Hi Skyhook (sorry people just hijacking this to reply )
Yes, that's where I thought it might be....very lovely around there. We used to tell the taxi's 'Ma Nam Wat' and they seemed to use that for the HK Marina - there was hardly anything down there in those days, the clubhouse, the marina, the little cubby hole just past it owned by RHKYC and yes, those houses just behind the Marina (a friend lived there).
Looks like the Marina restaurant has changed dramatically, it was a little sleepy hole with a small bar and some very basic tables, where the kitchen staff would sit and chat after they'd cooked your meal. Some of the best beef with black bean fried noodles ever
Kate - that place looks outstanding and the travelling should be a lot better than it was, with the newer road system. If you're not averse to spending a little time travelling, and have a car, it would be like going home to a little sanctuary every day.
