Spice up your life

Looking for some spice in your life? Need something to warm you up at night? If you answered yes to both questions, then a visit to the Kyoto Joe restaurant in Lan Kwai Fong is for you.


The Japanese restaurant has just unveiled a new menu with six special dishes created with Sriracha, the iconic and much-loved Thai chilli sauce.


Japanese food is not really synonymous with spice, but Kyoto Joe plans to use the sauce, named after a coastal city in Thailand, on scallops, sea urchins and beef for its Sriracha Specials menu.


The “coolest” chilli sauce in town is famous for its versatility and can be used on anything from noodles to doughnuts.


Most people, however, prefer to use the sauce as a dip for seafood, and we don’t blame them because spicy doughnuts sound like a cruel high school prank.


Dishes start at HK$100 for lightly-fried cauliflower with sweet & Sriracha sauce.
