Door to tea dance...




Alice found another door to luxurious enjoyment...this one is actually a small dim sum restaurant, Colorful Dragon Restaurant, in Shek Kip Mei. The restaurant is located in an older part of the town, surrounded by public housing estates. The entrance to the place is still maintained in the 1970s style: gold-colored columns, the name of the restaurant in big Chinese character and the coin-operated mechanical rides! Alice hasn't seen any of these mechanical rides for ages! Just when Alice thought this is just another regular neighborhood dim sum restaurant, she spotted the poster.

The poster:
Colorful Dragon Night Club
Great music and fancy dancing at Colorful Dragon
Tea Dance: $68 Night Dance: $108

The neighborhood dim sum restaurant will be your neighborhood night club from afternoon onwards! Tea Dance, once a dirty word for something else, has made a strong comeback in Hong Kong in recent years. Now, it is not the men who go to these tea dance venues in various neighborhoods, but the housewives. The mamas put on their fancy dresses and dance with their friends. It is all about having a girls' night out!

Though the poster doesn't say when Tea Dance will start, Alice saw the waiters clearing out the regular dining tables for the dance at about 2pm. One night, Alice will call up all of her friends to enjoy a night out of dancing!
