Sakae Sushi

At the airport we are spoilt of actually spoilt of choices as there are many options for lunch. We can choose to have Italian, Indian or even local. It has been a while since I last have Japanese so I asked my colleagues to go to Changi Airport Terminal 2 Sakae Sushi for Japanese.

I personally like to sit beside the converyor belt to watch the plates of sushi going by and pick up what I want to eat. I hate to sit away from it and order as ala carte. That is the fun of going to sushi train restauarnt is it

Is it pretty hard to see a veggie friendly jap restaurant and so glad to have chanced upon one. This is one of the few sakae sushi outlets that caters to vegetarians

Rice Paper Maki "Veggie Sushi" : This was created by a genius. The sushi is infact made of rice paper wrap. Ingredients included carrots, cucumbers, mangoes among others. It looks like a real sushi, very pretty! tastes amazing- 9/10

Potato Koroke: This is another one of my favorites. Its somewhat like a potato cutlet. Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It contains mixed vegetables. The dish was very well cooked and tastes excellent with soya sauce 9/10

There is another dish that contains rice and is wrapped in a beancurd skin. It's one of the nicest beancurd options available. Not sure what its called but its amazing! It does not need to be ordered separately as its usually on the "moving trays beside the tables" 9/10

Royal Chocolate: One of the nicest dessert options. Chocolate was rich and melts in the mouth 8/10

Cheese Mochi: I couldnt wait to try this dessert! It was pretty hard to cut through the mochi. The cheese in it was creamy and light. A nice way to end the meal 8/10

Fried Tofu: Nothing spectacular about this dish and I am guessing this is silken tofu as it crumbles very easily 7/10

Vegetable Tempura: This is really crispy and contains all kinds of vegetables. One of a kind 8/10

Japanese Green Tea: This is indeed not Japanese! tastes like seaweed; quite gross. I have bought authentic Japanese green tea and this cannot stand as comparison.

I decided to get the Sakae Card right after the meal!

We went to send relatives off at the airport so before that we had dinner at Changi Airport's Sakae Sushi with them. We ordered sushi and ramen. Their ramen is awesome. Love their soup and the weird large spoon they provide as cutlery. I had terriyaki ramen noodles. I nv changed my order whenever i decide to have ramen at sakae sushi. the terriyaki chicken is soft and tender, the udon has a soft and smooth texture. the soup is pleasant, not very salty for me.

I was very surprised that the quality of the sushi is so bad. The ambience and the "technology" is fun but otherwise the quality of the food is not very good. You can choose to order from a computer next to the table. There is a hot water tap at the table too. The "green tea" is very disappointing as it is NOT Japanese green tea. It is China green tea. The sushi available wasn't impressive either. In the end, the food and drinks were not worth the price at all. And they do not serve coffee! Sushi Tei is much better.

sakae sushi buffet with friends for supper~

sadly sometimes some item are out of stocks..

and of course i do hope to see improvement

its worth for student price for normal days..

overall worth it

Alright, I really like this place mainly because they cater for vegetarians too. I never expected this etanary to be veggie friendly, especially since its basically a sushi restaurant but how wrong I was. There are a couple of really decent sides for vegetarians. These include the tofu sides, tofu with mushroom sides, mushroom tempura sides as well as one other side which was the vegetarian version of sushi! The veggie's were fresh and the fruits they included into the wrap made it sweet. It tastes more appetizing then it looks! credits to my boyfriend for the suggestions

Had sushi and some small bites for dinner. Love their salmon sashimi served with an ice pack. It is fresh, cold and juicy! Okonomiyaki is wonderful too. It is hot and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, topped with mayonnaise and sweet sauce. Also had chocolate ice cream for dessert, It is nice and there's hearts in it too. Cool...

There is this Meiji Cup ice cream sold in Sakae Sushi. You can find it under their dessert menu. They have strawberry, chocolate and blueberry if i'm not mistaken. I love their chocolate and strawberry ones. Every spoon i took, there are always 4 hearts on top. It looked very lovely and special as i have not seen any ice cream like this before. Try it !!
