Sens was NOT great. The food was oily enough to coat your whole intestinal bowel.<BR/><BR/>3. Oriental in Sandy Bay is NOT good enough to be on the list of competing asian restaurants. Used to..but not anymore. <BR/><BR/>4. Ming Court is the only reasonable place I will consider for good asian food, but I have to admit..not truely authentic.<BR/><BR/>5. I tried Mee Wah up in Launnie..which was AUTHENTIC...so I am patiently waiting for them to get down here..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8948346.post-3733479295771914712007-05-07T21:11:00.000+10:002007-05-07T21:11:00.000+10:00Mind you some of the bottles these days are tricky...Mind you some of the bottles these days are tricky for waiter's friends.<BR/>Many thin-topped odd-shaped affairs leave little room for purchase.<BR/>My favourite old T-bone corkscrew lasted 20 years before it went.<BR/>Its waiter's friend replacement lasted a month before twisting out of shape.<BR/>Its, more expensive, waiter's friend replacement has lasted a few years now.<BR/><BR/>The trick is not to put the corkscrew in the middle.
