One of the best places to savor Japanese food is Sakae Sushi. It serves fresh sushi and a wide variety of meals ranging from teppanyaki to even tempura ice-cream, all at very affordable prices. Another plus point is its many outlets located all around Singapore, especially the Woodlands branch which is just beside a MRT station.
I like the Woodlands branch the best, not just because of its proximity to my house, but also its excellent use of natural lighting to brighten up the place, unlike other restaurants which make use of strong and bright light-bulbs that only makes you sweat as you eat.
The Chicken Katsu Cheese Yaki should be ate with the mini-salad on the side for the optimum eating experience. Only $6.99 and very filling (perhaps due to the thick cheese)
The Tempura Ice-Cream is just unique – a bit like fried ice-cream but a healthier version (not too oily). The servings are surprisingly big and it cost just $3.99.
The staff were also friendly and efficient - our orders took less than 10 minutes to arrive, just nice as we were indulging in other sushi on the conveyer belt.
We were all craving for sushi the very day and thus we decided to drop by Sakae sushi at causeway point to satisfy our crave. It has been quite some time since we last ate sushi at sakae. This time round, their menu seems to have improved with more varieties. Let alone the chawanmushi, they have three types now. Issn't that wonderful? :P
This time round, we decided to try their donburi and some side dishes. Chicken shiogayaki don is what we have ordered. Although we have no idea what shiogayaki means, we still order them due to the pretty picture. ha. This dish turned out to be not too bad. It may seems rather similar as the teryaki chicken don but i believe the sauce that was used was different.
Some side orders that we have includes the fried toufu, the softshell crab temaki, the potato koroke, okonomiyaki, etc. We wanted to try the hotate but they do not have them on that day. I believe the side orders tasted best when they are pipping hot. This is exactly how they appears to be when they are served before us. Hot pipping hot toufu with a light and thin crust taste amazing nice. Not forgetting the softshell crab that tasted so crispy and tasty together with the japanese mayo.
Of course, how can we give the chawanmushi a miss? The three different types of chawanmushi includes the kani, sakae and udon. We decided to give kani a try and we were told to wait for half an hour before it will be served. Well, i guess the waiting time is worth with the chawanmushi arrived pipping hot and the soup filled with kani smell and taste. Of course, the smooth and soft egg makes the whole dish even more tasty.
Overall, we have a pretty nice dining experience. Although the queue was pretty long that day, we still find them worth while. Staffs were pretty friendly and are pretty attentive in serving all their customers. I remember that one of the staffs even told me that my chawanmushi will arrive in 5 mins time. ;)
Oh, not forgetting that they are having some promotion that if you spend more than 20 bucks, one is entitled a free california temaki. I got them and they tasted just as nice. Probably you can try them too.
