Dinner tonight was with a couple of ex-colleagues from 15 years ago.

Pumpkin Flower Soup with Pork and Clams

Spicy Beef with Lotus Stems and Chilli

Stir Fried Bitter Melon with Black Fermented Beans

There was also an excellent dish of crisp skin roast duck, but for some unknown reason my cell phone camera seems to have lost that picture.

We then retired to one colleagues home which was conveniently above the restaurant, where we continued drinking tea and eating fresh Chinese date (Jujubes), lychees, mixed nuts etc. This ex-colleague is a now a professional musician playing guzheng (古筝), a traditional 21 string Chinese instrument. She has toured Europe and America giving concerts. We got a free one after dinner!

Fresh Chinese Dates (Jujubes)
(After we ate half of them.)
