There is a short list of good desserts and every sort of exotic coffee, served with chocolate pretzels and other delights. The wine list features an imaginative selection of mainly New World wine, not exorbitantly priced by Hong Kong's standards. Without wishing to be indelicate, I have to tell you about the gentlemen's cloak-room. It provides for relief equivalent to a great gastronomic and artistic experience. You wash your hands, not in a basin, but on a beautiful sculptured piece of marble, shallowly indented, with warm water flowing from a gentle fountain.
Hot towels await.
I am told that the ladies cloakroom, in its different way, is equally dramatic. The Peninsula, Salisbury Road, Kowloon, Hong Kong.
