Don't forget the Marathon Cafe at 165. Ham and egg on a pineapple bun, beef tendon, Hong Kong style breakfast. Pretty good.

Cmon, you can do better than that. Marathon has a good cup of HK Milk Tea, but their food can be much better. I don't even like Cha Kee, but they do better HK style cafe than Marathon.

I guess it’s time to ask: where does little ring fit into the ratings?

Haven't tried that place out yet. My go to places are the following.

Hong Kong Wing Tai and Crissly Cafe

 

[Keshi]

The two spas are owned by the same owner. I still can't figure out why she needed both spas side by side. At one point she used to own Dream Inn location as well, 3 spas at the same time and sometimes no girls at Dream Inn location and Sunrise.

BTW...I saw bylaw driving around at 160 EBC plaza this afternoon but didn't seem like he stop anywhere. All the spas are open with Open signs on and every spa seems quite busy. All the spas across the street at 155 and 165 were all closed except DetanDu

How come 160 is okay but 155/165 have all closed up?

I stand corrected and defer to the authentic HK gangsters SMpanties and YYZto.

In my defence I am a gwailo and visited after a Pickyreviewer comment last year in the Sentosa thread. Girl I know was happy with their half sweet tea, and the place was always full with people speaking loud canto.

Are the places you suggested in EBC?

Oh man. Are you going to go down that rabbit hole? There are so many HK style cafes kicking around and they are all good for different reasons. The two mentioned aren’t local to EBC.

I don’t have any particular preference since I am not Chinese and don’t know what it’s supposed to be like.. but lots of decent places kicking around. Generally speaking they all serve good food for a decent value to a great value. Not at all healthy though. My go to places lately have been good catch in the birchmount/enterprise area just because of the convenient underground parking (going there today actually..) and cafe Hollywood because it’s open later in the evening and proximal to some of my friends.

It sounds like some people here should start a good thread

ETA: I also go to those two places because of the big screens makes it easier to watch sports. I will almost certainly be spending more time if Canadian hockey teams go deeper into the playoffs.

You can try old street cafe. They have 2 locations. Their chicken with rice are the best. Haha.

No sorry. One place is Yonge and Elgin Mills. The other is Kennedy/Denison and Kennedy/Bur Oak.

On the topic of you being a gwailo, I do encourage you to consider planning trips to South East Asia. Hobbying in Hong Kong or Thailand is a lot more fun than it is here.

Lived in Singapore back in the day (there I am an Ang Mo in Hokkien: literally a red ghost), still visit regularly. Have visited former colleagues and toured around Vietnam, Thailand, Laos and Malaysia. Pattaya is pretty cringe and vulgar, Geylang in Singapore has the best restaurants and is much more subtle. Strangely enough I never hobby there, guess I get my real fill just by socializing with people.

Been to Indonesia more than a few times. In Jayapura last century, formerly the province of Irian Jaya, now West Papua, I met some Australian miners who were down from Freeport MacMoran gold mine in the highlands, and they were there to hobby. Followed them to a brothel but did not partake, girls behind the glass, pick one then dance and share a table. Had to pay a "fine" to take them out of the place then pay the girl. Younger Aussie guy picked a girl and started dancing, maybe a minute later he came to the table telling me to dance with her, and was crying. I danced a bit and joked around but as a young researcher I had a different moral compass so didn't proceed. Aussie came back saying the girl was the same size as his daughter and he felt sad all of a sudden. Saw the two guys a couple of days later. They had been to MacArthur's famous WW2 comfort station near Lake Sentani, called the Oyster Ranch. After the troops left the area remained a center for the sex trade servicing Javanese transmigrants, as the local Papuan people were still pretty much living tribal lives they had since the stone age. Anyhow, Aussie guy had gotten over his guilt shame associatian, was bragging about having 3 ladies to himself for the entire night.

Went to Japan twice last year, and heading back again in the fall, and never hobby there. Again, the red-light areas are less seedy and have great night life in general, lots of Izakayas where people are quite outgoing.

I won't visit Hong Kong anymore, that one country/two system promise has been crushed and I mourn what was once one of the world's great free cities. Looking forward to visiting Taipei to watch some baseball, I find Eva Air just awesome.
