. 😀
This buffet cost HKD350 per pax. Which worth every penny to spend on it.


The interior is deco with Japanese style. The sliding doors, the private area and some VIP room.

The best part deal of the dinner is we were given a free flow of cold and hot sakae compliment by my friend. Not Restaurant.
When we were seated down and I busily look through at the buffet menu, then we were served with a Abalone each. A jump of excitement and I thought I can order as many as I can. After I swallow the whole thing down and my friend asked me…y so fast..must slowly enjoy ma..Cuz all of us were given 1 a complimentary by Steven… I directly DOWN…I thought eat all I can…
First plate of sashimi that were pre order by my friend. The sashimi look sooo good then when I see it I were like swallowing my sliver.
This is the ‘Salmon, Tuna, Sweet shrimp, Scallop and Sword Fish’ is soooo fresh. I have never eaten this kind of freshness since when I was in Melbourne.
This plate is filled with ‘Salmon, Amberjack, Sword Fish, Scallop’. The scallop is so fresh that we ordered more than 5 plates.
‘Horae Mackerel Tataki and Sweet Shrimp’ which you cant have anough of it. We were just walaping the sashimi like nobody’s business. Enjoying every piece that entered into our mouth.
Next we move to goreng goreng stuff…‘Fried Toufu’ which fried with certain nice aroma contain in it and its very soft from the inside. Dip it with the sweet sauce given, gives you the best taste.
‘Grilled Eel’ Well marinated and well cook by the chef which still preserve the softness of the fish and the skin just melts on your tongue.
‘Teriyaki Squid’ Grill well from the inside out, never too over grill and its very chewy, just as what as we expected.
Cant really remember what is this called but it was cut to a very thin slices of beef and grill it to 50% cook and you can still see the juicyness and the softness of a meat suppose to be. Was stuff with a asparagus. One plate is not enough.
‘Grilled Cod Fish’ is well marinated with the Japanese sauce and grilled to perfection. Can still make its slices and softness of the cod fish still maintain.
I just cannot describe how good is this plate. The prawn’s freshness which taken to grill and the scallop was perfectly grill.
‘Fresh Baked Oyster’. I walap this whole plate bymyself. The combo of the cheeze which was served with fresh oyster, just cant have enough of it.

This I do not know what is it called as it was ordered by my friend, taste weird at first but you would want more after that. Something which you cant find in our Malaysian japanese restaurant.
‘Shark Fin Handroll’. Something worth to try on.
‘Grill Beef’ adding on with the slices of fried garlic that soak into the meat and eating along with it, with half done cooking makes you drool for more.
This is a chicken leg knee part which is fried to golden brown and I do not really know how to enjoy this but the rest of my friend were happily eating it. Feels that you are like bitting their nerves.
Cant remember what is this called also but with the sweet japanese sauce that add in, makes the whole stick lickable.
This fish is well grill and filled with alot of fish roe inside its stomach.
‘Gyoza’ which is very well fried and crispy on the main layer of skin and inside filled with meat. Wont too fancy eat as I have eaten better one.
After eating lots of raw and goreny goreng.. so we move to steam boat. My talbe order the ‘clear soup’ base.
We were told to hantam on the beef and lamb slices. So we ordered alot.
With added on seafood dish to pour into it to make the soup taste even better.
Busy preparing the pot.
This is what it have become after hantam all in.
After eating too much, we need to take a break in between to let it digest. So let the camwhore session begins.
As agai, Gay Keong(on right) in action again, and Ivan got drugged and waiting to be brought back home… They are not gay but the gayiest pic ever taken.
Post with Karlina, don really know what is she trying to do.

With this Auntie Angie…just like to disturb her. Don know why. But seriously, she is a heavy drinker. I salute her. Drinks alot of hot and cold sake already still no problem.
This si lang Pat as always like to kacau me. It is very wrong to seat us together because we talk like cat and dog.
A failure of Sake advertisement. Surely the company bankrupt, reason why, me the male model..
With the rest of the indo friends which from Surabaya.
After damm all out camwhoring session, of course back to and enjoying my meal.
Soon after we left the restaurant, and on the way walking back to the train station to catch the last train as we still got 15 minutes left. So walk walk walk and saw this bike parking on the road so yeng. Directly run over and camwhore with it.
Police on duty to give ‘Saman’ and were were like busying :
and asked the policemen to take pic with us. He said me very in the hurry, need to catch traffic offenders. Told him 1 only..1 only..very fast 1.. he said okay. Then we continue walking. To the next junction saw him again, so the rest of the ppl just run like siau lang and shout at the policeman that they want to take pic with himm…
We asked him, when you go catch traffic offenders, can we take pic with your bike, at first he was reluctant then ask as where are we from. From other countries then he was like go ahead. Kenny they all take a pic with the policeman and request them to tag him on Facebook. Damnm geng..HK policeman also FB kaki.
Me on the Hong Kong policebike..wakkaka..
Having a great time at the restaurant and of course with the 1st class food and serving, surely wouldnt mind to intro my friends to go there makan.
