After an almost month-long hiatus, I wanted to write something before y'all forget about me! Sitting here in my New York City hotel room, there is so much to write about - all of the restaurants I visited in London at the beginning for the month for one, and all the ones I will visit in the US of A after that. But I'm going to start with baby steps, and make a special mention of the superb Japanese restaurant that P and I went to in Hong Kong last weekend, at the recommendation of a friend who used to live in Tokyo - AL knows his sushi!
If you haven't been to Sushi Shin, take a trip down foodie lane and check out this superb establishment in Tin Hau - I've been reading so much about all of the great restaurants popping up in the area, but this is the first (of many) that I've checked out.
We sat at the sushi counter and opted for the omakase (a Japanese phrase which apparently means something along the lines of "I'll leave it to you"), the chef chooses what you will eat, and how much you will eat. When it comes to raw fish, I usually stick to my favorites: salmon sashimi, sweet shrimp and chutoro (the belly area of the fish, tastier than the akami, but not as fatty as otoro). This tasting menu allowed me to test my boundaries, I gave the chef no limitations - I was going to eat what he gave me.
