Expressushi No More

Our favourite little sushi joint has moved on. They were no longer at Great Eastern Mall. The branch was now about 5 minutes away at a condominium complex. One of Anita's friend lives at the condo and last month, Anita and Idlan went to have a quick meal there.

Yesterday, while we were at the GE Mall where Irfan had his tooth filling done, we stopped by to see what was going on with the old venue.

It had now been renovated and taken over by a sundae shop called Squeeze Me Baby! Idlan was curious. We should've had a sample but he stood in awe instead and then left. No squeezing there...

EdpressSushi is Moving

I knew that I will be craving it during the upcoming Ramadhan, so I decided to indulge for lunch today at the usual spot at Great Eastern Mall.

The place was full today, being a Sunday lunch time, and we were also informed that our beloved EdpressSushi will be moving to another spot - which happened to be where one of our friend was living - after Raya later. They had been at the spot since 2009. Not sure if we could go there as frequently as we were doing now since the current shop was directly in front of the supermarket where we sometimes do our groceries. Kinda tied in with our routine.

I think he's trying to break the tip jar!Anyhow, they had to move on. Maybe once in a while we would drop by to catch up. The boys were still babies when they started going there.

Back to Express Sushi

The last time I went to Express Sushi must have been about a year ago. Busy work schedule and the location of Great Eastern Mall combined to keep it at that.

So, I returned for dinner there last night and it looked like the place had changed a bit. The menu stayed the same, and so was the food quality.

Still the potato salad is the BOMB!Not much difference from before but the eating area was now more comfortable. Would still recommend the place.

Sushi Lunch

It had been a while since we been to Express Sushi at Great Eastern Mall. I had been writing and raving about the place since 2009, and this afternoon, my boys asked for their chicken teriyaki from the place. The food was still as good and fresh.

I had my belly and beef udon, while the boys had their usual. It took us a while waiting for Idlan to finish his bowl of rice. Good thing that we came early since we had to rush across town next for his swimming lesson.

Over the years, the quality had declined somewhat, although the ingredients were still fresh. The owner has since opened a restaurant at a golf club in town, and the main chef had since moved there. There was definitely a subtle change in the taste, but compared to other - often overrated - restaurants, this place was still hard to beat.

Usually, the journey from GE Mall to Bukit Kiara would take less than 20 minutes. Unfortunately, we were caught in the queue to get into PWTC for the MATTA. We just made it in time.

Return to Express Sushi

It has been a while since I visited Express Sushi at Great Eastern Mall, arguably the best sushi fast-food outlet in town. Miles better the more accessible Yo! Sushi at least. Since coming here a couple of years ago, the main chef - Eric has been busy with another of their outlet. There was a period last year that the quality went down a bit, but today it was almost back to when I first came.

The ramen for startersSince it was just a quick stop, we had to be quick. They now have a lunch menu which came in handy. My set - salmon teriyaki set - came with ramen, potato salad and a bowl of rice. Not bad for RM26 actually.

And the mains has arrivedBut they were soon goneThe outlet is located on the Lower Ground Floor of Great Eastern Mall, next to Delifrance.
