    If I have to choose between these 3 , I'll say shark fins (in a soup) too, followed by bird's nest and skip the boa yu. Don't think I've ever eaten one and it doesn't look yummie to me.

    ^ Try abalone cooked with oyster sauce with guy lan and chinese mushroom, it is simply heavenly.

    I dunno, perhaps I'll try it if I'm in HK AND if it's on the table I might try it.

    Oh wait, my parents once did have bought a fresh giant boa yu in Japan and the restaurant prepared it for us but I thought it tasted boring and it was very chewy. -mellow

    (it was definately not the oyster sauce version, so maybe I should try that once)

    It depends...if you like a good chew, bao yu is great and flavoursome. I love the chewy consistency! :D

    mmm... bao yuu and oyster sauce *drool*... i'm not a picky eater but I prefer the frilly parts of the bao yuu cause it's softer and less chewy.. bao yuu > yiu choo + yin wo for me, at least, cause it's the soup that makes them good..

    Found a pic of that chewy and boring tasting Boa Yu I'd eaten last year in Japan.

    That's a waste of a bao yu. Using forks and knives to eat a whole bao yu is the best.

    Ya, we also think it was a waste of money having it prepared by a Japanese cook in a buffet restaurant that mainly serves Chinese and Taiwanese tourist groups! (but we couldn't take it back to HK either, it was best to eat it while still fresh they said.)

    But then that whole buffet restaurant was a disappointment for me; everything (crappy) chinese and only some Japanese stuff that didn't left any impression. -mellow Hate HK travel tours.

    ^Well you pay for what you eat. You can get bao yu and yu chi soup in one pot if you eat 'fut tiu cheong'. It tastes super good, but I normally ask them to skip the sharks fins...:p

    Well, most of them are really shark hunters, with the fins in mind. If they take the whole shark, that'd meant that their carrying capacity is reduced. That's why they throw them back into the sea after finning
