沙溪荔苑不只係中山出名食店，原來仲係旅遊重點餐飲店．當日我地唔記訂位，無論主樓或戶外花園雅座都滿人．好彩內地人早食晏．我地一點半去到剛好食第二輪

去荔苑食飯一定唔可以錯過大煎堆．咪以為咁大個會好硬，實質軟糯香脆，次次食都掃清．當日乳鴿沽清，於是試吓隻荔枝木燒雞．果然皮脆肉嫩．RMB35一隻，認真抵食！苧頭扣肉肥瘦恰到好處，唔會覺漏．醬汁味濃送白飯一流．加埋瓦煲炒貢菜，豆豉蒸肉餅呢ｄ家鄉菜，小朋友都食兩碗飯．

岩d攀爬一般人士去玩~ 我就當然喜歡啦~ 因為我唔勁~呵呵~

今朝開始已經好多人~ 因為10月1日,中國有8天長假期~ 所以就好多人都自駕遊了~
本身前往同門山不太遠, 但因塞車, 所以就攪到好晏~
今日我有帶定cook set,去到同門山有兩個大洞, 涼涼地,有檯,有櫈!! 四圍風景多是山,田~
其實就冇乜風景, 之但係本身來的目的是攀石~ 所以我著重的是攀石的線有幾多野玩~
 

睇guide book找到這個攀石地方, 於是就前往去玩玩, 看看這個地方~
地方少少難搵~ 因為唔係太識路~ 個個山都差唔多~
不過, 搵到之後,就開始爬, 但因為正午時分~ 所以好曬~
有另一面爬的, 之但係,本人攀石能力麻麻, 冇本事轉另一面玩~
地方都算幾好~ 冇乜人o黎玩~ 可能仲未係假期~
下午爬完就走人番酒店, 放底野就外出用膳了~ 

３０－９－２０１２

今天約了去看想租的房子，在新大久保的．

首先要到新宿的地產公司拿鎖匙，之後到新大久保看房子．

幸好有一位同學isaac去呢！因看的途中有人來ｃｈｅｃｋ露台，

真的被嚇倒了！isaac有n2 level，所以知道那工作人員是來做什麼～

這間房子算幾乾淨，但真的有點小，媽媽來也住不到呢！

看完後，便我們便回新宿吃午餐．去了coco一番屋～

Due to my limited knowledge in coffee, I had always thought that NESCAFE was merely a brand which could be find in the grocery shelves in any supermarkets. Not until my friends and I stepped into a randomly chosen coffee shop in Myeong-dong, that I realized NESCAFE had its own cafe branch, and to put it on a more surprising term, it was a flagship store. Oh my gosh.

NESCAFE was one of those top-listed names in the coffee list, but it was also one of those that I never came across to know how to appreciate their coffee beans. Situated in one of the narrow alleys in Myeong-dong, Cafe NESCAFE was surprisngly huge, with four floors in total. Seats were scatterly spread in order to provide maximum spaciousness and comfortness to customers seeking for a warm cup of coffee, and a good novel for the afternoon.
Despite its hugeness, I was particularly impressed with the quietness. Even though most of the seats were taken, you could hardly spot any noise that would disrupt your afternoon coffee. The silence turned the cafe into such a peaceful area that one of my friends were able to fall asleep within minutes, oh and of course, the comfy and large sofa we chose was the main reason too.

Moving on to the food, it was a pity that my throat did not feel well after I stayed up in the previous night for my academic project. It was very torturing to witness my friends spooning the gigantic strawberry ice in extreme satisfaction. I ordered an Onion bagel with cream cheese, along with a cup of White Chocolate Mocha. The onion bagel was nice especially topped with cream cheese, however it wasn't warm enough that soon it cooled down all too quickly. The White Chocolate Mocha was heaven. I could imagine myself, sitting in the cafe alone, sipping this cup for the whole afternoon. Yet, everything came with a cost - that my throat worsened after this cup of mocha (and it was white chocolate, even worse).

If you were looking for fancy desserts or coffee, Cafe NESCAFE might disappoint you. But if you were looking for somwhere spacious or quiet to spend your afternoon, then this is certainly the place.

Anyone who visited Seoul could probably recall "Dunkin Donuts", as it was located nearly everywhere within Seoul. At times I was very curious towards this name, but I never had the chance to try it out, until my friend suggested it on the third last day of our trip.

Everything in Dunkin Donuts seemed too artifical to me. From the design of the food, to the use of colours and ingredients, were very much playful to me. I did not have a good feeling about the food here and I only observed my friend purchasing a banana shaped donut. We broke it into half, and gave it a try at the same time. With nearly the same reaction, we both gave a puked-face.
The donut was extremly, extremly sweet. Too sweet that it nearly tasted fake. And it was petite, well, I guess that was a good thing as we managed to finsh it off in a bite. With that being said, I just missed Mister Donut even more...

If you have been to South Korea, I am certain that most people (especially the older generation) would ask whether you have had some ginseng chicken.
Of course, ginseng chicken is one of the most famous dishes in South Korea, for its healthiness and poshness. But I never liked ginseng chicken. Or put it in a nicer way, I never learnt to appreciate the dish.

However, letting people know that you've been to Seoul for two weeks but never had a bowl of ginseng chicken would be somewhat.. disappointing. Eventually, my friends and I decided to devote our precious dinnertime to try out some ginseng chicken, before we regretted.

Having read our travelling guide, we noticed that this restaurant had a long history of serving high-quality ginseng chicken in Myeong-dong. At one point we were worried that our meal would cost us a lot, luckily it wasn't.
There were not much to choose from in the menu, but since we were already pretty much clear of what we wanted to eat, it didn't take us long til we order.

There were four of us in total, so every two of us shared a pot of ginseng chicken. My friend and I ordered Wild Sesame Ginseng Chicken Soup and Rice. I have always sesame so I thought this dish would certainly be very healthy. When the pot arrived, it was no different to the ginseng chicken I had back when I was young in Seoul. As usual, the rice was stuffed into the chicken in advance before cooking in the soup base. Since ginseng chicken usually took a long time to cook, the chicken was thoroughly boiled and tasted very soft and delicate. As for the sesame soup paste, it was so so thick that I was not particularly keen on drinking it, somehow.
We ordered an extra baby chicken to share, and it tasted nice too, though it was pretty similar to the baby chicken we had back in Hong Kong.

After the dinner, I still disliked ginseng chicken. Probably because I found ginseng too bitter itself (though it was a very healthy ingredient), and the chicken was just like any other chicken in the market. I perhaps need to study more about ginseng chicken.

20/07/2012 搭10:00am CX450班機到台北桃園機場, 11:45 am 到達台北, 台灣朋友已在機場等我哋

上咗佢架私家車, 佢即刻車我哋北上, 直去基隆轉入金山北海岸, 當日風和日麗, 藍天白雲; 約1小時後, 朋友就响一間似希臘白色小屋前停車, 呢間小屋叫洋豆子咖啡屋

洋豆子咖啡屋就在北海岸旁, 面向太平洋, 對住個海飲咖啡, 食件cake, 真係非常寫意; 咖啡屋有室外同室內, 室內有冷氣,不可抽煙; 室外正面對住大海, 吹住海風好舒服; 當日由於室外已滿座, 我哋為有坐室內喇!
 
朋友自行叫了三件餅, 水果冰茶, 芒果沙冰同朱古力沙冰

三件餅都好大件, 我哋四個人食, 都差d食唔晒; 水果冰茶造形好典雅, 真係有d唔捨得破壞佢, 味道就稍甜, 係因為加了半個好甜嘅橙同其他生果; 芒果沙冰係用新鮮芒果製, 芒果相當甜; 朱古力沙冰就較普通d, 但我嘅港童鍾意, 冇法!

由於係朋友請, 所以我唔知呢餐幾多錢, 但應約700元台幣左右

其實去洋豆子咖啡屋之前, 朋友在路邊停車話買粟米食, 佢話呢間小舖出名食燒烤粟米, 咁就買咗每人一支

原來呢條係糯米粟, 喺上面塗上一層烤肉醬汁, 食落好似食燒烤肉類般, 感覺粟米粒黏黏的, 真係同香港嘅超甜粟米d質感唔同, 食完真係唔洗食飯, 好鬼飽呀!

 

二十年前曾跟團嚟過台灣環島8天, 最有印象係呢個景點 - 野柳

在與朋友編行程時, 我提議去此處, 因為呢個景點真的令我印象深刻, 另一半同港童從未蹈足台灣, 而台灣朋友都十年冇嚟過, 所以朋友就順路由北海岸入野柳

依加嘅野柳靚咗好多, 修路造橋, 有埋個旅遊中心, 收埋門票50元,  仲打造埋卡通人物代表野柳石象, 好鬼可愛

野柳現場所見, 本地人好少, 最多就係祖國同胞, 一團又一團, 周圍都係佢哋嘅踪影, 當然有d唔守規矩啦! 如踩上d風化石上影相, 隨地吐痰, 想打尖影女皇頭等等.....唉! 真失禮! 當然都唔係個個係咁嘅!

行完野柳，朋友就揸車直去陽明山。

我曾在網上搵資料，好似係冇直接嘅巴士由野柳去陽明山，要轉車先至可以去到，又或者包車。

今次朋友只帶我哋遊咗陽明山嘅東北及東南面，而因時間同順路関係，今次係冇去西面同北投，下次去台北再補數吧!

在陽明山遊車河，感覺很好，氣溫稍涼，約攝氏23度, 同山下的台北氣溫成強烈對比。

朋友就响冷水坑放底我哋，呢處有免費溫泉提供，可全身浸或浸腳，我哋只係浸腳。

全身浸溫泉嘅地方比較簡陋，外型是公廁模式，前面小屋是男温泉，後面係女溫泉，的確浸身區較舊，裏面有一個小池，約可容納6個人左右，溫泉池旁是沖身處，而浸溫泉的人大部份都係上咗年紀嘅公公婆婆，溫泉內裡大家都是赤條條，所以唔方便影相。 

陽明山嘅溫泉，係屬於硫磺溫泉，所以有浸硫磺味。浸完腳後， 都覺得雙腳滑咗D。

跟住又出發去下一個景點 -  文化大學新建體育館，係呢處可以望晒全台北景色。

喺文化大學新建體育館走落50米, 就係今晚食飯嘅地方 - 屋頂上。

嚟呢間餐廳最主要原因, 係呢間餐廳可飽覽台北市全景。佢哋有室內同室外嘅枱, 當然室外係最多人揀, 因為可以睇景麻! 而且佢哋亦在餐廳中間位置設置咗共用間, 有8張長椅比客人坐, 共用間係唔可以食嘢, 只可以比客人影相同睇景, 有d喺室內嘅客人食完嘢就走出嚟睇景, 真週到啊呀! 如果係香港, 一定唔會有共用間, 餐廳一定放多四張枱搵食。

食方面我覺得OK嘅, 雖然唔係真係好味到令人難忘, 但對住個靚景食飯, D菜式都零舍好味嘅!

價錢方面係唔貴, 我哋一共叫咗5個菜, 碟頭又大, 味道又唔錯, 都係NT1650, 約HK$441/4個人, 只是香港一般餐廳酒樓價; 如果係香港, 一定收高檔價, 點會咁大眾化呢!
