Granny's privates and some piggies!
Last weekend was Hong Kong Art Fair, similar to Frieze Art Fair.
The whole exhibition space was huuuuuuuuge, what always annoys me about these sorts of things is how big it is!
There is always just too much to have to take in for my liking.
The few pieces that I actually managed to take a photo of was " I want to know what infinity is" by Shen Shaomin.
This life size silica gel, electrical machinery is 78cm x 145cm x58cm.
This old lady is all exposed, sunbathing on a deck chair on a big mound of sea salt. Her tummy moves up and down making her look like she is breathing, I feel Shaomin really captures the bleakness of reaching that age.
At first it might seem he is trying to capture the serenity of being old but the composition of salt, the deck chair and the old lady creates a hostile and cold atmosphere.
His other work "I sleep on top of myself" are also machines, but instead of an old lady, there are baby animals hairless and lying on mounds of salt, some breath and some are still.
Stripping of the fur and feathers of these baby animals and putting them on a mound of salt can connote ideas about problems we are facing with our environment and our society today.
Shaomin really captures the vulnerability of these innocent baby animals, they are alone with no mother and striped of their outer layer that would protect them from the world.
Exhibition is still on at Osage Gallery check out their website:

But to something less dark and less meaningful is this cute pig sculpture by Richard Jackson.
"Big Pig" is made of Stainless steel and wood.
I WANT ONE!!!
I ALSO WANT THIS!!!
OHHHHHH MYYYYYYY is it not just sooooooooo cuuuuuuuuuuute!!!! hehehehehe
From England's Pennywell it's so cute i think I might die from the cuteness ahhhhhh!!!

Say hi to my new buddy!
My new buddy "Terrinzilla"
she was called Domitilla!
She was a former TMNT
She quit due to the differences she had with the other members! (Being a terrapin and not a turtle)
As you can tell she wasn't the center of attention, that isn't how she rolls! She looooves attention...
.jpg)
Don't mess with her...
TO BE CONTINUED!!!

Cuteness in the Kitchen
Bunapi Shimeji aka. White Beech or White Clamshell mushroom
Bunapi Shimeji are cute little white mushrooms from Japan which are found in East Asia.
These cuties taste rank when they are eaten raw, really bitter, once you cook them they turn into these slightly firm slightly nutty flavoured yumminess!
I sauteed mine with a little bit of butter on a low heat until golden brown and ate it with some scrambled eggs, smoked salmon and rye bread for breakfast.
I took of the lobsters clawcuffs and it grabbed the chopstick.
Whilst I was waiting for the big pot of water to boil, I decided to do lobster races and lobster fight.
The lobsters weren't in the mood to play.
I hope trying to make them race doesn't classify as animal cruelty!

Hanging out at my Godfathers hangout spot:
Ever since I can remember my godfather John and his buddies loves to go to The Foreign Correspondents Club in Hong Kong.
Seeing as I have been to this place so much with him, I felt that a blog post must be created for The FCC.
So first off The FCC isn't really a place to jam for the younger crowds, majority of the people in there are of the older generations.
Hehehe loads of big bellies everywhere,they probs eat there everyday for lunch, as well as din din on a regular basis. Oh and let's not forget all the booze!!
Mmmmm this Slow Cooked Pork Belly with Preserved Plum Sauce is a WINNER!! The slow cooking makes the pork belly so delicate and tender that the chewing process is almost nonexistent. Slow cooking also allows the pork to absorb as much of the sauce as possible making it very flavoursome.
I am not very keen with plum sauce, I think it was from when I was severely hung over once and had a dish with plum sauce that still haunts me to this day.
I love hog roast sandwich with apple sauce which is very similar in some way or another. So I just made sure not to think too deeply into my previous incident with the plum sauce and focus on my relationship with hog sandwiches.
The Deep Fried Soft Shell Crab with Salt and Chilli was Absolutely fantastic I tell you...
It was crunchy and spicy what a fab combo!
It worked well with the pork as it was two completely contrasting taste and texture sweet & tender, spicy & crunchy.
It really allowed me to leave with a satisfied tummy instead of being a glutton and eating when I am full just to satisfy my needs.
The Fried Rice with Salted Fish & Diced Chicken was not to greasy, that is sometimes the problem with fried rice.

Look how massive this pig is biggest recorded pig in the world shot by 11 year old in Alabama. They made around 500-700 pounds of sausages out of his meat.

Salted Fish is rich of sodium and calories, it isn't the best thing too eat if you have high blood pressure or nasopharnygeal cancer. Especially in chinese salted fish, it can cause mutations in bacteria.
However if you have low blood pressure it is almost good for you.

The FCC is quite expensive for me to go and eat there but luckily my Godfather loves going there hehehe yea free din din for me woop!!
I hope that in the future me and my buddies find a hang out spot as my Godfather and his buddies have!
