Dinner at Mr. Wong's; Opening beers with chopsticks
Yesterday was a national holiday in Hong Kong, so we decided to go out on Tuesday night. We went to a place known as Mr. Wong's (that's not the name of the restaurant, just the name of the owner). It's a pretty sweet place where you can eat and drink as much as you like for 50 HKD. There were some really nice French people who offered to take photos of our group, so we said yes. Unfortunately, they were so drunk that they couldn't hold the camera steady, and didn't notice the photos were blurred... Anyway, here's the best of the lot:
One of the nice tricks Mr. Wong does is opening beers with chopsticks: He holds the chopstick almost vertically with the top right under the bottle cap and then hits it upwards with the palm of his other hand. Obviously, we spent a lot of time learning how to do this: when you do it right there's a very satisfying pop and the cap flies into the air. When you do it wrong, the cap stays on and you have just hammered your palm into what is basically a blunt needle... Needless to say, some people were in a great deal of pain by the time we left.
