Bro Joker, I guess either the driver is from out-of-town, or he gets a kick-back for taking you to金海港 – I believe the later is probably true because it is tough to miss the building at night if you head south towards Daya Bay on KaiCheng Road near the roundabout where KaiCheng meets RenMin Road. It takes less than 10mins by taxi (cost 10yuan) from New Regent to FuKang, or by the motor-bike taxis that are still very common in DS for RMB4.
The building is called the FuKang International Commercial Centre富康国际 that also houses a hotel, KTV and SN that commenced operation in late 2009. However, the SN is actually called 英豪. For the SN room, the hardware is not too bad although it suffers from the usual Chinese problem of lacking in maintenance. For a relatively new joint, it is already looking tired and the room I had on my last visit 6 months ago suffers from wallpaper peeling off – not a good sight.
As for the software, from memory I think the pricing is from 400 to 800. I saw a couple of those in the top grade that did not impress me, and remember picking one in the 400 grade on my last visit. She is new, syt and just graduated from a popular 1-4-7 KTV since she said it is just not worth drinking all the booze and getting a take home pay/tip of 80yuan (20 to mummy). Although sweet, she didn’t try too hard and rather SOP; she was rather blurr and told me it’s her first day. I get the impression that the management is rather lax.
In DS many customers do not take out the KTV gals since most customers are not “tourists” (炮宾团), but locals who just cannot bring them home. Many “expats” are also in the same position, with either wife or gf at home. Most locals and expats therefore go to KTVs to sing and get drunk – they do not take the KTV gals out, but they usually try to get the gals drunk. Instead, they go to SN after KTV to bonk themselves silly, since 300/400 will get a good bonk with good service while KTV gals are no guarantee for such “service” – and can also stay overnight at SN for free or little extra fee, telling their COs at home that they need the rest after drinking, due to the heavy drink-driving penalty in China. It also makes economical sense: either 100 or 200 for KTV gal to sit, SN can be anywhere from 200 to 500 – so can drink, fuck and then sleep song song at the SN before driving home the next morning.
FuKang also has a KTV that is reasonably popular, with about 60+ rooms and a large open lounge area with live performance. But the live performance does not really get going until 9:00pm and no point going too early, although you get the pick of the waitresses to talk to. I usually just have the waitresses to join me for the drinks and play dice while enjoying the show. However, live performance is not in the same grade as that of HuangJiang’s Prince or Houjie’s JiaHua, so you must really lower your expectations to avoid disappointment. While you can try to sweet talk the waitresses to go out, a sure bet will be to know one of the managers or mummies so that you can have access to the choices of the gals from the KTV upstairs. In fact, the larger of the KTV rooms have balconies overlooking the stage. Again, not all the KTV gals will go out, and you must check with the mummy before you decide if you plan to da-bao.
