The Posh Lan Kwai Fong

This was our real first nite out in Hong Kong! We were ready to go out to liu the town & party!!!

Actually, never take what I say too seriously lah. You have to know that we are 3 thirty-somethings after a heavy meal. A far as partying goes, we are considered uncle & auntie already.

We were just 3 overfed tourists who needed a walk to digest very badly.

In Malaysia, the poshest place around for teek to kias has got to be at Bangsar. In Hong Kong, it's at a place called Lan Kwai Fong.

The place is located on a few hilly streets with branded shops, cool pubs, bars, clubs & restaurants. In fact, this place is so cool that it even has it's own website.

Lan Kwai Fong street is basically L-shaped, but the pubs, shop & restaurants have expanded out to D'Aguilar, Wyndham & Wellington Streets, Wo On & Wing Wah Lanes.

This place used to be called Mui Yan Hong (Matchmaker Lane). No, I'm not talking about the matchstick kind. It's the other kind of matchmaker, and they all lived here.

If you were still young & single back then, you'd make a trip here & maybe go home with a wife.

Then in the 80s, a Canadian German guy called Allan Zeman (The Father of Lan Kwai Fong - WAISAY!) came along & bought up some buildings & turned them into restaurants. And that's how it all started.

And like Bangsar, the place turned into an angmo hangout.


I read that there's a gay club called Disco Disco somewhere along D'Aguilar. We're just thankful that we didn't bump into it.

But instead, we bumped into this.

Yes, the place has its own beer! Launched in 2005 by the father himself, Allan Zeman.

And more bumps further down the road - Every woman's deepest desire.

Every man's nightmare.
