Standing Sushi Bar @ Queen Street (Near Singapore Art Museum)

Why do you think a standing sushi bar is named as such? The answer, i thought, should be simple; this is a place where you eat sushi while standing.

I am terribly wrong in my assumption. Though the setup is skewed towards a drinking crowd, i didn't have to stand while having sushi. To be honest, i doubt there is even space for standing.

Kaisen Sarada

Essentially seafood salad; you can hardly see the vegetables buried under layers of fresh seafood like salmon, prawn, squid, tuna, fish roes etc etc. The combination was naturally delicious with a dash of tentalising dressing!

California Maki

This is not comparable to the epic maki i had at Megumi and generated little interest from all of us.

Shake Aburi Maki

After the california maki, we were not expecting much from this shake aburi maki. The salmon meat had a half-cooked look and didn't appeal to me.

Megumi's maki, as i mentioned, is epic. This shake aburi maki is epic-er! The salmon was so tender and you could not resist that lightly roasted aroma. Each piece was a delight and i could not help but take a longer time to slowly absorb its epic essence. Yummy!

Itoyori Shio

My limited grasp on the Japanese language told me this fish (that had a really agonising face) has something to do with salt (shio is salt).

Itoyori, according to a google search, is "thick and meaty. It was really nice but given the high price tag of S$38, i would have preferred a kilogram of crab anytime.
