চাইনা হাউস লঊঞ্জ

Valentine's day, 2010.

The lounge has mosquitoes. We complained. The hilarious response I got from the staff was that mosquito problem began since smoking was banned. Finally, a pest-control gent came by with an insect racquet, and swished it around where we sat.

The DJ was hard to communicate with. He said flatly - "This is not a night when we take requests. I can play only what I'm told to." The manager intervened, a little, and promised that a few minutes before closing, we'd definitely hear our favourite retro tunes.

The atmosphere (minus mosquitoes) was nice though, and the crowd seemed decent. The cocktails were innovative too. Worth one visit, but bring the Odomos along!
