𓃶 Must try recommendation! Hidden gem of a Japanese skewers restaurant in Sheung Wan

𓉿 𓉿

I often go to Sheung Wan to drink coffee on weekends. I have visited Upper Lascar Row countless times, but I never noticed that there is a hidden Japanese kebab shop here - Qianmu. It turns out that the store is open from 4pm to 11pm on weekdays, and its main dishes are Japanese skewers and "beak-to-tail" whole chicken sets.

This time, my friends and I ordered the "Chef's Selection of 8-Style Skewer Set" ($680), which includes appetizers, seasonal boiled food, 8 types of chef's skewers, chicken udon soup and dessert. You can also sit in a semi-outdoor area and have a cup of sake and eat skewers after work, which is extra chill.

𓊕 Grilled Dried Cod
First, have some roasted dried cod as a snack to go with the wine, it is delicious and satisfying.

𓊕 Sake-cooked clams + Japanese salad
The clams cooked in sake have a strong aroma, the clams are large, fresh and sweet, and are of top quality.
Super large bowl of Japanese salad! The appetizers are already very filling.

𓊕 Chicken breast cartilage skewers
Stunning! The chicken breast cartilage is crispy and chewy, and the meat attached to the cartilage is also very juicy and delicious!

𓊕 Butter Chicken Thigh
The meat is tender and has a chicken flavor. The roasted aroma brings out the aroma of chicken fat. Every bite of the meat is delicious.

𓊕 Grilled white eel
A must try recommendation! The roasted white eel has crispy skin and tender meat, and it is even more delicious when sprinkled with seven-spice powder! Although it has thin bones, the crispy texture of the eel is unmatched by any other fish!

𓊕 Chicken gizzards
The chicken gizzards are burnt to a crisp and chewy texture, perfect with sake.

𓊕 Roasted Okra
The unique sticky texture of okra and the charred flavor of the skewers make it taste even better than usual.

𓊕 Caramel Cherry Tomato
The soft and big cherry tomatoes, when poured with caramel, taste a bit like candied haws, sour and sweet and very appetizing.

𓊕 Minced Chicken Sticks
Minced chicken sticks are always a satisfying choice. Dip it in raw egg for a Japanese-style flavor.

𓊕 Chicken Udon Soup
Another must-try recommendation! The chicken soup is made by boiling chicken bones and chicken meat for 8 hours. No MSG is added and it is very thick and smooth. Full of collagen, warms the stomach and is nourishing. After eating udon, I even drank up all the soup!

𓊕 Desserts
The matcha and soybean powder fern cake is chewy and sweet, while the sesame and red bean balls are fragrant and soft. After a big meal, the biggest fear is that the dessert is too sweet. This small dessert plate is just right.

This is the first time I have eaten Omakase skewers, and it was a very satisfying meal. I hope to try the "Beak-to-tail" whole chicken set next time. I should invite more friends to come so that I can try more dishes.
