The disappointing Sushi Escape
25
November
If you ask me what can I do if I visit to Brunei, I can only say nothing much to do but Sushi is the one not to be missed! ERrr.. since the fuel price is no longer cheap there 
So this is where the most happening Sushi Escape in Brunei, which called Escapade. Have you ever tried?
I bring my friend of Korea, *ane-aseyo* to try out the very famous Japanese Food in Bandar Seri Begawan. It is a Sunday Afternoon, as usual the restaurant is pack with people.
I had my “Tamago” , ya its just ordinary egg 
And the very friendly Indonesian Waiter introduce us the Japanese Crab Stick Sushi.
It’s another “sigh”…. cos its nothing special.. just the crab stick you had usually.
My friend who loves Salmon ordered the Salmon Salad Sushi
and the Salmon Fine Cheese. Hmm, taste Fine if you love cheese.
Unagi Sushi… which taste very awful.
I just dunno how to describe.
Hotate Butter Yaki.. consist of scallop and golden mushroom!
But hey.. this is the most delicious among all!
hahaha.. luckily out of 6 dishes there’s still 1 that can satisfied my need!
As appertizer, we had this Macha Icecream with Red Bean. Oh well, its just Green Tea Ice Cream.
Anyhow, it’s a pleasant trip that me and my friend enjoyed it so much. Although its a bit tiring driving so far to try out the awfully taste sushi, but still its worth cos we explored to the Empire Hotel later.

You went to the Gadong branch? That one is not so nice la. Better go to the one in Kiulap or KB..

windwalker: Sushi King is a bit too commercialized I think and pretty much lost its authentic Japanese taste. :/

Excapade has always been overrated in my opinion. Yah, its a popular place to chill out and have sushi but if you are after cheap sushi in Brunei, Sushi Tei in Gadong ALWAYS have discounts or cheap buffets. If you’re looking for quality and fresh sushi, Kaizen Sushi in Kiarong or Seria is best. =) I’ve been to Japan before so I know Kaizen’s prawn tempura and udon tastes the closest to what you’ll find in Japan.
Dear liz, mind to share with me the way to get to the Sushi Tei and also Kaizen Sushi?
I would like to explore some day..

If you’re coming from Miri, Kaizen Sushi in Seria is closer. As you pass through the Brunei toll, just drive straight ahead for 15 minutes until you reach Seria, the oil town. Kaizen Sushi is on the first floor of one of shophouses next to Plaza Seria. If I’m not mistaken, downstairs is a goldsmith shop. You can see a couple of Japanese lanterns hanging at the staircase entrance. They are rarely as crowded as Excapade Sushi with a brighter atmosphere. Lots of good choices on the menu but they’re missing the drinks and dessert menu which is a bit weird. But just say what you want to drink and they’ll most likely have it.
Sushi Tei is in Gadong. If you’ve been to Excapade Sushi in Gadong, Sushi Tei is located on the opposite block. Can’t comment much about the food but the 20-30% lunchtime discount is always appealing.
Another nice sushi restaurant, Takara Restaurant, is in Gadong, right behind the Centrepoint Hotel. This one is a bit hidden, I have to make a full circle of the building before I can find it. Not much choices on the menu but since its pretty isolated, the atmosphere there is very peaceful.
I can go on and on about the other sushi places since we Bruneians tend to love our food more, that’s why so many choices. Excapade has already gone crazy with their 5 branches. XD
ah .. liz, thanks so much for your info, I’ll wait till my bf come here then we go for food hunt at brunei. Thanks again ya!
