Unagi Kamameshi (a.k.a. "Unagi Iron Pot Rice") @ Watami Casual Restaurant, Paradigm Mall

3
March 16, 2013 - Unagi is always my favourite when it comes Japanese food and this round our tour proudly brings you another special dish called the "Unagi Kamameshi" at Watami Casual Restaurant located in Paradigm Mall, Kelana Jaya. "Unagi Kamameshi" basically means iron pot rice with eel. If you don't like unagi, this iron pot rice also comes in chicken & salmon (i.e., "Gomoku Kamameshi") and crab meat (i.e., "Kani Kamameshi"). The "Kamameshi" comes in a burning hot iron pot and cooked on the dining table. Hence, you have to be patiently wait for 20 minutes for the rice to be cooked right in front of you. The smell could be very tempting while the rice being cooked but do not try to open the lid or your "Kamameshi" may not be well-cooked. It definitely worth the 20 minutes wait for the fresh and yummy "Kamameshi". For those who like a little spicy, you will also be provided a bottle of pepper for the add-on. Slurrp~
Watami Casual Restaurant which originated from Singapore also serve a variety of food and desserts that values for your money. While the "Kamameshi" only cost RM24.90 - RM28.90 for ala-carte, Watami also offer a long list of set meal and combo. While there are too many of them for 1 go, we only manage to try their "Hotate Butter Yaki" @ RM18.90 (a.k.a . "Baked Scallop with Butter") and "Hokkai Shio Chanko Nabe" @ RM27.90 ("a.k.a. Hokkaido Sumo Wrestler Hot Pot") this round. The "Hotate Butter Yaki" which served with enoki mushroom was well baked with butter. With a bit of lemon squeeze as taste enhancer, it makes a perfect light appetizer while waiting for the "Kamameshi" to be cooked. For dessert, do check out their "Hot Chocolate Brownie" and a variety "Parfeit" in their menu. We're too full to try and show it here this round but I can guarantee that they will make an appeal. The environment, lighting and music in Watami also creates a perfect japanese dining ambiance that is ideal for loving couple to share a great dining time together.

Revisit

March 30, 2013 - We've made a return in the same month to try their irresistible dessert. Out of their premium dessert selection, we've picked the hot chocolate brownie. At the price of RM 14.90++, we've got ourselves 5 pieces of brownie cake with 2 small scoop of ice cream which are served with chocolate sauce in a separate jar. The brownies were perfectly moist and firm, and not too sweet either. We give their dessert a thumbs up!
