Wagamama: Add Some Zing To Your Shopping Trip

 

If you’re looking for a delicious, Asian-inspired restaurant to visit where you can catch up with old friends over a steaming bowl of ramen or have a casual date while sharing a delicious katsu curry, Wagamamas is the perfect place!

This chain of restaurants offer a variety of tasty food dishes that will appeal to meat lovers, seafood fans, vegans and gluten-free diners alike.

Whether you’re in the mood for some yummy food such as steaming hot ramen noodles or crispy tempura vegetables, Wagamama’s has something for everyone to love.

How Wagamama Works

 

If you’re eating in, you may need to be prepared to sit at a table with strangers during busy times.

They’re not regular tables so you won’t be making awkward conversation or sharing your food with new people – unless you really want to!

 

Each dish is a made-fresh-to-order-service so they generally bring out everything as it comes, regardless of what you and your friends have ordered. Everything is always steaming hot, delicious and leaves you wanting more!

The service is friendly, welcoming and fast-paced but you’re never in a rush to leave.

Stay as long as you need to satisfy your Asian food craving!

Wagamama’s Ramen: What is it?

 

Ramen is a delicious Japanese noodle dish that is typically made with chicken, pork broth or vegetable broth that has been simmering away for hours – sometimes even overnight.

Ramen can be enjoyed for lunch or an evening meal and also features thin noodles and fresh, crunchy vegetables and is a great choice if you’re watching the pounds. It is often served with a soft boiled egg, green onions and your choice of topping, usually beef, chicken, pork, tofu or fish.

 

Wagamama’s Ramen dishes come in a variety of flavours and styles, so there is something for everyone!

You can choose between Teriyaki ‘chicken’ (vegan), miso glazed cod, spicy short ‘rib’ (vegan), chilli steak or chicken, tantanmen beef brisket, shirodashi (slow-cooked pork belly) and yummy coated silken tofu ramen.

 

Be warned though, the portions served at Wagamama restaurants are LARGE, so make sure you’re both hungry and thirsty for a delicious bowl of Wagamama ramen!

A Cool, Modern Environment

 

Wagamama’s humungous portions of food make it a great value place for eating in and the modern, Asian-inspired décor is a cool place to bring your friends whether it’s for lunch or an evening of slurping noodles together!

 

The high quality food is also a wonderful affordable option if you would like to take your date somewhere new and if you can’t finish your meal, they offer a takeaway service too!

Giraffe: The Place For Trendy Foodies

 

If you haven’t heard of Giraffe yet, I’d be very surprised. These vibrant and rustic eateries are popping up all over the country and they’re serving up delicious food from all over the world.

Giraffe has outdone themselves with their wonderful and tempting breakfast food menu.

Here you can fill up on options such as a divine Moroccan breakfast, a Mexican tostada plate, a veggie and Giraffe special brunch plate, bacon and maple syrup pancakes and eggs benedict.

 

All of these dishes are made with nutritious and whole foods that will give you the energy you need to take on the day!

Of course a good morning always begins with a steaming hot cup of coffee (or mimosa!), so be sure to add one of their freshly pressed coffees to your food order!

Nutritious Goddess Smoothies

  • Coconut with pineapple, mint, mango and lime

From the Nibbles menu to the Dessert menu, there’s a glorious abundance of vegan options.

You can find food with incredible flavours such as Korean banana blossoms, Japanese katsu curries, vegan hoisin salads, southern chicken-less burgers, beer battered onion rings, seasoned fries, edamame nibbles, vegan sausage rolls served with a crispy has brown, chocolate fudge cakes and many more!

Children dining in are also welcome to be served from their very own menu with tasty, nutritious food options. Whether they’re looking at the breakfasts made with free-range eggs or the hidden 10 pasta (with 10 hidden veggies, shh!).

For dessert they can try yummy seasonal fruit skewers with chocolate dipping sauce for dessert (it’s not just me, right? The kids menu is always better!).
