Thanks for tips on ambience restaurants CNX. Just back from Palaad Tawanron, close to CNX U. Bit hard to find the desolate spot (poor signage) up on hills, with good views of waterfall and city lights. Not too pricey given the place. great pork knuckles. Caveat: Not for chionging set. Only makan with views.
