Seafood Islands Restaurant

One of the unique adventures we took in October was to go with one of the Chinese Area Finance staff, Jason Lam, and his 14-year old daughter, Cynthia, to the Seafood Islands Restaurant in Eastern Kowloon. The Restaurant is locate on the bay. You select the live seafood you want to eat, and the cooks prepare your meal. We went by bus for about 40 minutes. All 4 missionary couples from the 8th floor went, so we had a group of 10. The live seafood were in tanks that we could look into for the selection. It was an interesting activity. We even took some pictures of the men holding a large lobster. The restaurant had open sides and we enjoyed visiting and eating our "catch". I can't tell you what everything was that we ate, but most of it was very good.


Sister Smith, Elder and Sister Gibbons(hidden) and Elder and Sister Bench board the bus for our journey.

The plain sign tells us we are there. It was not a fancy place, but really a seaside atmosphere.

It was dark by the time we arrive. The main dining area was open on the sides. They did have an upstairs inner room reserved for us, but we opted for more air. It is still prety warm in the evenings.

We were on the bay a witnessed by the boats in the water that could be seen from the windows of the restaurant.

Which one would taste the best?

Quite an assortment of shell fish and mussels.

Time to vote? Jason finally made most of the decisions, and we had a balanced fish dinner.
(with rice of course)

Into the bucket with those selected.

This lobster wasn't ready to be boiled, but we selected it anyway.

An assortment of seafood put together in a special sauce.

The shrimp were boiled. The eyes were still in the head. I think I prefer it when the heads are removed before we get them at the table

One large fish fed us all.

We appreciated the kindness of Jason in giving us this experience.
