After a whole half day busy schedules, time to have yoga glass to stretch a bit before going back to work. Thinking to try the lunch here but after reviewing the negative comments from other members, feel a bit hesitate to take the risk. Instead, choosing a non-peak hours to enjoy a glass of wine and snack.At around 4:30pm, there were only 2 Westerners enjoying their early happy hour, another sitting outside, I was the 4th.

At around 4:30pm, there were only 2 Westerners enjoying their early happy hour, another sitting outside, I was the 4th. There are indoors seating area but rather dim, sitting by the entrance seems the best as I can enjoy the sunshine, while cooling with the air-cond.
Happy Hours starts from 4pm, 50% off for selected beers and house wines. Haven't said that, actual 50% of marked up price (5-star hotel price)is nothing really attractive.
They have a mini snack menu, serving sandwiches, burgers, crab cakes and seafood platter, oysters. Charging on average over $40 each oyster of something ordinary made me feel hesitate.
I ordered a glass of white wine the crab cakes...looks quite presentable, first bite...feeling "meow meow", kind of cat food feeling. True, I strongly feel that, no kidding. However, it doesn't mean it tastes terrible, just not worth the price.
Overall experience was not bad, nicely furnished place, quiet, located inside Taikoo Place, can say it's a good choice for a drink during non-peak hours if you work or work out nearby like myself.
Either improving the food quality or lowing the price to make it justified. Also, please play some music, no need to be loud but it's rather boring to drink wine/beer without rhythm.
