it was a nice one, all in all. started off going to check out lupa, which has opened in hong kong but they dont open until 6 and would not serve my colleague and i a glass of wine, despite our desperation (yes, we left work at 515 to find an adult beverage) and my pleading. "just a glass of wine at the bar? we wont make a fuss." "no, we open at 6pm." so off to zuma as it was the closest waterhole on what was a very rainy night. my colleague's husband and le hagis met us there and we had another one. nothing like a good b*tch and moan session with friends over reassuringly expensive cocktails.
then we went off to domani next to pacific place to celebrate my 'special day'. for those of you who dont know, in my family we celebrate the day we came home to the us - it is much like a birthday. i was excited as i have not been to domani. being italian style (i.e. small dishes, multiple courses), i ordered the gnocchi and a pan fried seabass. hagis ordered a tomato jelly and the pork fillet. my gnocchi was so great - light and tasty but the fist was just dry and bland. overall the meal was average but my favourite part was when we asked for the sommelier to give us suggestions. he was like a glorified bus boy with a little grape pin on his lapel and suggested the most expensive bottle he could find within our taste description. needless to say, we ended up ordering two glasses...
saturday brought a tough dragon boat practice, some drinks down by the water in stanley and home asleep around 10. and sunday was a lovely brunch at bloom with a full three courses of a buffet, egg main and a great apple and blueberry crumble! we went and took our fat @$$es to the movies later and saw 'avengers' which was good and perfect for a sunday evening.
so all in all, a good weekend and tomorrow is a bank holiday!!!! hiking and more food are on the agenda and lady gaga concert on wednesday!
xoxo
