"Cold on cold nights (some bus-stops in the Civic Centre hub are open and exposed to wind, though seem safe); dress warmly if you might wait a while."

"Beautiful food. Strangely empty on Feb 14."

"Beautiful old-world charm. Perhaps trying to do too much with an over-abundant menu."

"Always excellent. I asked for jasmine tea; was told green was in. I grimaced that was so bitter. I think she made it herself, then: out came the mildest, most beautiful mug of green tea I've had."

"Great local fish market. 1. Choose whole fish. Weigh&price. 2. Ask to have it cleaned&filleted, flesh packed separately from head&bones (free). 3. Make 20 min. stock from bones&veg. Use in fish dish."

"The beans are back! Along with a sponsor one can like much better."
