Fabulous rooftop patio and unique, Asian-inspired decor makes Lotus Blue a Houhai favorite. Complimenting its exotic feel is a tasty Thai menu, including Thai barbeque throughout the summer. FYI: for Tin Tin fans, the familiar name is no coincidence.

City Weekend says:

With ?70s-style eggshell chairs and disco lights, this Solana bar street pioneer offers a much chiller atmosphere than most of its competitors. HLG?s reasonably priced drinks are well mixed, and the service is attentive, but the real selling point is the retro-futurist décor and Friday?s live Filipino jazz band.

The service is great, but with limited English speaking skills. Definitely come to this place to test out the new Korean or Chinese song you've been practicing, without having to hop every step trying to avoid dirt and other gunk on the floor.

City Weekend says:

Keeping to the Gongti formula, far-out, sci-fi decor encases this high-ceiling dance hall, and tables crowd an already tiny dance floor. MGM occasionally scores a top 20 DJ, but its schizophrenic music policy ensures all one can be sure of during the week is that its KTV suites will impress even the hardened Gongti clubber.
