Wasabi Japanese Teppanyaki - Manuka, Canberra


Remember the post on how fun it is eating at Benihana teppanyaki? Well.. this restaurant take 'fun lunch' to a whole new level.....
Being one of my family's favourite at Canberra, we decided to eat Teppanyaki at Wasabi restaurant. You're expect to book the restaurant before dine in.. however being an interstate tourist, we didn't know. They manage to put us into one of the table for a timed 45 mins lunch.

 
Our table chef start off the day by handing each of us small bowl... 'What for..?' we wonder...

Then he planted eggs onto the side of the grill and................... he started to throw the eggs for our bowl to catch. "Wow.. original fun" I thought.. however he's not done yet! Noone got hurt yet from this stunt.. not yet at least =p
The chef mixed up all the 'liquid chicken' and made a scrambled egg roll from it (sorry no photos :( ).
He then tell us to open our mouth. When I was thinking... "huh?", he threw the egg roll to each of our mouth!!!  Don't worry.. if it missed, he'll just throw you another one.. maybe to land on your hair.. or your clothes, he doesn't care.. its all about fun!

My always favourite teppanyaki fried rice!!! Extra cost for this rice, however it does come with extra 'kicks' other than just a 'fried rice'. He served the fried rice into a full bowl... Then start throwing each bowl to us again...

The goal is so that the bowl he threw will be caught by the bowl we're holding and 'hope' that all the rice transferred over!! This is where it gets veryy.... messy.. rice on hair.. inside clothes.. etc.. ahaha... (Its a flying teppanyaki.. literally) As much fun as it can be, I can vouch that their food waste is on an extremely high level!

For the fried rice it self, I found that he didn't mix the rice enough, so that the sauce is not evenly distributed. Even though, teppanyaki fried rice still as drooling as always.



Here comes the main meat. The $16 lunch set menu comes with an entree, main of either scotch fillet or chicken fillet, second main of either king prawn or fish fillet, a miso soup and rice (fried rice for extra $3).
The beef is veryyy juicy and tasty!! I had a try on the fish as well and I can tell you, all the foods are very well cook and  seasoned.

At the end of cooking, the chef say goodbye to us and left us with a graphical message of.. I love you!

Ahaha.... Wasabi restaurant does take teppanyaki to a whole new level, huh? Flying food...!!!
