Early Dinner

After my first visit to Empire Sushi @The Starling, I have been back on two occasions. Both times were for an early dinner. These days I eat my dinner early

I like Empire Sushi because I find the food acceptable and I like ordering using a tablet. Tekan-tekan, enter and the food comes via a mini train hee..hee... The only problem is that the song that plays when the train is approaching nee..naa...naa.. nee...naa...naa... gets into my head and even when I reach home I hear this song! Arrgh!!!

Because they open all day it is very convenient for me to walk in at anytime of day when I need a Japanese fix. Another plus point is they accept credit cards. These days I seldom go to "cash only" places. I like to conserve cash and not have to top up my purse every now and then.

One day, for reasons unknown, I wanted Japanese curry. I am OK with Japanese curry, not crazy about it since it ain't nowhere near awesome like Indian curry.

It was one of the set meals and I chose the one with chicken karaage.

The chicken was not crispy and tasted nothing like the usual Japanese fried chicken that I like. The curry was too strong with the curry powder and it was overwhelming. 

I was a bit greedy and got a side dish of salmon mentai. I'm afraid it was not good. Very dry.

Another day, I decided to try the soft shell crab salad.

The dressing was a roasted sesame dressing. Not bad.

Just salad was not enough so I had two other dishes.

The unagi kabayaki was very nice. 

While the salmon temaki was nothing special. I'm sorry I can't remember the prices but as you know, Japanese ain't cheap. So I shall not come back so often.
