Hey Guys,

The picture of the greenish crab ‘roe’ isn’t actually crab roe for your info. That greenish stuff is crab fat. It can be eaten and taste good especially when the crab is super fresh. Crab roe is orange red in colour, pretty much like the yolk of salted duck eggs. The texture and taste (to me) of egg roe is very much like duck egg yolks, possibly because of the high fat content like that of ducks eggs.

Han Ju Hot Pot sounds good to me too.

In fact I’m trying to hook up with two friends to go there in the next week or two. I will report back to you all on our experience.

Hey, the entry for that dinner!

I am very backlogged with your blog, hehe. I’m still at the Han Ju Hot Pot entry.

And oh, “gregarious”, eh? ;P

Hi Ben and Suanne, that was really a good dinner we had that night. Everybody had a great time with good food and good company. Count me in again for sure for the next Chowtimes foodies get-together.

You mentioned the duck feet, I was trying to convince Ken to try it but I wasn’t successful. It was actually delicious for me anyway.

We’ll see each other again this weekend for the Vancouver dine-out dinner.

It was great meeting you again Ben, your wife Suanne for the first time, and all the other Chowtimes devotees. Boy you folks are one serious foodies group, I was truly impressed.

I agree with your impression of Tong Kung.

Looking forward to the next CT group excursion !

the dishes seem very unauthentic, cantonized…
