A happening area on the weekends
Living in Asia for quite some time, my meat and cheese plate fix has been long overdue. Sure there are places where you can get meat and cheese platters all around Asia, but it's never quite like home.  As soon as I walked into this place and took a look around, I spotted the pig masks hanging up in the back. I was immediately evoked with thoughts of the past and recalled a strange episode of Ren & Stimpy! I can't quite say if remembering that show is a good thing or not...(for any of you, who have watched it)  I love it when wine reminds me of something long ago or brings me back to a time or place in the past, but oddly enough it was the meat masks that had me overtaken by nostalgia. 
Meat, cheese, wine, good company, nostalgia=bliss.

This place tends to fill up fast, and meats and cheeses are not served all night. Do yourself a favor! come early, try more, have more time to drink more wine =)

Cheese galore 

Llama Malbec, Argentina $28 (red plum & sweet tobacco yumm)
