Angeline brought her Papa to Waraku Japanese Restaurant for his Father's Day celebration. As Waraku is located at Marina Square (which is next to Sun Tec City that was organizing the IT Fair), Angeline decided to call the restaurant and make a reservation in advance to aviod disappointment. Apparently, Waraku was running full house and Angeline was placed 4th on the waiting list for a table of 6 persons.
Angeline made the phone call at 6.00pm and she reached Waraku at 7.00pm with her family. A quick check with the counter staff at Warauku confirmed that Angeline was next on the waiting list, which meant that Angeline would get a table once there was one available. What's more, the staff has informed Angeline that a table has paid for their bill and should be leaving soon. Angeline thought that her lucky stars were shinning on her.
In the end, Angeline and her family entered Waraku at 7.40pm. A 40 minutes wait for one table who has apparently paid the bill and should be leaving soon. Angeline just wondered what was the customers at that table doing for a good 40 minutes. Oh well!
Angeline defintely won't know what the customers at that table were doing. However, Angeline has witnessed the power of Nintendo DS Lite during the 40 mintues wait. Both her Papa and Mama took turns to play the Nintendo DS Lite during that period of time. They were competing with each other to break Celine's highest records of barbequing 53 fishballs. Heh!
Once inside Waraku, Angeline and her family browsed through the menu and promptly decided on their orders. Before Angeline could raise her hands to ask the waiter to take her orders, Ck appeared amazingly (Ck was supposed to have just boarded the train at Toa Payoh at 7.10pm). Angeline should applaude Ck for his timely arrival.
Dinner was settled in a fast moving fashion. Food was ordered, served and eaten within 35 minutes. Angeline should indeed praise Waraku for their speed in serving their customers their orders. As for the culinary skills of the chef, Angeline shall reserve her own opinions.

Right after dinner, Angeline and her family went shopping at Marina Square. It seemed as though the Great Singapore Sale has over whelmed (almost) everyone in Angeline's family. Angeline's Mama bought a pair of flip-flop from Myphosis, Celine bought a handphone pouch from Myphosis and Angeline bought a lipstick (bright pink) from Skin Food and 2 necklaces from Diva.
Naturally, Angeline's Papa (maybe Ck too) was getting slightly restless from the seemingly endless shopping spree. To pacifiy the men, a treat to Japanese desserts at Azabu Sabo was promised.
Due to some miscommunication (and prehaps multiple logistic misunderstanding), Angeline's Papa and Mama assumed that they were going straight to Azabu Sabo after Angeline and Celine announced the treat. As a result, they walked straight to Azabu Sabo, brought a cup of ice-cream (apparently, it was Durian flavour) and started to eat happily while Ck, Angeline, Celine and Marlyn continued shopping.
However, when Ck, Angeline, Celine and Marlyn fianlly reached Azabo Sabo, Papa and Mama were NOT there anymore. Gee!
A phone call to Mama found out that they were sitting at Starbucks and enjoying their cup of durian ice-cream. After all these hassles (of minor logistic miscommunciation), Angeline and her family were finally seated at Azabu Sabo (with half a cup of Durian ice-cream).
Once again, the Japanese desserts were ordered and served in a random speed. As Angeline has conveniently forgot the names of the Japanese desserts, there would be no specific recommendations. If you are meticulous enough to remember the picture (and order at Azabu Sabo on your visit), Angeline would recommend the one at the top. It is actually Red Bean Paste with Soft Ice-Cream.
If you are looking for exotic Japanese desserts, Azabu Sabo is the right place. However, if you prefer to have your exotic Japanese desserts served in a restaurant with good services, you can consider other places then.
If you can still remember, Angeline's Papa and Mama have walked into Azabu Sabo with half a cup of Durian ice-cream (from AZABU SABO). Apparenly, the waitress informed Angeline's Papa that the ice-cream should not be brought into the restaurant, as it was considered as take-away. If OUTSIDE FOOD was not allowed, Angeline would have been fine with it.
Angeline must have gotten her complaints genes from her Papa. Angeline's Papa argued that he bought the cup of ice-cream and found it yummy, thus he invited his family to try the other varieties in the restaurant. In the end, "Company policy" was the explanation that was given to Angeline's Papa. How convenient!
All in all, money was still well spent for companionship (ONLY).
