Most all of them gave me a preferred "laowai" VIP card at NO COST. Good thing I didn't waste my money on the RS-Card. Most restaurant owners treat their loyal patrons quite well and should offer these discounts and promotions to ALL. The idea of a preferred PAID VIP CARD won't go over well with masses.

It's turned into another wanky coffeeshop like all the other places nearby. They were in some weird transitonal phase last time I went, and cobbled together a tiny burrito-resembling canape for 25 kuai, but don't bet on it next time you go. We have TJ's Mexican now instead, near LPG (who also do some good bar food). I haven't been but I hear Taco Tuesday is pretty good. Oh and bad news - Tortillas has closed.

La Villa's review has been sent to purgatory for the moment, I'll re-evaluate them sometime this week, I'd like to throw them into the good list. God knows we need more good places to eat here. Cheers Neil,
