Saw the ad for the prawn burger, but didnt realised it wasnt out yet,
so got there and realised only the Shogan burger was available.

Since I had already queued up, I got the fish burger and the quarter pounder.

The fish is always consistent, however it depends if they are generous with the sauce.
Same as the quarter pounder, both were piping hot, which is better than some places, where the burger is just mildly warm.

Apart from the lovely pasta I had, this time I tried fish, golden pan fried fish with herbs on top.

A light lunch for people who do not want to eat much, consisting of balanced vegetables.

You can choose a three course or four course depending on if you want the dessert, the meal includes tea or coffee.

Didn't intend to write about these cakes, but just for an extra review

Anyway for $6.5, got a pack of two chocolate chip cakes.

The is more of a mix between a muffin and fairy cake, rich in chocolate and chocolate chips too. Garden bakery also does pre-packed cakes too, but in terms of freshness I would choose Maxims, however Garden has more flavours such as walnut, cherry and raisin etc.

Since it opened, its menu has not really appealed to me, the only thing that was worth me trying is the test tube drinks.

Ordered the bloody orange test tube, ice cream with sweet potato and custard sauce, and the banana tempura ice cream.

The orange drink was rather nice and sour, not artificial in taste at all, however the desserts were a bit over priced, especially the ice-cream with sweet potato, the ice-cream is just the same as McDonalds, in fact any ice-cream from those machines, you would expect that McDonalds taste.
The sweet potato beneath the ice cream was the only star of the dessert.

As for the banana tempura, that was even more disappointing, only the banana tempura was good, the rest was a bit simple, you might as just buy those relevant ice creams and scoop them yourself and cut pieces of fruit to put on it. The melon didn’t match that well with the ice cream, melon is always quite savoury, same as the watermelon, it is a bit too juicy to match well with ice cream.

Meat balls served with Jam totally caught my interest so came here to try it, also tried their hot dog and popcorn.
The meatballs were quite soft, and the texture is a bit like a burger in meat ball form.
I was very surprised the Jam tasted really well with it, it balanced out the lard taste of the meat.
As for the hot dog, it was just a plain simple hot dog, not grilled with oil, but slightly dry.

[Review 490] 21/10/2009 Light dinner @ 居食屋「和民」Watami Japanese Casual Restaurant

The food at Watami is usually Ok, ordered the stir-fried udon, meatballs, hotpot and fatty tuna with spring onion.

The udon was just right not too soft or hard, the meatballs had a crispy shell and complemented well with the sauce.
As for the hotpot, the tofu was nice and silky, however the soup base became strong in beef taste after the beef had been in there for a while.

The fatty tuna was rather fat, and the spring onions coarsely chopped.
