The entrance to this restaurant is an inconspicuous grey door on the sidewalk of the alley, with no signboard or any indication of what is behind. As I entered the door, it almost felt like going into a secret underground nightclub lol. I guess it's one of Hong Kong's best known secrets (even the toilets are secret!).
The menu that night was omakase, topped off with some of the finest sakes. The food was great, even for me who usually refrains from raw stuff. There are just two long tables, one facing the bar and another one on the other side facing the wall. Here are some photos of the food we ate, and also the inside of the restaurant. It's quite dimly lit, hence the quality of the photos are not that good taken with my phone.
So that was a great dining experience. As seats are extremely limited, it's best to make an early reservation!
Also on this trip, I went to Macau for the very first time. Even though I had been to Hong Kong several times in the past 2 years, this was my first trip to Macau. We went by the Turbojet which took around an hour each way.
We were only there for a day, and as we had some time to kill, we headed to The Venetian just to have a look. Maybe it's just me, but looking at the buildings on the way there and at The Venetian itself, Macau as a whole seems very artificial. Still hoping to make it to the real Venice! Haha.
Of course, no trip to Macau would be complete without having the famous Lord Stow's Portuguese tarts. There are a few branches all over Macau and there was one at The Venetian too. The queue to get into the place was crazy.
But I suppose it was worth the wait! Very yummy, especially when hot out of the oven.
