Waku Waku is another new Japanese restaurant situated in Midvalley Megamall. My interest was piqued after seeing a blog about their Nasi Lemak Jepun. I like it when restaurants are innovative with their dishes. So I brought my mum and brother few days ago to dine here.The menu consists of some regular Japanese such as sushi and sashimi. But it also has a page dedicated to Pan-Asian dishes with Japanese touch. Japanese Char Kueh Tiaw, Japanese style Bibimbap were amongst these interesting dishes.

Nice presentation and the salmon slices were fresh enough. I like the dressing (wafu, I think) they used on the salad. However, sparing a little dressing on the salmon would be nice too as they were quite tasteless. There was no soy sauce on the table. My Nasi Lemak Jepun was indeed a creative dish. Comes with a runny egg on the rice in a hot stone pot, braised soy sauce chicken, mild prawn sambal, pickled radish, anchovies and peanuts. The chicken was falling off the bone and nicely seasoned (you can't go wrong with a braised chicken dish I feel), and the sambal complements well with the rice which was coated with egg yolk and still sizzling away. The pickled radish provided a much need piquancy to balance the richness. Overall quite a successful dish.
The service was good, and pricing was quite reasonable as well. I'd come back to sample more dishes here.
