This week has been full of food, including free food from Monday 27th to Wednesday 29th March. Of course I'm overjoyed! 本週美食連場，星期一至三（3月27至29日）更是公費吃喝，我很久沒這樣享受過！ My department organised a short course this week, attended by 12 people from outside institutions and the novices to the department. The organisers asked some of us in the department to join the course dinner on Monday and Wednesday, in the name of 'promoting communication with the participants'. Of course, everyone knew there was another motive! So we had dinner at a Bavarian restaurant (see picture). On the first day, I was adventurous enough to order a beef breast fillet cooked in a special soup, only to be stung by the pungency of the soup! As I wasn't prepared for the weird taste, others at the table had fun looking at how I suffered every time I gulped down the soup. I only found out later that the soup was cooked with a horseradish that was responsible for the pungent wasabi-like taste. Lesson learnt ... T
