In love with Okinawa

Came across this restaurant at The ONE called “Mekiki no Ginji” 目利きの银次” - Me and my girlfriends were attracted by the very nice shop front design and the receptionist ---- A Japanese young man kept on yelling “FREE BEER FREE BEER FROM OKINAWA” (Well, think he must be the boss who works so hard trying to get attention) Free beer plus we are not sure where to eat…why not give it a try? When we first walked into the entrance, the first thing I notice was the very strong “fishy” smell from the sea

When we first walked into the entrance, the first thing I notice was the very strong “fishy” smell from the seafood counter. I have to say, sorry I am not happy with that……
~ It’s the main entrance of the shop, how could it be so fishy?! Anyway, we were offered to sit in the “bucket seats” which is quite comfy and suitable for the three of us~ Let’s take a look at the menu and see what they offer~ Initially, I thought the restaurant was about only OKINAWA food but it turns out it’s more like a izakaya restaurant with grilled and seafood dishes…which is not bad~ After reviewing the menu, here’s what we going to try1) assorted skewers 2) Tamago roll with cod roe 3) sashimi platter (well, the server said that the fish and seafood were delivered from Okinawa everyday fresh…sounds interesting) and 4) the duck udon with yuzi sauceThe sashimi platter was the first thing to came – We had uni, 赤陆鱼, scallops and Akagai…….I have to say that the赤陆鱼 was very fresh with delicate texture and the scallops was in jumbo size (HKD390..pretty good deal) One thing I don’t like about is their wasabi! They should have offered us the fresh wasabi instead of using the wasabi made from powder. The skewers was grilled with nice charcoal favors only my friend thinks that the chicken wing was too salty. I really like the bacon wrapped with tomatoe as it just balance the favour very well~One of the dishes that I like the most was the tamago with cod roe – The egg was nicely baked and the spices from the cod roe was favourful (Honestly, it tastes much better than it looks~~ Last but not least, the duck udon was served as the last dish and I really like the yuzi sauce. For the duck, I rather find it a bit chewy but the soft boiled egg was certainly another high light for the dish~ We were also a free beer from the Japanese server, it was an Orion beer from Okinawa…Well, I have to say I do prefer local beer more as the taste was rather too light for me.
Overall (sorry except for the fishy smell), I think Mekiki no ginji is a restaurant that I would recommend to my friends or for family gathering (given the price is very reasonable) The staffs were friendly (except one of the young boy don’t really know how to pronounce the shop name when we asked him) but he was well enough to tell me they actually have 2 more branches in V city and in WTC cwb and 15 branches in Okinawa Japan. After vising Mekiki no ginji, it reminds me that I should plan my next trip to Okinawa..hehe
