Genki Sushi, Orchard Central

Went feasting with buddy, Evelyn on Wednesday cos I've not seen her for close to 2 weeks. She has craving for Japanese food, so I suggested Genki Sushi since she has not tried it before & the only one time I had was like 10-20ish years ago at Forum Gallery!

They have this call-queuing system whereby you just need to register & goes shopping till you get a phone call from them! No need to stand & wait in line!

Soy Sauce, Green Tea Powder & Chilli Power are available on the table

A big container of ginger available also

Wasabi is also available on every table

They uses an integrated iPad ordering system so that you can place your order fast! Selected item that you ordered entitles you to a little lottery too!

The most interesting of all, food items that you ordered are delivered in their Express Train! How cool~

Check out how your food item is being delivered to your table in this video above and the food we ordered below!

Steam Egg with Crab Meat - Egg is very soft & generous serving of crab meat

Steam Egg - No complains from Evelyn

Hana Maki

Yellow Tail

Tuna Sashimi

Salmon Sashimi

Sea Eel Whole - Eel no fishy smell.

Seared Salmon w/Pollock Roe. Nice lah!

haha.. Hello Kitty fans, rejoice!

First round for 2 girls!

Evelyn, the happy girl cos she satisfied her Japanese food craving!

Continue with some Takoyaki

Edamame - Only Evelyn eats this & she doesn't really like it cos it's served with salt

Dragon Roll

Cream Croquette

Fried Squid Arm

We had a super satisfied meal at Genki Sushi & I would say, it's a lot better than Sakae Sushi in terms of quality! Will definitely be back for more!

Walked around and bought ice creams from Gelateria Italia Takashimaya despite stuffing ourselves silly at Genki Sushi! Evelyn had Hazelnut while I had After Eight. Nice way to end our mid-week!

Paradise Dynasty, LOT1

Dinner with ex-colleague, Jaslyn at Paradise Dynasty LOT1

Table setting

Pan-fried Pork Dumpling $3.90. Although it's pan-fried, it still has some soup in the dumpling. I didn't expect it and took quite a big bite into it & the soup splashes out!

Xiao Long Bao $13.80. We couldn't decide which flavor to order, so we ordered the mixture which consist of the Original, Cheese, Crab Roe & Foiegras. I didn't try the Cheese XLB thou. Honestly, I can't really taste the difference between the Original, Crab Roe & Foiegras.

Sze Chuan LaMien with Pork Dumpling $8.80. Not a fan of LaMien actually, but the taste is pretty good. However, the skin of the dumpling is a little thick.

Fiona's Birthday @ Irodori Japanese Restaurant

An impromptu advance Birthday celebration for Fiona @ Irodori Japanese Restaurant. She says she has missed a few of our Birthday celebrations here & wants to celebrate her's here! This place is coincidentally owned by one of our Sister's uncle, so we managed to book the private room for our dinner

Needless to say, we ordered lots of dishes from the buffet menu!

Complimentary Green Tea Tofu for all guest

Hiyashi Tomato

Can't remember what is this, but it's some fish which I did not eat

Enoki Shitake Butter Yaki

Buta Kimuchee (Kimchi with Pork)

California Maki

Yasai Itame (Fried Vegetables)

Ebi Tempura

Satzuma Imo (Sweet Potato)

ToriKaraage

Buta Enoki Maki (Pork Roll with Golden Mushroom)

Saba Shioyaki

Cocktail Bacon Maki - My must have!

Fish braised in light sauce I think. I didn't eat this as well.

Tebasaki

2 rounds of Sashimi

Grilled Ebi Mentai - This is another complimentary dish served for all diners. This is so good I swear I can eat tons of it if it's on the menu!

Grilled Fish Collar - Not sure if it's one of the complimentary dish cos I don't remember it being served during our previous visits.

To die-for item: Torched Salmon Belly - This is definitely not one of the complimentary dish & it's also not one of the item available in the buffet menu. We only get to enjoy this dish when the owner's niece is dining with us!

Given the extensive list of items on the menu, we're definitely coming back for more!

Here comes the Princess Fiona Cake from PrimaDeli. Fiona specially requested for this pretty & cute cake! Thanks to friends working at PrimaDeli, I managed to get the cake slightly cheaper =P
