Cheeky post gym Wagamama

Now I am not one to go for a chain restaurant, give me a nice independent restaurant or pub and I'm all over it. Don't get me wrong I am not against a takeaway or some pub grub but I wouldn't normally bother blogging about it.

But I thought our recent trip to https://www.wagamama.com was worth a mention

There is a Wagamama right outside our gym and in the evenings when you come out you can always smell the amazing food making you hungry when you have just finished your workout and are bumbling around the carpark looking for your car.

There is always a massive queue of people outside more so than any other restaurant in the area.

Now recently as you may have seen Ashley had challenged me to create some Japanese dishes (mainly due to his love of pork belly) as we came out of the gym one day he happened to mention he had never been, So as a treat after going to the gym for 3 straight days we decided to go as a nice treat for ourselves. Go us !!

Because we both like our food so much and couldn't decide

what we wanted so we decided to share a few dishes.

For starters we (obviously) ordered the pork belly, panko apple + sriracha hirata steamed buns (left) and chicken yakitori (Right)

For mains we ordered

ginger chicken udon (left)

teriyaki shredded duck hiyashi bowl (right)

and I am not normally a desert person but I wanted to try the "funky Green cheese cake" white chocolate + matcha cheese cake (Below)

I am not sure how they prepare the food but it all seems freshly cook and well presented none of the flavours of the dishes are too overpowering, we even managed to eat most of the dinner with chopsticks. The steamed Bao buns were particularly nice and you can have them with different fillings.

I know most people have probably been to Wagamama but for those who haven't and want to try something different that is not going to break the bank, Wagamama is ideal.

There are around 150 sites around the country and I have been to a few over the years and they are all consistently good food. I would even recommend the "funky green cheesecake"
