Hotel dining rooms - yes, mostly over-priced IMHO and really not much need to dine there as there are so many alternatives to them these days. Some of them, especially the smaller ones, have caught on that they need to offer competitive pricing/services to compete effectively i.e.the Sun Kong which now offers pretty good all you can eat hot pots, the Clipper with their OK priced dinner buffet in their Bali restaurant etc.

Yes, there's quite a few of these Pig intestine places opening up these days; one just 1 block down from Boton Steak house on Chang Ping avenue and I went to one just across the street from Silvery Holiday the other day - but I like the one I usually go to (as above) because of the peanuts!
On barbecue - quite a few good ones all over the place; the alley way behind the Rainbow department store is turned into a virtual food street after 11 PM with vehicular traffic not allowed, and there's all sorts of great places there. I particularly like the 2 Fujian stalls selling great fried noodles, double boiled soups (Only RMB 5 for a pot filled with lots of meats etc!) but crap dumplings! And of course barbecue stalls - but I've learned to be a bit careful to look that the stuff I pick is fresh; I've had nasty runs after consuming what I now figure must have been some satays gone bad but unnoticeable as it had been spiced/marinated heavily. The ma laat tang stalls there are also great as a lot of the working gals live at the apartment building on top of the Rainbow and they have their supper there after work. There's also quite a few guys who Bao their gals in that building and their guys are NOT ALWAYS in town are they? LOL!
Porridge hot pot - I tried this in Guangzhou last month and it was delicious! Thank you/glad to hear that CP now has a place serving this too; for sure I'll go there soon. And talking about the New Century area - how about the famous Roast Chicken restaurant just further in from the Jin Long/Kam Long hotel? I've been going there since the chicken was only RMB 18 each and the place was just wooden shacks to how it is now housed in a modern concrete/glass building. Still very good chicken but of course more pricey these days.
And how about the New Century KTV itself? Any bros gone there recently and can report? The last time I went there was during the 2nd from last Yanda when nothing else was open. I got a bit perturbed then as the girl quality there was really quite bad and then I glimpsed that small line-up of ducks; somehow, just the thought that there were guys on display there also was quite unsettling to me.
