This might sound very weird, but know where they serve the best burgers in Hong Kong?
Nah, not some burger place- but the Blue Bar at the Four Seasons.
Well, they’re not really burgers per se, but burgerlettes- three small burgers as one order- and absolutely delicious.
Same with their miniature fish and chips- far more tasty than the vastly over-priced and over-battered Fish and Chips at the incredulously overrated The Pawn.
Sure, we appreciate the decor, but the prices for the quality of the food? Obscene- or are we paying for the thrill of sitting with some of the shee shee crowd that preen around Hong Kong?
On the subject of preening, are we really ready for a reality series based around Kim Robinson, the preening life of that hairdresser to the Hong Kong shee shee crowd?
Mercifully, there are still no takers for the pilot for this series. Fingers crossed that it stays this way.
From shee shee to Babu, the new kebab place situated right next to The Kebab House which is located a few steps away from extreme rival Ebenezer’s, another kebab house.
Holy Kebabs, Batman, what’s going on?
Well, what’s going on is that Babu, opened by our great friend Ram Sharma, below, who runs Lebanese restaurant Marouche and with interests in Restoration and the club Rayne, is many kebabs ahead when it comes to the quality of the meats and ingredients and the cleanliness of the kitchens.
Babu is no taboo and we strongly recommend it over the Kebab House which was a favorite for a long time- but, to us- has not only seen a huge drop in customers, but also a drop in quality even when whacked out at 4am and not caring what one is eating.
We just wish where these two kebab joints and Drop, Marouche, Gekko and the Buddha Lounge are located can drive out those Nigerian coke dealers plying their trade right under the noses of the local constabulary- and who stash their “product” down the alley where Gekko is located with a gramme of cocaine going for $500.
It’s pretty appalling to see Little Nigeria operating so openly in this area and where, last night, one of these parasites was seen whacking a customer coming out of Drop.
Charming.
