Eddie’s – Still Clinging On…
Update 21.5.10:…or not. A post was seen on a Lantau community page with a lot of kitchen equipment for sale very recently from Eddie’s. Maybe it’s all over. I think a case of decent food, wrong venue, wrong location. If anyone knows get in touch. Review: Well, Eddie’s is still hanging on there in Tong [...]
The Grand Stage – Dim Sum in Sheung Wan
Review: I’ve had lunch at The Grand Stage on the 2nd floor of Western Market twice in the past couple of weeks, and I’m pretty impressed, and only have one quibble. Photo snatched from their wedding club website Food: Fairly comprehensive offering of trad Dim Sum. Beef balls, siu mei, wanton, turnip pasties, radish cakes, cha [...]
40 Gough – not quite Lot 10
Review: I’ve known that 40 Gough in NoHo has been super popular for lunch for years now, but haven’t been for ages. As I had such a good lunch at Lot 10 across the street a couple of weeks ago I thought I’d do a compare and contrast, so went for lunch at 40 a [...]
Courchevel – Rappers, Hookers, Oligarchs and Lords
Review: Biggest rip off in the French Alps. Just don’t bother staying in Courchevel unless you are the type of person who thinks it’s cool to show off to your mates that you can afford to waste thousands of dollars in a hooker Disneyland. Yes you can avoid the horrible restaurants and tacky nightlife by [...]
Lot 10 – Tiny and Tasty in NoHo
I don’t know about you, but sometimes the inspiration to commit paws to typewriter is difficult to catch – but having looted the wine corner, I’m now armed with a large glass of a rather wonderful Argiano Brunello, and if that doesn’t inspire me – then shoot me now (well when I’ve finished drinking it…) [...]
Sevva – Rude and Useless
Review: So far, I haven’t been tempted to eat at Sevva, but I have been there a few times for drinks. I’ve always been severely disappointed by their service and after my last visit have decided that I really hope no one ever invites me for a drink there again, as I’ll just have to [...]
Thai Farmers’ Restaurant – Wanchai
Reivew: There were four of us for supper last night in Wanchai, and we fancied showing our new friends the delights of Thai Hut. As previously explained, there are only a tiny number of seats there since the Po-leece stopped them from setting up tables outside, so you do take your chances. Unfortunately, last night [...]
“The Turkish” – homestyling in Mui Wo, Lantau.
Review: Went to The Turkish a couple of nights ago (real name Bahce Turkish). No idea why I don’t go there more often, as it serves seriously good food. Food: Well….it’s Turkish. Very home cooking feel, well presented. Fresh ingredients, with the impression that everything is lovingly prepared. All the dips and sauces are fresh [...]
Mrs Jones, Central – a bit mama/huhu
Review: Popped along for lunch at the new Mrs Jones restaurant at the top of Pottinger St a few days ago. I’ve always had a soft spot for Concept Creations venues so far as their service has generally been really good and friendly. However, I have to say that lunch was a bit horsey horsey [...]
Cecconi’s, Mayfair – mullets, gout, pearls and Birkins
Review: The three things I like most about Cecconi’s are the jade green leather chairs, their rabbit ragu, and sitting at their bar drinking Proseco on tap. As I mostly stay in Mayfair when I’m in London, Cecconi’s is always on the list for lunch. (The Wolseley is for breakfast/brunch, Cecconi’s is for late lunch/post-shopping glass [...]
