The Vegetarian Option: La Mujer Gala, Bringing Tapas to Prospect Heights
Dining out meat-free.
In a case of rapid New York City restaurant turnover, the space that once was Aliseo Osteria Del Borgo, the Italian spot on Vanderbilt Avenue in Prospect Heights, is now La Mujer Gala, a tapas and small plates restaurant that leans more heavily on true, Spanish-style tapas than on the generic small (but typically expensive) plates offered all over town these days.
Aliseo shut its doors in early February, and La Mujer Gala opened just a few weeks later, the restaurant's interior remaining unchanged and its head chef, Jennifer Cole-Ruiz, also staying at the helm—but totally redoing the menu. Cole-Ruiz has plenty of experience with Spanish food: she worked under luminaries such as Juan Mari Arzak of Arzak and Andres Madrigal of Balzac during her 15 years abroad, and was the opening chef of the luxurious Eurostars Madrid Tower's restaurant. (She also competed—and won—on season 8 of the popular Food Network show Chopped.)
At La Mujer Gala, Cole-Ruiz has created an expansive menu of appealing tapas plates that includes a bevy of vegetarian offerings, which comes as a welcome surprise given the tendency of pork to show up in many a Spanish dish. Dishes are small, but generous compared with many of the city's small plates, and prices are fair.
Each meal starts with a little bowl of complimentary popcorn dusted with Spanish paprika (pictured at top). It's crunchy, salty and smoky, a perfect match to a glass of the restaurant's cava.
No trip to a Spanish restaurant is complete without an order of pan con tomate ($4, pictured above), grilled bread rubbed with garlic and tomato and drizzled with olive oil. One of the simplest Spanish dishes, it can also be one of the best, the crunchy, garlicky bread topped with sweet but acidic tomato and luxurious with olive oil. La Mujer Gala's version was strong, using good-quality bread and buttery Arbequina oil, but it suffered from a lack of salt (a general problem at the restaurant). Now is perhaps not the best time of year for the dish, as the tomato flavor was a bit wan.
Another topping-on-bread option is coca de escalivada con queso de Alt Urgel ($7.50), or roasted vegetables with Alt Urgel cheese on Catalan flatbread. The dish sounded appealing, but fell flat (no pun intended) due to the bread underneath, which wasn't a flatbread at all but rather a rectangle of commercial puff pastry that wasn't all that crispy. The roasted eggplant, red peppers, and onions piled atop the puff were sweet, and the soft Alt Urgel was rich and oozy. They would make great toppings were they matched with a better foundation.
A basic but flavorful dish of Spanish lentils ($6) was more successful. A simple lentil stew is topped with a perfectly poached quail egg and a drizzle of fresh herb oil. The dish as listed on the menu comes with a Serrano ham crisp; just ask the waitstaff to omit the ham for a vegetarian option.
I was surprised at the form seared vegetables with Romesco sauce ($6) took. Instead of a rustic approach, thinly-sliced eggplant, green zucchini, and red pepper were rolled around an asparagus and onion interior, with a dollop of intensely flavored Romesco—typically prepared with ground almonds, roasted red peppers, sherry vinegar and lots of garlic—on the side. The textures of the dish were solid, but disappointingly, the vegetables weren't actually grilled—some smoky char would have been welcome.
The restaurant's one vegetarian main dish, fideua de setas ($14) or toasted angel hair pasta with mushrooms, is its strongest offering by far. Fideua is a bit like paella made with noodles instead of rice: ultra-thin spaghetti is browned in olive oil until toasty and crispy, then topped with saffron-infused broth and, typically, seafood, then baked in the oven until the pasta absorbs the broth and becomes tender. In this case, earthy, perfectly cooked mushrooms are used, and the noodles underneath are soft while the top crust remains crispy. La Mujer Gala's menu is full of intriguing options. Hopefully, with time, more of them will rise to the level of this dish.

Donnie nailed it…
Many of you have read in recent news reports that Don Mattingly has given a lot of thought over the winter about his first address to the team…well, in my clearly biased opinion, he nailed it this morning. There's a lot of buzz around camp today about just how smoothly things are running and there's definitely a tone that Donnie has set that has everyone feeling optimistic about 2011.
42 Comments
Sounds good. I have high hopes for Mattingly.
All reports indicate a completely different vibe at Dodger camp in 2011. I sure hope that translates into a brand of baseball that resembles how the Dodgers approached the game for decades; pitching, defense, fundamentals, bunting, hit and run, moving guys over, and more pitching. Donnie Baseball played the game the way it was supposed to be played, I hope for all of Dodger Nation that his managerial style motivates this current crop of Dodgers to show up to play EVERY day with that same passion.
Can't be any worse than Torre can he? Just saying that Dre and Kemp will bat 3-4 all year and naming an opening day starter already has been an improvement. Too bad Ned's the one getting him "personnel."
From the last thread – Hey Eric & Wally! It was either enchantedbeaver or themagicalpussy, but I didn't want to be misconscrewed!
From the previous thread…. OMG!!!! Boys, boys, boys – LMAO!!!!!
I do like how things seem to be shaping up. Can't wait for the games to begin.
Donnie Baseball will stay awake during games.
If Donnie stated "Sell the team!!" then yes he nailed it!!!
LMAO, Enchantedbeaver!!!!
There are plenty of reasons to be optimistic about the state of the Dodgers, despite every effort made by Frank and Jamie to destroy it.
Spring is here, games start on Saturday and we have a new manager who was one of the most gritty players in the history of Major League Baseball.
He's the exact opposite of Joe Torre and that is exactly what this group of Dodgers needs.
Go Blue!
Enchantedbeaver your gonna need a bigger paperbag if the season causes you too cover up.
LOL. I like!
Agree, there is plenty to be optimistic about! Spring is in the air! I head to Glendale Saturday morning! Vin Scully is still broadcasting for our Dodgers! I am looking forward to seeing Don Mattingly as the manager and Davey Lopez back with the Dodgers!
Sorry Josh — I had to do it.
Donnie is the boss so I will support the guy. There were a couple of others that I would of chosen over him but now that he is the man I'm supportive of him.
I also think of him playing the game the correct way. I think we might be a little better than we are thinking we will be but still don't have enough to get a ring. I think with a new coaching staff and a clean slate they will be better. Sometimes adversity helps one grow and mature. Let's hope this will be the case with the Blue!
Thus far I'm happy having an opening day starter named as well as having Matt & Dre batting back to back and he being committed to them.
I'm not happy about talk of Blake hitting in the #2 slot or that Matt will bat in front of Dre. I think Dre should be in the 3 spot & then Matt.
What do you all think?
LOL!!! I'm much more optimistic with Donnie than JoJo!! Good stuff everyone.
Collie, as I was telling Nells today, the solution is simple – give Paul the job in LF. He's a better defender than JaMarcus Thibbons, and just as good a hitter, but with less power. He solves the #2 hitter also. Throw in that he's cheaper AND also still has an upside, and its a no brainer.
I don't know how you can look at Gibbons, Thames, Gwynn and Paul and think that Paul is your 4th best option. It defies logic and common sense, which is obviously something our GM seriously lacks. I swear he's still on the Gints payroll.
Hey Collie. I think it is a sad state of affairs when we are considering Blake to bat 2nd in the order. Geez!! Unfortunately, Ethier is the best candidate for the 2 hole. Hopefully they play Uribe at 3rd and rest Blake alot. Then we can let Jamey Carroll bat 2nd.
Yep Beav, Ned is a baffoon. Paul should be given a decent shot at LF. It is a no brainer. Let's hope Paul lights it up in Spring Training. Otherwise, we won't see much of him.
Totally agreed Beav. I think Paul is a good option and fills 2 voids. I would also give Gwynn a shot during ST. I think he is probably better than his numbers last year but I want Paul to get the 1st shot.
I just don't get Blake #2, Dre #3, and Matt #4.
Seeing as how Paul's out of options, my guess is if he burns up ST, Ned will trade him near the end for Dotel.
Well, Paul and Zach Lee. Afterall, it is Ned.
Stop giving him ideas Beav!
Hey there Wally. I hope all is well in your neck of the woods!
I also was telling Nells that if Frank was totally against spending money, we'd see the Pauls and the Sands and the Mitchells because they're the cheapest options available.
Not saying that Frank runs this club like a big market franchise by any means, but most all of this veteran BS is Ned. Take the 4-5-6 veterans Ned signs for $1-$2 mil apiece and that adds up quickly compared to $400-$500K apiece prospects. Don't think Frank would be in for a bigger score with lower payroll and farm products we'd probably get behind? Ned was born of Sabean and gathers all the crappy vets he can because that was what he learned. In the 5+ years Ned's been running the show he hasn't learned one damn thing on his own. Hence, he keeps making the same mistakes over and over and over again.
Nice article on Ethier and leadership in the LA Times this morning. What caught my eye was his assessment of Manny and the leadership he provided:
"I think that if you learn from anyone, you learn from Manny, the way he was," Ethier said. "He was so complimentary of other players, anything they did from fielding a ground ball to hitting a ball in the cage. He was so quick to compliment and make it about you than make it about him. That's the biggest thing about creating team unity, making guys comfortable around each other."
Bowa, Schaefer, Torre and Ned could learn a thing or ten from Manny. Three of those four guys being gone is reason enough for optimism. I think when the story of 2010 is written we'll find the players just flat out quit on that "terrorist" regime. Torre alluded to as much with his "a different voice" solution for 2011.
Hi Everybody
The Beginning of a new era. It sure feels different with Donnie at the Helm.
Great comments everyone!!!!!
I was looking at the photo gallery and loved seeing the name Yeager in with the group of catchers.
Great comments everyone!!!!!
I was looking at the photo gallery and loved seeing the name Yeager in with the group of catchers.
Totally agree about that Nelly.
I went to a Sacramento Rivercats 51's game a few years ago when Russ, Dre, Brox, and Bills were all there. I was sitting in the 1st row next to the dugout along the 1st baseline. These seats are really close to the base. There were a couple of guys sitting behind me and next to me and I think one of the guys was related to Davey Johnson. He looked just like him & during the whole game (It was a doubleheader) Yeager was coaching 1st and kept coming over talking to them. 2 guys got picked off 1st and if memory serves me correct the second one was Dre. Yeager went ballistic and was giving it to the ump for a minute or so. After he turned from the ump looked at us and with a devilish smile and said, "you gotta give the fans what they want.". He was really fun to interact with and seemed like a great guy.
Steve Yeager was my first personal encounter with a player, former or otherwise. My hubby and I were on a flight with him. We were on our way to Jamaica for our honeymoon. I was star struck and didn't say much, just like I do now – lol!!!
You did shy up that one day Nelly!
Just another silly question – given Padilla's problem of last year, why didn't somebody do an MRI on his elbow BEFORE he was gloriously signed by Ned as the answer to our pitching problems? I've always thought that Conte should have been discharged years ago for malpractice, and all of us know that Ned is clearly over his head, so I suppose that is the answer. I also don't really care how much money Frank and Ned throw away, because nothing good will happen with the Dodgers until they're both gone.
Maybe it's time to bring Jamie back on the management side. After all, we made it to the playoffs and won some games while she was in her position with the Dodgers – No?
So much for starter depth. Padilla to face the knife:
Hey Bear, I didn't read your post until after I posted that link. You make a great point! We've got a sub-.500 record since Jamie was canned!
Sell Jamie the team, you horrid P.O.S.!
Ned you've done it again. can you say Jason Schmidt. Anyone that doesn't learn from his mistakes is condemned to repeat them, or is just a fool!
Well Gang, with Ned & Conte, what did you expect!!! They're morons!!! We've got some bad times coming if Frank is not forced to sell!!
Heyya, jhall! Kinda makes you wonder if Conte's physicals consist of anything more difficult than rubbing their stomach and patting their head at the same time.
WAIT! I just found a sound bite of Conte's physical examination of Padilla:
Conte: "You ok?
Padilla: "Yep."
Conte: "Neddy, he's gold!"
I can't take it anymore. Ned's incompetentcy knows no bounds. Read Ned's quote in the L.A. Times. According to Ned things had "calmed down" with Padilla's nerve. Not healed. Not cured. Just "calmed down." What the hell did he expect would happen throwing at any velocity? Common sense would've dictated you work the guy out 2-3 times at speed to see how he does before offering a contract. Not Ned. That's $2 mil guaranteed that's totally wasted – AGAIN. How is it Frank doesn't fire this guy?
Conte doesn't know shat from shinola IMO and is more worthless than Ned.
And that's saying something.
Dodgereric ~ love the conversation!
Yep Dad and Beav, you nailed it!!!
Geez, check the spin on this curve ball!!!!
It is truely hard to believe that Conte and Colletti are still employed. I'm sure no other team in baseball will ever employ them as it is common knowledge that they are both incompetent. I just had to gag when I read the above article and how they cover for each other while Frank continues to choke his own chicken!!!! Good God, how blatent does the obvious farce have to get before the fans finally revolt and disarm Frank and his ship of sycophants. There is no other place in baseball where Conte and Colletti would still be employed!!! UN-FREAKING-ACCEPTABLE!!!!!!!!
Jhall is just a tad pisssed off!
A tad, Nellyjune…lol!
Judging from the comments on the various Times articles, I'd say Wally isn't the only one. 🙂
I have to admit that even for someone like me, the eternal optomist when it comes to the Dodgers, the future of this organization looks bleak as long as current ownership is in charge. Last season I said I did not want the ownership issue to be a distraction to me as a fan and even argued with some of you to not focus so much energy on it. I am sure had the team done well and made the playoffs last season the ownership situation might not have been as big a deal. But the team did not do well making it difficult not to think there is some connection. The real issue now is the lack of excitement over the coming season that I feel even though I do believe the change of field management and coaches should have a positive effect. I also do expect a lot of empty seats at Dodger Stadium unless the team gets off to a good start and even then we might still see a decline in attendence because a lot of fans are disgusted. But our fearless Frank says no one is concerned about the divorce. I guess he never reads any blogs or web site commenst or letters to the editor.
I love how the reactions to Padilla's situation were vastly diffirent between Mattingly and Coletti. Mattingly didn't mask his disapointment where Coletti tried to sugar coat it and cover his rear end ! It reminded me of when former Dodger GM Malone traded away Charles Johnson and gave broken down ,vetran, Todd Hundley,everyday catching duties. Maloan tried to sugar coat that one to the fans and media, too! Yes, indeed,Stan Conte and Ned Coletti are doing an excellent job for their team,THE GIANTS !

Bearbrick x Suicidal Tendencies
- Written by Pauly
Hooking up with legendary punk band Suicidal Tendencies, Medicom Toy presented their latest featured artist in the Bearbrick campaign in May 2009. Formed in Southern California in 1981 by Mike Muir, the band has endured over two very interesting decades in the music scene.
Paying tribute to their Venice/Los Angeles area roots, the figure combines a blue base with white contrasting bandana-like print throughout. Figure comes in Medicom Toy's 400% platform, still available at Bearbrick.com and through Medicom Toy.

Parking Lot Politics: North Carolina Lot Says No Parking for Obama Supporters
Lot owner says Obama supporters are not welcome to park in his lot.
-- A North Carolina parking lot owner says supporters of the Democratic presidential candidate are no longer welcome to park their cars.
WFMY reports Tim Henderson, who owns a parking lot in Gibsonville, N.C., "put up "no parking" signs targeting Barack Obama supporters."
The lot owner tells WFMY that his message is clear: He's posted two signs discouraging Obama supporters or those in cars with Obama stickers displayed on them from parking there.
"I don't know how many ways you can interpret it. If you're an Obama supporter, you've got an Obama sticker on your car, you're not welcome to park here," Henderson told the Greensboro CBS affiliate station.
Henderson, a backer of Republican candidate John McCain, contends he wouldn't actually tow parked Obama supporters out of his lot, he's just injecting humor into the presidential race with his parking lot politics.
It's caused something of a local stir -- but Henderson insists the signs will stay up through the November 4 general election and that those who are rubbed the wrong way can "stay offended or get over it".
Dave Dicke, who works at a state agency near the lot where employees have been parking for years, calls the Henderson's edict "ridiculous".
Dicke tells WFMY, "It's telling me because I have a sticker, or I support, I believe in something, I'm not allowed to park here, and this is where I park for work. I have to park here."

L. A Prisoners Infect Themselves With Coronavirus To Get Early Release (VIDEO)
A group of silly L.A area prison inmates were very eager to contract the dreaded coronavirus .
They attempted this because they believed that would trigger their ticket out of prison.
According to the L.A. County Sheriff Alex Villanueva who made the startling revelation Monday, said about twenty-four (24) inmates at the Pitchess Detention Center in Castaic attempted (and somewhat succeeded, apparently) to infect themselves way back in mid-April 2020.
The Sheriff revealed that their department saw an increase in spike in confirmed cases out of nowhere.
He said that when they investigated, they found a high number of inmates living in one block of the prison appeared to be deliberately trying to infect each other with COVID-19 any way they could from behind bars.
When Alex Villanueva played the surveillance footages he and his team combed through carefully , and it showed several inmates hanging out in a common area and passing around what Alex described as a hot cup of water, as well as one face mask they'd each put on all in hopes of getting sympathy from a judge to spring them from the facility and let them go home.
But it turns out, their little ploy worked but, only halfway.
Villanueva reported that 21 of the inmates (out of 50 in the block) caught the 'Coronavirus.
"What they won't catch is a break" said the Sheriff.

"Buhari is Made In London" – Reno Omokri Blasts Presidency On Nigerian Made Products
The Buhari administration has been known for enforcing the Nigerian people to patronize Nigerian made goods though without much strategy to make life easier while this transition to economic growth is enforced.
The Buhari administration has been known for enforcing the Nigerian people to patronize Nigerian made goods though without much strategy to make life easier while this transition to economic growth is enforced. Many Nigerians have tagged it a harsh move that is insensitive and inhumane but moreso, Reno Omokri has singled out signals of hypocrisy in the President of Nigeria by outlining certain traits of family moves of the President that shows that he(Buhari) as the No.1 citizen has no regards for anything made in Nigeria but yet wants other Nigerians to embrace Nigerian made goods.
Reno Omokri 's tweet reads:
His kids schooled in England. His wife just returned from a 3 month UK stay. His daughter gave birth to his grandchild in Spain (made in Spain), yet
, who is London, wants us to patronise made in Nigeria!

Tindersticks frontman Stuart Staples has a heady baritone that vibrates on a frequency not too far removed from an amplified guitar with superior sustain. On the band's early albums, Staples' voice was often the main attraction; while the other Tindersticks plucked idly, sawed softly, blew gently, and tapped lightly, Staples took center stage, moaning about people tortured by their own impulses. Then the band began to experiment with R&B, and Staples took on a different role, more akin to a human translator for the desires expressed by the slinky instrumentation. Now, on Falling Down A Mountain, Staples' vocals pulse like a telegraph signal, often joined by blaring horns, faintly Latin guitar, and peppy piano. Falling Down A Mountain is as suffused with melancholy as any Tindersticks recording, but these songs don't crouch quietly in a corner. The uptempo "Harmony Around My Table," "Black Smoke," and "No Place So Alone" stride forth confidently and even a little recklessly, while the winking cabaret numbers "Peanuts" and "She Rode Me Down" celebrate conventional romantic give-and-take. The album has a swagger that Tindersticks hasn't shown since 2001's Can Our Love…, finding common ground between the rockier Velvet Underground and the mellower Rolling Stones. Yet it all still hums at a pitch to match Staples' croon, transmitting a message that comes through truest and clearest in a darkened room.

I like to think I live the slow life. I like home cooked meals made from scratch. I try to garden organically. I admire painters, sculptors, weavers, and of course, crocheters and knitters. A month or two to knit a sweater is fast for me.
But... I am addicted to efficiency. For example:
Yesterday, I got up, did a quick Zumba workout in the basement, made some oatmeal bannock and ate it with yogurt and applesauce. While I was chewing that, I was preparing some yeast to make pita. When that was ready, I mixed up the pita dough, threw it in the bowl to rise, then took Rascal out for a 35-minute walk. Came home, packed my swim bag, then punched down the dough, portioned it out, rolled it out, left it to rest for 20 minutes while I washed the dishes. I put half of it in the oven, set the timer for 4 minutes, went into the bathroom and sprayed cleaner onto the tiles, tub and sink, and ran upstairs and did the same to the bathroom up there. The timer beeped, I came down, flipped out the cooked pita, tossed in the next batch, set the timer, then ran back into both bathrooms and wiped them both down. Beep beep, pita out, oven off, shoes and coat on, off to the pool, swam for 30 minutes, walked home, made lunch, washed those dishes, and then I sat down to knit. In the meantime, I'd also squeezed in about 20 minutes of plank pose for a plank challenge I'm doing this month.
And it wasn't even 1:00pm. What the frack was that about?
I don't know when I decided I'd try to be Miss Efficient, but I'll admit: I get a high when I know I've knocked a bunch of stuff off my list for the day. But I think it might be hurting me a lot more than I think. I want to take care of my mind, because, as Andy Puddicombe says in his video below:
This is the same mind we depend on to be focused, creative, spontaneous, and to perform at the very best in everything that we do. And yet, we don't take any time out to look after it. In fact, we spend more time looking after our cars, our clothes, and our hair...I think I'm going to try giving myself 10 minutes a day to just be mindful of what I'm doing... and I doubt I'll just be sitting there whilst I do so. But during those minutes, I'm going to try to use all my senses and practice using the phrase "right now."
Right now, I'm listening to Rascal's teeth as he gnaws through his rawhide bone.
Right now, I'm feeling the heat pad on my sore lower back loosen my muscles in preparation for my Zumba class.
Right now, my feet are warm and cozy in my slippers.
Right now, I'm breathing in and out, slowing down.
Right now, I'm typing to you, hoping that I'm reaching someone who needs this post today. I know I needed it, and I didn't even know I did...

With so many kids classes I have this year, I was thinking about the "fun" Halloween craft lessons I'd have to do.
If you remember last year I bought my Spiderman outfit and put it to good use, so in a way I was kind of excited to get into my "Spidey" persona once again.
Most of the younger kids, (and their parents) really appreciated the effort that I got dressed up. Even mothers of kids I didn't teach asked me to pose for their children! The older ones were a little bit blasé about it. I swear I heard "baka" a few times.
With the activities I got real tired blowing and tying a whole lot of balloons. There was a Jack O' Lantern lesson with real pumpkins that because they didn't want the liability of kid's cutting themselves with knives, they first expected me to do it with a spoon, but later relented and gave only me a knife to cut 4 pumpkins up.
Finally I was really looking forward to the Halloween party, but because of a lame ass typhoon, it got cancelled. Instead I went to a bar. There was a free shot for people in costume. Because there were already two others in Spiderman costumes, I just settled comfortably into my Long Islands.
On Halloween day I went into Akihabara to look for an iPhone 4, and buy some accessories. I found one in good condition for 57,800 yen, but as much as I tried, the salespeople wouldn't bring it down a smidgeon to make me plonk down the cash.
I bought the accessories though, a 980 yen MicroSIM cutter, and a 380 yen bumper case. All I need is the phone now!
Being in geek central, I expected more people dressed up, but it was very low-key. I guess with last year having Halloween on a Saturday makes a huge difference.
As such, contrary to last year, I didn't wear my Spiderman costume like I did last year on the trains. The Japanese and law enforcement would just not understand.
Happyish Halloween!

Last Day In Hong Kong
Our plane would be leaving not long after lunch, so we checked out fairly early to have a nice breakfast at the Honolulu coffee shop at 33 Stanley St in Central. I had the satay beef and macaroni, coffee, and an egg tart.
Hong Kong feels like a place made to shop, the best sightseeing is the just wandering around the place, the harbour and Victoria Peak the obvious highlights. Although my phone search proved fruitless, I really enjoyed my time in Hong Kong, and I can see myself coming here again. I'd probably stay in Causeway Bay on HK island next time. It's cleaner, and far away from those street hustlers. Can't beat the price on Kowloon though.
My last chance was at Hong Kong airport for the iPhone. Unfortunately even there they were sold out. Every time I see someone with a new phone, I want to shove it to the ground. I might have to succumb to the "dark side" again.

This Is Shitty
In Mong Kok there is a centralised building with little shops selling all kinds of mobile phones.
I was hoping here I'd be getting a reasonable price for my hopeful purchase. Strangely enough they already have it in white. It's fairly obvious that it's not the real deal, but a good chance to see it in that colour before it's official. (I prefer black) The prices here weren't all that great, so the search continues.
For the first time today, we're finally getting a taste of the local Yum-Cha food at the London Restaurant in Mong Kok.
It's quite a big place. It was packed with locals, and by the looks of things we were the only tourists there. Ironically with a name like that no one spoke any English which made ordering quite difficult. Lots of delicious food though.
After here we went back to Tsim Sha Sui, to The Peninsula hotel for afternoon tea.
For two people it costs about $HK440, including a service charge. It is VERY sweet and filling. The Peninsula is a luxury hotel, so it's a good way to spoil yourself while you're here.
From here we walked along the Avenue of Stars along the waterfront. It's kind of a "Hollywood Walk of Fame" with famous HK stars handprints in the ground. I didn't know most of the names other than Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee.
Finally we took the MTR to Kwun Tong. Here you'll find another mega mall, APM. Just so you know. No luck here either :(
Guess what I was thinking?
Once more in defeat, we went back to the hostel area, just in time before happy hour finished, I went to get my pint of Guinness, this time a little cheaper. It's been a long day. I needed this bad.

An Apple A Day
One strong reason for coming here was to seek out an iPhone 4. Damn, even the name of the hostel was a dead giveaway!
From what I read, it looks like Hong Kong is the cheapest place to get the phone outright and unlocked. I could get it through Softbank, but it will cost about the same, they'll lock me in for another two years, and lock the phone itself forever. Sure I could go through all the unlocking, jailbreaking, finger-snapping to have it my way, but I've had enough!
I had a chance already to get one, but at the time I made a wrong, wrong decision, and I'm still wandering the streets muttering, "the one that got away".
We started off in the morning at Maccas for a sausage McMuffin breakfast. I know, I know, I'm in another country. I should be sampling the local food, but there is a lot of reassuring comfort in ordering what I know, quickly and easily, and getting it.
After breakfast we thought it would be interesting to catch the Star Ferry across to Causeway Bay. It's reasonably nice to cross the harbour instead of going by subway, but it was all over all too quickly.
I intended to continue my "search". The stores weren't open until 10 am, most even later at 11 am. I saw a Tom Lee Music store which looks to be the major music instrument chain in Hong Kong. It wasn't open yet, so we kept a move on, passing a live fish market, and looking around Times Square.
Times Square, Causeway Bay.
This place is absolutely great if you're a shopaholic. Hong Kong does a LOT of malls. Great to blow your money. The customer service though is sadly lacking. One thing I noticed is that staff are often rude. I got told HK$6,000-6,400 with straight faces for iPhone 4's that were in stock. No surprise they were available. Probably because of these ***holes, it's so hard to get one from the legitimate sources. How about a smile, f******? It's easy to take for granted the best shopping "experiences" in Tokyo.
The Landmark, Central.
Not ALL bad though. We had a great sampling demonstration of Fook Ming Tong tea at Exquisivites in Central, which to me is kind of like Ginza, It feels very upmarket, and swanky 'round here.
From there we went up the "endless" hill-side escalator through SoHo. Lots of cool and funky cafes here. We came across a nice Italian deli, ilBelPaese, and shared a big, and very delicious grilled Focaccia sandwich (HK$56). Yum!
Next we rolled back down the hill and went to Admiralty. I wanted to take a picture of what I think is Hong Kong's most recognisable skyscraper, the Bank of China Tower. Some say it looks like a praying mantis. It definitely stands out among the other less "out there" buildings.
As it was getting late we caught the subway to Central again, to catch the tram to Victoria Peak. Coming out of the station, I face-palmed myself when I got just a good a view of the Bank of China building from this side. The HSBC building looks interesting around here too.
Victoria Peak is definitely a must-see place to come to here. We stayed from afternoon to dark where I did panorama photos of the day and night transition. Simply wonderful.
By Day.
At Night.
We started walking to the International Finance Centre near the harbour side, but u-turned shortly after as it was getting late, and I was hungry!
We saw the previous night that Delaney's, near our hostel has a two for one pizza night (HK$105-110). We missed happy hour by twenty minutes but a Guiness pint wasn't too expensive at HK$63. It's been ages since I had one, and it went down nicely.
The travel adapter I bought in Japan was the wrong one, which caused quite a bit of stress. We bought what I thought would work in the Japan Home Center today. Arriving back to my power-starved accessories, I first plugged in my expendable Nano to watch it go to charge mode happily.
Stupidly I then plugged in my laptop adapter to have the fuse blow immediately. You could hear my silent "NOOOooo!" scream on the inside, by the instant look of disappointment in my face. I was considering options such as unscrewing the fuse out of the useless adapter I had with a paper clip. Hey, I was getting desperate!
Finally, a light bulb lit up, and I tried my luck with asking reception if they had an adapter. They did! A savior of the Chungking Mansions. I am humbled.

Jimmy In Hong Kong
I needed to get out of Japan. Tickets to Australia have been quite pricey, so going home for a while has been out of the question. Even Christmas looks like not happening. It's going to cost me around AU$2000 round trip. Ouch.
I looked at a few airfares to Shanghai or Hong Kong, and the latter wasn't too bad. We checked with the local Japanese travel agent, HIS, and they were a rip-off. I just made reservations myself online. The Monday is a holiday, so taking two days off I had five days to do what I wanted. For the best price and time I wanted, I booked from Monday the 11th, to the 14th.
It took about five hours with a stopover in Taipei. From the plane window I could see the whole of Tokyo, Yokohama and even Mt Fuji!
Tokyo and Kawasaki.
Mt Fuji. There isn't any snow yet, so not as beautiful.
I'm quite lazy at making itineraries so booking a place to stay was done just about the day before. Probably the most (in)famous lodgings in Hong Kong is the Chungking Mansions.
It's located in Tsui Tsa Tsui on the Kowloon side. From the outside it looks like a slum, but to be fair, a lot of the nearby alternatives look pretty much the same. There are a LOT of hostels in the building, and the lifts are SLOW.
This is the place to come if you want to be immediately turned off about Hong Kong. As soon as you get close the hounds come out and attack you with, "Need a room?", "Wanna buy a rolex/hash"? I had second thoughts about coming here at that moment. Definitely a lot of "interesting" types for tenants too. Being a female by herself here, would be terrifying. I was!
We went up to the hostel, and it seemed like ages to check into our room. The room itself is actually pretty good. It looked newly renovated, and wasn't too bad space-wise. The only little detail is that the shower and toilet are the same space, so splashing water all over the place is unavoidable.
We had woken up at 4:30 am to be at Narita for our 9:40 flight, so that and the effort getting here, I was quite drained by early evening. We went to the waterside and it was then, that I changed my mind about Hong Kong. The view of the harbour at first sight is fantastic. Million dollar view. We watched the "Symphony of Light", the Hong Kong Island skyscrapers doing a cool light show.
The meal on China Airlines was so-so, but quite filling, so I didn't feel so hungry till much later. For dinner we had a HK$40 chicken Istanbul kebab in a parallel street from the hostel. I hadn't had one for SO long, back in the post-night out drunk days.
Hit the spot right there.

Bi King
For a quick and dirty translation of the current promotion by Burger King, this is basically all-you-can-eat Whoppers for 30 minutes!
I'm always up for a challenge. I wish I chose a better time to try it out though. I was in Shibuya for my usual Long Island Iced Tea Jumbos. I only had some peanut snacks, rather than the chicken and chips I usually get, so at the time I thought it was as good a time as any to put this, and my stomach, to the test.
To get it, you have to buy a set, a medium or a large. In my inebriation I heard "large", so my illogical thinking said of course large! So I had a large orange juice and onion rings to scoff through as well. 830 yen please.
Thirty minutes goes so quickly when you're trying to beat the clock. After getting through the first two, my stomach couldn't take any more so I just put the next two I got in my bag for a quick breakfast the next day.
While eating I had a nauseating flashback from the time I had the Windows 7 burger, so I'm glad I stopped when I did. The promotion is on till the 15th.

It's Automun!
While on the subject of food..
It seems like ages since I'd done yakiniku (ok, that is a lie, I went there after I went to Zushi). Gyu Kaku is a great place that's worth it to get an all-you-can-eat fill. Unfortunately tonight we didn't do it, so the bill was 7,000 yen which seemed a little steeper than usual.
I happened to be in Shinjuku today, so I brought along her laptop, and my SLR.
I fixed the old laptop, but I wanted to see if her better, and newer laptop had a real problem, or just needed a new AC adapter. I went to the Sofmap section of the Odakyu Bic Camera where they had a secondhand one to try the power.
At first the sales guy hesitated, but he connected it up, and it worked. So there's one longer than necessary, previously unresolved problem fixed. I was hoping I could get an adapter than would do double duty on my midi guitar, but this Toshiba needs 15V, and the multi adapters here were only up to 12V.
In a fix-it mood, I also bought a bathroom towel suction cup from a 100 yen shop to attempt to improve the home button on my iPhone using this Youtube video. The home button pins are incredibly tiny, so I didn't lift them much at all. I'm possibly getting a new iPhone soon, so I think I'll leave it for now to give this a second try. I got a belt in a temporary shop too. 600 yen, nice.
My bag was heavy from bringing my camera, so I felt I should take a few shots. You might recognise this from a background of my blog.
I can't resist a few "typical graphical" errors that I see everyday. "automun" (Autumn) collection, and Look AT (through) here!!
I don't know if she's meant to look fallen over, but it's funny all the same.

On The Dole
Sunday in Japan is 30% off icecream day at a few supermarkets here in Tokyo. It's usually my opportunity to stock up on the Haagen Dazs, and "ice candy".
It brings the cups down to about 198 yen. Haagen Dazs have brought out a few interesting deviations in flavours. I often get the Cookies & Green Tea, but I've also sampled the Salty Butter Biscuit, which tastes like slightly salted vanilla icecream, with shortbread biscuit, and Cream Cheese Raspberry, which really has a cheesecake taste! I've yet to try the pumpkin flavour but I'll be onto that shortly.
At the top of my list for best icecream in the world, you can't beat a gelato. One of the many things Italians got right. Just like back home, Italian gelato commands a premium price.
I found an excellent substitute right here in Tokyo that won't break the bank. Quite by accident I found this 6 cup pack of fruit icecream sorbets. The apple just tastes like, well, apples, so it's not the best of the bunch, but the peach and mango taste great. All for less than 400 yen. Nice.
The name "Dole" is quite funny because in British English, the dole refers to government payments to the unemployed. Maybe it quite apt then for Italian-style icecream on the cheap.
It's also cheap eggs day before midday, so I have to drag myself off futon with often bad hangovers to make the trip. Also worth noting is that a lot of supermarkets have a 100 yen day on Mondays. Things we do to eat around here.

Griffin scores 30, Clippers beat Jazz 105-104
Blake Griffin scored 30 points, Jamal Crawford added 20 off the bench and the Los Angeles Clippers defeated Utah 105-104 on Monday night to hand the Jazz their first loss at home this season.
Crawford made a pair of free throws late and ex-Clipper Randy Foye countered with a 3-pointer with 1.2 seconds remaining. But Foye's desperation 3 after stealing the ensuing inbounds pass missed its mark.
Mo Williams led the Jazz (9-10) against his former team with 20 points and 12 assists. Foye added 19 points and Al Jefferson had 16 points and 10 rebounds but had a layup blocked by DeAndre Jordan with 26 seconds left that would have tied the score at 101.
It was the third straight victory for the Clippers (11-6).
Chris Paul added 14 points for Los Angeles, with six in the fourth after the Clippers entered the quarter trailing by 10.
The loss was the first at home for Utah since a 107-105 setback against Phoenix on April 4.
Williams was playing for the Clippers then, behind Paul and Chauncey Billups and alongside Foye.
Both players did their best to make sure Los Angeles remembered who they were - especially with the Jazz short-handed Monday because Marvin Williams was out with concussion-like symptoms and Derrick Favors missed his second straight with plantar fasciitis.
Mo Williams gave quick bear hugs to his former teammates before the game, and even extended a hand to help Paul up when he had the ball stolen away in the second quarter.
Otherwise he was all business after being acquired in an offseason trade.
He and Foye just didn't have enough in the end.
Williams hit his first two shots, both 3-pointers, and had six assists in the first 12 minutes, closing out the quarter with a pinpoint pass down the middle of the lane to Foye. Foye made the easy layup for a 31-19 Utah lead.
Los Angeles turned the table in the fourth, outscoring the Jazz 32-21 to pull out the victory.
The Jazz had a 21-10 edge on rebounding in the first half and 36-20 advantage on points in the paint, But the Clippers won the battle inside in the second half.
The Clippers trailed by 14 points with 2 minutes left in the third, and by 10 entering the fourth. But they scored the first six to pull within 83-79 on Crawford's 4-footer with 9:40 remaining.
Lamar Odom's three-point play with 9:11 left made it a one-possession game, 85-82, and the Clippers pulled to 88-87 on Crawford's 3-pointer with 6:46 left.
Williams' reverse layup bumped it back to three but Paul countered with a driving layup.
Griffin dunked on an alley-oop pass from Paul to give the Clippers their first lead since the opening possession. Jefferson countered with a slam at the other end and Williams had his finest pass of the night, a behind-the-back gem to Jefferson that the Jazz big man slammed for a 94-91 Utah advantage with 3:56 remaining.
But Crawford's 3-pointer as the shot clock sounded tied the score at 94.
Paul's driving layup gave the Clippers a 97-96 lead but Williams hit a desperation 3-pointer with the shot clock winding down for a 99-97 Jazz lead only to foul Billups on a wayward 3-point attempt. Billups sank 2 of 3, leaving the game tied at 99 with 1:14 left.
Paul's driving layup with 39 seconds left put the Clippers up 101-99 then Jordan made the key block and Matt Barnes sank a pair of free throws to provide just enough cushion.
NOTES: The Jazz honored former University of Utah basketball coach Rick Majerus with a moment of silence before the game. Majerus died Saturday in Los Angeles while awaiting a heart transplant. He was 64. ... Former Jazz shot-blocking great Mark Eaton sat next to former coach Jerry Sloan in the stands. ... The Jazz made 10 of the first 15 shots and were shooting 66 percent at halftime ... The Jazz went on a 14-1 run in the first quarter to take their initial big lead.
