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.
Way to go Calvin! Roasted lotus sees sound delicious...can't wait to try them and Moringa cookies when we come to visit. e
