The God of Fortune and his helpers have been visiting Main Street the other day, going from shop to shop, restaurant to restaurant:

Latest bar & restaurant news:

The Lamma Space, besides the former Diesel's, Joyce's new venture, has been open for a little while now, offering Western takeaway lunch and dinners. Separate story and pictures coming up soon...

Lamma Grill is NOT going to move into the center of the village, just below Love's Dance Studio. They've been looking for another place to move to. More news tba.

Toni the Coffee Guy in Tai Yuen New Village, only open on Sunday mornings before, might be moving to the front of Prime Bar & Grill, offering his gourmet coffee all week. Prime will also be opening earlier, offering breakfasts on some week days.

After the great success of the first Comedy Night in Prime, another one will be happening soon, probably in April. It'll be outdoors and include an open mike session for new Lamma talents.

The "Twilight Fish Market" outside The Waterfront is getting a curvy roof soon, under construction since Lunar New Year. Ah-Ying (Doris) outside Andy's Seafood might move her fruit/veggies/assorted goods stall there as well.

Any more news I might have missed?

Toni sells his coffee every morning, not just on Sundays.

Apparently Doris is now taking the space under Love Studios.

Once the fish market space has its fancy new roof will its opening hours be more user friendly?

One more bar in YSW has just opened!

Seaside terrace and wine bar, great feedback so far!
3 built-in Internet screens, available for private parties (we had the dog poisoning meeting in there 2 months or so ago).

Have a look, just after the Just Green shop (which has a similar seaside terrace for self-serve wine, beer & drinks)

Poster from the "Democracy Fence" (opposite the former "Democracy Wall").
This place inside a G/F shop up in Tai Yuen Village on the way to Hung Shing Yeh beach has obviously been open since before Lunar New Year, but I hadn't notice it as it's far away from YSW Village.

Show them this photo below on your smartphone and get $1 discount. Nice idea! More local restaurants should try this type of promotion. But maybe a more attractive discount and a QR code linking to their location map, Facebook page or website?

No, really! Kevin the Voigtian & his family are leaving HK end of the month, so it might be REALLY their last gig this time, after a few farewells over the years:

"Awesome gig - definitely reminds me of the good old Lamma days!"

Kevin Voigt writes:

"FINAL MONTH: A look back at our two decades in Asia before we leave March 31. Come out this Saturday for Transnoodle's final gig. Last performance tonight!

The end of another era, with the last ever final appearance (probably) of Transnoodle, supported by Brain Damage with a hint of Nude. Tonight at the Island Bar, Lamma Island, 8pm until the Island's finest come calling. Thanks everyone, especially John for his keen eye for a riff and iconic lyrics, and Saekifying the odd song or two from the rest of us. The music will live on!

June 2009. Our eponymous song, "Transnoodle," recorded for the Underground Hong Kong II compilation. This song is kinda not the story of how the band came into being.
Transnoodle is the nickname of a Sichuan restaurant in Lamma Island, Hong Kong that's actually called Lung Kong. It was in a conversation with Darren Hayward that John Saeki decided to name his band Transnoodle.
The song is about waiting for takeaway (takeout) and reading the paper. Pics courtesy Tim O'Brien. Mix by Koya Hisakazu:"

Pizza Milano's Danny, Jenne and the 3 kids (20, 16, 13) will be emigrating to East Canada, not far from Montreal.

Danny's semi-retiring after his recent successful cancer surgeries. Wishing our friends all the very best for their future life! They promised to keep us up-to-date via their Facebook pages. After 20 years living in Canada long ago, Danny might return to Lamma someday, perhaps.

Let's celebrate another end of a Lamma era, as Pizza Milano has been part of YSW for so long, way before we arrived here more than a dozen years ago....

What's going on over Easter in Lamma's restaurants?

It's unusually quiet these days, even though there might be new record visitor arrivals on the ferries, a "Perfect Storm" with Easter Sunday, Lamma Day with dragonboat/sampan races and Canto Opera by a new-for-Lamma opera troupe on a probably sunny and warm Sunday with holidays before and after the day.

Concerto Inn Easter promotions

From Prime Bar & Grill:

"Chef Kris is brining the Beef Brisket today and cooking it tomorrow. Give me a suggestion on how you want to see it cooked and plated and if I choose yours - YOU CAN HAVE ONE FREE!"

Plus an exchange today on the usually advertising-free Lamma Dog Owners Facebook group:

{L_ATTACHMENT}:

Trey Menefee: I usually don't allow ads on the group, but advertisers don't usually offer Lamma dogs a lamb shank...

Kris Moa: That is a lamb shank bone! But it's a gooood bone. Sunday, there will be a lamb LEG bone.

Lamma-Gung: Will this generous, free offer also apply to hungry-but-poor guests who'll be eager for the delicious, nutritious marrow inside those bones?

Nice view... where is this place? Can you post a picture of the front, so I can find my way to this back?

It's at Prime Bar & Grill. 47 Main Street, YSW

Come in the bar across from the old Diesel's on Main Street. Walk thru the bar and then out the back thru the kitchen and you will find this patio, and two more also.

What's happening on Mother's Day, May 11, in Lamma's restaurants?

First one to send their promotions, Concerto Inn:

Trying their children's menu recently (after them sniggering about me being eager to try it), I actually enjoyed this a lot.
It's actually OK value for money, including drink and ice cream for below $100, all inside a kids-friendly Space Shuttle! I wonder if they've got a dish especially for girls?
