Lobster

While in San Diego, I was fortunate enough to dine with the man who used to have a moustache. Alas, it was a small gathering at a brilliant seafood restaurant, arranged by a certain third-party. We were there together with a few other colleagues from Hong Kong.

The teacher and his malicious student were sitting at the opposite side of a long narrow table. Inevitably we ended up having some causal talk. My previous mentor was exceptionally elated; he was just too eager to share his wisdom with the others at the table.

• How to choose some expensive and exotic dish that does not appear on the restaurant's menu ?
• Why order a 3-pound-plus lobster (after a seafood platter and some heavy clam chowder) ?
• How to attend a meeting only if the dinner is held at a Michelin 3-star restaurant ?

Oh, did I say share, or demonstrate ?
