It's the third time visiting Sushi Shota .  First time dated back to 2005.  The CEO of my previous employer took me there.   Second time being a few months earlier.  I ordered a set of 'specified sushi' and noodle but non-stop delivery of delicate sushi lunch set got my attention.  I said to myself I would try it one day.   Then, today, a time to rest and taste the delicacy.  After this meal, I said I would come back another time. I arrived at around 1.45pm.   A few guests remain.  One could choose 8 out of 20 choices of sushi and 1 from 5 Maki (卷物).  I picked Tuna (吞拿), Yellow Tail (油金 ), Hirame (左口), Macherel (花鮫), Sea Eel (海鰻), Sea Urchin (海膽 ), Sweet Shrimp (甜蝦 ), Tai (snapper) and Netitoro Maki (吞拿魚腩).  The first dish was steamed egg.  Inside was crab meat, chicken and mushroom.  Then came the sushi displayed in a yummy way, fresh and calling 'we are here.....'  I slow...

This local restaurant has been endorsed by different friends.  Its food is very good!  And it is not expensive.  The most outstanding dish, for me, are big shell 花甲 in peppery broth and oysters in port wine sauce 砵酒焗蠔. They are terrific!    Karen, Michelle, Susanna, Sai Wai and myself had a great meal on 25 June 2010.  Photos shown here were taken from two meals.  Apart from oysters in port wine sauce, we ordered East Wind Snail 東風螺, goose intestine with pepper in black bean sauce 豉椒鵝腸， Garlic Chicken 蒜香雞, garlic razor fish with vermicelli 蒜蓉蟶子蒸粉絲 and vegetables.  Sai Wai picked the goose intestine non-stop, saying good good and ate and ate.  We all had good time. Other recommendations include: Steamed Crab with glutinous rice, razor fish in garlic black bean sauce, Chinese mushroom with goose feet, oh, nameless.......  Address: 16-18 Hau Woo Street, Western District. 

I love eating but eat much less in the last few months as I am concerned with my ever increasing weight. Well, with fairly good discipline, I managed to lose over 10 pounds.  But it stucks. I had hard weeks.  Finally, our programme has been launched today.  It's time to relax.  My stomach kulu kulu after an appointment in Wanchai.  I followed a friend's advice and tried a Malaysian restaurant, Sabah.  Her Singaporean colleague highly recommended it, saying that it's authentic.  Why not?  And I can start sharing places of food with good value.  Be it for a single diner or groups.      There were quite a few new dishes that I wanna try.  But at the end I sticked on the safe side, laksa, a dish familiar to Hong Kong Chinese.  Two choices:  curry seafood and asam laksa of sour fish soup.  Photo of the curry seafood showed sumptuous seafood whilst the other's quite plain, one piece o...
