Finally we're at the end of this beautiful Easter long weekend. I hope you all kept busy socialising or just taking the time to relax and enjoy some 'me time'. As for me, I am now looking for dance classes to shed the round muffin top I've gained in the last couple of weeks. It's always easier to shed the fat with an activity you enjoy instead of trying to stop yourself from indulging in the food you love so much. I wonder how many hours of dance classes I'll have to attend if I do become a famous food critic one day indulging in food adventures every evening. Hmm... I often wonder what people dream of in the their spare time-if they have any. A perfect life to me is a life in which I wake up every morning to the smile of my loved one, motivated to attend my day job making stories and analysis out of numbers and giving advices that drive people to their success - might sounds boring to some of you reading this... Followed by an evening of food adventures, whether it be cooking or trying a new dining experience and sharing it with loved ones. What's your perfect life? Dreams and future wishes are what keep life interesting and keep the motivations and excitements in all of us.
Anyway, on a recent Friday evening my girl friend and I went for a quick light dinner at Sushi Roll World Square before going to a bar for relaxing drinks. Since it was a little late for dinner service, we decided to go for the sushi instead of a la carte menu. Even then, we had to order a couple of them because the sushi chefs weren't making any more fresh batches for the train by the time we sat down so there were only a few different dishes going around. We got the Eel roll, Santa roll, Dragon Roll, Grilled Salmon roll, and Creamed Potatoes roll. The Eel roll is your standard sushi rice stuffed with Japanese white cheese and sliced cucumber with grilled Eel on top. The Eel was tender with good flavours of soy sauce and slightly sweet. The cheese was slightly salty with thick creamy texture. Together, the components make quite a rich sushi dish. The Santa roll is sushi rice stuffed with a slice of salmon and avocado topped with fresh salmon, sliced spanish onion, and drizzled lightly with japanese mayonaise. The creaminess of the avocado and mayonaise combined with the pieces of salmon was cut through by the punch of thinly sliced onions. Probably the best dish we ordered that evening.
The Dragon roll is sushi rice stuffed with deep fried soft shell crab and thinly sliced cucumber topped with avocado slice and grilled Eel. It was a tasty dish, however, the slightly sweet soy sauce flavour of the fish combined with the creaminess of avocado almost covered the taste and texture of the soft shell crab. Without the crispy texture of the soft shell crab and the view of the crab legs sticking out, you might confuse it with the Eel roll. The Grilled Salmon roll is also pretty similar. Salmon was grilled perfectly, topped with pickled radish, and seasoned with soy sauce and again, slightly sweet. After finishing all the three dishes with grilled fish we found it difficult to distinguish the flavours except for the notable slightly sweet soy sauce flavour on all each of these dishes. The Creamed Potatoes roll is a great companion to the intense soy sauce flavours we got of the other dishes. The creamed potatoes were deep fried with thin bread crumbs coating. It is simple and light in taste yet comforting.
Overall, we were quite happy with the dishes. It is of better quality than some of the other chain sushi train restaurants. It's also very reasonably priced for their portion size and a cleaner and healthier option for quick dinner comparing to most other fast food places. It would have been better if we could taste the flavour of each component of each dish instead of feeling like having a full main a la carte dish of the three grilled-fish-based sushis we had at Sushi Roll.
