Katypo's Profile

I recently dined at Tsuga Omakase and was blown away by the exceptional quality of the food. The chef truly is a master of his craft and expertly prepared a series of dishes that were both visually stunning and incredibly delicious. Each course was beautifully presented and showcased the freshest and highest quality ingredients.What really made the experience special, however, was the chef's willingness to tailor each menu to the individual preferences of his customers. He is the most sweetest, generous, and down-to-earth chef I've ever met, and he went out of his way to ensure that every dish was perfectly suited to my tastes. For the price you're paying, you're definitely getting more than your money's worth! It's not often you find a restaurant that delivers such high-quality food at such reasonable prices.Overall, I highly recommend Tsuga Omakase to anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience in Hong Kong. The food is outstanding, and the plates and presentation are all well thought out and beautifully selected by the chef himself. I can't wait to go back again soon!…Read More

Craving for an authentic Italian fine dine? Here is one of the most very few in Hong Kong. Giacomo , located in Crowne Plaza Hotel Causeway Bay won't disappoint you! Giacomo's decor is classy with an exceptionally high ceiling. It is quite a cosy little area that gives you a good sense of privacy yet with attentive and friendly service. Served premium quality of ingredients at a reasonable price. Each dish creatively reinvents classic Italian flavours with a focus on quality, seasonal ingredients and traditional cooking techniques. Start with ham and  then Red Prawns with Caviar. The Champagne tomatoes sauce blends in so well with the flavours of the ingredients . It is so naturally fruity sweet, a bit creamy , but nothing toot hick nor too watery. Indeed it is one of the highlight tonight.  Another twist would go to the Veal Shank Agnolotti with Morel Mushroom. The unique taste of veal shank incorporated beautifully everything from Agnolotti to Morel Mushroom . The veal is so  rich, saucy and tender, together with the interesting texture of morel mushroom. It will make you fall in love with it . However,  Mayura Beef Tenderloin with Black Truffle  is undeniably the star of the show. There is quite a subtle woody, musky aroma absorbed into the the mayor beef tenderloin that melt inside your mouth. It is a silky smooth texture and unrivalled juiciness that you won't feel a penny of grease. What a gorgeous equation of balancing the  flavours exquisitely. Giacomo is making it clear the dedication to the perfection of Italian cuisine.  I am definitely coming back and highly recommend it. …Read More

Washoku  is a perfect place to have variety of different food to hang out with mates over a drink and chat . I came  Amatsuki with my Jap friend for lunch. She had the Wagyu beef with Sukiyaki sauce set and I had the sushi set. She loved the beef so much . My Jap friend couldn't help  to keep her thumb up so much for the afternoon . LOL. The Waygu is just melted in her mouth and unbelievably tender, yet nothing greasy at all . It was like the very best top quality place we went in Tokyo back in the days . We both enjoyed the  appetisers a lot too. There is a great deal of  combination of creations . Full of surprises. We both get two appetisers each  for our lunch set choice. Not only they look beautiful just like a piece of art. Each appetiser has at least five or six ingredients. It also definitely tested all my taste sensations and explore different texture.My favourite bit would be the smokey touch of the mini slice of pork. I had the sushi set myself. I have to say the way they marinated the sushi rice is nothing like a regular Washoku. I would be convinced if that was made by a starred sushi chef. Premium fresh quality and  perfect size. By the way , I appreciate the detail of perilla frutescens beautifully decorated on top , it's nevertheless make the whole extra delicious too . What a thoughtful lights up. We are surely coming back and more often, no doubt!  …Read More

Of you are a spicy + hot pot lover like me , you should give this a try . I went may hot pot place saying it's spicy soup base, but none of them are really spicy . There usually will be lots of chilis in it, but it just doesn't taste anything like a single chilli in there. I always wonder why . Today, I come here, saw this place from articles before saying this is a true spicy hot pot branch originally from Chongqing . At the moment I entered the resty, I saw a map of dozens and dozens of branches in Chongquing.. Alright . it's not joking . They must have bending a good job in there. Pork Bone Broth / Authentic Chongqing Spicy Broth (mild Spicy) $39/paxI had half spicy and half not , just in case my tongue cannot take anymore. hahah. seriously , it is quite spicy and I did swap it both soup form time to time, and I love it . There are indeed many funny parts of the animals that I have never heard or tried before . It ;s good that there are half portion to order , it allows me to order a more varieties. So, lets try most of the funny ones. Exciting ...Beef Tripe (half) $62This is crunchy and tasteless and rough surface. it is not very appealing to look at I have to say . Good experience ., Duck Blood Curd (half) $42I had other kinds of blood curd before.I can't taste differences between different animals's blood curd, however, this absorb very well with the soup. Pig Throat (half) $59This is actually very crunchy . It is the most crunchy ever things I had ever had. It is also absolutely tasteless and it doesn't absorb the soup easily . It curls soooo much once cooked. It is almost like eatable plastic. Angus Beef (half) $119Pretty standard. Can't live without beef when hot-potting.Fresh Beef (half) $42It is super tender. It is very much like those beef they put it in the Chinese congee. Fresh OX Liver (half)  $46I had Foie gras not had ox liver before. but this feels so different .It is something chewy and marshy at the same time. Home-made Roselle Tea  $18Heard that is good for your body when having hot pot. …Read More

Surprised to find this everyday surf n turf place . haha. Grilled Angus Tenderloin with Grilled Lobster Set $168This best value of surf and turf I have ever had.  Lobster is bit small , but come on for the price I am paying , I am not complaining at all . The cheese and gravy to serve with was lovely . Well presented too . Tenderloin was cooked in perfect time as requested . Very juicy and tender. Well Cooked on the surface yet pinky inside. This is the cheapest surf and turf I have ever had in my entire life.  It's no longer for posh . I can actually have this everyday . I am so blessed. U.S. Style Grilled Pork Ribs with Fries Set$158Very good texture. Not like most placed , they will make it extremely tender. It would be so tendered that you don't even have a chance to chew and feeling like a granny sometimes.  For this one , it is still so tender , at the same time , you will still get to chew the texture like real meat. Delicious. …Read More
