We had this super funny waiter at Capitan Torres who kept everyone super amused, all night. He immediately identified me as the 'Professor' as I was glaringly out of place. Later on in the evening, after litres of house red, we were all relaxed as he became better & better. When he heard we are classmates at cooking school, he brought out a plate with 4 tiny whitebaits on it, surrounded by lines of ketchup & lemon wedges ' ... so what do you think of my award winning Cordon Bleu presentation'? Those $ sign spectacles were funny, I was asked to put them on, with a classic 'Asian pose' ie the V-sign. The waiter is right behind me, calls me 'Canton' when he found out I am from Hong Kong. A migrant from Portugal he should be in show biz as he is proficient in multi-European languages. He is very entertaining, very gifted in that way, and very good at it. I asked for another glass ' ... that will be 50 Euros, Professor' and as I leave, ' ... thank you for flying Cathay Pacific Canton, did you enjoy our inflight yum-cha ...' I was in tears, it was such a wonderful night out. I needed the decompression!
