Razor Clams with spicy sauce...and mango

went to Tai Po market again last night, had some more great seafood. Never had had razor clams before, only had seen them rotting on the beach. These were served in a spicy sauce and we're the best of the meal.

The second best was the chicken with honey and lemon again. We then went off to Tai Wai for some dessert. The shop was opened by a pastry chef, after he lost his job post SARS. I'd say he was more into custards then pastry's. I had fresh mango, egg white custard, and large tapiocas; a great dessert, not only good tasting.....but good for your as well.

I've become obsesed with mango, been having 1/2 lbs of dried mangoes daily. As well as coconut, mango, and taro drinks after lunch. Probably like everything having lots of something isn't good for me

so what religion is this?

went for a local walk around Shatin on Sunday, walked up to a former monastery which turned into a Lutheran College. Which is quite an odd transition. It looks like there should be private home with concubines and such; but instead it's a college; oddly there also a lot of monkeys around as well.
