I'm planning a gentle hike over Junk Peak (from north to south) and then want to finish somewhere I can get beer and food. It seems that the only option (apart from the Golf Club which I wouldn't be allowed near) is Po Toi O. Can anyone confirm if there are suitable places to eat and drink there that are open on a midweek mid-afternoon?
I would also prefer if there were places which had straightforward menus with prices on since I really don't care for all the palaver of selecting seafood from tanks, haggling about prices, worrying about being ripped off and so on. Even when doing this with locals they often feel a bit cheated, so a couple of gweilos have no chance.
If that isn't possible then is there anywhere to have beers and some food at Clearwater Bay Beach?
Having done late lunch we would then need to get back to HK Island. I see from the Transport Department website that there should be a ferry on Thursdays which leaves Tung Lung Chau at 5:30pm and goes via Tai Miu Wan (Joss House Bay) Pier (at about 5:45 I assume) to Sai Wan Ho. Can anyone who has done this recently confirm that this is real and reliable?
