Chapter 150: Lan Kwai Fong

After tasting the tea, Meimei said: "There is a small scale tea warehouse upstairs, which is stored in Pu'er for more than 15 years, and the regular customers drink this kind of fine tea. ”

Curious, Johnson picked up the tea list, which was still printed on traditional mimeographed paper, and even toothpicks and chopsticks were wrapped in a special paper bag, with the address and phone number printed on the sleeve, which was equivalent to Lu Yu's business card.

In particular, the dim sum list changes every Monday, and some dim sum will appear according to the season. If you miss the week, you may have to wait a month or a season to reincarnate again.

Both of them were full of wine and food, and picked up a piece of Daliang apple leaf cake, because the seasonality of the raw material is the seasonal dim sum that is only available from May to August.

Fish maw, shrimp glue, chicken three ingredients stacked from bottom to top, steamed in the drawer for 10 minutes, until the chicken, shrimp glue steamed, poured with crab roe juice, steamed for another 10 seconds, one of the signature dim sum, crab roe cotton chicken.

Mr. Jin Yong likes to have dinner here, such as stewed apricot and white lung soup, stir-fried wings with coral grains, cloud leg pigeon slices, Fengcheng fried shrimp cakes, and ancient crispy glutinous rice chicken, which are all favorites of regular customers and are cooked in traditional ways. ”

"I've had a gourmet's visit and think it's just an ordinary dish, and it's not amazing. In my opinion, the rarity of Lu Yu's dishes lies in the four words mediocre!"

"Only forever simple, authentic, maintaining standards, real materials, and unchanged for a hundred years can become a classic. ”

"Especially like the old people who are over the age of sixteen, this inheritance is not only reflected in the furniture and decoration that have been used since the store was opened, but also in the employees who have been here for half their lives, the classic traditional handmade dim sum, and the old friends who have been drinking tea for decades......"

Johnson nodded in agreement, the time-honored brand is playing with the heritage, and an inconspicuous corner may hide an untold story.

As if remembering something, he said with some sadness: "When I think of Mr. Cha, I often say that I can't call Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine, and I undoubtedly agree with this." For Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine, I came here decades ago, and I first came into contact with Shanghai in Baole Lane, and later ate Tianxianglou, so I knew a little about Hangzhou cuisine. ”

"When I was a kid growing up in Nanyang, I barely said I could eat Malaysian, Indonesian and some Indian food. I have also lived in Thailand, and I have benefited a lot from knowing Teochew dialect, and I have tried my best to compare them in Thai restaurants in Kowloon City. The knowledge of Lao, Cambodian and Vietnamese cuisine is so-so. ”

So to sum up a theory: if you don't know the culture and living habits of a certain place, you can have a superficial understanding, but you won't know more than the natives, because they are the ones who grow from snacks to big ones. ”

"When writing about food, it should be written with ease and lightheartedness, preferably with a sense of humor. I don't like those who write the food scriptures with one board and one eye, and drive away all the sex in the food, they are too immoral, pull them out and shoot them!"

"The most impressive people are the Shunde and the French, they will keep telling you what is delicious, how to cook, how to taste and what it tastes, and it is fascinating to listen to, and I can't wait to be reincarnated in that place?"

"What is better than the French is that the Shunde people boast about themselves and do not look down on the dishes of other places. The French are different, as long as they talk about food and drink, their noses are raised higher and higher. I once told a French friend that the Tosgan region of Italy also has good wines. ”

The French friend raised an eyebrow and said arrogantly: Italy also has red wine?"

chatted until the evening, the old man was a little tired, and hurried home, meeting to get together often. Today, I returned with a full load, not only met idols for many years, but also learned a lot of experience, especially recommending a few good restaurants, which must be tried.

It's still early, the nightlife has just begun, head straight to the legendary Lan Kwai Fong to experience the mystical charm of a consumer paradise.

For Hong Kong Island, many impressions come from TVB, especially Lan Kwai Fong, which is reminiscent of the glittering wine and green lanes. Handsome guys and beauties focus on carnival to their heart's content. The tree-lined lanes on both sides are easily accessible, and you can sit by the window of the bar and get in touch with the nightlife of drunken fans.

Hop off at a nearby car park and walk to the nondescript L-shaped cobblestone path between Wyndham Street and D'Aguilar Street in Central, filled with western restaurants, nightclubs and bars.

The night is confusing, the traffic is busy, and this sloping alley in the midst of high-rise buildings is a place for lonely men and women in the city to find fun.

Many foreigners, many tourists, come all the way to experience the legendary Lan Kwai Fong. As you walk, most of the bars retain a European style.

Passing by an English pub called LADOLCEVITA97, the advertisement says that there will be free performances on Thursdays and Saturdays, including saxophone playing, western song singing, dancing and more.

At the door of the bar stood two bunny girls, smiling and handing out flyers, fluent in English, inviting visitors from all over the world.

A simple turn, more than fifty bars and restaurants, few Chinese signs. Dark-coloured dΓ©cor, simple bar, narrow hall, clean tableware, natural tables and chairs, and English signs with drinks and desserts written at the door at dusk......

The area is not large, it is normal to think about it, this is Central, the core of the CBD, every inch of land is gold, where elites from all walks of life gather, the competition is fierce, all the time in high pressure, after work need a venue to relieve pressure, Lan Kwai Fong has become the best place to vent fireworks.

Just after eight o'clock, many white-collar workers came out of high-rise buildings one after another, took off their suits, loosened their ties, took off their disguises, and came here from all directions with devilish steps......

I was a little surprised to pick up a flyer, a cocktail was only twenty or thirty, a glass of vodka with ice was 50, and the bar also provided peanuts, figs and other snacks for free.

Catch up with the promotion, a bottle of Carlsberg beer is only sold for 15 yuan at the lowest!

SC Johnson finally understood why business was booming, but he had heard that every time he ordered a drink, he had to pay for it and tip the waiter.

Soon the crowd was filled with people, and the ears were basically English and Cantonese, and the white-collar workers who were fighting in the workplace sat in front of the bar, spitting bitter water on each other, and the anxiety was temporarily relieved by a glass of beer.

There are more and more people, there are not enough chairs to sit on, and many foreigners sit directly on the side of the street, and there is no even need to pad paper on the ground. With a beer, it's easy and there is no shelf at all.

Since you come once, you can't stand on the street and go straight to the door of the most luxuriously decorated bar, Ce La Vi, it should be French?

Take the elevator to the top floor of the building, an expansive bar and restaurant with three floors. 360-degree surround view, the most amazing thing is the rooftop open-air bar garden center with a small jacuzzi?

The waiter introduced in Mandarin, not very fluent: "Ce La Vi is an abbreviation of the French C'est La Vie, which translates to this is life." ”

"We have a wide range of shades to choose from, with StormCooler being the bar's best-selling mixo, blended with Grey Goose vodka, passion fruit and raw licorice powder for a rich tropical touch......"

"Hong Kong Fog is a beautiful blend of vodka, apple juice and lemon juice for a refreshing and refreshing ......"

"There is also a variety of craft beers, you can go to the bar and choose your own......"

Just order a few glasses of features, SC Johnson looks around, Southeast Asian rainforest style design style, it is easy to release yourself in nature, the ceiling giant green chandelier, surrounded by a variety of tropical plants, wooden walls, wooden tables and chairs, in such a modern high-rise building back to the original, full of dramatic conflict, interesting.
