No hot water in kitchen

[bookblogger]

Also in most Asian homes there is usually a large water kettle or dispenser (with the push down top) plugged in and kept constantly replenished as this is used for drinking water (and tea of course). So there is always hot water on hand to pour into the sink to rinse or wash dished.

That makes for terrible tea though. Tea should always be made with freshly drawn water, not that endlessly reboiled stuff.

(I'm just thinking that 8 pages isn't enough to do justice to this subject, so this may prove a worthy diversion).

You are heading towards the kettle subject which could do with more discussion imho

And the drinkability of HK tap water.

Seatbelts on folks, a perfect storm is approaching!

Update: Our village house on Lamma has hot water in the kitchen. Take that peasants!

Now we just have to get to grips with this slow and limited water heating system.

Our Village house in Da Jungles of Clear Water bay also has hot water in the kitchen

we also suffer the slow and limited water heating system. Showers in winter have to be taken AFAFP (As Fast As Feckin Possible)

my parents house in a remote like hell village has hot water in kitchen

also a strange advantage, as it's remote village, the cold water supply/pipes appear to laid either close to the ground surface, or exposed pipes for miles from the distributing pumps, thus, during summer, very warm water from cold water taps for free

great for showers

I think the problem is that the village house electricity's mcb has low amps ( cheap mcb) thus, not enough current for instant electric shower

best way is to get electrician to install an automatic timer to turn on the boiler around your family lifestyle ( best electronic digital one with 7 day calendar) for winter for minimal hassle, thus, pre heat the boiler before you and your family arrives home

I'll just go for the AFAFP method as suggested by wtb. I get the ferry from next to IFC anyway and have splashed out on gym membership at Pure IFC.

So if you see someone stumble into Pure one morning in pyjamas, smelling like last night's beer, muttering something about hot water, that's me

How's that any different just because you've moved to a village house, JJ?? ;-)
