Wa Fu

Because ET and I were both starving, not only did we chose the banquet but also ordered the yakitori to start with!

Of course we were also served the obligatory free pickled vegetables that we forgot about until we had already ordered.

To start the banquet we were served miso soup with chicken.  The flavour was subtle with only a slight chicken taste.

The salad was also served the same time as the miso.  My salad had no wilted leaves (one of my pet hates) but it had so much dressing that I could have drunk from the bowl at the end!

ET fared slightly better.

The california rolls were just ok.  Although ET really enjoyed his sashimi, I told him at the start that his looked redder than what I was served.  It wasn't until he ate mine that he realised his pieces were much tastier.

Tempura was served in a fan-type dish which I was real amused by.  The dish itself was nice and light and not laden in oil.

It was nice to see the server wait until the sizzling stopped before putting the next dishes down.

ET's wa fu was good and my salmon was also fine.

We were then served banana tempura around ice cream which was supposed to be green tea, but I think they used up all their supply at the next table because there was no green tea look or flavour to it.  See for yourself...

After the last dish we sat and contemplated whether to ask for our coffee and tea since none seemed to be coming although it was on the banquet menu.  But since it was a big, late night (for us anyway), we decided to forgo the caffeine and just pay up.

Overall it was a nice night out at Wa Fu.  ET & I liked the fact you can order different options (like the salads and sizzling plates) on the banquet menu when other restaurants don't allow you the luxury.  Plus the two staff on the floor worked well.  And considering it was a full house on what is normally a quiet weekday night for most restaurants and cafes, Wa Fu must be doing something right.
