1. its an expat magazine, so the report goes to the burger joint--there's probably 1 burger joint for every other 500 restaurants opened.
2. its located in liangmaqiao, give the expats there what they want (assuming they want another fast food chain that isn't mcds)
3. its a new large building..in fact... its 'grand'... i'm sure there's other styles of restaurants besides these guys.

And now torrent sites blocked. Why doesn't China just go the whole hog and develop a zhongguo intranet. That's what the Government really wants.
I see all the blocking as away to control the next generation, who are far removed from the stuffy 40+ year olds in the CCP.

The Killers...they're not a spectacular band. I mean, I'm sure people will look back in the future and say, "Yeah the Killers were...fine, their music was fine. Yeah...fine. *silence*"

Excuse me for trying to make light of an oversight. Do you want me to get technical, fatty? Or maybe just weep at the feet of the nearest grinning Big Ron statue?

Pijiu12 - seeing as you are perhaps "attached" to the restaurant in more than a casual way, why don't you or one of your colleagues take the time to talk to the city's restaurant listing magazines and websites directly to explain the closures? I think everyone would benefit. If customers go to Agua because of a listing on our site or in our magazines and find it to be closed, it reflects badly on everyone.

Not like it's a minor detail. Would you order a Whopper at McDonalds?

It's not my fault you don't give a shit about your job and flaunt it proudly.

Yeah i just called and they said they are open for business but just have to restock the restaurants after power was down for two days..... wow, they don't want to poison their customers with bad food, that must mean something....

So my friend called and has booked a table for monday night. Guess they are back and it was a power problem.

Today i was also talking to another friend who said this sort of thing has happened in the past and it's definitely not a first at Ch'ienmen 23.

Did you find out how many times the power has gone out in other restaurants in Ch'ienmen 23 since they opened??

In fact, apparently all Maison Boulud, Saddler and Meat and Wine have gone through power cuts at one stage or another according to friends who told the me they were there when it happened.

Maybe that is something you should investigate tom since you seem to be such a good journalist, as we all know! Your next caption can be "What is wrong with Ch'ien men 23 power supply??"

Is this a joke???

I was having lunch at Saddler today with a colleague, since you told everyone that agua is closed and i wanted to see for myself. But , to my surprise it is not true! They are open and the staff are all working???

Then I rang the reception number and they answered....good one guys! Maybe you should have waited a little longer to get the facts straight and not jumped the gun.
