Wanted to go out for a meal but hate crowd so decided to head to Liang Court as i loved shopping at the jap supermarket even though the stuffs there are expensive. Decided to check out the jap restaurant which Hei once mentioned to me...
We had Black pig shabu shabu ramen, Black pig tonkotsu ramen... the pork is super tender....
And also the highlight for the day........... Otoro sashimi!!!!!!!!!!!!!wanted to try that after watching a HK serial which focus on japanese cuisine.
It costs $55 for 5 pcs of otoro and $45 for chutoro...
Whats the difference?
Otoro is the premium part of tuna belly that usually does not get a price on any sushi house menu. Otoro is they best part of the tuna. Because otoro is from the belly of the tuna it is fatty. Otoro is light pink in color, sometimes almost white, and creamy looking. Otoro will leave behind a swirl of oil on the surface, and when it hits your pallet, it will melt. The fattiest portion of the tuna, found on the underside of the fish.
chutoro is the belly area of the tuna along the side of the fish between the Akami and the Otoro. Often preferred because it is fatty but not as fatty as Otoro.
Yummy! It tastes like meat instead of fish but i am glad i tried that but dont think i will eat it again unless i am in Japan. =)
