It was my last day in Singapore and with few hours to spare, I followed my sister to the city to run some errands before going to the airport. Given an hour or so, I was left alone strolling around along Orchard Road.
And that’s when I stumbled upon Watami, a Japanese restaurant which sounded really familiar to me, when I was bumming around lost inside Ion Orchard. It took me quite awhile to recall as I remembered I read about this Japanese restaurant from somewhere.
Thinking it would be good to grab a quick bite before my flight, off I went inside without a second thought – since the review I read about this restaurant was good. A quick flip through their menu, I set upon and ordered two items…
First up was Wafu Hitokuchi Steak. Lightly seasoned bite-size steaks were cooked to perfection, retaining its flavour inside while remained tender and juicy. Pardon me for the poor photo quality though.
The second dish was Salmon Splendour. It’s a bit of everything – 3 types to be exact – that consist of salmon.
There weren’t any complaints as the salmon was fresh and the remaining two were kept simple and nice.
Pride as the Japanese casual restaurant, I guess they did it nicely as the price was alright for the food they serve. Not only the staffs were friendly, the waiting time was reasonable – although it wasn’t fair to judge as I went there pretty late afternoon hours (off peak).

Nice! Sg in general does mid – high end dining pretty well ;)
I was just in Ion last weekend! :)
Didn’t try this place though – was too busy walking around n stuffing my face with the Japanese stall food.
Not into Japanese…and like going to Penang, if I were to go to Singapore, I would feast on the local specialties, the hawker delicacies instead of the alien stuff. The only one from outside the country that I would go for would be the Nasi Padang at Rendevouz (Indonesian cuisine)…
Rebecca : Yup. :D
J : Haha. Do try when you are there again.
suituapui : Their western meals are pretty good as well. Hehe.
