As the name suggest, this is a place for oysters, and they have very nice oysters from all over the world! At this moment (Feb), it is the season for oysters from France, so we had Belon 000 ($68), something from Ireland, Special de France etc.
Apart from oysters, we had 2 soups and seafood angel hair that were also tasty. Situated at Aberdeen Street, can be a little bit hard to find if you don't know the area. Ask for direction.

God Delusion
The God Delusion (buy from Amazon) by Richard Dawkins
A very deep and comprehensive book that talks about why there is no God, not an easy book to read. "God delusion" covers a very wide angle, "Respects that religion doesn't deserve", "God Hypothesis", Why human is receptive to the idea of religion and how religion arised as a result, the inconsistency in scriptures people simply choose to ignore, the alternatives to God that can still explain the world, the human moral standard with or without God, Science Vs Religion. Dawkins is a firm believer in Evolution/Darwinian world.
I have enjoyed reading this book very much, it will help you to decide one way or the other.

This movie is about mathematics, I quite like this nice movie about a mathematics professor who had an accident and he cannot remember anything longer than 80 minutes. His way of communicating with people is always related to mathematics. The story starts when the professor is having a new maid helping his house work. The new maid has a 10-year old son, and the professor called the boy "Square root" because it is a nice "operator" that is genorous and kind to all numbers. The three of them spend a lot of time together even though the professor will always repeat himself because he cannot remember new things. The kid learned a lot from the professor and when he grows up and become a mathematics teacher himself, he tells his student about the story of the professor and how he learned about perfect numbers (like 6, 28), prime numbers (like 2,3, 5, 7), natural number (e), imaginery number (i) and pi etc. What I really like is the friendly couple numbers (220 and 284), these are called amicable numbers, such a nice story.
I would recommend this nice little story to anyone who was once or still is smitten by mathematics. I certainly enjoyed this movie.
