    There are many times, which I'm sure you have experienced, when I am walking with my friends and/or family and we can't decide which restaurant to enter for dinner. No one is in the mood for a particular cuisine so we just shrug our shoulders and hope some one else will decide for us. "Zaks?" is the inevitable question. We shrug again and wander to the restaurant. No one complains because we've been there fifty times and each time we've had nothing to complain about. It has grown to be our safe option - we all have one, or more than one for different neighborhoods. In Discovery Bay mine is Zaks. It's got a decent menu, Fajitas for the adventurous, burgers for the boring, and salads for the girlfriends... just kidding but seriously, order something else and I won't joke about it. The food is good, nothing to write home to the parents about. Good. There hasn't been a time where I have left unhappy - which is a huge positive. The service is friendly and an option of alfresco by the sea, or indoors on the second floor the venue is hard to beat in Hong Kong. A little hint for all you first-daters; fireworks from Disney land start at 8pm each night, 9pm on a Sunday, a great way to impress a fine female after her salad (Just kidding! But seriously...) There is one item on the menu, however, that I dream about on occasion. Their Toblerone baked in a pastry with a dollop of vanilla ice-cream on the side. There is nothing better than a contrasting dessert - hot against cold, soft against crunchy - and this one has it all. The warm chocolate Toblerone helps melt the vanilla ice-cream then mixes perfectly to create series of 'mmm's. The pastry adds the contrast in texture, much like a brownie might (don't get me started on brownies!). In fact we were just there the other night, ate dinner in one restaurant then ran to Zaks for the Toblerone! Divine.

    Mcsorley's is a bar/restaurant that I visit not nearly as much as I'd like to. English pub food…read moremixed in with some delicious Indian recipes and I'm sold! Add some big projectors showing the latest sports and there's little more I can ask for. I think the reason why I don't eat here often enough is because most of my family and friends prefer one of the other cuisines around DDeck, I can't blame them. However, whenever my vote counts for anything it's usually to here. When I don't know what to order I go for their burger and mozzarella sticks, in fact no matter what I go for something and their mozzarella sticks. The burgers are good, big filling and with a generous side of chips, the sticks fantastic. Generally, though, I'll order something from the Indian section, a madras chicken curry and some garlic naan. I'll try to convince some one else to order a plate of chicken tandoori so I can take a bit of that as well. Sometimes I wish I had a bigger stomach so that I could have the tandoori and the curry... and the naan. The food is full of flavor, the portions big, and the service relatively quick.I can tell you how good it is but I think the best way is to go for yourself and try it. It gets busy on the weekends because there's always one sport or another showing; football, rugby, motor sports, and the crowd can get a little rowdy, but don't let the outdoor hooligans intimidate you because inside it's normally much more tranquil. On a non-sports night its a great place to sit outside and enjoy a peaceful, quiet, group dinner. Remember... get the mozzarella sticks.

I'm normally an advocate for our local businesses, but I can't be so generous with this venue. We grabbed a big table on a lovely afternoon. Great view across the bay towards islands and the City. Plenty of day trippers wandering past to keep us entertained. Lots of room at the tables outside on the pavement. So far so good. We ordered an assortment of dishes: pizza, fried squid, wings, fish and chips, nachos, olives... olives and wings were good. Everything else was lacklustre: flat pizza, over cooked fish batter, and nachos comprised of the chip crumbs from the bottom of the bag. Disappointing all round. Hence my advice to come here only for a drink. Milkshakes were good. Unimpressed with the wait staff taking a smoke break at the end of the outdoor tables. Three steps and they would have been around the corner, discreetly out of view.

Yeah sure, if you've missed the ferry, and need somewhere to kill an hour or two, then by all means you should drop by. It is really convenient, there's plenty to eat and drink, and the service is brisk (I suppose they get that they literally have a lot of passing trade, or should that be waiting, trade). The drinks are as you would expect in a pub anywhere in HK. Beers on tap, plenty of decent enough wine, soft drinks if you've had a bit too much sun. However, I am a big fan of the food, and do come here just for that. It is regular Western pub fare; pizza, pies and mash, burgers, ribs, but it's nicely cooked and a good size portion. If you do miss your ferry and decide to stop for food, then I'd leave a couple for hours for ingestion and digestion. To be fair, I do think they also have a good and loyal following, both local and from "the main island". At the weekends, it is often packed all day, which to me indicates not just ferry trade. They have a big terrace (or is that just commandeering of the pavement), which is often full when the sun comes out, and a reasonable sized indoor area, which tends to be full of sun dodging Hong Kongers. I have noticed that a lot of the Lantau locals speak very fondly of this pub, and when I get sucked into a conversation with one, they would steer me there for lunch. It's as though they all have shares in the place. Last note the service in here is always very friendly and courteous, which is always nice if you've frustratingly just missed your ferry.
