NYC | WAU's Tiramisu Steals the Show 🍰✨

As someone from Guangdong, I find Southeast Asian cuisine surprisingly reminiscent of Teochew flavors—light yet satisfying. But what truly stood out here was the dessert! 😍 Most dishes let you choose your protein: Tofu, Chicken, Shrimp, Beef, or Seafood. ▫️ Satay Ayam 🍢 Indonesian-style chicken skewers with rich, creamy peanut sauce—so flavorful! ▫️ WAAAU Noodle 🍜 The viral "standing noodle" dish looks dramatic and photogenic! The crispy noodles soften in broth, though texture can be uneven. If you prefer consistently al dente noodles, this might not be your favorite. ▫️ Crab Fried Rice 🍛 Wok-fried to perfection—each grain separate and fragrant, loaded with generous chunks of crab meat. So satisfying! 🦀🔥 ▫️ Nasi Goreng 🍲 Classic Indonesian fried rice, uniquely flavored with sweet soy sauce (kicap manis)—a comforting, savory-sweet combo. ▫️ Thai Tiramisu 🍰 A creative twist! Layers of mascarpone, ladyfingers, coconut flakes, cocoa powder, and a citrus slice—unexpectedly delicious! 🥥🍊 (Note: They occasionally switch up flavors—recently taro, and strawberry for Valentine’s Day!) ▫️ Lychee-Rose Crème Brûlée 🍮 A tropical take on the French classic—creamy, floral, and topped with fresh lychee. 🌹🍮 This cozy spot is often busy—and for good reason! It’s a Michelin-selected restaurant (not Bib Gourmand). Fun fact: WAU is part of the same group as Singapura and Laut—so they’ve basically mastered NYC’s notable Southeast Asian scene! 🏆🌿 📍 WAU 434 Amsterdam Ave, New York, NY 10024 #NYCEats #SoutheastAsianFood #UWS #MichelinEats #DessertLovers #Tiramisu #NYCFoodie #WAU #NYCDining #HiddenGem #FoodAndMemory #SweetTreats
