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.

Expresso at ExpressoLab

After our return from Lumut, we caught up again with Dina and her family plus other friend to celebrate her birthday. It seemed that she was fond of Great Eastern Mall as again she came all the way across town, similar to when she had the party for Moez's birthday.

The venue for the afternoon meetup was a cafe on the first floor of the mall, called ExpressoLab. Yes, they did serve expresso there. But I don't take strong stuff in the afternoon, so it was iced mocha for me instead.

They also serve light snack and lunch. Limited number of items but they served them well. Anita was well impressed with her toasted sandwiches and my pasta was quite nice too. Or maybe because we were hungry at the time.

Nice ambiance and the price was very reasonable. Away from the at times snobbish Alexis crowd. Well worth a stop.

Happy Birthday Moez

Dina and Azmel Azmil had been married for many years and only last year, they had been blessed by a son. And it was worth the wait.

Moez is a lovely boy. And he turned one yesterday. We were at his party at a playgym at Great Eastern Mall. He was too young to join still, but he appeared excited.

Irfan didn't want to go, but Idlan did. The rest of the children who came were too young for him, so he stayed with us, charming the other mothers...

One thing I had to point out was the food. They were excellent. The mains may be generic, but the kueh were to die for! Those were mainly brought by Azmel's Azmil's Mum.

Are they doing the chicken dance?Idlan taking a breather and hung around with the clownBefore trying the balloon himself And this popiah was something elseDefinitely one of the better parties I attended for ages. ‎

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.
