Friends got together on this day in Hong Kong and London to celebrate Derek's birthday.

In Hong Kong, family and friends met at the Tung Po Restaurant. This restaurant is Dai Pong Dong styled, located above the Java Road Wet Market in North Point, featured plastic stools and rice bowls instead of beer glasses and was enjoyed by (L to R in the photo) Jenny McCombie, Mark Evans, Ali Reid, Kevin Francis, Andrew Gerrard, Chloe Douglass, Kathy Sung, Rick Gangwani, Diana Francis and Matt Howcroft. Chloe provided the snapshot.

In London, friends met at Jon Coham's flat and Jon remarked it was a much-needed evening of braised pork, rice and wine in honour of Derek's birthday. The gathering included Tim Prince, Jon and mum Jasmin Coham, Freya and Leila Moran, Emma Dixon, Tim and Hannah.
