The Taiwan Transportation Safety Board has deduced that the fatal collision between a Taroko express train and a crane truck on April 2 occurred less than two minutes after the truck fell onto the track near the entrance to the Qingshui Tunnel in Hualien County, eastern Taiwan. #TaiwanTrainCrash

#Editorial AppleDailyHK｜"Xi Jinping said that only when patriots rule Hong Kong can the central government’s comprehensive governance over the SAR be effectively implemented, for various deep-seated problems to be effectively resolved, and for Hong Kong to achieve long-term peace and stability. However, one only needs to look at the governing effectiveness of his highly-praised patriot Carrie Lam to see that the so-called patriots are nothing more than a lover of the party and the leader, and are only “foolish + selfish”. Therefore it can be deduced that whether Carrie Lam will be re-elected is irrelevant to the CCP’s governance of Hong Kong. What is important is the guarantee of the “two safeguards”, and whether the Emperor is satisfied."

"習近平說，只有做到愛國者治港，中央對特區的全面管治權才能得到有效落實，各種深層次問題才能得到有效解決，香港才能實現長治久安。可是，只要看看他所讚賞的愛國者林鄭月娥的治港成效，就知道所謂愛國者，無非是愛黨者愛領袖者，只會是「愚＋忠」。由此也可斷言，林鄭月娥是否連任，對中共治港無關緊要，重要的是誰能做到「兩個維護」，是否正合朕意。"

Moments after being seated, I looked up at our chef and knew I was in this familiar situation before. After a short conversation we deduced that Chef Satoshi Tsuru had served me 3 years before but at Sushi Zo Bangkok. An Omakase restaurant which owns its name to an uber famous chef, but now Chef Satoshi stands, clearly in charge, behind the counter and behind this new Omakase restaurant to which he owns himself.

This made me pleased, along with the fact that this Omakase wasn't another pokey room with service staff in stiff kimonos breathing down our necks but rather an open plan room with a windowed-wall which allowed for warm sundown light and later, the twinkling lights of the city street to stream in.

The Omakase was not as expected, unlike the dynamic and playfulness of other "modern" Omakases we've been through, this more or less falls in line with what you'd expect of traditional.

The product was always King and the technique its Queen. Although I missed a bit more seasoning, the Omakase journey and selection made me realise how dependent we are on the "extras". Whilst appreciating the freshness, the Chef's techniques will actually show for themselves.

Keep an open mind and palate, the flavours may seem gentle and mild but the level of sophistication in skill and delicateness of fresh produce stands out most. The notable bites were the Hotaruka (glow in dark octopus), the Amadai (Red Tile Fish), the Cuttlefish Sperm! A first for me, and the Barracuda.

At this soft opening phase they are only accepting 6 pax per day maximum. FULL COURSE: 3 Apperizers + 13 sushi + 1 dessert = 6,500 thb p/p. The SHORT COURSE: 1 Apperizer + 13 sushi + 1 Dessert = 4,500 thb p/p. @omakasekishin #omakasekishin #BangkokFoodies #FoodiesOfficialAsia @ Omakase Ki Shin - 寄新 おまかせ
