Today, as a Valentines treat, we went to Rei Sushi, a Japanese restaurant located in the IFC mall in Hong Kong. Normally, I avoid going to restaurants on Valentines Day as many restaurants have horrible Valentines Day menus. However, the restaurant we went to today had a very nice menu so we decided to try it out.
Very nice.
Although expensive, the meal was definitely worth the price. For me, the highlight would be the sushi. One of the sushi included in the meal was a sushi made with the belly of salmon. Now the belly of the salmon is very fatty and hence, very tasty (flavour molecules reside in fat or so I've been told - I guess this makes me delicious!). The chef flash-grilled one side of the salmon - this meant that the fatty juices were flowing hence it was particularly juicy; at the same time, the other side of the salmon was still raw so you got an interesting juxtaposition of taste and texture.
We also received a complimentary gift from the restaurant. At the end of the meal, they brought us a very nice gift wrapped box. At first, we thought it was going to be chocolate or something. However, it turns out to be a heavy slab of crystal with a picture of two lovers kissing.
How sweet.
