Wagamamas Dining Experience

I had Wagamama for dinner tonight and loooooved it. I've been there a few times before but today I decided to try something new and I was really happy with it. 

For those of you that haven't been to Wagamama's before it's a traditional Japanese and Asian inspired  restaurant that offers dining in a casual setting. 

I love the features of this restaurant, the service is always really friendly and quick. They've incorporated Japanese-style seating and the whole feel of the restaurant is quite unique. Anyways that's enough from me, i'll go onto what i enjoyed tonight... 

 pulled pork gyoza - this was delish **

 grilled pork bulgogi wrap

Chilli Squid with shichimi sauce

 Prawn Raisukaree

Teriyaki Chicken Donburi

As you can see alot of eating went on (obviously I had some assistance with that - thanks bae;)) but I really did enjoy everything tonight, I remember my first trip to Wagamama didn't end so well but now I've mastered the art of choosing what's best on the menu. I didn't get to have a desert because by that time i was just too full, but next time i'll eat with caution to make sure there's room to try something from the desert menu. 

Wagamama' have recently added a online recipe book and i'm definitely going to have a try at cooking some dishes from there sometime soon and see how that turns out!

Prawn, Avocado & Watermelon Salad

         

    For the saints                                                                       For the sinners

This super healthy & tasty dish is so quick and easy to make it requires next to zero effort. It's packed full of all that good stuff and is 3 of you're 5 a day if you're counting! The picture on the left was before i decided to go all out and add cheese and dressing just for more flavour as i was feeling peckish but that's completely optional. 

To make this salad I used;

- 1/2 bag of mixed leaves

- Handful of prawns

- 1 whole mini avocado

- 1/3 of watermelon

- Table spoon caesar dressing (optional)

- Table spoon Parmesan cheese (optional)

- Sliced lemon (optional)

Method - 

 I actually baked the prawn and avocado in this salad just because i wanted to try something new. I marinated the prawns with a clove of garlic by grinding the clove and mixing it with the prawns in a small bowl. I also added some a teaspoon of lemon juice into the bowl and left it to soak up all the flavour for about half an hour. However, most frozen prawns are already pre-cooked and only require defrosting which would save you a lot of time if you're in a hurry. 

To bake the avocado i simply cut it up into 4 quadrants and placed it in a baking tray alongside the pre-marinated prawns and left it in the oven for about 15 minutes.  When the prawns and avocado were ready, i just put my salad ingredients all together in my bowl, added the prawns and avocado then i was done!
