I’ve always found it exhilarating to discover new restaurants with great food unexpectedly. Last Friday evening, hubby and I were strolling along High Street in Sai Ying Pun to find some food to fill our growling stomachs.

What did I eat? Who knows, my entire trip was non-stop eating. It could have been the seafood, contaminated food, uncooked food, or maybe even the tap water.
