Waraku @ Central

On a request from my partner, we decided to pay the over-hyped (IMHO) Central a visit to see what exactly it has in stall. After navigating through the confusing turns and narrow corridors, we finally came to a Japanese restaurant Waraku, sort of hidden in one corner on the 3rd floor of the shopping centre. Business must be good because we had to wait half an hour before we get to go in. But meanwhile we didnt waste time and checked out The Kiss jewellery shop on the 1st floor. The brightly lid shop showcased exquisite jewellery, ranging from silver to platinum to gold. The friendly staff catered to our numerous questions with smiles on their face. Felt really good talking to them. Will definitely consider this shop if we are getting any jewellery.

So half an hour later, it was back to the restaurant for our meal of cheese cream noodle, salmon sashimi, prawn maki. The prawn maki is good, though we felt that the Dragon Roll at Sushi Tei at Vivocity was better. The same cannot be said for the other two though. The cheese cream was abit thick, and the salmon sashimi could be fresher. So guess it wasn't such a good dining experience for us. If you dined there and felt otherwise, do let us know.

A Dog named Super


Hidden on the obscure basement of Vivocity, is a nice cosy fast food restaurant called Superdog. As the name suggests, it sells numerous concoctions of hotdogs. Not knowing which one is good, we simply picked one and it tasted okay. Not particular tasty, but the fries are still alright. Pop in and give it a try though, how often do you get a fast food restaurant specializing in hotdogs anyway?

Pastries Italiano - Ricciotti @ Riverwalk


After a hearty meal, we decided that we could do with some desserts to take our minds off the ramen that we just had. So we headed to this nice cafe that serves great pastries: Ricciotti Italian Deli and Pastry. We had some trouble with the menu though: there was simply too many choice! So after discussing for quite some time, we settled for these cakes: diplomatica, musa, ricciotti and the cassata siciliana. At half price as it was about 9pm already, what better time to enjoy delicious cake in a cosy environment?

To go along with the cakes, we got ourselves mocha freeze, mango freeze and peach freeze. Though we had some misgivings about the small size of the drinks, they were nevertheless great tasting, with rich fruity or coffee taste. So if you are around Clarke Quay, and crave for a nice slice of cake, check out this place at the Riverwalk.
