Another day in the life of the world's greatest food tourist - Calvin!
He went out the other day to visit an English-speaking computer guru - a rare thing here, and found a restaurant offering fried oysters for US$5.00 per kilo, so he had a kilo for his lunch.  This came to 11 oysters.
Later, that evening, we went out to supper and chose a Vietnamese/Japanese restaurant which specialises in Duck, and employs the mentally and physically disabled.  I had a delightful duck salad, but then I am very cautious with my stomach and Calvin had shrimp sushi.  

But on the menu was a drink he had never heard of, so he had to have that.   It was a kind of liquor/fortified wine made from sweet potato and looked like vodka.   Apparently, very pleasant.  While I  ordered Jasmine tea and a Moringa cookie (a kind of green biscuit flavoured with Moringa leaves), whatever they are, Calvin had a rum coffee and a plate of roasted lotus seeds.

So, you see, the adventure continues, even if we do not always understand where it takes us.
