南乳豬手飯
A roast meats restaurant, quite popular. Three or four couples of varied age, an elderly woman having wonton soup, young lady eating congee, and a business man having a loud conversation on his cell-phone.
And some other single diners.
Two couples were on a date.
What I had was something nobody in their right mind should order on a date. South milk pig hand rice. By which is understood braised pork knuckles with fermented beancurd sauce. Juicy fatty, gelatinous, delicious. And, because you need to suck and gnaw, not something a person you want to impress should ever see across the table.
Good thing I ate by myself.
Finger licking.
南乳 ('naam yü'): red fermented tofu.
豬手 ('chyü sau'): pig's knuckle.
飯 ('faan'): cooked rice.
