A Talk on Walled Village Cuisine

Famous "To-to" - chatting with participants after the talk!

On 19.7.2007 evening, I attended the talk by Mr Leung Man-to "To-To" on Walled Village Cuisine, organised by HKU Reading Club. He is the managing director of the decade-old Tai Wing Wah Restaurant and a famous local gourmand. Though he did not talk much about walled village cuisine, it was rewarding to share his experience in making delicious dishes! Hopefully I will dine out at the Tai Wing Wah Restaurant soon, he said that there were 20 new dishes every month! However, it is difficult to book seats in advance!

Japan Trip - 30.6.2007 to 4.7.2007

Hashikui-iwa Rock - 40 strange shaped rocks!

I have taken a short break from work and joined the Japan 5-day tour by Sunflower Travel Co. We visited a number of cities in Wakayama Perfecture, Osaka and Kobe. Instead of typical castles, shrines and temples, it was amazing to see many beautiful natural landscape in Wakayama Perfecture. However, it was not enough time for us to have shopping in Osaka! It is always nice to travel to Japan; everywhere is clean and the Japanese people are friendly. I also liked to collect stamps of different tourist attractions!
