The picture looks like a gift shop rather than a restaurant... Where do you eat?

sorry about the lack of eating space but we are just a take away food supplier. In case you are thinking about gifts, it is the festive season so come on in and buy some fo the gists you can see !

<img src="http://www.lamma.com.hk/forum/images/e-zine/16/rhea.jpg" border=1 hspace=10 align=left>I've heard a rumour (inventing & spreading it, in fact) that Dan is so successful that he'll soon start to franchise his take-away Anastasia's!

As he's been naming his shop & take-away after his daughter, he had to get more children first before being able to franchise!

Voila, his second daughter Rhea, born just a week ago, together with the famous, vivacious Anastasia!
No helicopter ride to hospital in town this time, but a more regular, non-emergency birth, fortunately. Mother & child are healthy & fine!

Expect a Rhea's to open on Lamma soon!

Good news, after a brief Christmas break, we are open as usual from tonight onwards (3/1/03).

I will be posting an all new menu over the week-end including warming soups as some of you found out last Monday. :lol:

:D Happy New Year :D

Hello Dan,

Any news on the opening of Rhea's Dessert Palace?
Opening around Chinese New Year maybe, selling all those delicious Chinese New Year sweets? :wink:

Just so you know, Dumplings are an English thing, certainy not Irish (Irish Stew with Dumplings) or Scottish (Scottish Beef with Dumplings). You are getting confused. In Scotland a dumpling is a fruit cake, and i hope that's not what you are serving with the Scottish beef! Potatoes, far better idea.

Not wanting to be an ass about this, but why didn't you apply for a take away licence? People doing what you do/did have always been shut down in Lamma, it was always just a matter of time. Remember the bacon sandwich man on the ferry pier in the morning, little Edwin the dancer selling GRREAT sandwiches outside the post office, all gone, all a matter of time.

Go the right way, get a licence, and come back to us, you were a success in a dark period for the world!!

No doubt I will get flamed by the 'ex-hippies' for this, as you should 'be allowed to do what you want, man', but it's just not the case!

Good luck, hope to see you feeding the troops again soon.

Yes Dan, I agree with this good ass, that's a good advice he gave you. If you've got what it takes then, DO IT THE RIGHT WAY ! otherwise it's a rough ride all along. Hard luck my friend but don't give up, I wish success in your ventures.

I've never tried your food.

I have to say I'm surprised someone would open a food stall illegally!?!?!? Are licences hard to come by? Did you apply for one? Did you 'fail' the test?

Are Lamma people saying that they don't care about their health? !?!?!

Second thoughts - there's Dan's food stall photo right here (beginning of this thread) on the My Lamma board! If the Police read this board, what about the anti-hawking troops?

Chris,
The police does NOT read this board, neither does the hawker patrol or anybody else in govt. that we're aware off.

That silly rumour of the police reading this board was started by Mr. DickStock, because the police showed up at his house one day before DickStock with a printout of the e-zine announcing the event.
But as we found out a bit later, incl. photographic proof, they simply ripped off a printout of the e-zine from the ferry pier wall where I had posted it to promote Lamma.com.hk. Click here for full story.

I'm not posting the e-zine on walls anymore since then and we're very careful not to cause any legal trouble for anybody in the e-zine or on My Lamma in general. Anything posted on My Lamma is public, potentially anybody could read it, the one posting it is responsible & liable for the content, as on all HK bulletin boards.

Anastasia's problems started because somebody made an official complaint against them to the Hawker Patrol, not because the Hawker Patrol would checking all the restaurants in our online listings for licenses! We've never had any indication that any of them, incl. Anastasia's, had a license problem.
Also, they've advertised their daily menu on the walls around YSW extensively, every day.

I loved Anastasia's food and Dan's informative, fun & friendly banter. It's very sad to see him close down. I tried to convince him to make it all fully legal, but it costs something like $300,000+ to comply with all restaurant regulations and get a license. This figure has been confirmed by other Lamma restaurants, even take-aways where the food is prepared off-site.

Dan has no choice but to close down and to support his growing family (2 daughters) by (very reluctantly) becoming a wage slave again, starting an office job right after CNY, suit & tie, early morning ferry to Central...

As you say ANYONE can read this board. So who's to say the Police 'don't' read it! hahahahaha

License wise - it is a pain in the butt.

It sounds like Dan is a very capable man if he has a new job already. I don't see anything demeaning in "suit & tie, early morning ferry to Central..."?

Presumably he has a HK ID and is luckier than most people. GOOD LUCK TO YOU DAN!

On the other hand, Dan! You could also do private catering to make extra pennies! Or Talk to some of the restaurants and see if you can do any piggy-back food sales. You guys aren't looking at this as a challenge!!!!

I tried to convince Dan to run the business as a club. You know, members only type of arrangement and the government would have no means to stop it. The problem is that he already accepted the suite+tie job, and the weekends will be occupied with his family I suppose. Anastasia is now history, but it surely was a tasty one.
