Turkish Delights in Knutsford

Just got back from a place in Kowloon called Knutsford Terrace. It's waaaaaayy nicer than Wan Chai. This is a part of Tsim Sha Tsui where the locals and the expats go to hang out and relax. Lot's of swanky bars and restaurant lounges.

We happened in on a Turkish one that served Turkish food and a wide variety of drinks.

Best of all they offer the Argilie. Also known as the hookah pipe. Here's a shot of my buddy Frederick rocking the bong.

If you've never had it before, its kinda like breathing scented air since the thick smoke is some how unnoticable to you. It's not at all like a cigarette where a puff or two gives you a high. Rather you just sit there, fill your lungs with this cool temperature smoke and then exhale. Ours was apple flavour. Yum!

Gotta give some advice though. When I saw a row of these pipes on the bar behind us, I pointed to them just past a lady sitting behind our table and I yelled, "Hey look! They got Hookahs here!"

Man I still remember the awful look that woman and her man shot me.

Anyways, we will definitely be back soon. The prices are way better than any other place and the food was delicious. And they got Hookahs for everyone!
