Dining Out With Our Fellow Temple Missionaries


An invitation from Sister Chan for Dim Sum in June at the
Star of Canton Restaurant.
Good food with a great view of the harbor and Hong Kong Island.
The Balls, The Bodilys, Nora, and The Shums
Italian cuisine at Al Dente's.  They serve the best ribs in Hong Kong.
If you come with The Balls, dessert is complimentary.
Eating Oyster Pie at a private restaurant as guests of Sister Chan.
To be honest, we both choose Dim Sum over Oyster Pie.
Checked out the Grand Opening of the Fung Shing Restaurant in Wampoa,
and we all agreed it was the ideal place for a banquet with all the temple missionaries.
Elder and Sister Ngai made the arrangements for our banquet.
Sister and Elder Inouye joined us.  
We learned that a banquet in China is not necessarily held for a special occasion, 
or to honor someone.
Its simply a dinner for a group with several dishes being served.
Dinner at Outback Steakhouse on Mody Road in Tsim Sha Tsui.
A nice meal with our friends before attending the Acrobat Show at the
Cultural Centre in TST.
We tried out the Butcher Club for a great hamburger.
The music was a little loud, the space was limited, the price was a little high, 
and the hamburger was okay,
but A&W Rootbeer was served, and the company was great, so you can't beat that.
We had a planning meeting with Elder and Sister Chan that led to a trip to Central
and dinner at a Vietnamese Restaurant.
 La'taste
Lets just say, we might just eat there again sometime.

A lot of our activities involve eating out,
which we enjoy, as we are trying many different ethnic foods.
But, we especially enjoy making memories with our fellow missionaries.

oyster pie sounds a bit scary to me. i am glad you get time to explore and try so many new things.

Dad is willing to try anything, and I'll try almost anything, so we gave oyster pie a try. After the first bite, we both found it hard to swallow another bite. It was actually worse than I imagined. We just didn't want to offend Sis. C so we suffered through.
