Morita Unigoro @ Stanley Street - An Exclusive 1-for-1 Six-course Dinner at $298++

MoritaUnigoro22

Osaka’s acclaimed uni omakase specialist Morita UNIGORO at Stanley Street launches an exclusive 1-for-1 six-course dinner at $298++, available daily for dinner until 31 July 2025. This limited-time offering presents a more accessible way to enjoy the restaurant’s premium uni-focused omakase, showcasing Hokkaido sea urchin alongside seasonal Japanese ingredients.

Duo Sashimi 4.8/5

Our first course is a sashimi dish featuring two different cuts of tuna - Chutoro and Otoro. To enhance the enjoyment of the fatty tuna, diners can pair it with the accompanying sea salt and wasabi.

New "Uniku" (Uni & Meat) 5/5

The next course is the New "Uniku" comprising Uni and Meat. The A5 Wagyu Uchimomo (top round) is slightly torched and served together with egg yolk and uni. The three ingredients seem unassociated or unrelated, but when you have them all together, the combination of flavour and texture is out of this world. It was almost heavenly, deliciously good.

Tempura Scallop with Uni 4.5/5

Following that, we were served the Tempura Scallop with Uni. The plump and juicy scallop was lightly coated in a delicate, crispy batter, perfectly complementing the creamy sweetness of the uni. A touch of roasted seaweed tied all the elements together, enhancing both the aroma and umami, making for another beautifully executed and well-balanced dish.

The highlight of the six-course dinner is the Signature Uni Hot Pot. The hot pot comes with premium ingredients, including Uni, Lobster, Clam, Abalone, A5 Wagyu Beef Ribeye, Japanese Pork Belly, and Vegetables.

Signature Uni Hot Pot 4.8/5

The hot pot is brought to a boil, with uni added to the broth. Parmesan and olive oil are further added to elevate the taste profile. The ingredients are top-notch quality, too. The clam was the biggest I had ever seen and eaten; it was as big as my palm. The other highlight is the melt-in-the-mouth A5 wagyu.

Uni Mixed Rice 4.2/5

To fill one's up, the last savoury course is the Uni Mixed Rice. The rice was fluffy and well-infused with the robust flavour from the uni. My only complaint is that the portion is too small. I don't understand why the restaurant is reluctant to offer a larger portion or provide diners with the option to choose a different-sized portion of rice to their preference.

Homemade Granita 3.5/5

Last but not least, we wrapped up the meal on a sweet and refreshing note. The Homemade Granita was ideal after all the richness.

LeVeL33 @ MBFC Tower 1 - New Look, New Menu & New Concept

Level33_3

LeVeL33 at MBFC Tower 1 has undergone a revamp of its space, streamlining the restaurant into 3 sections. They are LeVeL33 Dining Room, LeVel33 Social and Terrace. The new layout also allows diners to enjoy the spectacular view over the Marina Bay and some of Singapore's most iconic landmarks from the top of the building from different sections of the restaurant.

Level33_1
Housemade Spent Grain Bread 4/5

With the revamp, the dining concept at LeVeL33 has also changed slightly. Over at the LeVeL33 Dining Room, it offers set course menus ranging from $68 to $135. As at LeVel33 Social, the food is more casual. My visit brought me to the dining room. True to its root of a microbrewery, we started our dinner with some complimentary Housemade Bread made using spent grains that are used to brew their beer.

Level33_5
Pre-Course Snacks 3/5

Next is the Pre-Course Snacks. Starting from left to right is Nori Cracker, Gougere and Spent Grain Ferments. The Nori Cracker is made by cooking risotto rice with spent grain and nori powder. It is then topped with Japanese sea urchin, cod roe dip, red vein sorrel and nori powder. As for the Gougere, it is a cheese choux pastry. The choux dough is mixed with gruyere cheese, malt powder and grated parmesan. Lastly, the Spent Grain Ferments come in the form of radish and olives fermented for 2 days using spent grain instead of rice bran.

Level33_7
Chawanmushi 4/5

The light and silky smooth Chawanmushi is steamed with housemade dashi infused with LeVel33's wheat beer. Digging into the eggshell, one can find oscietra caviar, shiitake and spring onion in it.

Level33_9
Kingfish Sashimi 4.2/5

I am glad to see the Kingfish Sashimi back on the new menu. It was one of my favourite dishes in the previous menu. The kingfish is cured with the lager beer and served with pickled cucumber, nori & spent grain sand, marinated tapioca sago, tapioca sago chips, cucumber juice, seaweed oil and fresh dill. The whole execution is well thought out, allowing the main ingredient to shine, complemented by the supporting components in the dish.

Level33_10
Fresh Ricotta 4/5

The Fresh Ricotta is made freshly daily. Lemon and orange peel is added, giving the creamy ricotta a zesty finishing. It is served with tri-colour trio of hickory-smoked tomatoes and drizzled with housemade tomato-malt vinegar dressing and basil oil for the sweet note.

Level33_12
Squid Noodles 3.5/5

The Squid Noodles is an interesting dish in which fresh Malaysian squid are thinly shaved into noodle strap. This is served together in a seafood consomme with asparagus, peas, enoki and wakame. I like the idea, but I thought the length of the squid noodles is not substantial to be labelled as a noodle.

Level33_17
Spent Grain Linguine 4/5

For a noodle dish, the Spent Grain Linguine will be more substantial and satisfying compared to the squid noodles. The long housemade pasta is tossed in a butter sauce with nori and wakame, finished off with shavings of summer truffle. What makes this slurping good is the buttery and creamy sauce that is packed with depth.

Level33_14
Aged Duck Breast 4.8/5

The highlight for dinner is the house aged meats. The night brightened up with the Aged Duck Breast glazed with LeVeL33's IPA and orange juice, served with grilled endives and duck jus. The beautiful piece of red meat is tender and packed with intense flavour. What is awesome is the layer of crispy skin that has been air-dried to achieve the texture.

Level33_16
Wagyu Tri-tip 4.8/5

You do need any fancy form of cooking when you have a piece of beautiful aged Westholme beef. Simply seasoned, the Wagyu Tri-tip is allowed to shine brightly on its own paired with burnt eggplant puree, grilled garlic shoots and veal jus.

Level33_20
 Sheep Milk Yoghurt with Dragonfruit and Beetroot Granita

For dessert, we have the Sheep Milk Yoghurt with Dragonfruit and Beetroot Granita. The sheep milk yoghurt comes in a creamy block that is complemented by the icy and refreshing dragonfruit and beetroot granita.

It is definitely great to be back at LeVeL33 with its refreshed new look and layout. I had enjoyed Chef ArChan previous menu when she just joined the restaurant. For the new menu, I find that she has the time to really do what she wants, incorporating more beer-centric dishes into the menu. She even aged her own meats now which is a must-try here.

Note: This is an invited tasting.
