Mummy found these pictures in her old laptop. You were just over a year old when this was taken at Peak Lookout. You know it better as your Favorite Regular Saturday Brunch Restaurant because JD also gets to join us.
The restaurant owner is a dog person with a giant bulldog who sits in air-conditioned comfort in his office during summer (the dog, not the owner). Not infrequently this place gets booked up for weddings – often when the bride and groom want their dogs in attendance.
Your parents like coming here because:
When we leave baby things here, the staff returns everything in a labeled zip-lock bag the next time they see us.It’s very heartwarming to see all the spoilt dogs – some of them Hong Kong Dog Rescue mutts – coming for brunch. Regulars who have been coming here for years like us often know each other by their dogs’ names. Only.
Mummy sees this uncle jogging along the path behind the restaurant occasionally and other colleagues of his including an auntie named Michelle (Yeoh) also frequent this restaurant.
This is one of the few times we took a picture though, because whenever these uncles and aunties dine here, it is significantly devoid of paparazzi, despite Hong Kong’s aggressive gossip mag culture. Mummy didn’t want us to have to look for another Favorite Regular Saturday Brunch Restaurant because we got turned out of this one.
But if you have to take a photo, Mummy recommends approaching uncles and aunties in English instead of Cantonese, so they know you are foreign and not likely to be undercover paparazzi. They seem to be more flattered at having foreign fans. Your Mummy and Daddy have never had a problem going up to them when we speak in English.
Oh, btw this nice uncle’s name is Tony Leung (above).
This uncle’s name is Dai Yu. He has a big, very well-kept Old English Sheepdog with one blue and one brown eye, just like JD. The dog’s name is Dai Lo (Big Guy). This uncle loves him very much and keeps going Dai Loooooooo as they fetch, but Dai Lo doesn’t seem to know that’s his name. Or maybe he doesn’t like to fetch.
Photo Op for JD
Maybe in another 20 years someone you don’t know will come up to you for a photo. But only if you want to.
And just as long as you don’t get distracted by something shiny.
