[CLOSED] WaWa (Kovan)

I was looking forward to this since I quite like clams. Respect for creating a menu off one ingredient. Don't be mistaken, the star here is the flavour-packed soup. It's briny, garlicky and spicy. Clams are, I mean, clams. The beehoon was also shiok only due to the soup.

Opted for their Signature Power Drunken Lala Beehoon ($7.90), Refreshing Clear Lala Soup ($7.90) and Fresh Cockles Marinated in Wawa Special Sauce ($11.90). I’m pleasantly surprised at how distinct the soup base were. The flavor of the soup base is very robust and umami sweet from the freshness of lala. The drunken version had a good dash of rice wine and what seems like the fragrance of hua diao jiu too.

Their cockles were so good too. They were generous with the portion and they are really fresh, juicy and plump! It’s so hard to get good cockles nowadays and their lala beehoon definitely make it to my good bowl of comforting food whenever needed!

If I have to choose between the signature fresh lala soup or this power drunken lala soup with rice wine, I would definitely go for this! The soup offers a garlicky and sharp aftertaste that will deeply register in your mind and leave you wanting for more. The rich soup base with rice wine blends perfectly with glass noodle and the clams were fresh and clean 》$7.90

A signature item on their menu was this fresh lala soup with a choice of soup only, bee hoon, or glass noodle. The clams were well cleaned and fresh while the broth was rich and flavourful. There was a choice to have it spicy or non-spicy but the added chilli kind of overpower/mask the flavours from the soup that we end up tasting more chilli than anything else. It would be better to go with non-spicy to enjoy the natural seafood flavour 》$7.90

Was around the area for lunch and decided to have some cockles as snack before my meal. Thought marinated meant that it was not spicy but omg it was spicy hot (but that is considering my spice tolerance is at zero). Who can resist cockles though? Decided to brave the pain and finished it all. Super yummy 😋 wish they have a non spicy version next time so i can enjoy it better.

You can get to purchase it at $11.90 if you order with any lala dish.

Fresh Lala in Homemade Garlic Butter Sauce [S$5.90] - I am impressed with the methods that used by @wawasg for cleaning and preparing the clams where I don’t feel and taste sands in my mouth from their clams.
