One of Dex's major goals for the trip was to eat sea food - preferably those we don't have back in Manila. Sai Kung came up a number of times as he consulted the internet, Lonely Planet, tourist guide books and locals. So we decided to check it out. Fortunately for us, HKPO's principal trumpet player Jonathan Clarke lived near the vicinity, and even invited us to their home by the hills.

After the lovely seafood lunch, we hiked to Jon's house in the hills. I thought he was joking when he pointed to the house from a distance. But the hike was enjoyable (it wasn't steep), and the air was cool. We hung out there till evening, and became a fan of Rose's grilled chicken wings. They were really delicious! Too bad I have no more photos from there, because Jacky wasn't able to go with us.
