Morning…! Bit of a grey one here today, looks like there might be a bit of a storm blowing in!
Thought I’d put some musings on here, rather than email. Might as well share the (?)wisdom(?)
As above, Stanley market is a bit grotty, but a nice early evening beer on the front at Stanley is rather nice. Food there is a little average, mind you!
Wan Chai – Yeah, it’s a bit seedy at times, but there are some great bars! Mes Amis (Very much an ex-pat place, but great for people watching from the corner), Amazonia (Home to the best pub rock covers band I’ve ever heard, of and great fun watching the drunk gwailos dancing with the “freelancers” and not realising that it’s going to cost!)
Food in Wan Chai? Went to American Peking the other night. Ignore the decor, or lack of, and look around you. All local people in there, which should tell you something!
Soho – Lively part of town, just above Central. Try Bistro Manchu and have the amazing fried lamb. Really nice little place.
Lan Kwai Fong – Mad, mad, mad little quarter of bars. Some great, some very average! Insomnia is a really good one (Best happy hour ever last time I was in there….free drinks from 2100 to 2300!) and they have a great Phillipino band in there playing cheezy covers. Very good band, though, I should add! Also, try the China Bar a little way up the hill.
Macau – Well, there’s Fernandos, which is a bit of an institution. Pretty much an old shack on the beach doing Portuguese food and ice cold Super Bock. Really laid back place, not gourmet but great! Casinos? Well, if you must. They’re all exactly as you’d imagine…!
Beach – Repulse Bay is quite nice, but will be rammed at the weekend.
