The conveyer belt sushi chain quietly made the change this month, and their website has yet to be updated with the new prices.
TikTok user @jennnncera posted a video lamenting the price change about a week ago:

Twitter user @hyoribo_m3lly also noted the shrinkflation that's been going on:
Sushi Express have really lost their way. Now they are introducing black plates which is at $2 instead of $1.50.

That is after reducing the number of salmon sashimi slices to 2 from the previous 3. Technically you are paying 2 times more than before.#SushiExpress pic.twitter.com/kSMt7cYpWz
Math time
In the good ol' days, salmon sashimi at Sushi Express cost S$1.50++ for three slices, which works out to S$1.77 a plate, or S$0.59 a slice.
Now, at S$2++ for two slices, it's about S$1.18 per slice.
That's a twofold increase. Sad.
