Open for business from 16 Jan. Lots of variety. Food was good, Kebab rolls are reasonably priced and the staffer was courteous. |

For a tantalizing moment I thought you meant they did dolphin there. Ah well, it'll have to wait til my next trip to ol' Nippon. |

So we went there last night. "I'll have the chicken kebab" - "Sorry, we ran out of chicken" "oh. Umm.... ahhh... ok, lamb then." - "No, we also have no lamb. We have meatballs..." "...hmm, maybe, what else?" - "We have meatballs." Victims of their own success, I fear. |

Tried it out last night with a friend and was favourably impressed. Unpretentious chicken kebab chips and salad was tasty and the service was prompt and polite. The lack of drinks looked like it would spoil the party, but they don't mind you getting a beer or bottle of wine from the stores nearby, so problem solved. Wandered on to the bookworm to round off with a cup of tea and slice of cake each - yikes! the bill was $134, considerably more than the main meal plus beers. Won't be going there again. |

Nope, two people, cake and cuppa each. I wondered why the place was empty. |

Last day of Mr Kebab on Lamma: Nov 20. The landlord will redevelop the building and wants them out long before they'll actually tear down the entire building. Just one year and ten months since they opened for business, they were on a 2-year contract, knowing about the redevelopment but hoping they could stay much longer after investing a huge amount into the place. We'll miss their fish grill and chicken shish rolls, see below.... The quite new Mr. Kebab branch in TST, Hart Avenue, seems to be doing well: Mr. & Mrs. Kebab.<HR> Next victim of redevelopment: LaLa mama. The notice is up on the bulletin board opposite HSBC right now. Jackson will be redeveloping both adjoining buildings on Main Street, his own property agency and the building LaLa mama is in now. They're also on a 2-year contract and knew about the pending redevelopment. That's why Green Cottage moved from there to a new location 2 years ago. The Lamma property boom is killing more and more restaurants on Main and Back Street. In the meantime, driven out by a massive rent increase, the former Emily's ice-cream parlour and all the rooms behind remain closed off. The clothing store in there was only open for a few days on weekends before it shut down and has remained closed since. It's still unknown how much time Diesel's has left before it'll be replaced by TWO village houses. There was quite some opposition to the redevelopment but it doesn't seem to have had any effect? The rental contract is month-by-month and they could be told to close down anytime on quite short notice. And the former Pizza Milano rest. will become another Lamma handicrafts/t-shirts/souvenirs shop when the current handicrafts shop opposite Granny Chan's will move in there soon after the current refurbishing-in-progress. The (very nice) proprietor of that shop is the daughter (?) of the landlord of the former Pizza Milano.... Maybe, after all the redevelopments and the mess, noise and inconvenience of tearing down and rebuilding houses right on Main Street, in 2 years or so, we might get some new restaurants, but they'll probably be very expensive to cover their astronomic rents in those brand-new buildings.

By all accounts the boom is over. HK property prices are already in retreat (fact) and rents will be sure to follow. Lamma may enjoy its usual time-lag effect, but it's only a matter of time ... Question is, how far backwards will it go? |

On Lamma I find its a bit more difficult to negotiate the price on a property you might like to buy as it seems the ones that are currently on the market are people trying to take advantage of the price boom - and who can blame them really - but the problem is that most dont really need to sell so if they can get a sky high price - they will sell them - if not they just plop them back in the rental market |
