99Y buffet at Landison
Was snooping around the MOREHangzhou website on Sunday looking for somewhere to go for buffet lunch and the 99Y++ deal at Cafe Le Rendevous, Landison grabbed the attention. 99Y? Got to be a catch. MORE says you have to make a reservation with them to get the discount, so I duly did.

Paninis!
The Segafredo coffee, double thick double espresso was so strong the backs of my eyes watered and my nose tingled.

Fengdu Restaurant (枫都美食)
It would seem to be a serious omission that there isn’t a page on here about Fengdu Restaurant, as it is a veritable gem, nearly always open, great for after after-dinner-drinks dinner And it’s right next door to my favourite drinking establishment, Maya Bar. So time to correct that omission my first day back to [...]

7 Club | 7号酒吧
7 is a local. You only have to go once and everybody will remember your name. Cheap beers, as well as not-so-cheap imported bottled beer, an across the board half-price Happy Hour from opening, 5.30 or so, to 8.30 means that you’ll be there after work for a couple and before long will have forgotten your dinner, forgotten the time, and how to get home.

Not quite what you find on Sloane Street, but nevertheless, cold beer, pizza slices, tasty sandwiches with good [...]

Me Too Cafe | 蜜桃咖啡
From the West Side of Hangzhou Me Too Cafe 蜜桃咖啡 is a bit of a slog, so why not make an afternoon of it – wasnt as if I had never been there, so I knew it would be easier enough to do. And in any case, the cafe is a part of a factory re-design aka Docklands or something in London. There is literally loads of space with high ceilings, design companies, designer home-fittings shops and more open each month. That by itself is worth the effort.

IFE Cafe
IFE – anybody know if that is a name, or initials of something else? – is a local daytime hangout aimed firmly at the foreign students living and working at Yuquan Campus of Zhejiang Uni.. The place is tiny, self service, cosily decorated and has pretty good coffee, both to drink and beans to buy. [...]

Lei Lei Dumpling | 蕾蕾水饺
Lei Lei makes the best dumplings in the world. It’s not open to discussion. And she knows it. The place is full, too busy for delivery, extra cash for hot sauce and paper napkins cost 1Y a pack. But go anyway. My favourite is the 贵妃肉 (guifeirou – Dont know what’s in it). For me, [...]
