wagamama, antwerp

my chicken katsu curry salmon ramen duck gyoza tori karaage

so after walking around antwerp on saturday afternoon, we ended up in wagamama's to eat. why wagamama's, and not belgian frites, mussels and beer? well, i had mussels friday night, and i was really craving chicken katsu curry, plus robert and patray had never been to wagamama's before.

i used to go to wagamama's quite often in london. i love the chilli beef ramen and yasai gyoza and chicken katsu curry, and the fresh carrot-and-ginger juice. oh, and the yakisoba too. so yumm. the food arrives quick, which is great when you're in a hurry, and is always delicious, and the staff are always friendly and efficient.

i had the chicken katsu curry, which was soooooo good. the panko crisp, the chicken still tender inside. the amount of curry gravy was just right, that it mixed well with the rice (i can't eat plain white rice, it has to have a sauce) but not drowning the chicken cutlet. i also had the tori karaage as a side dish, although i wish i had ordered the duck gyoza instead. robert had the duck gyoza (so scrumptious) and the wagamama ramen. patray had the salmon teriyaki ramen and a side dish of fried tofu.

we went home happy, with full bellies. it was a nice day out in antwerp. :)

eh yas, aku kebetulan pernah 7 hari di tokyo. masuk pasar2 cari resto murah (dapat yang 10-15 euroan porsi gilak banyak banget) coba makan jepang asli. pernah gak bisa masuk katanya penuh tapi aku pikir mereka gak biasa ama orang asing. pernah masuk ke ramen resto tapi isine babi kabeh. aku gak inget nama, tapi aku suka udang, terong goreng manis, ikan gorengnya. makannya pake nasi bau2 rumput laut. disana kita napas bau rumput laut terus ya.. incl. tehnya rasa rumput laut terus. sushinya wenaaaaaaaak2 pol !!!palign suka kl ke warung makanan. nyobain makanan yg dibeli oleh orang jepang sendiri. hehehe..

Wagamama ada dua biji di tempet saya tinggal.

Sayangnya blm pernah jajal. Abis kdg menunya sederhana (chicken katsu dll) tapi harganya ke-mana2, mending sekalian ke resto Jpn beneran.

Iyah, cinque terre yg mungil dan permai .. hehe, lucunya, koresponden Italian saya sendiri -tinggal di Roma- ngga tau itu Cinque Terre. Padahal di luar Italia, itu udah legenda. Abis.

whoaaa...

ciao
