WaWaWa

Since getting bicycles of our own, we have been trying out different park connectors in the East. The route leading to the Bedok Reservoir was one that we found quite pleasant and easily manageable.

The only eatery available in the Bedok Reservoir Park is called WaWaWa. Popular among joggers it is a casual dining café serving western meals with a bar serving a variety of alcoholic beverages.

As an appetizer we ordered the lobster bisque. It was creamy but the flavour fell short of the richness that the soup should have.

The mini beef burgers were one of the chef's recommendations. The beef patties were thick and juicy and did not get overpowered by the barbeque sauce or the gooey melted cheese. The buns were toasted to give a slightly burnt edge, adding a contrasting texture and smokiness to the meat. The French fries was exactly how I liked them: thick and fluffy strips of potato covered by a golden crust lightly seasoned by pepper without too much salt.

The bacon & prawn aglio olio was another one of their best sellers. However the pasta was shop bought and rather tasteless and the sauce was a bit bland. It failed to wow us from presentation to the taste.

The dessert menu was rather limited and we picked the recommended Wawawa chocolate lava cake. Although not exactly Valrhona-rich, the warm chocolate cake was tasty, with dense, liquefied chocolate oozing out and flooding the plate as soon as we cut into it. Unfortunately the vanilla ice-cream was, again, ready-made and tasted very artificial.

Given its wallet-friendly price range, Wawawa is worth visiting for its relaxing environment by the water. Food is simple without much surprise. I do hope that more restaurants can be opened up around that area to provide more choices as well as competition.
