Re-discover Hong Kong

有一些Travel blog,讓旅遊人士記下見聞。

手痕地在搜尋一欄鍵入"Hong Kong",看看外國人眼中的香港。

一如所料,文中重點內容都是:香港巨型密集建築物林立;維港景色優美;交通方便之餘還有一條超豪半山扶手電梯;到處人口密集商場五步一個;四十層樓的建築物都是用竹搭棚......不過,在這個框架之內,他們卻看到一個很不一樣的香港。

美食天堂
"Dinner that night was pretty interesting, I thought i'd be safe by trying to order Prawn Toast and fried rice but there was a language barrier and I ended up with Prawn balls in a soup with some interesting veggies and the rice was no where in sight, however it seemed prudent not to complain as the table next to us were eating birds heads!"

街名英譯
"As a footnote, we find it quite amusing that the YWCA (Young WOMEN Christian Association) is on Man Fu(c)k Road - we kid you not!!"

中英夾雜
"I flew with Cathay Pacific, which I was reliably informed won best Airline of the year. The air hostesses weren’t really up to Virgin standards, but the food was top notch and they did make everyone laugh during their safety video, cutting from Chinese to English to say “Brace Brace” (“When you hear Brace Brace take this position”) I take it there isn't a Chinese word for Brace?"

重慶大廈
"I didn't have time to move before I was pounced upon by people trying to sell me their guesthouse in the infamous Chunking Mansions. After a bit of haggling I managed to get a single room for about $30AUD (12 pound) a night. A bargain I thought. Both beds were disgustingly dirty, but I chose the single after seeing a huge cockroach walk across the double! But in true British style, I was far too polite to complain, just said it was nice and said goodnight to the manager."

拍戲?
"Walking around one particular corner, I noticed loads of film camera's and police. I stood there for 20minutes, but being the only white person there, didn't have a clue what was going on. It was only after watching the news later on in the evening that I found out a crazed axe man killed a woman down an alleyway!"

美食小冊子

老實說,香港最吸引人(無論是本地人還是外地人)的始終是彈丸之地匯聚了各種美食。

與其整d咩旅遊小冊子介紹有咩旅遊景點,不如介紹下香港邊度有好野食仲好,反正d景點都被政府拆晒咁濟。順手可以整埋食品介紹,香港點只得蛋撻咁簡單?d食肆又可以整個《美食自家製食譜》,等d 外國人食完返佢地本國時可以自己整俾d 親友食,到佢地整唔到咁好食的時候(呢個係九成會發生的事),自然會返黎食多次,仲可能會帶埋佢地d 親友黎試添。

旅發局又可以搞d 美食工作坊,好似《龍鬚糖速成班》(材料梗係本地業界幫手準備la),幾個團一齊整,影晒相整埋証書,d外國人返屋企有排同親友分享,咁第二時咪帶埋另外一d 未玩過ge 黎玩law。

如果可以咁做,香港咪好似台灣咁,「一次點樣玩得完?」
所以我幾時都認為,「飲食之都」係最適合香港.....最少o係香港(比o係大陸)食得放心,宜家香港仲未樣樣食物都有毒,「飲食之都」呢個名仲用得。
