I’ll read it all later but I must say artichoke soup sounds yummy!

I would hope so. The check:

Mandarin Grill, Hong Kong
6 oysters
1 x artichoke soup
1 x organic salad
2 x Dover sole
1 x Australian ribeye steak
2 x hazelnut creme brulee asparagus, mashed potato
1 x apple crumble
1 x dry Martini
1 x Bloody Mary
2 x glasses of Sauvignon Blanc
1 x Tsingtao beer
1 x cognac
1 x calvados
mineral water
coffee
Total: HK$4,273.50 (£277.93) [US$ 548.55]

I'll settle for Trader Joe's.

I miss TJs (the closest one to me is 35 miles away). Used to save alot on my groceries when I lived in Seattle and northern NJ when I shopped there.

My former boss ate at the Mandarin Grill and claimed that it was overrated. I will take his word on that, and keep in mind that, even in Hong Kong, its the booze that really sends your check through the roof.
