Waqu - Happy B'day J & E

Mum and Dad took us all out to Waqu to celebrate J & E's bday!
Its a seasonal menu... and since its sept... spring was the go

Still loving the wide angle!


1st course
japanese salt ‘n’ pepper squid and chicken, dashi mayonnaise
+
tiger prawn escabeche on miso paint with crusted rosemary

I was expecting it to be like S&P squid..but it was different..
not crunchy, but softer.. + a heavy pepper taste rather than salt..
7/10

2nd Course
spring vegetable soup

hmmm this was actually kinda average...
didnt really get wow factor from this... 3/10

3rd course
three kinds of sashimi w/ umami soy sauce
ocean trout, tuna and flat head

My fave was actually the flat head!
never had it before! yum!
7.5/10

4th Course was the choice
This was the ONSEN TAMAGO + FOIE GRAS PARFAIT

Apparently it was pretty good.. i didnt try it
but they left some plastic packaging around the foie gras :S

This was the duck... i didnt have this either


my choice was the SCALLOP & CRAB MOUSSE!

was very interesting... the red was the beetroot "soup"
it also came with some "cookie" as pictured next to the scallop
6/10

5th course
SHOGA KUROBUTA PORK LOIN + RIB.. this is what e had


and everyone else went for the....
WAGYU BEEF!!!! med rare!



look at the marble!

it wasnt the BEST ive ever eaten.. but it was still up there..
i feel bad for eating just some of the fat haha...
still good! 7.5/10

6th course desert!
strawberry mousse, macaroon, pink pepper puree, strawberry jelly, cheese ice cream

Not having the biggest sweet tooth, im not the hugest fan of deserts.. but i do enjoy them
This actually was the highlight of the meal!!!
the mousse was sooo soft.. nom nom! + the pink pepper puree... wow!
8/10

overall i think waqu under delivered.. slightly dropped their standard from previous..
but still was a great nite.. and as always the company completed the meal!

happy bday once again E & J!!!
