Spicy Island Restaurant

Good value at lunch!
Delicious Lamb/Chicken/vegetarian Indian curry platters at $45,
plus a lot of (mostly new) free reading materials & newspapers.

Basically empty during weekday lunches, you have the place all to yourself, people-watching Main Street life passing by...

After 3pm, a few regulars start their daily meetings at the bar...

I'd be far more inclined to eat here if it wasn't full of horriblr drunken old men talking crap and smoking, not a nice eating enviroment at all Sad

Which is a pity, as the food is quite good.

Yaffle is damn right. The drunkards are the worse pollution on the island. It's a pity because Spicy Island is quite a nice restaurant, good service, nice food, and very reasonable price.

The new decoration job is now complete. They were going to build a big wall between the boozer and the resturant, but ran out of construction funds. Also they found out that the pilings weren't deep enough. Corruption?

Plenty of lovely seating around the side outdoors. We are entering the lovely cool weather, and its far from the boozers. Thumb up

You can't knock Dicey Island. It may have a few gin soaked old codgers talking arse, but where else on the island can you get a set lunch for HKD35 which is fresh, tasty and fills you up? Nowhere, that's where. The A La Carte stuff is good too but doesn't compare to the set lunch/dinner. Thumbs up from me my Asian Subcontinental friends.

We are not 'gin soaked old codgers talking shite'. We just happen to be part of the furniture.

The Spicy Island has excellent vegetarian choices, the service is always very good, the old guys at the bar are really pretty nice and very funny, and most importantly... it is good eats... Cool

The screen is in place and adds a bit to the charm... large plant really accents the screen nicely. Try the Spicy Island again if you have not for a while, soup is really great, music is always playing to create fine atmosphere every day. Cool

Yes, I agree, very good eats, best curry on the island!
Just had the set lunch there again, $45, incl. soft drink.

Fast, friendly, helpful service, even explaining daily specials not on the menu, today's newspapers and magazines and great people-watching on Main Street...

The Deed Is Done!
Kumar's put up the wall.
In addition to the existing Dickbar, we've now got a Barbar, which serves to block the bar riffraff from the resturant area. Looks damn good.

Pictures to come. Didn't have any film in the camera. Embarassed

Nice one Kumar, an exclusive club for all gin soaked old codgers talking crap :!:

Marcus, Marcus, Marcus, please don't take offense, I meant it in a nice, homely way. But you do misquote me, I said talking arse, not talking crap.

Marcus · Posted: Wed Nov 20, 2002 8:49 am Post subject:

Sorry, I thought you were talking crap. I think shite would be be better than arse for this environment.

Cheers!

Dan · Posted: Tue Nov 26, 2002 12:26 am Post subject:

just out of interest, what is the difference between talking arse, crap and shite ?

Marcus · Posted: Tue Nov 26, 2002 4:20 am Post subject:

They are different from talking bollocks, shit and wank?

From now on, all shite-, arse-, crap- talking will take place BEHIND the wall. Dinin' out front, Drankin' out back. Actually the plant is quite a good conversationalist. Holds his own. Rolling Eyes

Just want to add that the family very much enjoys dining in and carrying out from Spicy Island. It is always a fine experience and we have been treated kindly and graciously, in addition to enjoying our meals at the restaurant and at home. My daughters enjoy the rice and breads from the oven... we enjoy the vegetarian choices. What is special about Spicy Island... the owners and customers are friendly and the owners explain all the items... if needed. Food quality is always excellent... made to order and done just right.

Nice little publicity stunt by Spicy Island. I saw Kumar on the street today and he wasn't wearing a face mask! Laughing

This photo was actually shot by one of the bar's regulars, a photographer working for the SCMP which published it yesterday.

If the legend is too small to read, here's a larger version:
