Hong Kong Sushi

We enjoy the dining and our location at Bishop Lei puts us right in the middle of some of the best international restaurants in the area. It also a bit of a party location. Not night clubs, just good people watching, all next to our escalator, the main souce of transportation for us to and from the hotel.

Oddly we find ourselves hiking up and down this big hill all hours of the day, sometimes we are going with the flow of the escalator and sometimes not. Neither seems to bother us as we walk our way around town.

We are finding the price-fixed lunches to be a great bargain and a good way to try new items. Soup or Salad, entree and dessert are usually included as is coffee, which is almost always cappaccino, a nice finish.

One night we find a sushi buffet to enjoy. This is not really a buffet, but their regular menu, all you can eat for a fixed price. You get one and a half hours in your seat. We think this is a grand idea and try to try everything. There is the motorized track that the fresh raw fish treats twirl around in a circle with partons sitting around the track taking whichever delicacy interests them. We watch our little plates stack higher and higher. We can also order from the menu and add two salads to our collection of plates. I don't want to try any raw fish but did order the earlier mentioned chicken balls. I also order some baby shrimp which seem particularly slimey. Victor eats most of these and tells me they are raw, not slimey. I am supposed to know that Sashimi means raw... well, I do now! Maybe I need cooking school!
