COUNTRY LIFE 02: MY SEAFOOD, LET ME SHOW YOU THEM

[defrog]

Part 2 of a three-part photojournalism series of How dEFROG Spent The Chung Yeung Festival.

For lunch, we went to nearby Lau Fau Shan, a tiny village in Yuen Long that evidently has some kind of deal with the local tourism agencies, who bring daytrippers there for lunch. There’s quite a few seafood restaurants there, one of which I ate at the last time we took a trip up to the New Territories. We ate at a different one this time, and the food was pretty good: the usual batch of steamed fish, steamed prawns, roast chicken, sweet’n’sour pork, garlic scallops and vermicelli on the half shell, pak choi and all the rice you can eat. Good food!

To get there, we walked through a marketplace where dried seafood, snacks and similar items were the main attraction.



PRODUCTION NOTE: The restaurant in the pic above isn’t the one where we ate. That’s one of the restaurants on the main roundabout.

Next: Hunting for crocodiles!

Are you going to eat that,

No, the oyster business is pretty much gone. People mostly make their living repairing shipping containers nowadays.
