where i comment these days...

I make my comments on HK restos on 'TellMeWhere' .. an app on android, apparently started by some french canadians, presumably from montreal, who like to 'eat the east' ..... I don't find too much of an audience, and use it mainly as a record of my opinions on HK restos.

Latitude 22 Hong Kong

My due diligence... Lat 22 + is a famous restaurant with gringos in Mexico! it is called latitude 22 + roadhouse and the likes of american artists and musicians used to go south.. and when they passed south of latitude 22 they came to a wonderful roadhouse with great sea views, and wonderful break from the travel south.. good hospitality and wonderful mexican and american (omg) food! and we know Mexico or the US have no real food! ... lol ....

The one in hong kong is someone's attempt at a tapas effort, with good sangria (cheap red gringo red wine), with an effort at nouveau prices for small plates of HK's attempt at spanish food, consisting of expensive black pig ham (iberico), greasy shrimps, chorizo (sausages) no one would eat anywhere else, and somewhere, they try to bring in some interesting ingredients, like white anchovies... etc.... anyway i have set expectations ...

The resto is too new to even have 'open rice' reviews...... no real reviews... from anyone HK and some gwailos on trip advisor, foursquare, ... which are useless reviews...... so I would have no idea from anything that is on the net re Lat 22 HK. Let see what I have to say after we try.... It does sound like a great idea in Lan Kwai Fong though, to have a bunch of real tapas places to bar hop! BUT ....

The concept of tapas, I repeat, is to travel from one place to another, cover 3 tapas joints over an evening, having between 3 - 4 people, only one tapas at each resto and drinking one glass of red wine.... how do u think that compares with the way it works in HK above? usually partaking in the best dish in the house, like sardines perhaps at the first, potatoes at the second, and xxx at the third... if two people gets a pot of sangria and 6-8 tapas, we are then lost?
