I was watching DigitalRev TV again and a recent video reminded me that I have not actually written an entry on a very traditional Hong Kong activity, called "Beating the Petty Person". I remember that I have taught this in some lessons and I thought I have written about it.
Anyway, what is "beating the petty person"? It is a term coined by TIME journalist Ling Woo Liu back in 2009 when she wrote one of the articles for The Best of Asia 2009.

Other than visiting the granny-beaters, there are some nice mini-restaurants on that road, especially the tofu shop, Yan Wo Dou Bun Chong, they do amazingly smooth Tofu Fa!
