It was such a satisfying visit to Shukuu Izakaya, the busiest restaurant along stanley street. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming. I was also surprised by how well-versed the waiter was when he introduced some of their popular dishes.

Most importantly, the food is really creative and good! Amongst all, its Torched Vinegared Mocherel was really flavourful and fresh, its Tori Kara-Age has a special slight favour of cheese to it (and not too oily!), and its Rosti Mentai has a good texture and it went really well with the mentaiko sauce! Pork Jowl Charshu was also quite a highlight, but its more pricey for the portion!

I would definitely return for more! :D

Fat belly has this really cozy atmosphere with staff who looked happy! I really enjoyed my dinner there, especially the fresh, tender and juicy Onglet Steak. I got it at medium rare and i was really impressed by how it turned out! Also, they have such affordable and yummy sides at just $5, and i would definitely recommend their Sautéed Thyme Mushrooms! (: yes the dinner here made my day, would surely visit again!

There were several options to customise our dish, which is good, but i selected chef’s recommendations in the end. :b I ordered the Red King with an additional 1 spicy level (red king is considered spicy level 5 before any additional selections). It is less spicy than i expected, the broth was quite refreshing and the noodle (as i’ve selected soft) was to my liking.
