#hk bbq

[dasistleeway]

I even saw some tourists from Hong Kong coming to this diner, it's definitely a sign of authentic flavour...

Tuesday 8th October 2024

It has been a very interesting time here in HK. The comfortable tension between East and West, the rich and the not quite so rich. Nationalities that kind of know their place. Any sort of Asian food is available within a stones throw whilst also just a short walk away is an M&S food hall! There's a tiny bedroom provided in Liam's apartment which would initially have been there for a housekeeper, who would take care of the cleaning, cooking, shopping or anything else you may wish to add to the job description. In a small flat I imagine they would be very visible most of the time and I really can't imagine how you could live such an intimate life with the hired help ever present! They would most likely come from the Philippines and you would sponsor them and be held responsible for them. Should you fire them, they will be returned back to where they came from! From the rooftop garden, a scarce place of solice, it is immediately obvious, however, that you are not alone. You are surrounded by high rise apartments which look down on you and you in turn look down upon others. Each block has a roof seating area for one lucky wealthy tenant. They will have a quiet secluded space to sit or BBQ apart from the eagle gaze of a million eyes peering down upon you. Still, you can't be seen from below! But for all the millions here there's a community around where you live. Going out with Liam, we were continually bumping into his friends. We were in M&S only this morning on our own and we bumped into Ollie. Hello he said. Well he was working from home at the time. We meandered around some local streets, down Old Bailey Street and came across Victoria Prison, one of the first buildings the British put up during occupation. Closed now but maintained as part of the heritage program along with its neighbour the Old Armoury, which was a police Armoury and also magistrates court. The heritage exhibitions were unfortunately closed. A short stroll around the street market taking a last look at the live wet fish on death row and it was back to the apartment to pack.

And so it was to make our goodbyes to HK and to clatter our cases back down the hill from Caine Street, sadly against the flow of the up-going escalators and all the way to HK railway station for the Airport Express train. It's a short 9 hour flight into Sydney, so with something like a 3 hour time difference, we land at 9.45am, Wednesday. We will return to HK in January. In the meantime, it's hello to Sydney.

ps. Can't wait for the Cathay Pacific chicken and rice.

Foods and Drinks of 2023

This is Part 3 of the 2023 Year-End Blog Series. See Part 2 to read about my Eras Tour experience in Detroit!

Like any other year, no end-of-year reflection would be complete without looking back at all the food adventures that I went on. Without further ado, here are the foods (and drinks) I got to try this year.

First item on the list is the Chikara Udon from Raku in Downtown Toronto. With a rich broth and chewy noodles, alongside chicken, mochi and tokyo negi, this warm bowl of noodles soothes the soul.

Honey-Glazed Duck Breast from The Civic in Downtown Toronto.

Wine-Tasting from the Wayne Gretzky Estates in Niagara Wine Country.

Chasu Eggs Benny and Sakura Latte from Ohiru Cafe in Downtown Toronto.

Pork Katsu Sando from Katsupan.

Sushi Party Tray from Toro Toro Sushi in Mississauga, Ontario.

rambles on armed reaction & feminism

So I just finished Armed Reaction IV (I’ve been on a slow binge-watch of the series since last August cause I love Joyce Tang) and I have some thoughts I guess. Disclaimer: This is in no way a cohesive essay or anything just pure rambles cause it’s 1am. 

TWs for rape mention

Chan Sam Yuen (Joyce Tang) has always been the heart of the series even if the first female lead is always another actress in each series. In the first series she’s a complete tomboy, and the series is trying to have a feminist message and empower women. She was the first female cop in HK to fire a gun and gun-toting female cops/female cops in general were scarce so it was a big deal. To be honest I’ve never been really into the whole Sam Yuen/Ching Fung relationship from the start (even Joyce/Marco🤮 stuff irl aside). 

Anyways, Ching Fung (Marco Ngai) literally admits to being a misogynist and discriminates women based on their gender which is just... a red flag. The show wanted a nice enemies to lovers arc and sure their relationship is portrayed as cute sometimes but they sure go through a lot of shit. Even before the main messed up cheating arc with Wing (Angie Cheong) he gets drunk and hooks up with some girl in the first series too. 

I feel like the first series has a lot of these little feminist moments, where Sam Yuen is adamant that women can do anything men can do. Her character is contrasted with Yu Sau Ngo (Esther Kwan) who, at the start of the series, is a housewife who works a deskjob cause it’s more acceptable for women. She prioritizes her kid and her husband, but in the end her husband leaves her. I didn’t really like Bobby Au-Yeung’s character Siu Sang either. I’m glad Chi (Ada Choi)’s character actually broke up with him cause I don’t think I’d forgive a man if he switched out my birth control to try getting me pregnant like... red flag. 

Anyways, then as the series progresses and she becomes a mother, and starts to prioritize her family over work which I guess is normal and happens to women irl. It just felt like her character started changing too much and didn’t feel like the original feminist her from the first series. I suppose people change, and they wanted to show character development, like the tomboy in her early 20s can become a good wife/mother etc. I was kinda iffy on that, I don’t think she should’ve changed too much. Or maybe it’s meant to show that women can lean into ��traditional” female roles and still be strong feminists or whatever idk. Then I noticed in 2021 series, they bring back the feminist quotes from Sam Yuen. She challenges Moses Chan’s character a lot, saying things about strong women, and telling him not to assume certain misogynistic stereotypes about women. I think it’s a little on the nose and trying to get the audience to remember the first series like ‘Hey remember her?? The strong female character?’

Now let’s get into her experiences. Chan Sam Yuen is notorious for being one of if not TVB’s most tragic characters. Father already dead, violently raped, ptsd and other trauma, son killed, daughter kidnapped, nearly died giving birth to her second son, husband killed, etc... like... can she please have a break??? What was the reason for all this... Did the show keep throwing curveballs at her to prove how strong she is despite all that? Why does she have to suffer so much? Is it like those horror movies where she’s being punished for being a feminist? But ironically, it’s the things associated with traditional femininity like motherhood/being a wife where she gets hurt the most, like she loses her children and husband. Is this supposed to mean anything or am I reading too much into it?? 

The ending of series 4 was kind of an open ending (well until the 2021 series came), and was supposed to be hopeful. (And another TVB BBQ finale) Sam Yuen spends the rest of her life being optimistic that maybe one day, her husband will return. Maybe he’s alive out there. This is very similar to Joyce’s other notable character Hung Sheung Sin from Come Home Love: Lo and Behold who also spends 20 years yearning for a husband to come back. I feel like with all the grief Sam Yuen endures, it could’ve been explored a lot more. I mean, there were 40 episodes in Series 4! Dragged on way too long on things that I didn’t particularly care about if you ask me, and a lot of the Bobby/Ada stuff was like an exact rehash of the Bobby/Esther stuff in earlier series (he gets the girl, he doesn’t get the girl, etc.)  Then in Armed Reaction 2021 she finally gets some closure and learns to move on and finally accept that her husband is gone. Very emotional, well acted, and the best part of the reboot.

I feel that at the core of the series, the strongest points have always been the female friendships between Sam Yuen and the other female lead, whether it is Esther Kwan or Ada Choi’s characters. TBH They should’ve just been gay together They have always been supportive of each other throughout, which I appreciate.

BONUS:

Not even getting into the queer-coding discussion rn but bonus points for Sam Yuen saying she doesn’t discriminate gay people klsdjflsd.

And bonus points for Cherry (Mandy Lam) showing up in Armed Reaction IV. I didn’t expect her to be in so many episodes and have a whole plot based around her being forced to drug-deal. I thought she would only be in 1 episode so I’m pleasantly surprised <3 Love her and wish she could’ve interacted with Sam Yuen.

Week 41.2/52: October 10th - October 16th 2022 | "Yakinunu” 🥓

Went to a gay meeting eat dinner with Jesslyn and Katie at Shabusen Yakiniku House *but I kept calling it Yakinunu 😭 We actually wanted to eat at Sooda but the wait was getting to be over an hour so everyone just gave up and went somewhere else LOL big fail. I was so hungry I legit inhaled that entire plate of beef. It was so delicious though. WHY DO I LOVE THE TASTE OF BURNT MEAT AHHHHH. I spilled 80% of my miso soup lol but in the end I finished every single thing in the span of literally 20 minutes lmao. They wanted dessert after so we went to snackshot and got their super expensive mahjong dessert. It’s a coconut red bean pudding with rice paper money. Very yum.
