Where?
Nana's is kind of opposite Coyote Bar, next to the Immigration tower walkway and opposite exit C (I think) of Wanchai MTR.
First Impressions
I'm not sure where the name comes from but I do know that Nana is one of the areas in Bangkok - maybe? The signage is a little cheesy - I'm not sure where the monkey came from and it probably needs to go for the restaurant to be taken seriously.
There are two things that you notice straight off - first of alll there's the massive and incredibly impressive Scotch Whiskey collection down the side of one wall - There are hundreds and hundreds of bottles. I'm not a whiskey drinker but they do make an incredible impression. I looked at some of the prices and they seem to range form $80 a shot to $1,300 - Now, I might be wrong here but not sure who would spend $1000+ on whisky!
The second thing is the collection of black and white pictures of old Thailand - I rather enjoyed having a look at them - Maybe room for a few more?
As well as the two main points of interest, it seems that the bar is run/owned/visited by some HK horserace owners as there are a few nice pictures of horses on the wall.
The restaurant is decked out in a khakiish green which sounds strange but works quite well.
Staff were fin, showed me to a table at the front which allowed for plenty of street watching.
Menu
The menu seemed well-appointed with a few things I haven't seen in other Thai places before.
I went for:
*Deep Fried Spring Rolls - Por Pia Tord
*Pork neck - Kor Moo Yang
*A pork (or beef - not sure) fried rice dish - Pad Kaprao Moo (?)
It took about 5 minutes for the spring rolls to arrive with a sweet and spicy sauce. They were definitely bigger than other restaurants portions.
The Pork neck came next and was very very good - especially the spicy sauce it comes with. I asked the lady what was in the sauce and she gave me a long list of ingredients none of which I can remember now!
The fried rice dish came a couple of minutes later and was excellent although I couldn't finish it - my eyes are definitely bigger than my belly.
Beer
I am not a whiskey drinker so couldn't sample any of their selection but special mention must be given to the beer selection here. It seems that all of the beers that they have are from Asia - from memory they have - Chang & Singha (of course), Beer Lao, Beer Lao Dark, Philipinne San Miguel, Tiger and a few others.
I went for the Beer Lao Dark - it's a very dark brown beer that I've tried before on my travels - it packs a punch and is well worth a try - this is the first time I've seen it in HK.
Staff
The staff were very nice - all spoke English - I believe they were all Thai - I also saw them speaking to Chinese customers in Chinese too.
I'll certainly go back to Nana's - of course it's close to my home - but thought it was good value for money, well-appointed, food was nice and girls were lovely
