I've ordered twice for dinner - first, spicy salami, sun dried tomato and mushroom, second time chicken and mushroom pesto pasta. Both times have been great - pasta cooked perfectly and an awesome portion (even for me!).

Juices are also great of course - I recommend the 5 Green Blend (celery, cucumber, apple, green pepper, bitter melon).

I'll definitely be returning, I hope they can sustain the good quality.

This place is a hidden little Gem in Kennedy Town, tiny, but packs a punch when it comes to Pasta.

Yep - still here!
I'm up for playing once or twice a month - I actually started playing recently (I'm terrible )
Its very hard to find a court generally now - happy to do something in July if its OK with you and you can book something mid week / evening?

Thanks

Are you still in KT?
I really would like to start playing badminton on a regular base.
Could you let me know if you are interested, so we can book a court?

Cheers

They are opening Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings only - and will be closed all of August.

I feel compelled to spread the word - great location, environment and food. Somewhat expensive for the area, but the ingredients are as fresh as can be.

Worth a try - would love to hear some feedback also.]]> Sun, 16 May 2010 21:18:37 GMT http://www.dacasa.hk/kennedytown/messages.aspx?TopicID=73 Message from lynn seymour Tue, 27 Oct 2009 20:42:57 GMT http://www.dacasa.hk/kennedytown/messages.aspx?TopicID=72 Message from dacasa

1. Japanese on Catchick Street
2. New Dessert Place on Hau Wo Steet
3. And now... one more Dessert Place on Davis Street!

Please post any recommendations!

Thanks]]> Sat, 15 Aug 2009 15:25:40 GMT http://www.dacasa.hk/kennedytown/messages.aspx?TopicID=67 Message from chrisnew Not a shrinking problem, but a stain problem....

Many times I have noticed mild orange stains on white clothes which I had no recollection of… generally I didn’t take much notice as I assumed I was just a messy eater.

The last batch of laundry we picked up had orange stains all over my light clothes… this time heavy and wide spread – when we took it back to the laundry we were met with a very ignorant attitude … after much push they agreed to clean the stuff that was stained.

Unfortunately the attitude killed our loyalty – I suspect the stains were caused by contaminated water possibly from old plumbing (just a theory based on its rust like colour).

Would be very grateful for any recommendations…..]]> Sun, 28 Jun 2009 18:11:00 GMT http://www.dacasa.hk/kennedytown/messages.aspx?TopicID=69 Message from chrisnew
Generally speaking... tax is low (compared to UK at least), travel and food can be cheap.

Just my 2 cents.]]> Thu, 11 Jun 2009 19:51:24 GMT http://www.dacasa.hk/kennedytown/messages.aspx?TopicID=69 Message from Laurence Looks like we may be moving from middle east to HK this summer.
How does 50,000 HK$ /month sound to you? No package. Doesn't seem much here in ME?
It is a job I would like and a place we would like to be.
Hows about schooling for two young British girls and rents in KT area?
Any feedback would be extremely helpful.....
Thank you

i would propose to play Thursday evening - let me know if that is ok.

Ooooh I love the map! But I think it should be bigger! It should go all the way to Belcher's and include the Super Welcome in Westwood Mall. You can actually get food other than Chinese there - which is a small miracle. Mind you, they're slowly taking away all of the good things, probably because no one knows it exists.

Which one are you currently using?

Hi Kennedy Towners,

Does anyone know a good laundry place in KT (near Manhattan Heights) that doesn't shrink your clothes? I'm currently using one on Catchick street that has been progressively shrinking our clothes week by week.. ahh!

Thanks!

My best find (not for value) is the Japanese place on Davis Street. Good sashimi/sushi.

There's no english menu / service though - so take someone local speaking...

I am an ABSOLUTE Amateur... so would be needing to practice a bit first - I plan to pop in to the sports centre soon to check out the facilities.
Has anyone been to this place yet? Any feedback on nearby/good places besides the sports centre?

Shame merton doesnt have a court ]]> Sat, 28 Mar 2009 19:41:10 GMT http://www.dacasa.hk/kennedytown/messages.aspx?TopicID=62 Message from maggie cheers

My boyfriend and I have just moved to KT and he needs to go to work every morning in Soho. Does anyone know which mini buses go from Kennedy Town to Caine road/Soho or nearby? Thanks for your help!

I've looked in various places online but can't find anything for this route. Thanks!

I would be interested in playing badminton too.
Is there any place in KT for that?

Thanks

Did you manage to find a good plumber? Or did the management help out with the problem?

Lola Wrote:
We're at the Merton and need a plumber asap to fix dual leaks in the cistern in one of the bathrooms. Any recommendations?

While I'm here: any other Merton residents have problems with their cisterns? Ours constantly overflow and/or leak; it is really annoying and in the present case, the water has seeped through the grouting in the bathroom floor right through to the sitting room wall, which now has a dirty great water stain rising up it, along with requisite flaking paint and plaster falling off in chunks.

I've always suspected a problem with the water pressure in the building; every other flat we viewed had leaking cisterns too, but the weird 'explosions' out the top of the cisterns really can't be down to anything other than dodgy water pressure... I think.

Welcome to the Neighbourhood!

You are quite right - most of the notable bars and places to eat are within a couple of blocks in and around Davis Street.
We've just completed the creation of a little map to help people like yourself know what's what, and we also plan to add the contact details on the "Door to Door" section on the site soon.

This Map should hopefully help, the details are located on the Home Page of the Kennedy Town Neighbourhood (Scroll down, you will see it under features) www.dacasa.hk/kennedytown

I'm sure some of the other members will have local knowledge to share with you also!]]> Fri, 13 Feb 2009 13:47:04 GMT http://www.dacasa.hk/kennedytown/messages.aspx?TopicID=65 Message from Xavier
I ve just moved to KT, 3 days ago.
I didn't have time yet to visit around, but my first feeling is that it seems extremely quiet!
That is more or less what I was looking for, but maybe it's too much.
Any nice place to go at night for a beer, a glass of wine ?
I need to check Davis Road, because it seems that "everything" is there...

Anyway, that was just for saying hello.
I hope life is good here, people are nice, and I don't need to always stay in central to enjoy after-work life.
This website seems good.

Best

Another alternative U can try is take the Red mini bus going to Causeway Bay via the upper road which will pass thru Pokfulam, Bonham road, Caine road etc... The red mini bus route is from Belcher's street, then take a turn going to smithfield road (the road Macdonald is situated. I have try in the past, I am not sure whether it is still the same now.]]> Fri, 06 Feb 2009 11:14:05 GMT http://www.dacasa.hk/kennedytown/messages.aspx?TopicID=64 Message from ritaching88 ]]> Fri, 06 Feb 2009 11:07:19 GMT
