Rebranding as it's best - St Betty

I go shopping in IFC when I wait Sweet Sweet Boyfriend to come back from airport.  He go business trip all time but I no go with him because place he goes no very nice.  He no go New York, Paris, London, or Milan these days.  He go something something "stan" and I say, "No fashion show? It ok, you go and come back."

I see lots of people walking but no too many people buying on 2nd floor of IFC.  I may need stop shopping there because I think every rich person go to France or Italy to buy now.  If I still buy in HK, that make me no grand. 

I was hungry and remember there is Betty's Kitschen next to the Giuseppe Zanotti shop.  I went and see everything same same but wait, where is Betty's Kitschen?  There no more Betty's Kitschen but a place call St Betty.  I know St John in London and I hear about St George in HK but I no know their cousin St Betty is now in HK.  

It 1pm and they have table for me.  The place very bright and sunny.   I think I say direct sunlight no good for women and they no listen to me.  I so mad and immediately put on SPF 100 and my big sunglasses.  I get freckles, I angry die them. 

Sweet Sweet Boyfriend got me the new Samsung Galaxy Note II LTE and so I immediately use it to google for St Betty.  Hmm... It's by someone call Shane Osborn who work at Pied a Terre, some famous Michilin star restaurant.  There are many foodie people say it very good at St Betty.  So, St Betty no cousin of St John or St George but this is so grand and I think my food will be bestest of the week and I can show Sweet Sweet Boyfriend that I can find good restaurant without his help...  Only to find I so wrong and should stick with Sweet Sweet Boyfriernd's recommendation. 

I sit down for 10 minutes but no one come take my order and they no stool for my handbag.  I put my handbag and my shopping in the chair but I no happy.  What if they drop anything on my bag?  I wait longer and they put down some baguette on my table.  They look very cute (almost like Hello Kitty cute) with tiny tiny tip but the bread crust has a crack.  I eat a little of bread.  Crispy crust but no much taste.  So, just ate the tip and no more eating bread. Even though it before 3pm.  I should not eat too much carb, especially I order the  pasta with trifle mushroom.



The menu say sauteed spatzle, wild mushroom, fresh black truffle, taleggio cheese.  I no know why they always get it wrong.  Truffle is dessert, trifle is the smelly mushroom, right?  Anyway, I order it (but I will ask my PT to increase my weight training from 1 lb to 2 lbs tomorrow and increase it by 2 minutes) because Sweet Sweet Boyfriend say trifle very good in trifle season toward end of year.  I no understand the smell of trifle but if Sweet Sweet Boyfriend and his foodie friend eats black trifle in winter, I eat too.  The pasta ok taste but I think Sweet Sweet Boyfriend one at home taste stronger.  He use Chanterelles and morel to make me pasta and I think just as good if no better.  Maybe Sweet Sweet Boyfriend is Michilin star chef too.


The food no bad but no better than Sweet Sweet Boyfriend cooking.  Service was definitely no good. I waited for 30 minutes, asked 2 times to get my food.  They no too busy but they didn't get my food.  I upset because it got close to 3pm and I cannot eat carb then.

Maybe I no go back till I go with Sweet Sweet Boyfriend....
