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.
I visited the Night Safari during the 2009 Halloween Horror special. They had done a good job in keeping the Halloween atmosphere within the park by dressing up their staff in gruesome costumes and playing the role of various scary characters from bedtime stories gone wrong.
The Train of Horror tour covered the normal route (which you can see the nocturnal animals carrying out their daily activities) a special route (through the Gate of Neverland) where the staff dressed in scary costumes will scare you.
The tour was very well-done and the staff in-character. What might irked most people is the long queues (not Night Safari's fault that they are so popular). Proper crowd control is in place.
One other part of Night Safari is the Hourly Animal Performances. Very interesting and educational. However, be prepared for queues here too (come at least 20 minutes before the show).
