Restaurant & Bar News   (Nov 2004)

 

 

The big news this month was the soft opening of the Yung Shue Wan Village Bakery (see above & below).

Also, the former Waterfront Bar & Restaurant has just reopened on Nov 14!  A first visit was a very positive experience, great terrace, reasonably-priced Italian-style menu, good spot to meet friends. But it has closed already for more renovations! More details after the (unannounced) reopening date.

Last but not least, the Cococabana Restaurant in Mo Tat Wan is serving a seasonal game menu these days. See pictures.

 

Mon, Nov 1, 2004, at 1pm, the Village Bakery opened its doors to the first eager customers. Crowds gathered quickly and the Chinese-style bread products were sold out quickly. The huge variety of Western-style *real* breads, cakes & pastries is wider than in many hotel bakeries in town! A range of gourmet sandwiches will be offered later, after the *official* opening. See recent official announcement. Warmest congratulations to owner Charlie, project manager Dave & his capable crew, jolly baker Tommy and the cheerful, friendly, bilingual counter staff who already remember my name these days.

 

First food tasting review by Lamma-Gung: Very wide selection; clean, appetising presentation; crusty, *real* bread; yummy, savoury fillings; great-looking cakes; many flavours of "Flavoured Spring Water"; friendly service; expect to pay a little extra for quality!
