HK Food & Thoughts

Welcome to my blog!
I share my Hong Kong experience, places and foods in Hong Kong and Macau, thoughts on faith and things I couldn’t figure out.
I hope you like them, get stimulated, provoked, and then comment.
Be warned: it is a blog of a babyboomer with Christian background, with all the baggage.
曾經有人向小說家金庸提問,當他在三藩市首度學習英語時,有否因為自己不諳英語而感到不如人。他的回答斬釘截鐵:「誰在乎!」舊約聖經有另外三個字,也許比上述三個字力量更強:「誰知道」……
Ravens are unclean and detestable, the case is closed. Who would touch them? No one would use them! But perhaps God! It’s recorded that the prophet Elijah was fed by foods brought by none other than ravens! There’s hope for someone like or labelled as ravens …
When the novelist Kam Yung (金庸) was asked if he had felt bad about his English when he first learned it while in San Francisco, his answer was brutal: WHO CARES! Two other words that perhaps have a stronger force are found in the Old Testament: WHO KNOWS …
“Several decades later we shall meet.” Those were my dad’s final words. Recently my younger brother recalled: “Just before she passed away in the hospital, mother kept asking me to pray for her to go to heaven.” Guess humans nearing the end have a built-in longing to be there …
I always imagine a photograph showing an 80 year old talking in a 100 year old HK tram over her cellphone to her grand children in overseas captures perfectly human achievement in our life, through a phone …
Nowadays IT is powerful and convenient. Say you are looking for hotels in San Francisco. So you can set FILTERS of prices … But then why doesn’t Amazon give prospective customers a FILTER that says “MADE IN”?
I checked before disposing those expired test kits. Tiny fonts read Made in China. Communist China’s conquest is in plain sight in tiny fonts. It’s so stealthy. One wouldn’t know it has arrived …
Trump, a US President faraway from HK as a target for a HK Christian theology professor in a Government funded University is way too rich whilst the HK political leaders who mucked up HK since 2019, and especially those who …
This is a heart-felt message from an old timer. Years ago, a well respected retired Bible Professor told me he had one major regret: that his ministry was at the expense of him attending church without his wife for many years …
This is a piece of recent news with a strange twist. That’s how HK churches usually pick their leaders, and in this case deacons, in the Catholic Church. This piece will explore how far secularism has eaten into the core of churches …
It would be hard to be sure if she was surprised. This guest Jesus knew what she was doing! Not only let her do it. But he knew why! Clearly, Jesus saw differently. He saw her motives. He saw her gratitude. Gratitude from forgiveness. And Jesus said …
Some weeks ago there was a once-a-half-century major news. No it’s not Trump’s so-called “hush money” trial, rather the total eclipse of the sun. Years ago a trained physician well known for his preference for historical accounting recorded the total eclipse of his generation …
Life is so NOT easy. Then there’s the million dollar question: what is best next? The most serious of all: how to secure forgiveness and eternal life? Alas! Grace is found.At a juncture with surprising ease. It takes some reading, and simple trust ...
我的生命逐漸消逝。一個一百二十歲的老人。四十年沒有強積金的工作。喔喲!一份沒完沒了、令人討厭的苦差。我的工作不是做得頂瓜瓜,但至少我完成了你的託付。此刻,我站在這片土地邊緣……
上星期約了老表一起晚飯吹水,想食潮州菜,選擇了位於土瓜灣的「四點金」。除了店面光鮮外,食物亦有水準,還加上服務友善,價錢親民,亦開始改變我對潮州菜館的想法……
