Wasabi By Morimoto

Review

Celebrity chef Masaharu Morimoto and the Taj group has collaborated to set up this restaurant. As much a modern Japanese restaurant as a showcase for Morimoto's own brand of flamboyant Japanese cuisine, it has some outstanding dishes on the menu. So, while the entire vegetarian menu has been done by the Taj, most of the menu consists of flourishes by Morimoto himself. Oyster Foie Gras is one of the signatures and a must-try. Three oysters are lightly steamed and set with a piece of Foie Gras. Brilliant and innovative. Warm Carpaccio of White Fish isrnanother treat, as is the Grilled Wagyu with three sauces. Those whose palate veers towards the tried and tested can order from the teppanyaki menu\: it is deservedly popular. At Wasabi, even the flowers that are on the plate as decoration are not only edible, they are delicious. The desserts in the form of Green Tea Ice Cream, Tofu Cheesecake and Chocolate Tart are innovative. Certainly a must-visit!
