1/F 180 Electric Road, North Point
(between Fortress Hill and Tin Hau MTR)
Tel.: 2570 3939

Heard this restaurant is affiliated with Pumpernickel, but I am quite disappointed for the bread served with set lunch.
Quite many choices of main course for set lunch like sandwiches, pasta, risotto, steak or lamb etc.
The service is quite poor as there are not enough waiters/waitress which is common for many hk restaurants.
I don't mind to go again for simple lunch but not for supper.

G/F 148 Electric Road, North Point
(between Fortress Hill & Tin Hau MTR)
Tel. 2107 4628

The restaurant owner is the son of famous writer Kam Yung. You may see photos of some celebrities coming to this restaurant.
I just ordered simple food for quick lunch like Hot & Sour Soup, Dan Dan Mian, Xiao Long Bao, Spring Roll, Soup Dumpling etc.
Not very impressive about the food quality.
Maybe the dinner menu is much better & the decoration is quite nice.

New Grub Street (Penguin Classics) (buy from Amazon) by Bernard Bergonzi
Type: Fiction
Author: George Gissing

Posted by irene
Book introduction:
Stories of the life of the literary man in 19th century in the UK. How they struggle, deal with love/failure and success in their career.

My review:
Though this book was first published in 1891, I find the story resonates in our current society. The conflicts in life are the same. The stories describes very deeply about the person's emotion and struggles. The contrast of the main characters provokes further thinking.

Angels & Demons, Special Illustrated Edition (buy from Amazon) by Dan Brown
Type: Thriller
Author: Dan Brown
My rating: 5

Book introduction:
A world renowned CERN scientist is murdered by a secret brotherhood that is the sworn enermy of the Vatican church, why? The Vatican church is about to elect a new pope, a bomb with terrifying destructive power in the form of anti-matter is hidden somewhere in the Vatican city, the clock is ticking....

My review:
From the author of the Dan Vinci code, another extremely tense book, once you start reading it, you can't stop. Every twist and turn brings new excitment and mystery! It's full of interesting plots involving long presumed extinct secret brotherhood against the Vatican, what lies in the deep forbidden archives in the Vatican library...

1B, Tsing Fung Street, Tin Hau
2887 2895

Review: This is one of the EOS chain. The set lunches are good value for money. The seatings are very comfy and the setting is very relaxing and comforting. The main theme colour is dark green with a European style. The food is very nice, pity that the location isn't on a main street with better access. But then perhaps it could a good thing because of the quite atmosphere. We had set menus and ordered dessert afterwards: Beef steak, Seafood with lobster saurce, cheese cake, mocha cake and ginger cake. Highly recommended!

Review: This restaurant is very famous in Bangkok but I didn't try it before. I can only say that the food quality is "okay" (no surprise to me) but the portion is really small.
