Quality lunch

Went here for a lunch gathering as the tables are spacious and there is a lot to offer.
It was a hot day so I started off with the green tea soba noodles.
I was surprised the green tea taste was really strong.

For hot items, I had my favourite croquettes again filled with silky potato in a perfectly fried coating.

The Chicken wings were even better because the skin was crispy and it was bursting with mentaiko.

Moving on to the sashimi, the angel prawns were new.
They were as blue as it looked and reminded me of the prawns we used at the Takeaway but these are from Japan.
It didn't really need soy sauce as it was tasty on its own.

As always the sashimi comes in thick slices.
My favourite had to be the lean tuna which was dark in colour but rich in flavours.

Venturing into Tai Wai

I rarely venture stations beyond Kowloon Tong because it feels like going up North and there are too many damn people.
The weather is finally getting cooler and it was a lovely gloomy day so I trekked into Taiwai for a stroll.

Interesting buildings.

Anyway, it poured with rain so somehow I stumbled upon some housing estate.
Beside this joint, there is a meat patty restaurant which has branches elsewhere while this one doesn't so I went here.



Lunch was really affordable especially in this area for Japanese.
The crab and potato croquettes were silky and sweet.


The lunch set was even better because you can get extra crispy gyozas for $8.


Last but not least were the skewers which were a surprise.
The pork and apple which was a sensible pairing just like roast pork and apple sauce was delicious as expected and I loved the big wedge of juicy apple wrapped with a piece of thinly sliced pork.
It was like a healthy version of bacon wrapped sausages.
