For years, I was a pescatarian. Only recently did I start eating chicken occasionally. These days, I see food as fuel and energy. I still love eating, but I\u2019m drawn to the clean, natural flavours of simple ingredients.<\/p>\n<p datatype=\"p\" data-qa=\"Component-Component\" class=\"e8zc9q40 css-1c6uqr6 ec74h0k1\">For dinner, I\u2019m a long-time regular at <strong data-qa=\"ContentSchemaRender-defaultRenderMapFunctions-Component\" class=\"css-1mniedq ex3nmsa17\">Tokio Joe<\/strong> (16 Lan Kwai Fong, Central. Tel: 2525 1889). I\u2019m a huge sushi fan. Their team makes every visit special and homey.
