Watami @ Ion Orchard

Decided to join in the crowds at Ion this afternoon. Spent more than 7 hours just at this mall alone before calling it a day. Really unproductive. Only bought a camisole and a pair of sandals (both on sale at $9.90) from Uniqlo cos since we had already squeezed into the newly opened shop, i must die-die get something from there! And YZ will kill me if i didn't! hee...

After emerging from Uniqlo victoriously, we decided to try our luck at Watami since we didn't manage to the other day. Imagine this, we reached the restaurant before 5pm and already there is a queue! Had to wait about 30min before we got a table. i was quite surprised they gave the booth seats which could probably seat 6 pax to us. :)

The service in comparison to Imperial was much better. To much "horror", the waitress kneeled down to take our order. We each had a Sapporo ramen and shared a hotate butter yaki and sashimi supreme. Don't eat the ramen. A waste of $ and tummy space. The hotate is forgettable too. But the sashimi is good. This plate costs just $19.80++. Prices here are generally quite reasonable.


When we finally finished our food, there was a long queue at the door. Hee... we were really mean. Cos we don't feel like giving up the table so soon, so we ordered drinks. The fruit liqueur sodas are generally not nice. i thought my lychee-shu soda tasted like cough syrup. :p

Interestingly, the layout of Ion is such that the higher you go, the lesser people there is. But the conclusion is that there isn't really much drawing factor for me other than all the Japanese stores and eateries... Maybe cos shopping does not interest me any more i think.
