A mansion frequented by villagers in sharing food
Ng Chin Hung’s family was wealthy by village standards and a lot of people followed by the side of his policeman father. For this reason, Ng Chin Hung grew up in a home that was effectively a mansion with a seemingly never-ending stream of visitors! Every time his mother cooked, she cooked huge portions of food with fish and chicken, some of which she delivered to her own mother in Fuk Lo Tsun Road. At mealtimes, many neighbours came around to eat at a table that could easily seat over 10 people. Ng Chin Hung’s mother would only accept a nominal payment for her efforts and did not really care if visitors paid nothing at all! Sometimes, when Ng Chin Hung saw that his neighbours were tucking into particularly delicious dishes, he would go in, pick some food and leave. At the end of the day, not too many villagers minded this as such practices were a way of life within the walls of the village.
