It's been one hell of a week so far for me. Thrown into the fray to become an emcee, finishing up my final ever Duty, completed plenty of admin matters be it MMRC and IPPT, going for my friend's 21st... I've really grown to know even more about myself after the exploits of this eventful week.

Speaking the obvious, the best way to reward myself is to indulge in good food once again. My uncle's birthday was the perfect opportunity to do just that. Not only could we have good food, I could also take the chance to talk about the place we are visiting. Our initial first choice was Supply and Demand but we settled upon the alternative - Genki Sushi.

If you have been reading my blog, by now, you should probably already know that I'm an avid fan of Japanese food especially sushis. I swoon over them. If I have a girlfriend, I would be obliged for sushis to be the third party in that relationship. Jokes aside, let me carry on with my elaboration of Genki Sushi.

How to get there:

Situated at the heart of Orchard Road within the artistic confines of Orchard Central, Genki Sushi serves up a host of creative and unique dishes that are bound to make you fall head over heels over them.


Pricing:



With the high rental fares which are definite at Orchard Road, it is understandable that the dishes in the place are relatively more expensive as compared to the competitors of Sushi Tei, Sakae Sushi, etc. At a price range of $3.80-$4.50, you are able to get cheesy flavoured sushis, sashimis, cheese fries and root beer with float just to name a few of the dishes. Your cravings and appetite can easily be satiated through an aggregate spending of $35, which is extremely reasonable for an A la carte buffet.

It is actually the Hong Kong site as the Singapore website is currently under maintenance.

Food:


For sure, it's definitely impossible for me to try out all the food from that place but I'm just going to share about those that I've tasted on the day. So here goes!


How can a Japanese buffet ever be complete without slurping down those Chawan Mushis first? Fresh, smooth and filled with crabmeat and mushrooms, the Chawan Mushi served at Genki Sushi fits all criteria to be a cracking appetizing dish.


Probably the best dish in Genki Sushi, the sashimi sushis come in a plate of 3. The one in the middle however, steals the whole show. Seared cheese coated over the sashimi(Eburi Sushi) had a priceless taste that was unique and definitely not what one would expect while trying out sashimis.


The side shows weren't bad as well. Normal coated cheese sashimi sushi and pure sashimi sushi are a great tandem to complement the taste of the Eburi Sushi.

And that is why eating Japanese food never fails in its job to make me happy. There is so much to choose from the Japanese Variety be it sashimis, Sushi rolls, miso soup, ramen, just to name a few. Such a wide galore of food types are also able to provide great health benefits to an individual. The high proteins of a larger preference for fish types and the green tea that fights off undesirable elements in the body are just 2 of the many benefits that Japanese food provides.


So what exactly comes along with large quantities of such Japanese food? Yes, a Japanese buffet.

A few days ago, I patronised the Sushi Express branch at Tampines 1. It is not exactly a buffet but I would rate it in the same category as one as they sell their plates of Japanese food types at a very cheap rate that is equally value for money as a buffet place.


It sells plates of sushi and others alike at $1.50/plate. 10 plates alone with additional GST cost would not even cause it to exceed $17 and is more than enough for a good hearty lunch/dinner.




The low and affordable pricing at sushi express not just guarantees a cheap meal, it too guarantees tasty food that will satisfy your cravings.

In an A la Carte buffet place like Sushi Express, it wouldn't be as worth it to go for the simple conventional food types like just a plain sushi or egg sushi. My choices would usually coincide with the more extravagant and expensive food types to make the $1.50/plate pricing even more worthwhile.

That explains why my food choices here are mainly that of sashimis, desserts and scallops.





And to top it all off, a nice cheesecake that is well worth the $1.50.

If you're not in a rush and you're patient to wait long hours to get good and cheap Japanese food, Sushi Express is the place to go. Just make sure you don't waste your time there picking on the cheap dishes. The food on offer bring flavour to the fore and will not disappoint.

There is one more branch upcoming at Seletar Mall as well.


So with that, Peanut has left another marker on a food place. Stay tuned for more adventures!
