Dear Fellow DBS boys,
 
Upon learning the news, I managed to make a quick visit to Toronto this weekend and joined my classmates (as shown from left to right: Daniel, Joseph, Manson, William, me and David) in attending the service at R. S. Kane at 6150 Yonge Streeton Sunday afternoon.  We met with Jimmy Farrington (he is a DBS boy but a good 10 classes or so behind us…

Image

William called and spoke with Jimmy a few times before Sunday), his mother and sister and several other old boys (Eugene Wilson and Clive of ’81, several really "senior” boys from class of ’54  to ’70 and in between).  I noted that there were wreaths from our class, class of 1981, and TWO identical wreaths from class of 1975.  There were some of the more recent pictures of Mr. Farrington posted at the funeral home.  His two toddler grandchildren were also there.  Apparently they family took it well and remained in decent spirit.
 
We took our picture (attached) as we left the building.  It was one of those strange moments we did not know whether to smile for the camera or not. Allow me to thank William for putting in his time and effort in organizing for our appearance, and spent more than a full day taking good care of me.
 
Happy New Year and

Best regards,

Peter Yam ‘ 78

Class 78 Gathering 08

Hanif Barma was in town during the holiday season to celebrate his parent’s 60th wedding anniversary. Classmates were notified for a dinner gathering at Portland Café, owned by a couple of DBS boys, our classmate Casam Li being one of the owners.

6 classmates signed up for the dinner with Hanif but we ended up with 12. another 2, Michael Pan, math professor in Missouri and Normal Lo, both not in photo, also showed up for a chat.

2008 is the 30th Anniversary for the Class of 1978. Planning for a reunion towards the end of the year is under discussion. Members of Class 1978 who have not signed onto our yahoo group: DBS1978@yahoogroups.com please do so to get re-connected.
Cheers,
Stanley Fong (78)

Portland Cafe soft opened 10/6 and grand opened 10/29. Managed and co-owned by Albert Cheung '83 and Casam Li '78. The Portland Cafe is not your everyday local 'cha tsan teng', aside from local and western breakfast, lunch is a good mix of perfectly balanced dishes such as seafood and lobster e-noodles, hainan chicken rice, 牛坑腩飯and daily sets. Stir-fried crabs with shrimp roe, claypot fish blubber with sea turtle and seafood hotpot with premium Australian AA sliced beef is enough to make anyone's mouth water. 



Portland Cafe
  


For the burger crowd, Portland Cafe serves up freshly minced premium Australian AA beef patties to delight the "M" buffs. No turning back after this burger. Then there is also the famous pork chop burger for non-beefers.
The basics such as fried rice, stir-fried beef rice noodles have all been re-engineered. The fried rice dishes uses freshly steamed rice then wok fried to perfection where each grain of rice has the correct amount of suppleness but yet not clumping together, a recipe only the most expensive restaurants in Hong Kong manages to produce consistently. The extreme stir-fried beef rice noodles dons premium Australian beef fingers, un-marinated to hold the beef’s juicy texture and taste, absolutely a must do.
Of note is that this restaurant uses Sea Salt in their cooking and NO MSG. Ever tried a plate of stir-fried instant noodles with meat and vegetable combination of your choice? Al dente?

75-77 Tung Choi Street,
