Why FDH no need to go through a probation period !

What is your problem with Mat? Nothing embarrassing about his comment and it sure as hell isn't sexual harassment. I know Germans tend to lack a sense of humour but come on! Any why does it matter if your helper is pretty or not? All you seem to do is criticise her and blame her for your poor management. Did she forget to put your towel on your sun lounger or something?!

False! I have known quite a few German in HK and most of them have a great sense of humour, usually its dry, the kind I like, not to mention the fact that my wife is German, who cracks me up every now and then.

I grew up thinking that French Toast was buttered toast with sugar sprinkled on it. As a kid, that tastes wonderful. I don't think that I tried eggy bread until sometime in university.

Funnily, even though I grew up in a small town in India, I knew about French toast and how its made. Though the ones I have had here in HK, were so greasy I stopped bothering with them.

No bias there then lol. *joking*

I used to work for Deutsche Bank in London and New York. Yes, there are some funny Germans (including one of my closest friends) but the stereotype is that they lack a sense of humour...and usually there's a grain of truth in most stereotypes.

As for French toast, I'd never heard of it until I visited the US. I'm pretty sure that even now my family back in the UK have no idea what it is. I always thought it was more an American thing?

Just looked up the etymology of French Toast via Wikipedia. There's not much to suggest a French heritage at all.

I like how it's also called Gypsy Toast.

Hk version is

Two slices of Thick bread peanut butter in the middle dipped in batter then deep fried until golden then doused in syrup and butter.

Heart attack on a plate. But so good

I will have to try this some day. Any place in particular that makes a good one?

Most of the local places do it. Cafe de coral, Fairwood etc as part of the tea set. Usually not available till after 2.30 ish.


Try it at Lan Fong Yuen, 2 Gage Street, Central, tel +852 2850 8683.

That's different from the usual cha chaan teng thing, right? An inch thick piece of toast + condensed milk + some other stuff?

Thank you. By the way, what is it called? I'm guessing not French toast.
