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.
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)
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..
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.
I so agree on this with you. I LOVE SHARKFIN SOUP -inlove tastes so yummy -^_^ but its expensive.. i eat it mostly at weddings hehe.. -inlove weddings ! -devil my favourite souupppp. But i still like bao yui.. its yum too !! can i have bao yui yiu chi soup?? xDD!! i want that.. -tongue2 but probably ultraly expensive -ohmy
^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...
hehehe aiks.. was it u... eee sorry lo.. oopsie.. hehe didnt see the starters name... kekekekke should ban u from doing that... hehehehe shark fins.. yum yum... but then its true... too evil.... but but.. there are some fisherman who'll take the whole shark up rite? not all of htem are evil hehe
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
