9-piece Nigiri Sushi ($59)
As my pal was celebrating his 70th birthday yesterday with a staycation at Marina Bay Sands, I decided we should have dinner with him + wifey at ‘Sen of Japan’ located within MBS. Was it a “self-invite” to someone’s birthday celebration? It might have been! Muahaha! Since I’d ordered his birthday present from overseas many months ago, I felt it should be presented to him on his birthday, period. And I’ll throw in cake and a dinner treat too.
Sen of Japan is a lovely Japanese restaurant with a menu “designed by Chef Nakano Hiromi, who used to head the famous NOBU at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Las Vegas”. We truly have no complaints about the ambiance, the tempura, the sushi, the cod, the view, and the service! Feast your eyes on the pictures, if you will…
The Carbless Roll ($26)
Such a brilliant idea! A sushi roll without any rice! It tasted as delightful as it looked! I would certainly order this again. Actually, I just might try making this at home myself! I can find all the ingredients at the FairPrice Finest store at Waterway Point!
Black Cod Soy ($29.50)
Apparently, their Black Cod Soy is FAMOUS! And I’d say this is a MUST-ORDER dish. The flavors are so well-infused into that slab of fish that I can truly feel content just having this dish of cod with plain porridge. Haha! I absolutely LOVE cod fish – one of the most expensive fish you can find in a supermarket.
Spicy Salmon & Salmon Roll ($17.50)
Really, really compact pieces of salmon roll. It’s like an appetiser dish – not about to fill your stomach much. Unless you drink lots of that (refillable) hot green tea at $5 per pax.
And we also had a dish of tempura – Tempura Moriwase ($19.50) – which the birthday boy wanted.
Gorgeous pieces of tempura which looked like they had been air-fried. Couldn’t see any sign of oil, which is great!

I’m not sure what it’s like to be 70 years old. I’m guessing it may be considered a privilege because not many people get to live till 70 and still enjoy overall good health. And we had a rather healthy dinner at Sen at Japan too! *Chocolate cake was waiting for us in the hotel room. Haha! Also, I asked my pal for some ‘life lessons’ to share in a blogpost, and you’ll read about it on my blog in a bit!
