sensei sushi

Presenting! A load of photos from my delicious meal at Sensei Sushi. I've been hearing about this place a lot and seeing it on my Instagram feed, so my sisters, mom and I decided to try it out yesterday. 

Even though we went on a Wednesday during lunch (and expected there to be little customers), we decided to make a reservation just in case. When we got to the place, we realised that no reservations were needed. The place was empty. But little did we know that because we reserved, Chef Bruce made himself available to serve us. Now that made our trip to Sensei more interesting! More expensive, too.

We didn't know what to order because the food on the menu and on the restaurant board were familiar, but were slightly different takes on the usual Japanese dishes. We wanted to try all without having to order each dish and finishing with tons of leftover. So.. we left it up to the chef! He whipped up an unli-course meal filled with dishes of what he felt were the restaurant's best sellers and what he personally felt like making at the moment. He said that when we start feeling full, we just have to say stop. The problem was.. even if we did feel full, we all refused to say we've had enough and still kept asking for more.

What we were served:

Tuna Cubes. The first and favorite!

White Shrimp Ceviche

Tuna Tartare

Fresh Oyster

Seared Hamachi

Pig Head Katsu

Lambtaco

The palette cleanser (forgot what was in it)

More Hamachi

Spicy Tuna

Roasted Sea Bass with Aligue rice

Rib-eye steak with ponzu, butter and truffle oil

I don't remember exactly what this is called, but I remember it having some frozen cheesecake.

Chef Bruce's inconsistent Lava Cake

At first, Chef Bruce mentioned that he didn't really like making Japanese food. He said that his Jap style actually went against the traditional Japanese style of cooking, which got me less excited because I was really craving for traditional Japanese. But once we started eating, I didn't even care. Everything was all too delicious. Too good, that we really didn't want to stop! So much flavour bursting out of just one dish that we were all left mmm-ing and wow-ing after each one. And even though Chef Bruce's style is a bit different, I was still able to get my Jap fix.. and more! Definitely so much better than I expected.

If you decide to check this place out, I recommend you give them a call and ask to be served by Chef Bruce. It really is so much better when you get to see and hear about the food you're about to eat. Aside from that, you get to hear about the Chef's interesting life story and experiences while indulging in his mouth-watering creations.
