Ultimate Taste Chef's Special

Tonight, I came to πŸš‡ Tsim Sha Tsui's hidden gem "Hua Chen Yue Xi," a high-end Japanese restaurant πŸ‡―πŸ‡΅ for dinner. They specialize in exquisite, high-quality Omakase. 🀩 I chose the "Omakase Moon" ($1580), where every dish from appetizer to dessert is crafted with the chef's heart and top-tier ingredients. It was so delicious it made my tongue dance πŸ˜‹!

The appetizer of Matsuba crab leg meat 😍 paired with abalone looked exquisite. πŸ¦€ The Matsuba crab leg meat was explosively fresh and sweet πŸ’₯, combined with the chewy abalone, 🌊 doubling the umami, instantly waking up my appetite 🀀!

After the bubble burst 🫧, the flounder sashimi appeared right before my eyes. Thinly sliced πŸ”ͺ flounder wrapped around delicate white shrimp 🦐, paired with a touch of bamboo charcoal salt πŸ§‚ and precious caviar, plus fragrant flower spike shiso, 🐟 the texture and flavor layers were incredibly rich!

The Nagasaki Kaisen oyster πŸ¦ͺ was plump, with a super intense seawater flavor 🌊! The chef added lemon juice πŸ‹ to enhance the taste, fresh and creamy, sliding smoothly down my throat, πŸ‘ absolutely amazing!

The salmon roe and sea urchin cup πŸ₯° was unbelievable, bursting with soy-marinated salmon roe 🟠 combined with ultra-creamy, rich Hokkaido πŸ‡―πŸ‡΅ Nemuro sea urchin, plus a hint of 🍊 yuzu peel fragrance, the fresh sweetness was off the charts πŸ’‘!

The ark shell sashimi 🐚 was crisp and sweet, and the ark shell liver sauce πŸ˜‹ was incredibly rich. Eating them together, πŸ‘ the umami was elevated even more.

Hokkaido πŸ¦€ hairy crab meat and crab roe paired with Hokkaido πŸ‡―πŸ‡΅ salted sea urchin fully expressed the ocean's 🌊 essence. The delicate hairy crab meat mixed with rich crab roe 😍, combined with the sweet salted sea urchin, wrapped in crispy ☺️ seaweed, delivered an ultimate fresh flavor that hit the soul in one bite πŸ˜†!

Today's 🏯 main dish was A5-grade Hokkaido Tokachi Wagyu πŸ₯© with Domyoji rice cake. The marbling of the A5 Wagyu was insanely beautiful, πŸ”₯ the chef's control of the heat was top-notch, slightly charred outside, melting instantly in the mouth 🀀, the fat aroma filled the entire mouth! Paired with the soft and glutinous 🍚 Domyoji rice cake, soaked in beef juice, it was sinful but extremely satisfying!

The sushi set of ten pieces 🍣 was freshly hand-pressed by the chef, with perfect rice temperature, vinegar ratio, and fish thickness! Tonight's selection included:

After eating so many rich flavors, πŸ₯£ this bowl of clam clear soup came just in time! πŸ₯„ The broth was clear but full of umami, the clams were plump, ☺️ warming and comforting.

Today's dessert was netted melon 🍈 with Kyoho grapes πŸ‡. The melon was super sweet and juicy πŸ’¦, the grapes were large and refreshingly sweet, perfectly ending this ultimate feast πŸŽ‰.

Every dish here is a work of art 🎨, and the environment is comfortable. Although the price isn't cheap πŸ’°, the quality and experience are absolutely worth it!
