This week, we came across a Japanese restaurant, Omoté, tucked at one corner on the 3rd floor of Thomson Plaza. The restaurant was warmly-lit with spacious interior, industrial ceiling and concrete floorings. We ordered the Tamago-Mentai Chirashi and the Asian LadyBug Maki. *not a sponsored article*
Tamago-Mentai Chirashi ($26++)
Fans of chirashi can check out this dish! It had a generous amount of raw sashimi such as baby squid, salmon, tuna, octopus etc covering the bowl of white rice. Additionally, it came with 4 slices of tamago topped with mentaiko sauce. To complete the chirashi, spring onions, sesame seeds and a heapful amount of roe were added. The mentaiko sauce was creamy and had a slight flaming scent. The roe helped to enhance the flavour of the dish by adding an extra burst of sweetness to the dish. The varieties of sashimi were very fresh, chewy and melts in one’s mouth. A sweet sauce was also poured over the dish which made it even more umami!
Asian LadyBug Maki ($19++)
4 slices of maki arrived at our table. Each had a slice of bluefin tuna at the top of the sushi and the inside was wrapped with crispy deep-fried prawns. Do be aware that this dish can be a bit spicy due to the asian chillies added to the dark red sauce spread on the tuna. The tuna was very fresh, tender and had no strong scent of fishiness in it. Every bite of the sushi, crisp sounds could be heard due to the prawns inside it.
The Verdict
Omoté is a restaurant that offers a wide array of Japanese and fusion cuisine. The dishes can be on the pricier side but the ingredients, especially the sashimi are all high-quality and very fresh. They not only serve chirashi, maki rolls but they also serve cooked food to cater for those who do not fancy raw food. We recommend you to make a reservation before heading over to the restaurant as it can be very packed especially during peak hours. It is a popular place among the office workers especially during lunch hours.
