Wahiro's S$15 lunch set
My, I have forgotten how good Wahiro is. This is the first time I'm trying them for lunch. The quality of ingredients and elegant portions made me feel light, clear-headed and refreshed after eating. This lunch set used to be S$12+ just last year. With recent increase in prices, it's now S$15 but still unbeatable value. Available daily but menu items may vary according to chef's selection.

Older Wahiro posts here and here. Tomorrow, the Wahiro Bento.

Update 29 July 2008: I came here again today but the food was not as impressive. Sashimi slices were smaller. Rice a bit soggy. We had the "fried item" instead of tempura, and it was minced salmon sandwiched between lotus root slices, breaded and deep-fried. Didn't work for us. Tempura's a much safer choice. But sometimes the fried item can be a nice tori karaage, so it depends on your luck. The stew was much nicer today, made with shabu-shabu thin slices of pork instead of chicken. Miso soup was salmon miso instead of plain. We also had a delicious mori soba (cold noodles, S$9.80), which came al dente.

  4. Hi Camemberu,

    It's always great to read your Flog! (: Haven't got a chance to try Wahiro yet (even though the bf and I frequently hang out around the East Coast/Katong stretch...)

    Katong Mall is closing soon isn't it? I think...

  6. SIG: yes! But portions are not huge. Good for light lunch.

    Car: I asked on your behalf yesterday. Yes, the set meals are available every day, including weekends!

    LIC: haha, yes, negates any transport costs and travelling time!

    Koume: Thanks! Hope you get to try Wahiro soon. Yeah, Katong Mall was sold en-bloc amidst some controversy just recently. Not sure what will happen to it. I hope Wahiro will continue to stay in the East though!

    Joe: indeed, a little bit of everything at a nice price.
