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.
“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 …
Anger usually is short term. But it could be brewed into hatred. Morphed into vengefulness. It’s rare to be able to let go. It’s even rarer to be able to see a purpose and a role in it. Definitely a secret to happiness. I found someone …
My friends took me there to see this man known for working wonders with the power of God. That man saw us and went right to my deeper need. “Your sins are forgiven.” How insightful! But on that day, my concern lied elsewhere …
我一點惱火都沒有。出奇得很。平常的我必定惱怒發火。甚至暴跳如雷。怒不可遏。今次卻不一樣……我希望你在閱讀這長篇網誌的時候,會感受到上帝的意思原是好的……
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 …
I’m not bitter. Surprisingly. The usual me would have been. Even mad. Anger erupting. Behaviour annoying. But not this time … I hope that reading this long blog you will get the sense that God meant for good …
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 …
HK preachers have overlooked preaching Psalm 1:3 to show how our leaders have been blessed. It’s therefore about time pastors and preachers stop shying away from telling Christians in HK the positives of our leaders. Time to tell the good story of HK …
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……
