I can access Yahoo! Mail both in HK and the US alright.
ReplyDeleteThank you for letting me know. You confirmed my blog's existence.
ReplyDeleteHad I been banned from reading your blog at work, I would've resigned as an interpreter and switched to more challenging work, e.g. distributing humanitarian aid in the Congo or Darfur for CARE.org or Medicin san Frontier.
ReplyDeleteI'm leaving in five minutes to catch up with Vince and Will in Wanchai.
Thanks.
ReplyDeleteOh well, fine dining at Grand Hyatt .... Meanwhile your friend here is having a toasted raisin bagel and a glass of milk. Rein in your gastronomic indulgence, Mr Epicure.
when would you treat us dinner in Flushing Sheraton
ReplyDeleteYou mean Hop Won?
ReplyDeletecome, spend your money with us, we promise to make you happy, why not ? I don't like Hop Won, learn from Prof. Vinci, he spent a little and made all of us happy and in high morale again
ReplyDeleteI'm no gourmet, man. As far as food is concerned, only quantity matters to me.
ReplyDeleteFor instance, after eating at the romantic Italian restaurant that evening, Vince said the food was not very good given its price tag.
I think the ravioli I had was acceptable but I wondered why it's not cooked in tomato sauce. When I have ravioli at Pizza Hut, it always comes in tomato sauce.
I secretly told Vincent [it's secret no more now] if he hadn't asked Will to dinner at a five-starred hotel, Will would've never agreed to come out.
ReplyDeleteYou know this guy? I've asked him repeatedly to dine with me at Tsa Tsan Teng's and I'd buy him lunch or dinner. He's always come up with all kinds of excuses to turn me down.
I think you are probably right. Especially now that he's famous, only 5 star hotel can do.
ReplyDeleteRavioli or Italian wonton, I guess you can serve it with any sauce you like. Tomato sauce is an option.
I enjoy fine dining too but I guess can live without.
I don't know the restaurant scene in Hong Kong, so I don't know what's good and what's not so good. I guess a lot of them are just being pretentious.
Lately there is a place in Flushing that selling rice platter combo for 4.25 (house soup, 3 dishes and white rice), I think that's totally unbelievably cheap.
I'm not used to fine food at all. I'd fidget when I'm eating at posh restaurants.
ReplyDeleteRather, I find myself much at ease eating or snacking at cooked food stalls, you know, such as those we see at Mongkok, HK or See Lam in Taipei.
Applying Will's eugenics theory, the leisure and relaxation I find eating in roadside cooked food stalls is in my blood. Nothing can change that.
I'd like to take you guys to Café TOO when you come back. Both Will and I think it's very good and you'll get an excellent value-for-money dining experience there.
At Discovery Park 愉景新城 near us, the food court is selling two-dish platter ["Learn" Sung Fan] with soup or canned soda at HK$20 while single choice of barbecued meat rice platter together with house soup and milk tea at HK$18 only. Wanna go there? Yum! Yum!
I mean we'll have buffet or eat à la carte at Café TOO. The buffet lunch there is very famous and almost always fully booked.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to any food galore.
