After a few moments of glancing though the signages/ ad spaces at the lobby of the Circle Tower (永光中心), we decided on Sushi Mori. The photo ad was a simple photo of a piece of sushi. That photo, told us, a lot. That photo, of the piece of sushi, have a carefully selected piece of fish (can tell instantly the fish was of fine quality) on top of a good portion (not too much, not too little) of brown sushi rice.

That photo, told us, a lot. That photo, of the piece of sushi, have a carefully selected piece of fish (can tell instantly the fish was of fine quality) on top of a good portion (not too much, not too little) of brown sushi rice. Yes, we instantly knew that we were stepping up that night.
We walked in and 2 tables were taken with one on each side of the resto. We decided to sit at the end of the sushi bar over watching the action.
After carefully scanning through the menu, my partner and I decided to opt out their tasting set menu and went for a la carte. We went for the assorted sashimi, uni steamed egg, winter crab hot pot soup, miso soup and pork belly with spring onion/ ginger.
It is always fun to watch experienced sushi chef at work. The assorted sashimi platter arrived beautifully with 7 kinds of sea creatures in a pair serving.
It was absolutely amazing. Wow. The platter was fresh, very fresh. I recommend staying away from dipping soy sause or wasabi as then you can taste and enjoy the fish.
Uni was fresh and flavourful. I would thou like to have a bit more of the steamed egg as there were other ingredients within the egg (making the steamed egg part even less). I felt that there just isn't enough egg to contrast and complement the uni.
Pork belly with spring onion/ ginger was well made. Thou pork belly was chewy (coz of the marble of fat and a tad under cooked), it was very fresh and flavourful. The spring onion/ ginger complemented the belly very well.
Crab hot pot - crab was fresh and soup was yummy.
Miso - got left out and coz the rest were being taken care of, we sort of left the miso unattended and it got cold.
Hot tea were served thoughout and service was attentive.
Will definitely try their sushi next time. Highly recommend Sushi Mori to those whom want good quality Japanese sashimi/ sushi.
