The territory of restaurants in Tai Hang is expanding due to its popularity as well as rise in property rent. If not for this Wabi Sabi, I would never have dropped by this Lin Fa Kung Street 蓮花宮街 where there is a temple at the corner. Wabi Sabi represents a comprehensive Japanese world view and beauty of “imperfect, impermanent and incomplete”, it set herself in the right location where the traffic of the lane was light all the time. Unlike those dessert shops, ramen shops or cafés in the neighbourhood with long queues of diners, my friends and I enjoyed a relaxing lunch without the nuisance of packed tables and waitresses busy serving food.
In general the meal was very value-for-money given high quality of food and tranquil environment. It’s not easy to find a similar place in Causeway Bay with the same budget.
a) Sushi Set Lunch 自選壽司膳 ($168) – 9/10
This is a set of 8 pieces of sushi and 1 set of sushi rolls at your own choice. My choices of sushi are toro 吞拿魚腩, hamachi油甘魚, sea bream鯛魚, scallop帆立貝,striped jack深海池魚,sword fish劍魚, crab miso蟹羔 and sea urchin海膽 plus Yellow Pickled Radish Roll新春卷. All the seafood were very fresh, in particular the toro, sword fish, crab miso and sea urchin. Even the hot spring running egg was cooked perfectly and bathed in bonito flakes木魚碎 with seaweed.b) Wabi-Sabi Tri-colour Rice Set侘寂三色丼 ($168)
My friend’s pick of rice set with sea urchin, scallop and crab miso.c) Assorted Sashimi Rice Set花之魚生飯 ($188)
Another choice of rice set with sea urchin, amberjack 間八, sword fish belly and tuna.d) Sweet Glutinous Rice Roll – 8/10
This glutinous rice roll with sweetened red bean wrapped inside and covered by my favourite Japanese basil leaf marked the end of a contented meal. 04.2013
