长洲不算长 - Part 1

We expected the weather to be cooler in Cheung Chau compared to Kowloon. Really, it is a fishing village and an island. Without the shelter of tall buildings, it was really cooling on the first night @ the island. It was also raining when we went for dinner and many shops had to close early due to the change in weather. But, definitely no "typhoon", not like Taiwan in 2008 Xp.

Seafood @ Cheung Chau (Opp cake shop)
We searched around looking for hot claypot to warm ourselves and we decided to try those stalls with more people. More people likely to imply better food :P. We were allocated a BIG ROUND table - other tables were full with big big grp. I recalled there was an elderly ah ma seated in the table besides us - asking and reminding the young ones to study hard and work in civil service. Hmmm....could not rem when I last heard such advice in cantonese liao...long long time ago.
Dear dear likes to eat "shh shh prawns" so we ordered a plate. I thought they would come in big ones so I asked an innocent qn how many would we be expecting. No wonder the waiter didnt say much as we were served with smaller versions one. Ouch, quite hard to peel but at least we still managed to finish the "shh shh prawns" :P.  At least, the place kept us warm during the rainy period.
We wanted to order claypot toufu but dunno why we ordered the wrong ones. We got toufu soup with other ingredients - not bad though for the cold weather. I rem the last round when we were in Cheung Chau - we didnt try many of the food. So, this time round, we, or at least me, wanted to have a feast! Hee.
I am not a good fish eater - not a born Garfield. So, could not really feast on fish :P. I like to peel and de-shell for dear, so that she could eat it without using her hands. However, she is always much skilful than me. In fact, her family or my family-in-laws are all good sea food eaters, I am no match for them. So, rather than being a "hindrance", I will wait patiently to be served instead :P. No choice, cos not a Garfield lah.
