More MidAutumn

This year was kind of cool for me...as my birthday was during the MidAutumn festival...always considered auspicious by the Chinese.  Jason was in charge of the planning for my surprise........he of course knows I like good food!!  So he surprised me this year with Korean Food.  He picked Han Il Kwan on Balboa and 18th Ave.  I had always wondered if it was any good as I drive by it all the time....and I see lots of Korean Tour groups eating there.

Han Il Kwan was fabulous......lots of condiments...all you can eat and great food!

Unfortunately not everyone could come, but those that did had a great time.!!

This turned out to be my favorite.....slow cooked beef..reminds me of Chinese Beef Stew.....really tasty!

BBQ Chicken....great!

Spicy pork......excellent...just a bit hot to the taste.

Beef kal-bi always good. These were great appetizers.

The egg custard was very good.....reminiscent of Chinese steam eggs.

Bi bim bop....in a stone bowl....heated until the rice burns on the bottom to make it crispy.....this was excellent the best I have ever had!

Thanks to Jason and all the students..I had a great time!!

Just so many things happen during this time, got to also hang out with Grandmaster Chen Xiaowang from Chen Village...he is one of the Four Buddhas of Chen Village......when i I was younger ...he and I travelled across the country teaching Chen Taiji.  He would sit up with me every night and make me practice the Chen Taiji form 10 times before going to sleep.  I got really good really fast.......in his youth he would practice his form a minimum of 15 times a day.....try that to develop your Kung-fu!!  Grandmaster Chen emphasizes practicing the chan-su gung and developing your internal jing.

Grandmaster Chen Xiaowang had just completed teaching a seminar and taking in new disciples to carry on his style.  My good friend Sifu Liu Yi and Sifu Anthony Wong were accepted as his disciples.  Congrats to you guys1   Sifu Ken Chung brought the Wu Yi Liang...to celebrate........5 grain firewater......about 95 proof!!

Anyways, there was a lot of celebrating..!!..Next time Toronto and the Worlds!! Until then cya!
