Bui O Primary School fair

I'm a bit behind the times. I didn't find out about the fair until yesterday but thank goodness for the Mui Wo to Tai O Families Facebook page.

 

Still, I didn't miss it and that's the main thing. There were flea market, games, books and food stalls. And a bouncy castle. No prizes for guessing which ones I gravitated to.

Gordon from Bombay Cafe has given up his restaurant and is now concentrating on selling really lovely accessories from India.

Typhoon benefit events in Mui Wo

Please go and support. It's on this Thursday at Bahce.

Tap Tap in Pui O is also holding a charity Quiz Night on Thursday at 8.30pm. The table charge of HK$200 and 20 percent of the takings from the night will be donated to the Red Cross for relief efforts.

Curry in a hurry

My friend kept raving about the curry at Lantau Taste so I dragged Buffalo Wilbur there over the weekend to try it out. He had the chicken curry.

I had the beef brisket curry.

Yes, I know. You can't tell the difference. I'm sure they use the same base, just ringing in the changes by adding the different meats.

The verdict? It was okay, like a cross between Japanese and Southeast Asian curry. I liked it but Buffalo Wilbur says he will stick to their roasted meats. It was good value, though: HK$43 for curry, rice, drink and soup.

Lantau 70km run

I like having Lantau Base Camp in Mui Wo. Jeremy organises lots of macho trail runs starting from Mui Wo that makes me feel fit just by virtue of living at the starting point.

 

From LBC's events website: The Salomon LT 70 race offers both relay and solo options. The LT 70 is a semi-self sufficient race in that there will only be three checkpoints (or relay exchanges for relay runners).  The race takes place over extremely varied terrain, from rough, steep mountainous singletrack to flat concrete footpaths and covers the whole 70km (3300 D+) of the Lantau Trail.  The CPs will be fully stocked with food and liquids and are spread evenly at Ngong Ping, Tai O and Shui Hau. The Lantau Trail race LT70 will begin on Saturday, November 9th 2013 at 9am in Mui Wo.

Love seeing Mui Wo come alive!

 If only this could be a monthly flea market.

All together now...

MOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

THE flea market to go to

A scorcher of an October day and a record number of stalls at the flea market.

Wish I had bought Kathy's umbrella.

With so many people here, I wonder how the other two events in Mui Wo that day -- the kai to consultation meeting and the farmer's market -- went?
