My Yu Shang to go with the fish porridge

Lunched at Wakaru today. It’s a Japanese casual dining restaurant at Central. All I can say is, I’m going back there again, soon!

Uni Gunkan

We felt adventurous and decided to try the deadly-if-not-prepared-properly Sea Urchin! It has a mix of very subtle tastes, slight sweetness, creamy texture, and a tiny tiny bit of fishiness to it. Overall a nice experience.

Went down to Chinatown today to have dinner at a “newly discovered” eatery. It’s been a long time since I last visited Chinatown. It has changed quite a bit. More places to eat, drink and shop, typical tourist-land. But one thing remains - It’s the cleanest Chinatown that I have been to.

Dinner’s at a seafood restaurant located near the start of Smith Street. It used to be a coffee shop. Here’s some of what we ordered:

Fried squid with oat

This is Calamari at a higher level! The squids are fried to perfection: Crispy on the outside, the squid is still tender and juicy on the inside (not over cooked). The oat flakes, unlike some others, were not oily and complements the squids well. How I wish I had a pint of beer!
