Wanya

At the moment, I am on Annual Leave from work for a couple of days. The reason is that I have some friends over from the UK so I took a couple of days off work to hang out with them.

Anyway, for dinner last night, we headed out to one of my favourite Japanese all-you-can-eat restaurants - Wanya. The place is in Central and, although expensive, is a great place to go if you like Japanese food.

The main reason I like Wanya so much (in addition to the quality food of course) is the style of the restaurant. Most all-you-can-eat restaurants are buffets. The chef cooks the food in great vats and plumps them onto a tray where everyone immediately dashes to grab the best pieces of meat. I guess its kinda how prehistoric man felt when he had to hunt down his own food.

However, in Wanya, you sit down at the table and the waiter gives you a menu. You choose what you would like to eat from the menu. At this point, the chef cooks a small portion of whatever you just ordered. This is a great way of eating Japanese food.

Everything you order is made especially for you - rather than being cooked in larges vats for the masses. As you can imagine, the also means that the food is much better quality than you would normally find in a buffet restaurant. At the same time, you get to try out as much different types of food as you like. Its a great system.

Thumbs way up on this one!
