Feel so proud of Ken's restaurant's owner! Not many Chinese restaurants are willing to give up such profit making opportunity! Just for that, I will be giving them more of my business!

Parents, even they support your decision not to eat shark fins, they will have to face their family friends/guests' questioning and possibily be the talk for many years to come! So i totally understand for most traditional chinese families how hard it is to give up this tradition....

You're right! Their food are only so-so.
I don't even recall they have shark fins in the menu. Maybe they did but I didn't notice. If they don't sell a lot of it, this may even but just a publicity for them. However, I hope this will trigger others to do the same. Nontheless, it's a good start.

Sorry, out of topic:
I just want to make it clear that I believe in Choices. Encouragment is prefered over Enforcement. I don't eat lamb but I am not against others who do. So I hope people who prefer not to eat fins won't make others feel inadequet.

It's ok. Discussions can get very heated. Everyone has their own viewpoints and opinions. Arguments happen when people try to be convincing while the other party doesn't welcome it. I leave without comments sometimes too, especially religious related topics.

I consulted my Chinese Dr. about this. He said they are good for women in promoting female hormone.

Actually, I don't eat bird's nest regardless of its benefit.
Do they even taste good? I find it tasteless. Maybe I should try some of fibbi's!
