The Hong Kong winter is running out. The humidity is coming back and the temperatures is increasing again. Soon the rain will start to poor down and for a couple of months we wont be able to see the peak of our local mountain. Winter is here not really winter, and temperatures like back home we haven't had at all. This winter has been extreme mild. Last year we were freezing in our house at about 7 degrees with the heater running constantly and wraped in three layers of clothes and warm korean bedsocks. But this year we've only had the heater turned on a couple of times.
We got an opportunity to remember the feeling of real winter at Christmas time when we were back in Scotland on holiday, and also last weekend where we went to an Ukrainian restaurant for dinner, "Ivan the Kozak", and like other Russian restaurants here in Hongkers, they also had a frost room for serving vodka. -12 degrees it is in there and you get dressed up in big fury coats and then you can try different vodka's by arctic temperatures, and of course get your photo taken in front of a large photo wall and with fake fir trees and icicles hanging down from the ceiling.
So if you think we look cool, then you're right, it was cool in there.
The food and the atmosphere is good and authentic at the "Kozak", so if you read these post as preparation for a Hong Kong trip and like Ukrainian or Russian food, then I can recommend this little restaurant for an evening out.
Ivan the Kozak, LG/F 46 - 48 Cochrane Street, Central, Hong Kong.
