A creamy pasta with potatoes, just nice enough since I asked for some light pasta

• Lunch @ Watami Japanese Casual Restaurant, Hong Kong

It was a wet day today for Hong Kong, raining from early morning until late evening. Taking this opportunity, I went to try my luck at Watami Japanese Casual Restaurant branch which located nearby my current location. Why I said “luck”? It’s not that I need luck for a meal but to get a seat there without waiting on weekends is like almost mission impossible (=_=!!) *swt*

and . . . . .

Ah~ha! Just as I expected, not many people were there today due to the rain . I can even walk-in and pick a seat which I like

The Menu

This was my 2nd visit for this restaurant… and they told me no meal set available for Saturday, Sunday and Public Holidays. I was like… huh? I just had a meal set last Saturday at another branch and they told me they doesn’t serve any for today (Saturday). I told them about my previous visit and that changes already been made that meal sets are available on Saturday, Sunday and Public Holidays too. They look puzzled. Ah well, just let it be since I’m not looking forward for their meal set actually ~ LOL ~ XD

so I ordered . . . . .

Watami’s Assorted Deluxe Sushis

which has

Grilled Scallop Sushi

Salmon & Seafood Sushi

Unagi Sushi

next . . . . .

Garlic Fried Rice with Assorted Seafood

Not to forget my drink . . . . .

Cookie & Ice-Cream

Here we go, my lunchie

The portion for the fried rice isn’t that much, just like 2/3 of our normal big bowl of rice, so I’m not taking heavy weight consumption here ~ Hahahaha ~ *hopefully*

I like the sushis

• 5th November, Catherine Kok’s Birthday

Yeah, 5th of November is Catherine Kok’s birthday!!! Happy Birthday to You!!!

*** but this dinner we had at the end of September 2008 which already two months ago

Please don’t take this wrong, we had this dinner for meet up but not for any like birthday-celebration-in-advance-dinner ~ LOL

Catherine Kok with her lovely cousin sister.

Alright, a snap right before she start enjoying her pasta.

Same goes for her cousin, Miss Senang. Haha, her name “too” related to “senang” ^^v

~ Fish & Co’s Seafood Platter for Two ~

As I can recall, this was my 4th Fish & Co’s meal, all previous visits I went to the branch at Lot 10 which already been closed for now. Taste wise isn’t great as the times I had at Lot 10 which already a few years back, but still a good place to try out some seafood on platter

• Starhill Gallery’s Jogoya Japanese Buffet

The hype of Jogoya has been going strong all the while. Once anyone ever spelled out the word “JOGOYA“, everyone will be imaginating and fascinating how great it to be in Jogoya! *well, least that’s for my case ~ LoL *. Finally, here come the day which I tasted out Jogoya’s after all the hype of how good and expensive it could be

Okayz, this got nothing to do with it except that we parked our cars at Pavillion, KL

Just for those who don’t know, Jogoya is located at Starhill Gallery and not Pavillion

*Starhill Gallery is just located right opposite at the main entrance of Pavillion*

Wow, there was some performance at the Lower Ground of Starhill Gallery facing the rounded bar!

Finally the entrace of Jogoya at the Relish Floor of Starhill Gallery! (2nd uppest floor)

Alrights, here we go for the buffet’s sessions and its pricing available at Jogoya

I called Jogoya a few days in advance to make booking in case we can’t secure ourselves seatings during busy times. Honestly speaking, it is quite frustrating to get them pick up the call ~ LoL! I tried from afternoon until night only get them pick up the call. First you’ll need to pass a series of communication with automated-operator before you’ll reach their customer service representative. Ahhh well, if you happen to call, just spam the number on the dial ~ haha! *= =!!! sweat*

First you’ll get to the counter to register on your number of pax. In my case, I just spell them my reservation code and then they confirm me on the number of paxs before proceed to payment. Yeah, you’ll need to pay before you enter Jogoya

Here it is our reserved table for 10 pax (in fact I made for 12 but 2 FFK-ed!!! )

Lets get for the food! Before that, you’ll be noticing this clip thingy available one for each person on the table. This clip works like a token for you to drop into a bowl later for food which requires time for preparation. So they’ll later serve the food to your table and return the clip to you. There off you go again for hunting others. This brilliant system just not to PAUSE nor HALT you at one station while waiting for the food to get ready, you can go get and enjoy other food while waiting for it *isn’t that just nice?*

Don’t lost this while you still want to eat!

Within minutes, our table filled for our first round of food ~ muahaha!

Might as well we go on a short brief so you’ll get idea on what kind of food you’ll be expecting to eat at Jogoya . Emmm… I guess I’ll skip that on second thought because it is too much to type out = =!!! *sweat* Did you noticed those mini-stove available on the table? Certain food will require to heat up the food such as shabu-shabu and porridge.

Mini-stove on each of the table with something on…

… which is Jogoya’s Drunken Stone Mini Lobster!

Once we’re done will all the food, lets move on for some desserts!

Guess this corner would be the female’s main attraction, EAT WHILE YOU CAN HAAGEN-DAZS!!!

I had few scoops of the Green Tea flavour which later I gave up because it is just too sweet. If you aren’t an ice-cream lover, lets not worry as there are cookies, marshmallows, chocolates and many other varieties. You can actually keep your stomach filled by just having the desserts

Finally a group shot of us who went there together
