Conveyor Belt Sushi @ Sushi Don

These conveyor sushi belt places are really awesome. Love the way the plates of different yummy food go by one by one and it's not possible to resist the temptation to take this plate, that plate, the next one and the one after that! And I always end up having way too many plates. Just can't help myself. There are several choices for us to choose from but thanks to a good friend Mag who introduced me to Sushi Don, Slawek and I usually go there for good handrolls. They also have Thai and Korean dishes but we have my top picks from there that are must haves and they are usually the Japanese items. There is one Sushi Don at Funan Mall (along North Bridge Road) and another along Rendezvous Hotel (opposite where SOTA's campus will be at).

The handrolls are really good. I don't like the ones at Sakae Sushi cuz they tend to be rather stingy on the fillings and it's always a battle when I bite into the handroll as the seaweed sheet is so tough. But at Sushi Don, the seaweed sheets that they use are fresh and crispy and it's such a joy to sink our teeth into them. What I usually go for are their spider handroll (soft shell crab) and their salmon skin handroll. The others are just as good.

I have never been a fan of raw salmon and yes, I have been missing out on the good stuff. I usually like my salmon grilled but when we were at Sushi Don the last time, I finally tried one from Slawek's plate and yes, I LOVED IT. The above dish was so pretty to look at that I had to try one and no regrets. But at the moment, I can have about two pieces of the raw salmon maximum and am still enjoying the taste. Am not sure if I can handle anymore than that for now. Maybe will sneak in another piece the next time I am there and see how that goes.

Another favourite of ours is their unagi. The unagi sushi that they serve are generous in portion and are really moist. Am just drooling looking at the picture that we took from our last visit *grins*.

Other things that I would have would be their fried white bait, fried calamari, chawamushi and loads of other stuff that I didn't take pictures of. Just way too many plus it will reveal what a glutton I am! Am a carnivore but when I feel like having some greens, I like munching on these Japanese beans and they are so easy to make at home too. But I usually end up having them when we're at Sushi Don and I am feeling guilty about not having any veggies in my meal.

Anyways, if you're in the area and feel like having some conveyor belt sushi, give Sushi Don a try and you must try their handrolls. The staff there are really nice too and oh yes, don't place the plastic cover back on the belt. The staff there will come by and take it from you. So just put it to the side for them to pick up. Price wise? For the coloured plates, the prices range from $1.90 to $6.90 (red premium plates) . It's really not too bad and we feel that it's good value for money. Here's one last picture to help whet your appetite. By the way, what's the Japanese version of Bon Appetit?
