Friday Food Night

Both me and my man are a huge fan of sushi. We have been attacking random Japanese food places. Even if we are overseas, we always ended in a sushi place although we are not in Japan.

I want to share our favourite sushi place so far, which is none other than the Sushi Express, I believe this is nothing new in the market. For those who haven't been there, they only serve sushi, sashimi and side on the conveyor belt, you won't be given a menu, but you can refer to the board outside to see all the items they are serving. There are no bento or udon, so you grab the plates on the belt and you pay based on the num. of plates you ate. For the hungry men, you grab more plates and you pay more. And for ladies who don't eat that much like me, a few plates will be enough. Each plate is priced at an affordable $1.50.

We like it because the price is very affordable, and its one of the cheapest place to enjoy our favourite salmon. Our bill for 2 usually totaled up to $30-$50 depending how hungry we are.

We also enjoyed Ichiban Sushi and Sushi Tei, but there are days when we just feel like having sushi and not wanting to spend too much on meals, we will usually go to Sushi Express.

Having said the price is reasonable, so expect a queue during peak hours. The queue can get pretty long something -.- I don't recommend this place when you have a group more than 3, most of their seats are bar top, so its hard to get table if you have a group.

They have a range of sashimi, nigiri, gunkan, maki, sides and desserts, their food are generally fresh. They don't serve fried item, which is rather smart because fried item gets soggy overtime, not nice to leave on the conveyor belt for too long. Their menu here.

We went to their new outlet at IMM last Friday. We reached there at 6 plus, before the dinner crowd. We waited for like 5 min and we got in.

I always start with a miso soup. Quite a big bowl so 2 person can share. There is salmon inside, and I like it a lot (I am a fan of FISH).

I had my favourite plates of cos:
SALMON SASHIMI!
There was once we went to the 313 outlet and only discovered there was no more salmon sashimi when we got it. Sadly la, we came out really disappointment because whats the point of going there when there is no salmon?! So check out the belt first, aim the plates you want before going in.  

GRILLED SALMON BELLY

The salmon is touched before serving, warm dish. May not have it all the time

SCALLOP SUSHI
Fresh and sweet tasting scallop sashimi sushi... weeeeeeeeee
2 sushi per plates, very worth it even if you are just going for the scallop ditching the rice

These 3 dishes are my all time favourite.

Sushi Express also has takeout stores where you can get the sushi at the same price. The takeout stores have bento and sushi platter going at real affordable prices too. You can check out their locations here.

-----------------------------------------

We decided to have some dessert after our dinner, and so happened we found a new dessert place: 魏姐包心粉圓. Apparently its quite popular in Taiwan, and I think this is their first outlet in Singapore.  

粉圓 is like little dumping, rice ball. I believe most will be familiar with the Lai Ah Po Yu Yuan (赖阿婆芋圆) at Jiu Fen (九份老街). 魏姐包心粉圓 is similar, but instead of taro, its red bean. 

I ordered the snow ice pudding dessert and the man had the bean curd one. 
The rice balls were warm and placed separately, we were asked to put in the balls as we eat. 

May not look very appetizing on the photos, but the rice balls are really nice and QQ, maybe is because I like red bean alot. The balls are not too sweet, so the men can accept it too. (But the snow ice is quite sweet.) We ordered the cold desserts, so the warm rice balls blended well. Quite a big bowl so ladies can share too!

The shop is located at #01-48.

Yup that's all about our normal food night. Till then!
