Where art tho restaurants?

One downside about living on the southside are the lack of restaurants. Sure, there's Stanley, but the food is mediocre except for Lucy's and Pizza Express which we love. We've tried the places in the Murry House and were not that impressed. Has anyone tried Angelotti's? Do I even have the spelling right? It's right behind Wellcome on that little back street where Curry Tiffin is. If you, do post a comment and let me know how it is! But I digress - - - - So there's Stanley, there's Repulse Bay (The Verandah, Y and Spice's) which have not very recession friendly. I just read in Time Out about South Bay Bistro (any one tried that one??) and that's basically it.....Am I missing any restaurants??? Of those, there are only a handful that are both good and child-friendly - Pizza Express, Wildfire, Spice's are the ones that immediately come to mind.

Any place else?

A Saturday Just for Two

We are here in HK for Chinese's New Year since my husband has to work. It's not sooo bad.....It really just means that our helper, Judy gets Monday - Wednesday off. As a result, J and I decided to have a special Saturday morning of just us two in Central. We began it with an amazing breakfast L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon in The Landmark. We both had mixed omlettes which were perfectly cooked and not an ounce of oil or butter dripping from it. The croissants are deliciously buttery and flaky. The coffee is strong and the service is top notch. Only drawback was that it was quite dark inside. Next we walked up to Wellington Street for 50 minutes of pure bliss at Happy Foot. #35 and #36 gave amazing massagges which then ended with a ten minute back rub. It's one of the best $25USD we've spent! After our massages we cabbed it over to Times Square for a quick dim sum lunch at Heinchinrou which is my new favorite spot. The restaurant clean and family friendly. I loved the spring rolls and dumplings. Another bonus is that you can actually do some shopping below afterwards! Yes, we were stuffed afterwards and cabbed it back just in time for MJ's afternoon nap. After we put MJ down for the night, we quietly snuck back into Central to Lung King Heen in the Four Season's where we ordered the best Peking duck which comes to you in two courses - the first being in pancakes and then second being minced up in lettuce wraps. Yes, we knew we were just two people. My husband ate 12 pancakes out of 18 pancakes. We each then had two lettuce wraps and had to take home the rest. It was such a fun Saturday then I think I might stay in HK any day!
