Superb gardener has hours available--Ajijic

07 June 2013 - 01:53 PM

This young man has been working for us for almost a year and he has transformed our formerly struggling gardens and lawns in just 8 hours per week. He has been trained by his father, a well known and respected local gardener. Absolutely a reliable, hard worker who clearly loves working with plants and gardens.

PM me for his contact information. Feel free to come by and see his work for yourself.

Question For The Presbyterians

04 June 2013 - 10:07 AM

I recall seeing a report not too long ago that a Presbyterian group had purchased the old hat factory in Riberas, on La Ribera street, and was planning a complete redo of it. Is this still on? Any concrete plans yet?

If done right, this could be very good for Riberas.

Min Wah for dinner

01 June 2013 - 06:35 AM

After moving our Sunday breakfast group to Min Wah and being very satisfied with the results, Four of us had dinner there last night. We ordered four different entres, chicken, beef, pork and seafood plus had the hot and sour soup and egg rolls.

You would never confuse this with the great Chinese food you get on the west coast of the U.S. but it certainly is more than adequate considering we're out here in the south boondocks :) . The hot and sour soup and egg roll could hold their own in most places. The entres were well prepared and tasty, spicy but not too hot, the rice was also quite decent. Quantities are generous, we all took food home.

Our meal for two, with a glass of wine and a beer and a generous tip, came to 410 pesos. Next time, we will order less, it was just too much food.

The service, as is true at breakfast, was attentive without being intrusive. The ladies who wait tables are amiable and thorough, service at Min Wah is better than most local restaurants IMO. The dining room is pleasant and spacious and you can also eat outside on the patio if you wish.

Although not like eating Chinese in San Francisco or Seattle, it definitely held its own when compared to a Chinese meal we had in San Miguel. The consensus at our table was that we would return.
