Happy 2005 all!

This was actually my first proper English new year celebration in HK. Other times Ispent new year at home cos my mum never let me out!

We were taken to a Japanese restaurant in Wan Chai. Apparently the place in HK for Sushi. When we arrived at the place, I was taken back - I was expecting plush exterior and concierge - but instead it was a block of old flats, hidden between some dodgy garages. Walked up 2 flights of stairs and we arrived at the restaurant, which was a smallish room nicely furnished with dining tables and jap-style interior. It was 7-course meal, which lasted nearly 3 hours - the food was LUSH! The sashimi was fresh and sweet, the meat was tender, juicy and melt-in-your-mouth! I couldn't say it was the ultimate best jap restuarnat i've ever been to, but I would definitely rate it one of the top jap restaurants i've been to. I was told that below the restaurant housed the main fish and jap food supplier for all the top jap restaurants in HK - that was why the food here was so good here!

After eating, we celebrated the new year at a bar called 1/5, pretty plush bar filled with a good mix of locals and foreigners. Though it was a little too packed to have a boogie...

My new year's resolution... errr... don't eat too much junk food....again...
