Wagamama

Its a traditonal custom at work that when any girl joins the development/testing team, we organize a girl's lunch and fire hundreds of questions at the new person(s) - by way of getting to know them. A toned down version of raging you could say. Last time we headed out to All Bar One on Leopald Street which was really nice except that they had very few vegetarian options. This time I took the initiative to organize the lunch and we headed out to Wagamama - a japanese fusion style restaurant. The super-fast service at this restaurant deserves special mention. We were a group of ten girls seated in two rows and as the waitress was taking orders on an electronic hand-held system, they were being relayed to the central system that services the orders. We had our drinks on the table within 30 seconds of placing the order. This is the fastest service I have ever had. I have plenty of slow poor service experiences, but this one takes the cake.
We placed orders for the food, but they were on our table within minutes. Not wanting to try the usual noodles, I had vegetable dumplings with sauce - five of them which was actually a side-dish, but quite filling by itself. Others ordered noodles or salad - which looked quite impressive too. One difference though was they served warm salad, which was a striking contrast to the very cold salads the locals normally prefer. They had wooden chopsticks on the table, which remained untouched by most of us. Those who chose nooddles, preferred to use the fork and spoon and not embarass themselves by trying to eat with the chopsticks. Most plates were clean which meant their food was really exceptional. I would love to go there again, but when, only time will tell.
