Introduction
“WA-KA-RAN (和華蘭)” : three characters that tell the story of the coming together of cultures. How these characters came to be started between the 17th to 19th century, when Nagasaki became Japan’s early cosmopolitan gateway to the world. Inspired by this melting pot of cultures, we see that everybody brings their own unique cross-cultural perspective to the table. After all, colloquially, the word “wakaran,” is simply an abbreviated form of “wakaranai” (I don’t understand) – so who are we to tell anybody what they should really know about food? Ingredients and techniques don’t need to be boxed in; everything is open to experimentation and play. In the end, everything is delicious, and enjoyment is our number one priority.

I recently had the chance to try out WAKARAN, and it was an overall pleasant dining experience!We started with the Salted Egg Yolk Crispy Chicken Skin. The chicken skin had a nice crunch to it, and the seasoned of salted egg yolk sauce provided a rich flavour. It was impossible to stop eating this addictive appetiser.For our mains, we ordered the Sushi Platter with 8 pcs. The sushi was fresh and the rice was well-seasoned. It satisfied our sushi craving.Rounding out the meal, the Bossam was a true highlight. This Korean-style braised pork collar was meltingly tender, with a wonderfully complex flavour profile. It was served with an array of fresh accompaniments, like kimchi and lettuce wraps to customise each bite.And two cocktails we had the pleasure of trying - Kung Fu Pandan and My Sweetheart. Kung Fu Pandan - earthy, grassy notes with the balance of sweetness and sourness while adding a salty kick. The whole thing is just so well-balanced and easy to drink. My Sweetheart - Okay, this one's just flat-out delightful. The rose and strawberry flavours give this lovely, delicate floral aroma and soft texture with fruity sweetness. But what I love most is how the lemon keeps everything nice and crisp!The service at WAKARAN was attentive and friendly. The cozy vibe also added to the overall dining experience.
