Masuya

Two of our dear friends Irene and Andy will soon leave our sunny shores for a bit of a stint in London. As a final FFL get-together with the Cheungs, we went to Masuya Japanese Seafood Restaurant.


We started off the evening with a bit of sushi and sashimi. The Spicy Tuna Avocado Roll and Eel Bo Sushi were your typical sushi rolls and delicious. The Sashimi Boat was impressive in size and content, filled with fresh salmon, tuna, kingfish, oysters and prawns on top of a bed of seaweed and shredded daikon.

The entrees that followed the sushi and sashimi were equally delicious.

For the main event, we ordered two hotpots. The Chanko Hot Pot had a variety of seafood, juicy chicken, pork and seasonal vegetables cooked in a dashi soup. The Sapporo Hot Pot consisted of Tasmanian oysters, crab, salmon, scallop, chicken, deep-fried tofu, udon noodle, coriander and vegetables in soymilk and dashi soup with fresh chilli and garlic. The contents of the two hotpots arrived separate to the soup which the waitress prepared at the table. While the Chanko Hot Pot was a little on the salty side, the Sapporo Hot Pot had a creamy soymilk base that was pleasantly enhanced by the seafood.

While the food at Masuya didn't blow us away, it's still a pretty good place for traditional Japanese cuisine and fresh seafood.

Bon voyage Cheungs - we will miss you!
