Hopefully better luck next time!

While this gets really OT, I would also suggest the Yan Toh Heen a Michelin star Cantonese place in the IC Hongkong. "Unfortunately" as we stayed in that hotel, we also started our culinary adventure there, which put the ante very, very high for the other establisments. We also ate at The Spoon there, which was very good, but not as good as the YTH

Also try L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon
Shop 315 & 401, The Landmark, Central, Hong Kong
For Reservations : (852) 2166 9000
... at the barstools (not the tables at L'Jardin)
Even 3 Michelin stars, not too expensive....

Well, when it comed to food in Hong Kong I sure don't mind slight OT

Thanks WilcoRoger and sakari1707, now need to decide where I'll be eating! I really like both SteakHouse and Nobu at IC HongKong, and usually stay at the hotel too. This time though it will be Conrad, another favorite of mine.

dear all,

As season greetings are approaching and Mileage Runs are timely for many of us with segment/mile/point cutoffs at the end of the year, may I suggest we arrange our next meetup before mid December to exchange experiences and ideas again?

So... who's in?

PS
16-17 november is however blocked for me - pursuaded someone to do a status run and it wouldn't be nice of me to bail on that

I'm also out 7-11th Dec for an MR, but other than that I'm pretty flexible.

I'd go with SPBanker's idea of 3/Dec.

My calender was slightly out of sync above

Dec 3 doesn't work for me unfortunately, what about Dec 2?
