It looks like a kosher grocery store, though I've never heard of it before.

Only the grill closed. The grocery store there is at the same address (on HK Island) as the one on the website. I don't know anything about he one in Kowloon though.

It doesn't seem like anyone mentioned upthread that the waterside dairy cafe in the JCC has been replaced with a new dairy restaurant called "Seven Zero". I went there twice. Was very impressed. Very nice set up and great food. Delicious pizza!

He's an official shliach:
http://www.chabad.org/centers/default_cdo/aid/980636/jewish/Chabad-Lantau.htm
So 3 official Chabad Houses in HKG. Not bad! I understand the ones on HKI and Kowloon, but Discovery Bay (Lantau), really?

Sound from a lot of people that HKG is just a chinese manhattan and I should save my time and go elsewhere.

As of now planning on thu afternoon-sun morning in HKG and then sun-thu morning in CNX.

Should I skip HKG and instead go somewhere else? Bali? Vietnam?
