The Grand Central Rama 9 has been opened for a while. This giant shopping mall successfully persuaded some new restaurants to join Central, one of them is Pasta de Wakaru, a food chain from Wakaru Holding in Singapore. Wakaru owns 4 brands ? Pasta de Wakaru, Wakarau Japanese Causal Dining, Wakaru de Gohan and Mr. Curry. It is expanding its business in Hong Kong, Indonesia, Singapore and Malaysia.
As suggested by its name (Wakaru which means harmonious and enjoyable), Wakaru aims to provide their diners an enjoyable dining experience at their restaurants. Not only do they decorate their restaurant a cozy and homey environment, they also try to let their diners to enjoy the original taste of Japan in cooking.
Being attracted by the brand, I tried at the Pasta de Wakaru in Grand Central Rama 9. Although Central Rama 9 is super big, you will not miss Pasta de Wakaru. Why? It?s their eye-catching store design.
I went there when it was newly opened and the intelligent me chose to sit by the window, that allowed me to have the view of Rachadapisek Road. It gave me a special relaxing mood to enjoy my meal while watching the tiny movement of the road.
The inner decor of the restaurant is simple. It?s bright and clean. With the natural sunlight penetrating from the windows, it made the whole lunch experience a lazy relaxing one.
At Pasta de Wakaru, they offer set lunch to choose. I ordered a set of eggplant spaghetti with pizza, fried clams, soup and salad, and an additional set of curry chicken rice. The spaghetti was quite good though the taste wasn?t extraordinarily unforgettable, it?s better than many other restaurants. However, I was rather disappointed with the fried clams because the clams were too small. They are so small that I ate 5 to 6 pieces at the same to so as to get the real taste of the clams. Although it?s full of the aroma of garlic, I really couldn?t tell the taste of the clams.
As for the cream soup, I still felt it wasn?t hot enough. Unlike many local Thai, they like the soup to serve lukewarm. For me, soup should be served hot because the heat can pass the aroma of soup to our nose first before we taste it. A hot soup can enrich the flavour in our mouth. It is the same reason why the Tom Yum Kung is salty when it is cold/ lukewarm.
As for the curry chicken rice, it was good. The curry was cooked thick enough but not too hot. It matched very well with the tender chicken. The rice was delicious Japanese rice ? chewy, soft and sweet!
One thing that I really like Pasta de Wakaru is the menu. It is soooooo extensive that you?ll take quite some time in choosing your dish. The menu is made so attractive that you will actually want to try every dish in it. The price is very reasonable and affordable as well!
If you pass Central Rama 9 and don?t know what to eat, Pasta de Wakaru could be one of the best choices.
