We went to Sha Tin today. It is only 8 miles away in the New Territories, but is considered far. The bus ride there took 30 minutes. There is a restaurant in a former hotel that is famous for it's squab. What's a squab? It's a baby pigeon that is usually under 1 month old. These pigeons are raised for food. At its busiest, this restaurant sold 5,000 squab a day! It was nowhere near that busy today. What's really odd is that they bring you plastic gloves to wear w...

Happy Halloween! There is a lot of construction going on in this area. On our way to meet Clement for dim sum, I stepped on a piece of wire and it made some small abrasions on my ankle. I was thankful that my tetanus shot is up to date. The dim sum was pretty good. Afterwards, walked around that area for a while. I wanted to look at some of the furniture shops that we saw the last time we were here, it we couldn't find that street again. We met Kam and Lana f...

This mornings eats were congee and sticky rice at a little local eatery. This place was staffed with a bunch of old guys. A lady at the table next to us asked the waiter for the wifi password. He said, password? We are so behind the times that we don't even have a radio! None of us waiters even have a phone, That prompted a bunch of jokes in the restaurant. We took the ferry over to Discovery Bay. That's where Bonnie lives and we did a walking tour of that area....

We had an appointment to go work out on our friends' 28th floor rooftop. He was going to invite some people who do karate here. Dave did a class with them. I did 3 hours. Dave taught for 4! Of course we were hungry afterward and went for roast duck, barbecued pork and a new veggie dish. It was ultra delicious. We met Clement and Bonnie for dinner. After much discussion, we went to a neighbourhood eatery. The food was ok, but the service was terrible.

Brunch today was dim sum in a place close to the apartment. It was really good, so will add it to the list. From there we went to a market. We picked up the items that Dave's mom wanted and a couple of things for ourselves. We visited with one of the vendors that we know. We met up with Clement and Bonnie for dinner. Dave wanted Chiu Chao style food, so we walked to a restaurant in a local area. We had roast goose, clams, oysters and some veggies. It was really d...
