Sushi Tei

Its weird why they sit themselves at such an odd location- out beside the taxi stand in Ngee Ann City. Most of the seats here are along the conveyor belt, so dad and i didn't have much of a choice.

Frankly speaking, i just have something against that food travellator. Freshness is the key to good sushi but those taken from the belt are often cold and stale. And you'll never know how many million rounds that inappetising sushi had actually gone through before entering your stomach. what a bad idea.

If you think ordering them instead would make things better, i'm afraid to say it is not. my attempt was futile when the waitress grabbed my order off that undesirable belt and served it to my face. Same fate.


Baked Salmon Maki ($2.80)

Without a doubt, my mini makis were far from fresh, and as cold as i can expect. It felt terrible chewing stiff rice with tasteless minced salmon. eeyer.


Thankfully, my next order saved the day.


Kani & Avocado Salad ($8)

Fresh wet crunchy greens and mushy avocado tasted so complementary with their light wafu dressing. Highlighting the dish were those 4 sticks of fresh crab meat.. tender but felt just like the crab stick imitations. I loved this refreshing match.



Salmon Shio ($9)

After 15 minutes of waiting, i had an excellently grilled salmon with the taste just right for me. The fillet's interior came cooked throughout, yet retaining its moisture and tenderness. Another good one.


Dad was satisfied with all his three choices. He was full of praise for that roe-topped steamed egg and fragrantly well-done beef patty. And at least his sushi came hot.


Ikura Chawanmushi ($7)


Aburi Salmon Sushi ($2.80)


Teriyaki Steak with Garlic ($12)

Another commendable aspect was the quality service. All their staffs spoke and greeted politely with many thankyous and welcomes amidst the interaction... i truly felt welcomed here.
