Sushi Express (313@Somerset)

I see throngs of people queuing up outside Sushi Express (CityLink Mall) every day on my way home. I thought the hype will die down once the novelty of a new restaurant wears down, but the queue never seems to disappear. I have always considered conveyor belt sushi as junk food because quality of food inevitably goes down when it is mass produced. 

 
I decided to try out the restaurant and understand what is so special about this food establishment that draws so many people to it every day.
 
 
Giant Scallop is, as its name suggests, gigantic. However, it does taste a little bland even with the oyster sauce provided.
 
 
Grilled Mackerel looked so good we could not resist it, we snatched up two each the moment it landed on the conveyor belt. Fresh mackerel is pink from grilling and coated with a shiny layer of oil. It is every bit as good as it looks. You have got to try this.

 

 
I have enjoyed Jellyfish ever since I was little. There is something about the crunchiness and chewiness that make me crave for more. However, this Japanese version is a little too sweet, I still prefer the salty and sour Chinese version.

 

 
Grilled Salmon Belly is another must-try dish.The fatty salmon belly is grilled to perfection 

 

 
Octopus With Sesame is one of my favourite snacks.

 

 
Salmon Sashimi is surprisingly very fresh and fatty. Of course, this is not top-grade fatty salmon, but for $1.50 per plate, it is definitely worth it. I snatched five plates the moment fresh batch of salmon sashimi lands on the conveyor belt. 

 

 
Scallop Lips is a favourite snack of mine. I can't get enough of the sweet and crunchy taste. 

 

 
Seasoned Capelin Roe is one of my favourite sushi. 

 

 
Spicy Top Shell tastes good at first bite, but the taste can get a little too strong for some after a few bites.

 

 
Yellowtail Sashimi is so fresh, it is actually pink! It is firm to the bite and delightfully sweet.
 
 
I have a weakness for jelly, so I had Grape Jelly. The jedsslly is firm and smooth, it's a simple yet fulfilling dessert. 

 

 
I had Mango Jelly too. 
 
 
I have no idea what this dessert is called and I can't find it anywhere in the menu. It tastes suspiciously like the Italian dessert panna cotta, I shall call it Japanese Panna Cotta for now. This is definitely the best dessert here (in my opinion). The cream pudding is milky and smooth and the jelly at the top adds a little sweetness.  
 
 
The tower on the left is mine (19 plates) and the tower on the right is Stella's (18 plates) - she broke her record of 15 plates. I would have continued if there is no time limit of 90 minutes and I do feel guilty for occupying the seat for so long when there are so many people queuing outside.
 
At $1.50 per plate, with free-flow of green tea, rrdrfwasabi and ginger, Sushi Expredfss is cheap enough even for students. If you are not expecting top-grade sushi and sdshbsdbashimi, Sushi Express is a decent place to satisfy sushi and sashimi cravings without having to dvddddbreak the bank. dfbdfbdbdf

PAUL

PAUL is a renowned family French bakery and patisserie founded in 1889. Bringing with them them the fine tradition of passion for food and French traditions, PAUL gives Singaporeans a glimpse into French culture and tradition through the delicious and visually-appealing pastries and food.       PAUL's Hot Chocolate is not as creamy as I would have liked it but every last drop is made with good-quality cocoa powder.     Lemon Tart With Meringue is not exactly my favourite dessert, but it looked so pretty that I decided to give it a try anyway. However, it proved to be too sour for my palette even with the beautifully flamed meringue.    Croque Madame is croque-monsieur (grilled ham and cheese sandwich) topped with a fried egg. Emmental cheese, cream and ham is sandwich in pain de eie and toasted till a rich golden brown colour. Topped with a fried egg with runny yolk, every bite is filled with delicious goodness.   Address and telephone n...

O'ma Spoon

                        Korean bingsu is a popular Korean dessert comprising of ice shavings and various ingredients such as sweetened condensed milk, fruit syrups, fresh fruits, Korean rice cake and ice-cream. Bingsu is all the craze in Singapore now and Korean bingsu cafes are popping up everywhere like wild mushrooms.                            Besides bingsu, this dessert cafe also serves usual cafe offerings such as coffee and tea. I have been told that their Signature Oven-Baked Honey Bread is very good. The flavours include Strawberry & Chocolate with Ice Cream, Banana & Chocolate with Ice Cream and Green Tea with Ice Cream.     I was told that   Mango Cheesecake Bingsu   is one of the most popular item on the menu. Oh my, it is a sight to behold! A bowl of shaved ice is topped with sweetened condensed milk and freshly-cut m...

Grandma's - Authentic Singapore Food

Grandma's has been around for quite a while now but I only got the chance to try their food recently when the third outlet opened in Suntec City.        I remember having these prawn crackers when I was little. They are so easy and good to eat, I can finish a whole package of this in one sitting.     I don't usually order Malay food, but the Nasi Bukhari looked so good in the menu, I thought I will give it a try. Fragrant yellow turmeric rice is served with golden brown chicken leg which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Prawns were fresh and succulent but I don't really like the sauce the prawns are cooked in. What really amazes me about this dish is the beef rendang.          I never knew Bo Bo Cha Cha is so such a delightful dessert until I tried it here at Grandma's. The warm and thick coconut tastes so good with chunks of sweet potato and yam. This is definitely comfort food that warms the heart.   Gr...
