I am spending the weekend in Port Elizabeth to celebrate a big birthday with friends. I grew up here and love the usually too short visits when I get to come "home" and catch up with old friends.
On Friday night, we ate out at Fushin in Stanley Street, Richmond Hill. I lived a few blocks ago before I moved to Johannesburg and area was not at all close to being as cool and trendy like it is now. When I lived here, many of the houses were pretty run down and the only shop in Stanley Street was a bit of a dodgy cafe that you thought twice about entering after dark.
A few years ago, the lovely Vovo Telo was born in a beautiful Victorian cottage and slowly the area picked up with other trendy shops and restaurants opening. Some of the more run down parts remain and old ladies still walk the streets.
At Fushin though, we ordered two sushi dishes that were out of this world. I have a fair bit of sushi both in Johannesburg and even in Asia but these two dishes shot straight up there on the "best sushi ever" contenders list. Little bit different combinations and exquisitely served.
A winner for sure!
