Uni Gallery by OosterBay welcomes a new addition to the culinary team, Chef Jayden who has over a decade of experience in Japanese restaurants, particularly in the art of binchotan grilling. With him joining the team, alongside Sashimi Master Chef Chua, they have put together a new 7-Course Omakase Menu ($88) and expand the menu to offer binchotan grilled dishes.
Hyogo Oyster Shot 4/5
The 7-Course Omakase Menu kickstarted with the huge and plump Hyogo Oyster Shot. It is rich, briny, and slightly sweet with a creamy finish.
Sashimi Platter 4 Types 4/5
Next is the Sashimi Platter which comprising Chutoro, Kinmedai, Kampachi and Hotaru-Ika. While you only get a slice each, they are fresh and thickly cut for a satisfying enjoyment.
Grill Scallop in Shell Binchotan 3.8/5
With the expanded menu to include binchotan grilled dishes, the omakase also comes with binchotan item such as the Grill Scallop in Shell, which beautifully showcase the scallop's sweetness.
Foie Gras with Asparagus 4/5
Next is the rich and melt in the mouth pan-seared Foie Gras with Asparagus. Half way to the 7-course menu, we already had oyster, sashimi, scallop and foie gras. With all these luxurious ingredients, I think it is already value for money.
Grilled Tiger Prawn with Miso Sauce Binchotan 3.8/5
Another item from the binchotan is the Grilled Tiger Prawn with Miso Sauce. The firm and bouncy tiger prawn is perfectly grilled infushed with the smokey aroma.
Uni Ice Somen 3.8/5
Spectacularly presented in an ice block is the Uni Ice Somen with uni in a dashi broth. It is very refreshing, zested upwith the addition of yuzu and lime.
A5 Wagyu with Uni Cream Donburi 4/5
Not to worry if you are not full, as the A5 Wagyu with Uni Cream Donburi will fill you up. The fluffy rice comes with tender and fatty A5 wagyu bind together by the the unami uni cream.
Vanilla Ice Cream with Red Bean Dessert 3/5
Wrapping up the 7-course omakase menu is the Vanilla Ice Cream with Red Bean for dessert. A simple dessert to wrap up the value for money omakase.
Yasai Yaki Moriwase 3.5/5
Besides the omakase menu, we also tried some of the new binchotan dishes such as the Yasai Yaki Moriwase comprising Mountain Yam, Eggplant, and Green Pepper.
Sazae Tsubuyaki 4/5
The Sazae Tsubuyaki (Japanese Sea Shell) made an impressive entry by grilling the savoury delicacy in its own shell in dashi stock and shimeji mushrooms. offering a symphony of rich and complex flavours. Separately a pot of dashi stock is served at the side which you can drink like a soup.
Note: This is an invited tasting.
