Kee Club versus the Spoke Club
Saturday, September 26th, 2009
So last night we went to the Kee Club in Hong Kong. One of the Spoke’s reciprocal clubs. Let me say–formidable. First of all, it was full of French people which of course I just ate up. The club itself was significantly smaller, with no outdoor space. The decore was a lot more Euro glam (tres francais) and the menu couldn’t have been more different. First of all, I got a menu with no prices. So French. Next, the menu only lists the ingredients of what was in the dish–not what the dish was or even a description. We had really no idea of what we were getting, how it was prepared or exactly just what we were in for. Needless to say, it was innovative and absolutely fantastic.
The club has 2 levels. We ate on the second floor. After dinner, it was 70s and 80s music. The first floor was house music. We were told that the Singapore Grand Prix was on this weekend and as a result, the club was more quiet than usual. We thought there were a lot of people.
We left at 1:30 and it was nowhere near shutting down.
The club is in the heart of Lan Kwai Fong (the English, expat area) and when we left the club, you would have thought it was Mardi Gras. Marc thought it was Spring break in Cancun. Absolutely wild.
We had such a fantastic time at the Kee Club in Hong Kong, we are now going to go to the Kee Club in Shanghai which is supposedly very different.
More on that later!
