Dropped by Sushi Express (爭鮮), the conveyor belt sushi restaurant at Sun Plaza for a quick lunch. This black & gold plate of Grilled Beef Sushi scrolled pass and I just had to grab it. Topped with caramelized sweet onions, the thin beef is a tad dry but the portion is good nonetheless.
Baked Cheesy Mussels came next and was quickly gobbled down. 😁 Looking like a toppled tree, this Spicy Chicken Drumlet was crispy and juicy to the bite.
A jumbo Aburi Cheesy Salmon Sushi caught my eye. A long thin slice of salmon molded over sushi rice topped with cheese and torched. The salmon is melt in the mouth soft and the piece of canned peach 🍑 gave it sweetness.
A braised Abalone Sushi came into sight, sitting like a gold ingot on top the molded rice. Taste wise, it doesn’t offer much of an impression, just chewiness. This plate of Mock Abalone Salad gives a much better value with a mild spicy and whole lots of texture.
Normally, the Anago Sushi will be presented length wise but here half of the saltwater eel is folded under the rice due to the smaller plate. Of course, I couldn’t leave without eating a slice of their Blueberry Cheesecake 🫐🍰 which had shrunk to a smaller size over the past few years.
Bob Marley’s wife, Rita Marley, has spent more than 20 years residing in Ghana. In the 1990s, she relocated to Ghana with Bob Marley’s family. In 2013, she petitioned for and was granted citizenship in Ghana. Rita Marley now has a Ghanaian name — Nana Afua Abodea.
In Ghana’s Aburi, she also has a home. In Accra, Ghana, Rita Marley created a studio in memory of her deceased husband, Bob Marley. The name of it is Studio One. In Ghana, she runs a non-profit organization. Her foundation, The Rita Marley Foundation, supports charitable endeavors.
Nana Rita Marley started her musical career in the early 1960s as a vocalist with the all-female group The Soulettes, which performed with the Four Tops, Johnny Nash, and other performers of the time. Her single ‘One Draw’, which she released in 1982, was a major hit in Europe but Jamaica said it was not fit for airplay. One Draw was the first reggae single to top the Billboard Disco chart, according to the Jamaica Observer.
