Evil Shrimp

Last night featured a trip to a Seafood restaurant near Temple Street in Jordon (an area in Kowloon, the part of Hong Kong attached to mainland China). Although the meal featured a vast array of seafoods, the most interesting critter on the menu is the Mantis Shrimp. This creature looks like a cross breed between a shrimp, a lobster, a praying mantis, and a demon.


Despite this somewhat horrific appearance, they taste pretty much just like lobster.

After the dinner some of the crew migrated to a place called Ned Kelly's for some Jazz and drinks. We ended up getting a few pitchers of Blackthorne cider, which is a quite dry cider, but still palatable. There was a small jazz group playing there, and the sax player was decent but the singer not so much. Still, we danced in the extremely small aisles, to the seeming delight of the band and the other patrons.

I guess that this blog is probably also going to become a food blog, as food is also one of my great loves in this world: music, dance, food.
