We just returned from SEA with a stopover in Hong Kong. We were there a year ago and this trip reinforced my opinion that it is one of the world's most interesting and exciting cities. We again visited Gaddi

What is a Gaddi?

sorry dogster . I inadvertently pressed the post button. If you read the second post with the same title it will be explained..

Ahhh - so it's not a reference to the Gaddi People of Dharamsala : The nomadic Hindu tribe that has dwelled in the shadows of the Himalayas in Northern India for countless generations.

Nor to Taddeo Gaddi, the Italian Early Renaissance Painter, ca.1300-1366.

Nor Ambassador Gaddi H. Vasquez, the 8th United States Representative to the United Nations Organizations in Rome..

Gaddo Gaddi perhaps? [as we all know, an intimate friend of Cimabue, and afterwards of Giotto]

It's a restaurant! I show my ignorance by knowing nothing about it - well, I do now. So, thanks vfjw.

it is what many consider to be the "main dining room" of the peninsula hotel in HK....very old fashioned but an icon....hope they keep it for ever...these places have fast disappeared...

i had my 50th birthday party there in fact

and you didn't invite us?

that was so long ago, that we did not even have the pleasure of knowing you then....but i would have!!!

Thank goodness you escaped before the Japanese occupation.
