Kinsa Sushi (Hillview Rise)

Went with nia to Kinsa Sushi for dinner since the DT line is finally opened! Easier access to HillV2 Shopping Mall.

Green Tea ($1). Freeflow green tea.

Salmon Mentai ($15.80)- Crabmeat and cucumber maki topped with aburi salmon mentai, garnished with salmon roe. Torched, charred and creamy tasting salmon with mentai maki.

Grilled Prawn with Cod Roe Mayo ($9.80). Rich prawn taste with tender meat, topped with a delicious and creamy cod roe mayo.

Tenzaru Cold Udon ($11.80). Cold, chewy, plain thick udon with tempura (prawn, red bell pepper and carrot).  Even though I dipped the udon with the dipping sauce, it still tasted plain. Quite weird. Tempura didn't have any tempura dipping sauce.

Gyu Don ($13.80). Medium rare beef on a bed of warm rice with a half boiled egg. Nia ordered this. The beef tasted quite mild, rice was plain. Overall could use more seasoning for nia's liking. Miso soup was good.

Japanese Steamed Egg with Salmon Roe ($7.80). Silky smooth steamed egg with firm yet soft, salty salmon roes that burst in your mouth. Definitely a must try!

Itacho Sushi (Ion)

Itacho Sushi offers cheap a la carte items but they also do offer lunch deals and other promotions.

Came here to eat with Edmund.

Tiger Prawn Roll with Curry and Lobster Salad ($7.80). Deep fried prawn wrapped with seaweed and rice and topped with either curry or lobster salad. The curry really tasted like curry and did not taste weird with the sushi. Lobster salad was creamy and had small bits in it.

Fried Shrimp Roll ($3). Rice was a little sticky and could have used more flavor. The cucumber helped add some crunch while the mayo added some creaminess and flavor to the sushi.

Grilled Pork Hand Roll ($2.80). Not a bad combination. Pork, lettuce and sushi rice goes well together.

Salmon & Roe Mini Rice ($5.40). I love roe so much! The roe helped add the saltineess needed for the mild tasting salmon.

Seafood Salad Warship ($0.90). Really good. A must order. Creamy, cold and fresh.

Clam with Butter & Black Pepper ($4.50). The sauce was fragrant with buttery and peppery flavor which went well with the clams.

Roasted Egg with Seaweed and Crabstick ($3.80). It was served hot but tasted quite plain.

Genki Sushi (Bugis)

Finally went to Genki Sushi after so long.

Genki Sushi uses technology to their advantage. Orders are placed via iPad and dishes are served via the "kousoku" (express) system.

Using the iPad to order is quite fun. There's Genki Sushi games available on the iPad as well.

Ocha ($1.50). Once you order the green tea, they will serve you your cup. The green tea powder can be found in the drawer under the table.

Take 2 spoonful of the powder and add hot water. 

Ta-da. The hot green tea is done! Edmund helped make the green tea for mine. So I didn't had to lift a finger to get my hot ocha (heheh).

Clam Salad ($4.20) So Yummy! Creamy, with bits of fish roe and chunks of surf clam.

Salmon Triple Flavor ($3.80). Original, Cheese and Pollock Roe Sauce. Both the cheese and pollock roe sauce were cooked on top which gave the salmon a more intense flavor.

Wasabi Octopus ($2.80). Wasabi was strong, my nose almost died. Stronger than the ones seerved at Sushi Express. 

Surf Clam Gunkan ($2.80). So good that I ate one before taking a picture of it. As good as the salad just with the addition of sushi rice.

Egg Pollock Roe ($2.30). End of my meal with this. Sweet egg with savory pollock roe sauce that was lightly torched. The lightly burnt part gave it a nice slight smoky taste.
