We were in such a situation not too long ago at Bishan Junction 8, after a super long day in church.
Sakae was empty, and we quickly grabbed a booth seat and ordered food!! But my rule of thumb here is not to eat anything raw from the conveyor belt. How fresh can it be after going through several rounds round the conveyor belt??
But first, a glass of cold green tea to quench the thirst!
And grabbed the next plate of tobiko gunkan to quell some of the hunger pangs. Ok, this is raw, but I made an exception this time round. As usual, the seaweed has lost it's crispness and it's stale and "wet".
Sakae didn't have lobster salad until they copied it from another sushi place...which I shall not name here. But what's not to like? Chunks of lobster meat with mayo...yummy.
J's all time favourite is the fried soft shell crab, but he placed the wrong order this time, and got the softshell crab sushi! I find the rice is superfluous...you can just enjoy the fried crab on it's own.
A meal at Sakae is not complete with their Sakae Chawanmushi. All the soft, eggy goodness in a cup. Not the best, but comforting nonetheless...
J had the chicken teriyaki don - he needs rice to quell his hunger! It was ok, nothing fantastic. I pinched some of his gravy soaked rice though.
I was craving for something hot and spicy and decided to order the beef kimuchi soup. It was salty, spicy, and hot alright. But I think there were only like 3 slices of beef inside! Totally not worth the $13.80 price tag.
I was very full from the big bowl of soup, and didn't order anything else. It was a quick meal to just to fill our stomachs, but it's a reliable place to go for a decent meal, just don't expect too much out of it!
