Prologue:I actually got lost in TST east trying to find this place. Apparently I took the wrong turn coming out of the MTR. At the end I had to flag a taxi and when I told the taxi driver where I wanted to go he said 'you're going to feel really stupid' but i said i don't mind coz i'm late already so he gave me a scoff and drove off. I arrived in less than a minute. Yep. The moral of the story is that everyone with a smartphone should get subscribe to a dataplan as well. anyone who doesn't have
I actually got lost in TST east trying to find this place. Apparently I took the wrong turn coming out of the MTR. At the end I had to flag a taxi and when I told the taxi driver where I wanted to go he said 'you're going to feel really stupid' but i said i don't mind coz i'm late already so he gave me a scoff and drove off. I arrived in less than a minute. Yep. The moral of the story is that everyone with a smartphone should get subscribe to a dataplan as well. anyone who doesn't have a smartphone better have a very keen sense of direction!
Environment:
A very cozy and petit restaurant. Maximum seating capacity around 16. There is a sushi bar and also 2 rectangular tables, each accommodating a party of 4. I guess those 2 tables could be put together for a party of 8. But it would be a rather tight fit.
Food:3 sashimi rice
O ordered this - I did not try - O said it was not bad. Grilled fish set lunch $150
The miso soup was hot and delicious. It was salty and there were fried bean curd strips in the soup which provided a bit of bite, although I think I prefer smooth tofu in my miso soup. Again the small nuclear cloud formed after a couple minutes of stillness fascinated me.
The grilled fish of the day - mackerel was delicious. You have to ask the chef what the fish of the day is. Asking the polite and timid Japanese waitress is of little use because it is difficult to communicate with her. Better talk to the chef himself. Just when I was facing much difficulty trying to communicate with the waitress, a nice man at the neighboring table offered to translate. Thank you! The portion was very generous, fish perfectly salted, skin crisp, meat was firm, fresh and oily - so oily a small pool of fish oil accumulated itself at the bottom of the plate. Quite unsightly but fish oil is supposed to be healthier than cooking oil and animal fat right. Grilled fish is supposed to be done with minimal quantities of oil aite I gobbled up the whole thing, with the help of a bit of grated radish and soy sauce. I would speak highly of this fish. Anyone who likes grilled fish should try this one.
The set lunch also comes with green tea ice-cream, the best part of which was the creaminess. It had sufficient green tea flavour, which I would expect from any ice cream that purports to be 'green tea ice cream'. But it was creamier than usual - which i appreciated. No icy graininess in this one, no! Conclusion:
I feel that the master really puts his heart into preparing food - appreciate that. The shy and polite waitress is a nice spectacle to add to the small, homey space. Like a family-run business. I would come here more often but for the inconvenient location. So I need someone who knows the way to bring me here in case I get lost again. That said, I wouldn't make a deliberate trip here, I don't think. There are places in HKI which offers good grilled fish too.
