Went for dinner at La cave last weekend. La Cave is a French restaurant that we have occasionally gone to although not for the last couple years. To me it’s not so much a French restaurant as it is a Frenchese restaurant. Expensive but you can get some better meat than most places. You can have your salad thing.
After that you can have your main course.
You can tell it is a French style place. Big plate with a little piece of Kobe Beef and a few beans and a tater tot. While the meat was good I just don’t get the whole make it look like there is nothing there deal. Although there pretty much was nothing there. Luckily there was desert.
Of course it also had to have the artsy fartsy thing going on. When you looked to my right and looked out the window this is what you saw.
The bridge in the distance is the Zhuhai Macau end of the Hong Kong Macau Zhuhai bridge, a 50 km (31 mile) bridge and tunnel from Hong Kong to Macau/Zhuhai. As I’m posting this today we are waiting for a big typhoon to hit right here tonight. That would not be a good time to be on the big bridge. The tall area with the cranes is one of the areas raised up to allow ships through and in technical terms is pretty tall.
As you can see the whole idea of this bridge (and the eastern section that is a 7 mile tunnel from 2 man made islands to allow for the shipping lane for the really big ships) is just short of nuts. I think what it will end up doing is creating a new truck route for containers from the northern Pearl River area to Hong Kong that wont have to go through Shenzhen. Add to the nuttiness of it some where half way across lanes shift as Hong Kong is RH drive (like England) and China is LH drive like everyone else in the world.
Anyway it was a fine meal.
