Watami (part 2)

This is part 2 of Watami... in case if you've missed our previous post, you can check it out here ! :)

Watami is such an awesome place to dine. Nice & romantic kind-of setting! The previous review of Watami's set was RM90++, this time is only RM59.90++ for 2 persons!! *omgeeeeeeeeee*


1 piece of free nigiri sushi if you have the 'pinch a salt' card.
The menu has 5 parts; Appertizer, Sashimi & Sushi, Skewer & Hot plates, Noodles & Rice and Dessert.

Salmon and Maguro Carpaccio. Super delicious! The green sauce+freshly cut onions (underneath the sashimi) SO GOOD. worth it.
 

Ika Maruyaki (roasted squid). SUPER SUPER DELICIOUS. #mustorder so worth it!!!!!!

 
Tokyo Roast katsu Don (pork cutlet with scrambled egg rice in Tokyo style). This dish is quite a big portion. However, the pork tasted really...soggy and the raw egg on the pork made it worse. (wouldn't recommend this. p.s. I didn't even wanted to order this, friend's choice)

 
DESSERT!!!!!! From the left; Crème Brulee (Thin sweet crust on top-tasty), Sumiyaki coffee jelly (not too bad, quite nice, sweet+bitter), Macha Ice cream, and the maccha tiramisu (Y)-#mustorder
HOWEVER, i was disappointed as you can only order either the crème brulee, sumiyaki coffee jelly or maccha tiramisu AND macha, vanilla or chocolate ice cream. Quite sad that you can't order crème brulee and maccha tiramisu together :(
 
The below dishes are extras that you can only choose 2 from the RM59.90++ set that has UP to 50% discount.
 
Sushi Moriawase RM10.90 (original: RM20.90).

Gomoku Kamameshi (chicken and seafood pot rice)- RM15.90 (original: RM24.90)

#MUSTMUSTORDER. I was quite skeptical about this dish at first. Never fancied ordering chicken in a Japanese restaurant. BUT, this was soooooooooooooooo good! This dish boils the rice and other ingredients together! so you might have to be patient while waiting for the dish to be cooked. The steam coming out from the boiling hot pot and it's... CAN'T EXPLAIN. too good. seriously. must try!

Salmon sushi don- RM16.90 (original: RM10.90)
The brown sauce on the salmon pieces is SUPER gross. Doesn't taste good at all. They gave extra sauce...DO NOT USE IT! LOL hahahah unless you like it.
 
 
Overall, 9/10 based on these dishes. Really good. Depending on which outlet you go to, it definitely varies. 
HAVE A GOOD WEEK!
stay tune peeps :D

Papa John & Pasta Zanmai

Yes, we know....We've been M.I.A. We apologize for the super-duper-uber late update/food review :( We've been super busy juggling both worlds-work and studies (exams, etc...)
Not the easiest route to take, but... WE STILL LOVE WHAT WE DO :)
Anyways, here is a bonus review for all you food lovers out there. This will be a special post: 2-in-1 !!!!!! 
First: Papa John @ Ikano Power Centre
I think their spaghetti dishes are really....watery? The sauce was like... having cheap mushroom sauce on the spaghetti. And a lot of herbs that tasted weird. Really... gross. I think you should just stick to ordering pizzas. Papa John IS famous for pizzas.

BBQ Chicken & Beef (RM 21.90) ; 12inch RM 29.90
Tender Grilled Chicken, Beef Bites & Zesty Onions Combined with a sweet and tangy bbq sauce.
Tasted nice, however, portion is a little bit too... small? Couldn't really taste the meat!

Hawaiian Papa. Pineapples are a bit pathetic? only like 5 pieces. A lot of cheese though. 7 pieces for RM20 is not worth it and definitely not filling.
I'm not sure. Maybe it was just my luck for getting terrible pizzas that day.
Anyways, save the best for life right?



Second: Pasta Zanmai @ Paradigm


Kinoko no Cream Sauce pasta (Mini- RM13; Regular- RM20)
Japanese mushroom and Hot-spring egg cream sauce pasta. Tasted quite blend. I think the sauce a little too watery as well? with the mushrooms, made it even tasteless.

Salmon no Cream Sauce Pasta (Mini-RM16; RM26)
Salmon, Japanese mushroom and spicy cod roe cream sauce pasta. A little bit salty, taste different than the konoko. 3 pieces of salmon? quite sad.

Seafood cheese pizza (mini RM16; RM28)- prawn, squid and cheese
THIS. was the most shocking dish. ever.........

It's almost the size of a hand! OMG... not worth it at all. tasted OKAY.

Seafood cream soup RM13
Crust is quite thin. Look like chowder soup. Tasted quite good.

Seafood macaroni gratan (gratin) RM18
Most worth it dish ever. Cheap and filling. Seafood was good as well! But it's a bit too 'jelat' if you eat too much.

This was on promotion. Lobster and rice (can't remember the name). Tasted quite good but it cost RM27.


Overall, Papa John 5/10
              Pasta Zanmai 7/10


Both these restaurant has really good dishes. However, consider the portion and price, might be a little pricy... Anyways, up to you guys to decide!
hope you enjoyed this 2-in-1 post! :D
stay tuned peeps!2
