Martini Madness
Sometimes a bit of hair of the dog is the only way to go on a Sunday to try to fix the excesses of the Saturday – mine was a crazy wedding – and luckily for Hangzhou there are a few places to choose from. The Hyatt Regency does a mean weekend Champagne Buffet Brunch [...]

The Oriental Restaurant, Landisson Hotel
I really want the Oriental to be a favourite, and while it seems to have everything to make it a favourite there is something just not quite right. For sure it is worth regular visits and perhaps if I went there a little more often I might be able to pin down what is unsettling [...]
