This Friday night's dinner brough us back to Kaiho Sushi for Omakase. We were expecting a lot after our first 2 omakase from Sushi Chef Bernard. Although, the sashimi and the sushi were fresh and good but I thought Bernard's magic was not there for us anymore. Friday's omakase items were quite similar to the those we had the last 2 times. Maybe it was just my luck as omakase would depend on what are the fresh ingredients that set foot into the kitchen. I was envious of the other food items that other foodies had during their visit. But should I just demand specifically what I want? If I did that, dinner wouldn't be called omakase anymore. I think I have to try omakase somewhere else and then come back to appreciate.
(All items shown are portions for a 1 person S$80++ omakase dinner)
Kaiho Omakase - Sashimi Platter
The 4 types of sashimi

Iwashi (herring or sardine), Kampachi (Yellowtail)
Otoro with the interlaced omega 3 fat streaks
Shiso Sprouts with bonita flakes
Oyster Soup
2 big oysters in the oyster infused soup. Tasty soup.
The oysters tasted well with the ponzu sauce.
That oyster from the soup cup
Quite a big sized oyster inside the oyster soup.
Sanma Shioyaki
The lightly salted grilled sanma or mackeral pike.
A drizzle of lemon juice made it simply tasty.

Plum Wine Konyaku
At first I thought this was some normal konyaku jelly but
after trying I really liked it. It was not ordinary. This
konyaku had a good amount of plum wine in it. Good Stuff!

But the photos you take still make the food looks so yum! ^^
Actually omakase (anywhere) doesn't necessarily mean to leave everything to the chef, you can always state your preferences (subject to availability) and opt out of foods you don't want. I always do. At Kaiho the other time I requested for the snapper nitsuke specifically.
So nice! I'm always envious of bloggers who post on omakase cuz it's something I wanna try but haven't the chance to go for it yet ha. So do you recommend this place for its omakase?
I know ice .... I was just nitpicking on the real definition of omakase. The fact is, I demanded for a no squid or octopus sashimi moriawase. So, strictly speaking, I was not really entrusting the chef already Not that Kaiho was not good just that I didn't take the initiative to let Bernard know what I wanted. I'm just too entrusting ....... haha :)
Hi Qiuyi ....... Don't be envious. al you need to do is to take that first step. I do liked Kaiho Sushi. It's a nice cosy place for omakase especially when the Sushi Chef Bernard is such a friendly person. Do make a reservation as Kaiho has limited seats.
Hi Kenny ...... The food was still YUM! I was just expecting more variation. I think my taste buds are fickle :)
Hmm... maybe a change is good. Perhaps you'll like to try Nogawa (my fav where else), Tatsuya?(if you want to break the bank) HAHA or Tomo. My recent visit to Tomo I only requested for sushi but I've had their full omakase before. I think you'll like the experience, pretty good variety there. Chef Thomas is very nice too. Do give it a go. :)
the sashimi looks very fresh indeed!
I like to eat at Kaiho as well but I do agree that the variety has been a bit lacking at the last few times I've been there. I guess I'm not regular enough there yet as well.
To alkanfel : Glad that you echo my sentiments :) But they still serve good food.
