Matsubishi Japanese Restaurant

This teppanyaki restaurant is very popular so a booking is essential. We normally order one of two meals, the "Tsuke" meal for $190 includes salad, King prawn (or scallops), salmon, beef, soup, pickles, fried rice, dessert or the "Mui" meal has everything except the prawn and salmon $130. There is a 10% service charge.

We have been there many times and have never been disappointed as all of the chefs here are highly trained. The food is always fresh and cooked to perfection. My favourite is the prawn head and the thinly sliced beef. Mrs Fisher likes the thick beef.

If you haven't been to Matsubishi, you definitely should try it out. It is among our recommendations for top five restaurants in Hong Kong and gets 5 out of 5.

Hong Kong/Shenzhen border

Here is a photo of the Shenzhen River at Lo Wu which separates Hong Kong and Shenzhen. Shenzhen is on the right and Hong Kong on the left. Lo Wu is the busiest immigration point in Hong Kong. The introduction of automated booths which verify identify via fingerprints has done a lot to improve its efficiency.

Cottage Farm, Hay-on-Wye

As indicated by its name, Hay is by the Wye River, on the border between England and Wales. Hay is best known for its large number of second hand bookshops and is hence a bibliophile's paradise. Their official website is an good source of information.

We went horse riding with the Tregoyd Mountain Riding Centre, located in the nearby Black Mountains, and enjoyed the beautiful scenery that Wales has to offer.







Hay Castle has a history dating back to the 12th century and is the central landmark. It was burnt down (or destroyed in other ways) on numerous occasions and its west wing serves as a bookshop.



Here is a photograph taken from the castle, looking back onto the main street.



We had an excellent holiday there staying at Cottage Farm, an excellent bed and breakfast.



Cottage Farm is run by Julie Jones who made us feel like part of her family. Her breakfasts were definitely something to look forward to. Our room was extremely clean and comfortable. Overall, it was the best bed and breakfast we have experienced.
