Sakae Sushi - Oishi Desu ka

Hi guys and gals,

This blog is about the Sakae Sushi restaurant chain in Singapore( and many othe parts of the world from what I understand}.Having lived in Japan for a year and a half, I was seriously concerned at eating at a sushi restaurant chain here in Singapore. However, I must say that I was pleasantly surprised at the quality and freshness of the seafood and I have gone back ever since.

The Sushi lunch buffet is a steal for approximately $15 a head for 60 mins. Only weekdays though so when I can pull myself away from my work, I head there to stuff my face with the most delectable nigiri sushis, various types of maki, gunkan sushi (the ones wrapped with a piece of seaweed) and also the Inari sushis (the ones stuffed into sweet beancurd skins) Every plate that is originally $2.29 is up for grabs and you are also entitled to a free red plate of premium sushi or sashimi. Personally, I adore the lobster salad.... lovely pink chunks of lobster tossed well in a wasabi mayo dressing with flying fish roe. I am such a big fan of this that I constantly send my housekeeper to buy it home for me.

I am amazed mostly by how innovative the sakae sushi group is. Other than all that is revolving on the conveyor belt (which is a dizzying array by itself), you can also ask the servers for delectable hot servings of Tako yaki (flour balls filled with octopus) fried hotate (Scallops...nice even if they are the fake kind), gyoza, cold soba and many,many more. You can also ask for three types of chawanmushi, my favourite being the kani (crab)one which is choc a bloc full of crab chunks. Wash it all down with unlimited servings of hot green tea and/or icy cold water.

So fellow foodies, if you have not tried any outlet of Sakae Sushi before, you do not know what you are missing !! They have the Cara stamp of approval ;-)
