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.

深井燒鵝品牌多，「裕記」出名，亦有多年米芝蓮，但評論多以「吸 $」為主，放棄。「陳記」在我家附近有分店，不選擇。所以最後揀咗聽聞多以招呼街坊為主的「傅記」……

舒靈輕食 (3)：在基督裏死了的人必先復活

Comfort foods for the soul (2): But God meant for good

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 …
