Shiba しば — Restaurant in Hong Kong Island

I visited this restaurant because of an Instagram post showing the delicious grilled skewers. The food is fair enough but a bit overpriced. For skewers, the chef grills them on the griller in front of you, turning raw meat into charred skewers. We ordered grilled eel, chicken kidneys, chicken, beef tongue, pork belly and pork asparagus.

Even though we went in around 9:30pm, and you know how it is nowadays with restaurants, but they didn't rush us or make us feel that we had to quickly finish our food so that they can close the restaurant for the day. This is nice for a change. All in all, it was quite a nice found and we'd...
