Ronin, Revisited ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Back at Ronin on our first night in Hong Kong because I just love the food so much!!!
The Kagoshima beef was the best dish I had last trip. I could not stop thinking about it since.

 

 

We were a group of 5 this time so we ordered omakase to make our lives easier.

Some of the dishes I had already tried before. Wish I remembered to tell the chef so I could try more new items.

Still, an excellent dinner from start to finish.

The crab meat was plump and the uni so creamy. The best part was all the hard work had been
done so I just needed to scoop and swallow.

the dehydrated chestnut chips addictive.

Sanma, mentaiko, ume, shiso
The sanma was so fatty and oily! Topped with mentaiko and a dab of plum paste,
these rolls were intense!!!

Tokyo turnip, clams, chorizo, miso. I thought this one was forgettable.

Quail, sansho, orange. Very moist and tender.

Udon with mentaiko and shiso.
Each fat and chewy strand was coated with creamy, buttery mentaiko. This was just so awesome!!!

I had another umeshu infused with I-forgot-what. Lol!

 

By this time my memory was already failing me. 

But I did remember the Kagoshima beef! It wasn't included in the omakase so, of course, we had to order it!

Kagoshima beef, maitake, egg yolk

So velvety and flavorful and look at that marbling!!!

 

 

DSC01858

Roll it with the earthy maitake, crunchy garlic chips, scallion ribbons and enrobed it in silky yolk.
Every little piece was an explosion of flavors and textures in my mouth. BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!

Our super nice server Mamta gave us a complimentary round of this sweet sake
