Healthy Food That Can Make You Salivate | Wafuken @ OUE Downtown Gallery
Friday, September 29, 2017
Healthy food doesn’t have to look and taste bland, at least not at Wafuken. The name “Wafu” means Japanese style of Western cuisine and “ken” derives from kenko,
which means wellness in Japanese.
Wafuken takes
pride in prepping food from scratch as much as they can. Their main cooking
method used is sous vide (pronounced su-veed), it translates to the process of
cooking in a vacuum-sealing bag, speaking of healthy food with minimum seasoning!
Hop on the bandwagon
to a healthy lifestyle in two simple steps – choose your favourite sous vide proteins,
followed by the healthy options carbs and sides.
In frame, sous vide Norwegian
Salmon Fillet | $10.0 (130g) is lightly seared aburi and sprinkled with konbu (kelp).
Paired with Quinoa | $1.5, Wafu Salad | $2.0 and Avocado | $2.0.
I think sous vide is a great way of keeping
the nutrients and flavours locked in. Also, it does not dry up the meat.
The Chicken Breast | $4.0 (half breast -
125g) is a good example here, it’s turned out soft, moist and tender. Even the
Smoked Duck | $7.0 (half portion - 100g) is juicy and full of flavour. Feeling
up for an indulgence? Tomato Pasta | $2.0 it is, with Wakame Cucumber Salad | $2.5
that gives you that spicy kick.
If you want them to pack a punch, then go for their house-made sauces such as Garlic Soy, Ponzu Pink Peppercorn, Black Pepper and Spicy Miso.

Donburi | $4.0 is
perfect for a cheat meal, it is served in a bowl of rice with onsen egg, daikon
and cucumber pickles. You have a choice of choosing Japanese brown rice or
Japanese white rice. I strongly recommend going for the former, even for
someone who doesn’t fancy brown rice like me. There’s just something about Furikake
Japanese Brown Rice that doesn’t taste like usual brown rice, in a good way.
Complete the
donburi with lightly seasoned 100-day grain-fed Oyster Blade Steak | $12 (full
steak - 180g) and some Truffle Oil | $2.0. Bam this could be your very own
customised donburi.
It may seems pricey to some, but healthy
food never comes cheap to me anyways. Furthermore, the proteins were cooked
using sous vide, which usually takes more than an hour to cook them. I guess
this justify for the price, a good healthy (and filling) meal that is tasty
too.

of the second outlet is that they are open for business on Saturdays, while the
