---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Makan time again !!! its time to check out more food ... this time -

WARUKU PASTA and Man jia Lou at Central.


Join me on the magical journey of Japanese pasta and pizza ....

Some snapshots of waraku @ central



Ok here comes the food ...

we ordered
1 Eel Teriyaki Pizza - $12.80
1 Carbonara Oyster and Bacon - $15.80
1 Waraku Salad - $ 9,80

Total : $45.20

My comments : its nice but alittle pricey. The food portion does not justify the price and the food was not hot enough and its seems more like fast food to me. it still need some improvement to please my palate. But their service is simply EXCELLENT! Waraku deserve my 2nd chance.


First up .. WARUKU salad
This dish .. is seriously nice. As it is suppose to be a cold dish, we do not expect them to take too long to be served anyway. The serving of vegetables and tuna was generous. It has this distinctive Japanese flavor that blends perfectly with the salad.

The vegetable is light and crisp to the bite. The salad also comes with hard boiled egg nicely sliced and baby tomato .. an amazing dish by its own !!! BERRRY NICE !


Die Die Must tryyyy !!



After this teaser appetizer, we starts to have super high expectation on our main course dinner. while we are snapping away, the MAIN COURSE came IN A MATTER OF SECONDSSS !!!
i am serious about it .. I was shocked for words. But still i try and to my disgust .. arrghh ... the pasta and pizza was not hot enough, its seems to be ready made!

Ok, i assume this is how they do our dish.

Our pasta ( spaghetti ) has already been blanched long time ago. What they did was to warm the spaghetti , cream sauce together and lay the oyster and bacon on it. This is not what i expected. i expect them to take pride in their cooking by slowly and skillfully toss the noodle into taste and it should taste like its fresh from the wok!!!
( well, maybe its peak hour thats why they did this ??? )



Oh yah .. the pasta also comes with a half boiled egg .. i think most of the pastas also come with that too .. lol .. is this their trademark ??

Up next the pizza ... its similar to the pasta .. normally pizza is baked together with all the ingredients. However for this pizza, i believe the crust is already made. Because their crust is signature crispy! and they spread the sauce on it and lay the teriyaki eel ontop .. and this simple dish cost me $12.80 ?? abit stupid .. i expect them to put the eel with the bread base and bake it . so i can taste it fresh from oven ...



Really sad ... but i will visit another time. hopefully what happen this time is because of peak hour... otherwise, it should just close down ....

MAN JIA LOU.... @ central marketplace basement 1




If you read papers or seen those chinese food variety show before. You should recognise this name. This shop belongs to a young entreperneur who learnt cantonese dimsum from some chef and was able to make it 'modern' with his twist of style.

His trademark dish would be - egg wrap carrot cake.

He did mentioned something like the carrot cake is freshly made daily and is wrapped with some dried shrimp or something special to make it different from all other carrot cake ...

But to my dismay !!! its another nightmare for me .... i can do it too ! all i need is to buy a piece of carrot cake from the market coffeeshop, fry an egg wrap with it and put some dried shrimp or dried xo pieces inside ... this pathetic piece of 'cake' cost me $3.50 !!!


This shop really does not deserve such publicity ...




Does he deserve so much attention and big hoo ha ? i think he deserve it for his spirit of entrepreneurship and not i repeat NOT HIS CREATIVE FOOD ! go try it yourself !



The piece of carrot cake was sliced in 4 portion and hey ! i waited 5 minutes for this and finish it in a matter of 30 seconds ... SO FREAKING ANGRY !!!


The only thing that saves my day is my mum's cooking again LOL

My mum cooked this popiah kinda vegetable

Braised 'Ban guan', she took time to clean the veg, sliced it and slowly braised it with dried shrimp, some roast meat and pork belly ... and it can take up to 2hours to allow the whole dish to simmer and it taste so good with just rice !!!






HIGH PROTEIN CORN FLAKES!



And i chance upon this cornflakes that boast a high amount of protein unlike other morning cereals .. so i bought it .. its cheap ! $6.90 for a big box ..

add 1/2 cup of skim milk with 30 grams of cereals and meet up to 25% of your protein intake .. lol.. do you believe ???
