Wara Wara Izakaya, Elizabeth St, Brisbane CBD
October 10, 2013
When this place opened up, it seemed as if it was such a close competition with the korean restaurant next to it.. Came here for lunch with a friend that came from Sydney that was having a conference in Brisbane.. Wara Wara offers lunch specials and so we tried them.. It's been awhile since I've been back here since my last encounter..
'Banchan' as Koreans call it are side dishes which accompanies your main dishes and while you talk or drink with your mates.. However, when I came, the side dishes weren't that appetising for me.. Kimchi was okay, the vegetable pickles seemed too western and didn't really taste good.. The only side dish that got me was the what I think was sweet potato/pumpkin.. Although it lacked abit of taste.. But it reminded me of the cold potato mayo salad that I've tried in other korean restaurants..
It's interesting how when a restaurant opens up, their presentation and portion of food is so much better than after a few months.. This happens alot with asian restaurants too.. I've been here when it just opened not too long ago, and I enjoyed the food, but now, I'm not too sure if I would go back again for their lunch.. Maybe try their share plates and that, but who knows, maybe that has changed too..
