I love all varieties of Japanese food, not only sashimi and sushi. Most people know where to eat good sushi and sashimi, but not many know where to eat special Japanese dishes.

For okonomiyaki [Japanese pancakes], I recommend (5 Nam Kwok Road, Kowloon City, tel: 2718 8282). You can choose chicken, beef, pork, seafood, or salmon as a filling. This is my favourite dish and I order it every time I go there. It's freshly made and served hot. On top of the pancake is ginger and shaved dried fish, and your selected meat is mixed with onion, cabbage, egg and flour. The texture is great and the taste is excellent.

The serving size is big enough for two people to share. The cheese baked Hiroshima oyster is also excellent, as is the Japanese curry pork chop rice.

Hau Fook Street is a small street in Tsim Sha Tsui full of dessert shops, restaurants and street food. If you like hot and spicy food, try the (8 Hau Fook Street). That's my own translation because the shop doesn't have an English name. It's rich and spicy, with Sichuan peppercorns, chilli pepper and spices simmered in oil. My favourite dish is the signature mala noodle soup. It comes in three different sets, with your different meat and vegetables to accompany the noodles. The place is cheap at HK$48 for four meats and noodle soup. It has other good Sichuan dishes, including the hand-shredded chicken with sesame and peanut sauce.
