Ah Yat Harbour View Restaurant (Hong Kong)

My friends treated me to Ah Yat Harbour View restaurant during my visit in Hong Kong. Attracted by the fame from his treatment of dried abalone, we went for a set menu consisting of the reputed abalone as well as other classic Cantonese delicacies.

The Ah Yat abalone has a unique tenderness on the inside accompanied by intense seafood flavours – unrivaled by other kind of seafood dishes. The shark fin soup (environmental issues notwithstanding) and fish maw were also very enjoyable. Coincide with the hairy crab season, we added a crab roe noodle dish which was a great treat.

Azuma (Sydney)

We took a friend on a business trip to the original Azuma restaurant at Chifley Tower on Friday night. Conveniently located in the CBD and right opposite the hotel in which our friend was staying, the restaurant still provided the attentive service and had quite a few business diners that night.

The highlight food-wise was the stirred fried abalone and scallop which was perfectly complimented by the mushroom absorbing the sweetness of the seafood from the butter sauce. The tender pork belly was also excellent and went well with rice.
