The weather was not kind to us on the birthday

The giant Buddha image briefly came into view for a photograph
The "Spicy Crab under the Bridge" restaurant seats about a dozen and
is underneath a flyover in the former red light district of Wanchai on Hong Kong Island
We bought a screwtop bottle of red wine in a convenience store
and ordered a big crab from the very friendly and helpful proprietor
Our live crab / It's a bit draughty here, Sheila
A few minutes later the chilli crab is served / How about that for a crab claw!
And this one! / All that remains is the empty shell and a pile of crispy garlic, ginger, chilli & green onions
Back at the hotel Sheila had ordered a surprise bottle of bubbly for a nightcap
