Gung Hay Fat Choy (Happy Chinese New Year!)

In which Luke, Trang, Lauch and I eat at Mr Kong's in Chinatown. (Where else?) In which we eat steamed sea bass, vegetables in black bean sauce, crispy bean curd and sauteed dragon whiskers in garlic sauce. And chinese green tea. And watch smoking, crackling fireworks during broad daylight. Clouds of gunpowder smoke fills Leicester Square and little red bits of firecracker drift down and cover our heads like red dandruff.
