Restaurant Review!

Felix l Tsim Sha Tsui l Kowloon

Ah yes. This is the place that’s known as one of the great bars of the world. Perched atop the swanky Peninsula Hotel is this Philippe Stark designed lookout point with its interior of contrasts and its hip crowds. The elevator ride up is an experience all its own with the lights dimming to match the interior of the bar as you exit. And the urinals. Don’t get me started on the urinals! They face outwards behind a huge glass wall that overlooks the city. It is hands down the best view I have ever had while relieving myself!

Sounding a tad cheese ball yet? Of course it’s tacky. The whole place is tacky. The drinks were decent though pricey but the service was dressed in these unfortunate MC Hammer pants with gold belts. The crowd was nothing more than a mix of drunken salacious Eurotrash tourists and wide eyed locals up for a special occasion at a “fancy” western bar. The desserts had that badly planned execution that made me think of “death by chocolate.” That same sort of faux 90’s fanciness that in the end is always meaningless. The dark and light interior was well past its prime, looking like a second hand Las Vegas stuck in the 90’s.
