Chapter 519: Robertson Street
There's plenty to do in Vancouver, whether it's hopping on a sightseeing tram or double-decker bus that you can hop on and off at any time, biking the city centre or experiencing the wilderness. Enjoying the scenery along the seawall, beach or forest trail is a good option. As for hiking in the mountains, playing golf is also a very high-quality enjoyment.
If you sign up for a tour group to travel to Vancouver, the tour guide will definitely lead the tourists to learn about the rainforest ecology, take a jeep or 4WD to explore the remote areas, watch different species of birds in bird sanctuaries or parks, and taste the world-famous British Columbia table wine; Shop at one of the night markets in Chinatown or Richmond for specialty snacks.
If you're willing to add a little extra money to an Aboriginal tour, you'll be blessed to learn about Aboriginal traditions and culture, learn to cook creative West Coast cuisine in a cooking class, relax your mind and body with a spa experience, visit museums and art galleries, and finally take a stroll around Chinatown in the food world to experience Chinese culture that you didn't even know about.
Vancouver's Chinatown is one of the three largest Chinatown districts in North America. The main attraction of the Chinatown is its Chinese culture and the large number of department stores and restaurants. It is said that from mid-May to mid-September every year, the night market in the Tangren District is open until half past eleven o'clock every day, and the Sun Yat-sen Garden Market in the district is quiet, and it is worth visiting.
"Uncle! Where are you taking me? ”
The direction in which the two are traveling, although it is the Vancouver area, is obviously far from the bustle and bustle of Chinatown, and the pedestrians around them are all very well-dressed, obviously high-end personnel who flow in the upper class, and are very different from the people who will appear in the flow of Chinatown.
Sikong Yao looked up again, and it was a colonnade and triangular roof with a main entrance comparable to the ancient Roman architectural style, and the outer walls were all huge stone walls, and the lintels were decorated with detailed carvings. The ceiling, dome, carvings and other exquisite patterns of the court.
Outside the gate of the building, Sikong Yao is also where he is now, and the surroundings are full of live painting art performances, Sikong Yao suddenly has an idea in his heart. It's clearly an art museum.
The Vancouver Art Gallery is one of the most representative old buildings in Vancouver, and as one of Canada's most vibrant and vibrant cities, the Vancouver Art Gallery reflects the city's boundless creativity and bold imagination. Located in the heart of the city, the gallery serves as a hub for art lovers to see the work of some of the most celebrated contemporary artists as well as Vancouver's internationally renowned artists.
But this is meaningless to Sikong Yao!
Although in the afternoon leisure time to enjoy the influence of art. Then you can enjoy a cup of black tea in the afternoon tea restaurant built into the art museum, and the whole person will seem to be sublimated, but now is not the afternoon, there is no afternoon tea restaurant, there is no fragrant black tea, and there are no mouth-watering doughnuts here!
It is not uncommon for Sikong Yao to run to the art museum in the beautiful morning after breakfast to admire the beautiful landscapes depicted by Douglas and the works of Colombian national culture expressed in the paintings of those villages.
Sikong Yao roared angrily: "Uncle, don't tell me that your old lover sells doughnuts in the afternoon tea restaurant of this art museum!" ”
Roman Monet laughed and said, "That's actually not bad." ”
"What a joke, do you think you're eating the doughnut and touching the David sculpture with your sticky hands? Not fun at all! Sikong Yao rolled her eyes, the desserts sold in such a place could not reflect the real enjoyment that the dessert itself could bring to people.
When people are satisfied with the influence of art and culture, the marginal benefits that desserts can give to people will be reduced, but any aspiring pastry chef will not be willing to open his restaurant in an art museum.
Romain Monet laughed: "I didn't say what we were looking for was here, and it wasn't my old lover." ”
Roman Monet was the first to take the lead. took Sikong Yao around and walked forward for a distance, and the surrounding atmosphere suddenly changed again, banning the quiet and serene nature was extremely lively and noisy. I didn't expect Robertson Street behind the Vancouver Art Gallery to be a refreshing shopping street!
Robertson Street stretches for half a mile and is lined with shops selling everything from Chanel's fashion to popular denim ice cream.
There are also several top-notch restaurants on the street, such as Calypso, Brazilian Grille, Café Medicion and Mahoney. Boutique in Gastown: From a postcard shop to Ralph? The Loren fashion store is doing very well. In the evening, whether you dine at a Mediterranean or Asian or local seafood restaurant, it is full of romance.
Water Street Cafe, Mickey Mouse Shop, and Ravantana are all good choices, and the noise of the shopping street contrasts with the silence of the art museum, which has to be said to be a kind of art, a strong contrast between stillness and movement.
Sikong Yao was speechless in surprise, and Roman Monet laughed and said: "Unexpectedly, this is the most lively and prosperous place in the whole of Vancouver, and it is much more famous than Chinatown." ”
Behind the Vancouver Art Gallery, this shopping street is home to some of the world's hottest spots, such as Universal Hollywood and the Hard Rock Cafe.
The new street is also a good place for old foodies, and there are many restaurants of all kinds of flavors and grades.
One of the Geely Chinese restaurants is often so crowded that guests even have to book three days in advance, which means that if you want to travel here, you have to make an international call in your home country to make a reservation!
Another Royal Seafood Chinese restaurant is also famous in the area, especially salmon, which should not be missed by visitors to Vancouver, and their French pan-fried salmon mixed with lettuce salad vinaigrette and mushroom salad is definitely a rare delicacy in the world.
Many famous hotels that Sikong Yao knows or doesn't know have hit this commercial street, Four Seasons, Shangri-La, Hyatt and Ladison, and so on.
The Vancouver Hotel is obsessed with the old-fashioned atmosphere, which makes Sikong Yao a little intoxicated, and Sikong Yao is even thinking that after going back, he will have to let Sikong Lu quickly open a branch of Minghe Restaurant here.
It's a festive place where fashionably dressed ladies compete for the season's hottest clothing styles, arm-linked couples and tourists busy shopping or special gifts. People with shopping bags head to the roadside coffee shops, restaurants or nightclubs to relax, adding to the lively atmosphere of Robertson Street, which is full of heart-pounding beauty day and night, all year round.
As a commercial street, food is absolutely indispensable, and the stalls of various special snacks, Sikong Yao all stopped and watched one by one, and couldn't wait to taste them all.
Roman Monet said a little proudly: "How? The chef who runs a restaurant in an art museum will drop the price, so it's okay here, right? ”
Just when Roman Monet was a little proud, Sikong Yao had already run away without a trace, and when he turned around, Sikong Yao had already come back with two strings of potato tarts!
Potato tart is a kind of delicacy originating from South Africa, which has recently become popular in Taiwan, which is a high-calorie food that is sold in a deep-fried shape by using a whole potato and cut into spiral slices by a special machine, treated with a treatment agent, and then pulled and unfolded by a bamboo skewer to reach a length of 30 cm. Because of the cute and beautiful appearance, it is loved by young people, Sikong Yao naturally can't resist its temptation, you know, here in the fried potato tower for sale, there are green tea, garlic, cumin, mushrooms, green onion roast, cinnamon, curry, fresh shrimp, seafood, barbecue, bonito, ginger, sand tea, coconut milk, seaweed, rock salt, sweet plum, five spices, pepper salt, lemongrass, cheese, tomatoes, spicy, comprehensive, yellow mustard, black pepper, kung pao chicken, cream corn, chocolate, vanilla milk, chives, sand rice and other dozens of flavor seasonings.
When you bite into it, the fried golden and crispy potato chips will not give people a greasy feeling, nor will they make people feel dry, and you don't even need to care if it is added with a lot of bulking agents or preservatives, which is simply the best choice for obese people to satisfy their cravings!
The strange shape of the potato tart, the crisp and tender fragrance, the unique taste, the long aftertaste, the distinctive and extreme taste of the rivers and lakes, the novel and fashionable modeling creativity, the unconventional way of eating besieged the urban streets, captured the fashion elite, arrested men, women and children, and became the unique landscape of the streets of Robertson Street.
At first glance, there are no fewer people with potato tarts in their hands than there are people with ice cream!
Sikong Yao bought Romain Monet a cream and vanilla flavor, she guessed that Romain Monet, a Frenchman, would like this combination, and sure enough, although Romain Monet felt that he was a little old and wanted to control the consumption of this fried food, but the taste and the unique charm of the potato tower made him irresistible.
After Romain Monet took the potato tart, he criticized and said: "Don't buy it indiscriminately, you won't be able to eat Michelin-starred doughnuts if you eat too much!" ”
Having said that, Roman Monet himself had already eaten up the potato tower in a blink of an eye, faster than Sikong Yao.
And Sikong Yao obviously didn't listen to Roman Monet's words, and even she didn't hear them at all, she just came back and threw the potato tower to Roman Monet, and then she had already entered the next round of sweeping. (To be continued.) )
