I always do not have a good lunch experience at Watami Singapore at The Central Mall. The waiting time for food is always long and the service is quite slow. However, my friend has cravings for Watami and she chose Watami as the meeting place for lunch.
Watami has this Lunch menu where each dish set comes with a salad and a drink. You can choose from the standard Japanese set or the Western set or the daily special. The price ranges from S$11.80++ to S$17.80++.

My friend reached earlier than me and she proceeded to order for us. I had the Ishiyaki Stamina Don. This don consists of rice with bbq pork, raw egg, seaweed and onions, served in a Stone Pot. To my surprise, the service was fast today despite the huge lunch crowd sitting in the restaurant. When it was served to the table, the waitress told us to be quick in mixing the rice with the ingredients so that the rice would not be burnt.

The rice was a bit dry and some rice was crispy and charred. This could be due to me taking the 'before' picture that I lost some minutes in mixing the rice. The thin-slicing pork was great and Watami is not stingy in giving a big portion. The pork was tender and chewy. The seaweed added flavour to the whole dish.
Besides the salad and drink, the Ishiyaki Stamina Don comes with a bowl of miso soup as well. The miso soup tastes normal and the salad is nice. The greens is fresh and the corns are crunchy. It is really refreshing together with the sesame dressing.

As for the drinks, you can choose from the list of soft drinks, tea or coffee. For fruit juice and special drinks, you can always top up S$1 to S$2 respectively. I had the Yuzu Soda. This is good but there were many ice cubes in the cup. I've got to remove the ice cubes before I can conveniently scoop the pulps to eat.

Did I mention, the ala carte price for the Ishiyaki Stamina Don is actually S$11.80. Thus for the same price, we get to enjoy free drink and salad during lunch time.
