Dropped into Tongli last night at 9 PM, after the weekly tasting at nearby Sequoia Cafe (two white and two red wines from South Africa this time around). Taniwha, Cheers and China Doll, all with entrances on the second floor, were closed, but Bar Blu, Kokomo, and Le Petit Gourmand (a book lending library / restaurant / cafe below Bar Blu) were open.

I thought about having a drink at Bar Blu, but it didn’t seem very friendly, so I headed to Kokomo for a Long Island. Since I don’t like to drink alone (yep, I was the only customer) I finished and headed to Phil’s Pub… but felt a slight discomfort all night. My finely-tuned Friday night wine tasting / drink at Cheers with Eddie O / onhard ho machinery was out of whack, and I was home reading “Wine for Dummies” by 11 PM… only Buddha knows how long I can endure this…
