Mrupupup first time tried out Sushi Express (food chain originated from Taiwan) located at Citylink Mall (#B1-23 - near to adidas sports store), Singapore. Why first time? Because the queue is very long! That friday evening- Mrupupup got to brave the queue for 45 minutes and find out why the place was so popular. Mrupupup could find two reasons for Sushi Express's popularity - cheap and decent sushi & sashimi. Where to find in Singapore $1.50 plates for all Japanese conveyor belt food?  Sushi Express had salmon sashimi, sushi of various types and many more..... All the dishes at $1.50 per plate (excluding service charges). Mrupupup just ate about 15 plates of sushi express! Too much salmon in Mrupupup's belly, burp! Nice prawn sashimi - quite sweet & fresh All Sushi at $1.50 Conveyor belt sushi Look at the pinkish fresh salmon Rows of salmon sushi - fresh on the conveyor belt Full house @ Sushi Express
