Decent Japanese Food in a Cozy environment at an affordable price

Decent Japanese Food in a Cozy environment at an affordable price...
If you ask me this question, I would recommend Tsim Sha Tsui’s Susho Hiro
Located at Canton Road.
This is a up floor Japanese Restaurant running by Japanese, as we know there have been a great difference between Japanese Sushi made by Japanese and Local Hongkonger.. yes, because there is no one who can make better Wanton Noodles that the Hong Konger… Same reason applies for Sushi and Sashimi.
There is daily fresh supply of Oyster, Japanese Crab, and Toro, if you want to taste a authentic Japanese cuisine. Sushi Hiro is the Choice, his assistance also can offer you a skillful cut of Sashimi and the right Sushi made fresh at the appropriate temperature… Talk to Suzuki Masashi the MD of the restaurant at the Sushi bar.
Location ; 7/F The Toy House, 100, Canton Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowllom tel 23779877

Sam Dou Fish

In My humble opinion, Sam Dou could be the Most Delicious Steamed Fish.
This is the so Called “Sam Dou Fish” very hard to find, and very expensive, a fish of length of about 8” (weight about 10 taels) will cost about HKD$1,200.00 if you order at Prince Restaurant at Peking One, canton Road. Similar Fish you can find at Tao Yuan Mei Foo Sun Chuen at about HKD$800.00. and may be HKD$600 at Sam Sin Tsuen near Tsuen Mun. But usually these kinds of fish would not be easy to find.
And normally you have to order in advance one day at Prince restaurant,
So Far the best steamed fish is Prince as they use the virgin soya sauce mixed with water at certain ratio, put some chicken essence, sugar and stir under mild temperature. They use good quality oil and they service the soya sauce and oil in tow separate bowls. Instead on put it on the steamed fish.
If you like fish, you have to go for this.

World's 50 Most Delicious Foods

The Winner, Thailand's Massaman Curry.

You are what you eat, you eat what you are.. Food keeps us alive, and food brings us taste, hope, life, satisfaction, appreciation and gratification!
These are the 50 most delicious foods chosen by CNNgo, though there is always debatable for the taste, and this is not fair to some of the greatest food we have had,
How about the Hong Kong Famous Wanton Noodles, Char Siu, and Philippines Lechon!?
Stinky Tofu is Typical Chinese Food, why it is South East Asian food!? Hong Kong has just Egg tart and French Toast? I like Thai food, part of the reason why my wives are. Thai. But Do you know the Yam Pla Too foo is so much tasteful which is better than the Som Tam and even Tom Yam Goong, but I could not find it out from the list.
Well USA is Winningest for 7 items, Thailand for 4. I have no question on Thailand as their food is fantastic, but USA! I doubt! USA has not much of its own cooking culture.
France, only the Croissant? China has just Peking Duck, which is one of my most dislike items out of ten, How about Hong Kong Roast goose!? Anyway, do not take it so seriously and do appreciate your taste and choose the best food you like.
Some foods you eat to stay alive, others you eat because not to would be a crime. Here are those foods worth traveling the world to gorge on

Stop Eating Processed Meat

The World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) completed a detailed review of more than 7,000 clinical studies covering links between diet and cancer. Its conclusion is: Processed meats are too dangerous for human consumption. Processed meats include bacon, sausage, hotdogs, sandwich meat, packaged ham, pepperoni, salami and virtually all red meat used in frozen prepared meals. As they are usually manufactured with certain amount of carcinogenic ingredient known as sodium nitrite, this is used as a color fixer by meat companies to turn packaged meats a bright red color so they look fresh. Sodium nitrite results in the formation of cancer-causing nitrosamines in the human body. And this leads to a sharp increase in cancer risk for those who eat them.
A 2005 University of Hawaii study found that processed meats increase the risk of pancreatic cancer by 67 percent. Another study revealed that every 50 grams of processed meat consumed daily increases the risk of colorectal cancer by 50 percent. Note that these cancer risks do not come from eating fresh, non-processed meats.
From Now on, stop eating these kind of food, or at least reduce, Stop all Can food meat like pork of beef, can soup with meat, they are all prone bad to your health...
Take a glass of lukewarm water n the morning as first thing to do after wake up…prior cleaning your teeth.
It helps to wash clean your bowels.
Do not take Ice cold water during meal as it solidify fat in your food in your body and gradually accumulating to change to bad cells as Cancer.
Cut Out extra fat meat, avoid chicken wing as usually this is where the steroid is injected.
The residual steroid will stay in your body for years.
Stay Healthy, stay Happy.

Jones Grocers Singapore

I had a wonderful simple dinner with Marcus, who stayed in Singapore for 7 years.

A nice and cozy, quiet place at night under the Singaporean Wednesday moon. Service was good and the young waitresses had a great sense of humour talking with me…

We covered a lot of old chat, new news and common understanding of the life in Singapore, German and Hong Kong. The Good is good but I do not take much due to my high BMI…

Boon Tung Kee, Singapore

Boon Tung Kee has earned a lot of appreciation from the magazine and newspaper reporters of Singapore and Hong Kong. A lot of Movie Stars like Andy Lau extols their famous Steamed Chicken as merits best Singaporean Chicken. Situated along the Balistier Road, we had waited just for a whilst because of just two of us, other more than 2 persons may have to wait much longer time. That of the chicken is OK! But the meat was still a big harsh and tasteless. The steam pork on pickled vegetable was amazing, too healthy that almost the fat was cut out.  This dish does not look like oily.  Price was only SD$42.00 for two persons. Quite a good deal. HK Snob

Probably The Most Delicious Dish at Manila Airport

Not just me, friend of mine from Hong Kong, and some senior Colleagues from Singapore had the same comment, This Grilled Pork chop dish is likely, or I should say most probably the most delicious dish in Manila Airport.
It comes with two pieces of pork chops and side veggies, you would see some fat at the rim of the porkchop and slightly burned to become crunchy and a favour of charcoal scents.
Well, not too healthy usually I took part of the fat only, but I do take all the lean portion at the centre, it was not oily and that make you feel stuffed. The rice portion is small which is good for my small stomach. Next time when you come to this 2nd Floor of the airport, on the non-smoking side of this restaurant, Try…
Price is Peso 405. (HKD$80.00, USD$10.00 roughly)

Note: it take 20 mins to come.. if you are hurry, do try the Sanwiches.

Conti's Restaurant



Another type for family gathering or dinner restaurant. I was suprised that the food has a very high standard regarding the easy-going prices. The Dessert was fantastic but I am sure we have to take diet after a few days as the Cake was just huge! Situated in front of the CrownAsia villa at Ayala.
