EXCAPADE SUSHI. COMING OF AGE.
November 27, 2007 by Jan Shim
If there ever was such a thing as a sure thing, Excapade Sushi seems to have hit the nail squarely on the head with its full repertoire of Japanese Cuisine. Helped by Brunei’s seemingly insatiable appetite for Japanese food, Excapade Sushi turns 6 in March 2008 with its humble beginnings at what is still a cozy outlet in Kiulap.
Here’s a sneak peek at what you can expect to see in their new menu, scheduled to make its appearance sometime in December. Being a great fan of Japanese food myself, the opportunity to shoot what may be the most-read menu in the culinary business today was incredible!

You had to do it again…. Man, you got me hungry again!!

That looks like nothing we have over here. Would love to try it
Man, I can’t wait to see this on the menu, and tell my mom “I know the guy who shot these!”, hehe. =D
Absolutely in love with the first shot, is it the cod fish? it’s my one of my fav dish dude! an intense gaze on it make me drool.. xD
Also in love with the 5th and 6th shots, those shot from top. =) Yummy.. =D
I am not a Japanese food fan but although I have been dragged to Excapade too many times, I have never been excited about perusing the old menu as very few dishes appeals to me.
And I hate to admit this but I am now tempted to try that dish in the first picture.
I can only say….. “I am salivating!!!”
hahaha….. my eyes widen when i saw salmon….
WHY LIKE THAT…. HOW COME WHEN I GO THERE IT NEVER LOOK AS GOOD AS YOUR PHOTO…..
