    Post What to do for Christmas?

    I'm here with no family and am wondering what to do on Christmas day. I am wondering if there are others like me and if so, maybe we can arrange a Christmas dinner somewhere.

    last xmas day the wife and I went to the red lion in Wanchai for a traditional (English) xmas lunch - turkey and all the trimmings, washed down with several John Smiths and White Wine....Then flew off to Thailand the same night for a weeks relaxation. Pretty good way to spend xmas all in all.

    I can only find:
    Red Lion Pub
    G/F 9 Lock Road Tsimshatsui
    Tel 2317 6290

    New Red Lion Inn
    15 Ashley Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong
    Tel: +852 2317 6289

    The Red Lion in TST is a very tacky, old bar though infamous for the more mature...er...you know.

    Hebe 101 does a top notch, 5 course, traditional Christmas dinner, if you want to organise a group of people, set around excellent marina views, making it a bit of a big day out, away from the city high rises. See how the other half live, out in the NT .


    Directions by public transport:

    Take the MTR to Kowloon Tong, then get the 1A green top, Sai Kung mini bus, and get off at Hebe Haven, about 15 ~ 20 minutes bus ride.

    I'd suggest also, that it might be a good idea, once a Christmas dinner venue is chosen, that you reserve/book well in advance, like right now, unless you want to be left, like a shag on a rock, on the 25th.

    I was lucky enough to get the last non-2 person table at the Intercontinental's buffet in TST.

    Sorry, moment of madness... I mean the 'White Stag' in Wanchai.

    I used to drink in the Red Lion in Durham (UK) about 15 years ago!!
