Paradiso @ Shek-O

October 12 -- i received a phone call from abi after work, telling me to meet her and that we're going to shek-o where chi and deb are waiting for us. and since it's a friday night, i went without hesitation. it's located way east of hong kong island, opposite side from where i live.

we took the mtr to shau kei wan where we had to wait for a mini bus that would take us to shek-o beach. 30 minutes later, still no bus came so we decided to take a cab. even though we told the driver to take us to shek-o, he kept asking us where. and since i saw the name "big wave beach" at the terminal, i told the driver to take us there, thinking it's one and the same with shek-o beach. another 30 minutes in the cab and we finally got to big wave beach only to find out it's not where we should be. so now we're lost and hungry. since the cab already left, we had to wait for bus no. 9 and fortunately, we didn't have to wait long.

we're finally at shek-o beach. we met up with chi and deb, bought some dinner and brought it back to jasmine's place. at this point i was confused at what our business there was. i thought chi and deb went swimming and we were there to join them. but it turned out that we were there to visit jasmine at her new place (provided by her company) and also for the opening of the bar where she works:

CLUB PARADISO -- it's located at the beachside of shek-o beach. a big wooden door will welcome you to a bar with a "summer night" vibe. the floor, which used to be tiles, were covered up with sand. all over the place were shell curtains and seats made from bamboo and rattan wood. the dim lighting mostly came from candles. and since it's the opening, the staff welcomes you with complimentary glasses of sangria followed by slices of pizza.

as you go deeper into the place, by the bar, they have a projector set up that illuminates ocean waves onto the ceiling giving a more aquatic atmosphere. and the bar itself is made of aquarium so you'll see fishes underneath the bar top as you get your drinks. they serve the drinks on plastic glasses and for a good reason -- if real glasses break, the pieces would be hard to find on the sand. as for the music, they played songs like sublime's "santeria" and bob marley's "no woman, no cry", you get the idea. later into the night, they change it into upbeat sounds, something more danceable.

for a beach bitch like me, the place was great and it sorta reminded me of boracay. if it wasn't so far from where i live, i would go there every weekend.
