Ski buddies reunion dinner. Since we were having yakiniku in Niigata this time last year, someone suggested trying the one in this new building in TST. Stepped out the elevator into some groovy lighting, restaurant was to our right. There were 13 diners in total (including the 4 of us) on 3 sides of a square. We were seated on high bar chairs, could clearly watch the chefs at work. Chef said he used to work at the branch on HK island. We opted to start at 7:30 but in retrospect I would suggest s
We opted to start at 7:30 but in retrospect I would suggest starting at 7, as we had to hurry towards the end to leave by 10pm. We ordered sake and looked with anticipation at the 2 circular charcoal grills in the center.
Codfish wafers as hors d'oeuvres went perfectly with the sake.

Pearl oyster was grilled to warm. Friend said he preferred his oysters completely raw, but I liked mine, especially mixed with some purple shiso flower.

Then came the Australian beef shoulder. Went well with the sauce and bed of rocket leaves.

Next came the crab. Unfortunately I don’t eat crab, but I did follow instructions and mixed the egg yolk, tried a bit, gave to my buddies to enjoy.

the hilight of the night was my favorite- 封門柳 (hanger steak). Chef soaked the hanger steak in pots of marinade before grilling. We mentioned that we just had it for hotpot few nights ago, and chef thought it was a waste, cos to thoroughly enjoy hangar steak, it’s gotta be thickly sliced, so one could enjoy the texture of the meat.

Then came the scallop wrapped in seaweed. The big juicy scallop, brown on the outside and tender inside went well with the crunchy seaweed.
Chef announced the next course “snowflake beef” which was thinly sliced A5 ribeye pieces seasoned with large flakes of salt and grated smoked pate. Normally I didn’t like pate but since it as only a minimal amount, went well with the salt to bring out the flavour of the beef, which didn’t taste oily at all.

Last but not least came the beef sukiyaki, came with rice with yellow yolk. Although I was really full by then, I finished all- first by mixing the weekly flavored vegetables in the egg yolk with rice followed by the beef which tasted very light- not heavy at all.

Finished off with a matcha pudding.
In summary: exceptional meal. Very interested to try the HK island branch, but had to be after some vigorous exercise routines first.
