Monks go on alms round at 7.
Lay people bring food everyday around 730a.
After the monks return, there is a chanting session led by chief abbot lovingly called Leung Phor, (pronounced long paw meaning big father), by everyone.
After the chanting, monks start eating. Thereafter the lay people start eating. Quite unlike the highly courteous and polite Thai people, food vanishes within minutes! I quickly learnt to fill my plate with enough food for the day knowing there won't be any left for second helpings. I also fill my food box with food for the evening meal since I am on medication.
