D recommended "Sushi Mori" for dinner. So I hit it up on OR and found a couple of identically named restaurants. I booked this one, thinking it was the right one. But no, apparently D was referring to the one at Caroline Hill Road. Took a bad risk. Environmentecent. There is a sushi counter with about 10 seats, and quite a number of tables for parties of 4+. We had a nice cubicle which comfotably seated a party of 5. It is not noisy (Sunday dinner). Nice, simple Jap furnishing. Service: Decent.
Took a bad risk.
Environment:
Decent. There is a sushi counter with about 10 seats, and quite a number of tables for parties of 4+. We had a nice cubicle which comfotably seated a party of 5. It is not noisy (Sunday dinner). Nice, simple Jap furnishing.
Service:
Decent. Tea was filled reguarly. However, servers could have been better informed about the types of sashimi that were served.
Food:
Puffer fish jerky
Yum. Just like any other meaty jerky, but less meaty in flavor...yeah. Accompanied by QP mayo, yumyum. Balanced sweet/savory marinade.
Chopped fatty tuna rolls
Interestingly, the rice was brown. I think I prefer white pearl rice which is more chewy and..just suits sushi better. Not remarkable.
Mackerel nigiri
I was too ambitious, not ready for this yet. The flavour was quite strong and fishy. I have yet to develop the taste for this fish.
"Red meat tuna" nigiri
Nice! But I didn't get why the rice is brown. I think the flavour was somewhat affected by the rice. I think the rice wasn't "sticky" enough.
Tamago
This tamago was like an eggy, dense sponge cake. It was more sweet than savory and more cake-like than egg-like. I did not expect it to be this way and I prefer the more traditional tamago. This would almost qualify for a dessert.
Unagi (eel) don
Bad. The star of the show - eel - was extremely rubbery and much of it could not be eaten. It was slightly fishy as well - and didn't have the pleasant grilled flavour that I expected. I thought the sauce would be pretty standard fare but somehow this one managed to be sub par. The rice was well-cooked, but there wasn't enough sauce. I would never order this dish here again - if you want decent Unagi don, go to Sushi Kuu (Central M88). We had a much better experience there, consistently too.
Stirfried bitter gourd + tofu + egg + pork
The bitter gourd was, honest to its name, bitter. It was mediocre. Can order.
Stir fried mixed vegetables
Excellent dish - a mix of cabbage, carrots, shimeji, enoki. Perfectly seasoned. Not too salty, cabbage was just the right crunch. So good that we ordered an encore.
Grilled miso cod
The grilled miso cod was well-marinated and tasted fine. The shallow fried veggies served alongside the fish were yummy too - sweet potato and yam(?). However, the fish was not oily enough which resulted in a slightly rougher texture. Sushi Kuu's was better. But this is fine - not bad.
Mixed sashimi
Did not try - nor did I hear amazing reviews.
Wagyu + eggplant fry up
Waaay too oily. Eggplant tasted good but was completely immersed in oil; the wagyu was tender and thick cut. I don't really fancy beef so this dish did not impress me.
Grilled yellowtail collar
Not bad - there was a fair amount of meat to be shared, and it was not fishy. Not outstanding - not a must-get. It is not on the menu though, so you must ask about availability.
Oxtail skewers
Did not try.
Chicken skewers
This was quite yummy! The chicken was juicy, tender and the sauce drizzled on top was sweet with syrupy consistency. Recommended.
Conclusion:
I would visit another restaurant for dinner because what we had was not worth $500 pax. There are dinner sets that go up to $1800 pax...
