JJs

we celebrated our 8th anniversary (o wow!) earlier this week... we finally managed to draft a "restaurant-to-visit" list during our uk trip... we picked JJs in grand hyatt to celebrate the big day... it is, regrettably, a disappointment... i didn't take a single picture of the dinner because 1. we didn't actually bring a camera, 2. it's not my habit to take pictures of restaurants & food, 3. it's not worth it really...

the pre-dinner bits were all very nice... the catering department took my reservation & i got the window seat looking over the hotel lobby & lounge i requested... felt like a princess until the first bite... the decor is nice... perfect for a club... since JJs was formerly a club... but a bit odd for a thai restaurant & grill... i was welcomed by a strong smell of cigar once the elevator door opened... food was average & nothing but average... it's the ordinary spring rolls like dim sum in maxim's... ruthlyn's are definitely tastier... so was the soup... we had a curry whole lobster where the lobster was fresh but the sauce too stong and doesn't quite match with the lobster... rabbit's whisky is nothing particular either... only the mango + sticky rice made me smile... as good as ricepaper's... bill was of course expensive as expected for grand hyatt... i'd be happy to return if it's any thai restaurant in wan chai... sadly, it's not the grand hyatt standard we've expected...

if u really wish to set foot in the famous club... it's better to go for a drink... there's live music and the scene would be much more appropriate...
