Sushi Kuu, Central, Hong kong

Fresh sushi in Lan Kwai Fong, sit at the bar and let the chef work his
magic. They have a full menu of hot dishes as well but the raw fish is
still the goer.

We heard from a little bird that the great chef himself was in town an
supervising the kitchen so finally checked it out one lunchtime.
Funky red and black bar tables overlooking the kitchens are def the
way to go. Fun watching the calm manner in which they execute the
dishes.
On the bright side the service was excellent - maybe the great chefs
presence was a factor - which is almost as hard to come by as white
truffle in HK and unlike white truffle money doesn't guarantee it.
Loved the fresh bread basket which was constantly topped up. Amuse
Bouche of foie gras cappuccino was lovely. I was a little disappointed
with the toast (dry, hard, cold) that came with my foie gras au
natural but the main of beef cheek was lovely.

Peace Cafe, Wanchai, Hong Kong

It was my friend N's vegetarian day today so she suggested that we have our girl's lunch at Peace Cafe. I must admit that I never venture beyond Ship Street (towards CWB) so I nearly got lost looking for this restaurant, which actually has a pretty prominent sign. It is located on Tai Wong East Street (the one next to Ship Street), and a little quiet oasis away from the hustle and bustle of Queens Road East and Johnston Street.

The food served here is an eclectic fusion vegetarian cuisine. Today we started off with a pumpkin soup with plump sweet wolfberries, followed by large round discs of beetroot topped with tofu. Our mains were eggplant ragu angelli pasta and a banana and zucchini curry with rice. The banana curry was mild, akin to a katsu curry, although my least favourite (I don't like cooked bananas usually), it was still very good. Serving size is generous, so three of us shared 2 main set meals.

Really liked this place and will definitely be back soon.
