The Oriental Hotel in Bangkok has a beautiful scene, has already added marks on it.

今天在池袋到處逛 , 行到腳都起泡呀………好倦呀! 諗起早兩晚碗無敵衰拉麵真系火滾呀 …….., 今日唔食拉麵啦 , 食餐天婦羅先 , 網上搜好左d料話天婦羅新宿綱八好野 , 而且查左下池袋都有分店 , 一於試試先………………..

 

入到店內很熱情的招呼坐低 , 睇左餐牌後(我地唔識日文) , 於是和LP各人都點左一個叫綱八禦膳的set lunch (1,890日元一set) , 有兩隻蚱 , 一個魚 , 一個鱔 , 一粒帶子 , 3個蔬菜. 一碗飯 , 一個湯…………………. 嘩! 好抵食呀…………不過只系中午先有這個價 , 如果食晚餐要3,990日元. 味道只得一個字…………”正” !!!

今天已是在東京遊玩的第六天了 , 明天也要準備回程香港 , 但今次似乎仍然未食到一碗好的拉麵 , 個心總系唔多舒服 , 前幾日都食過了 , 無敵家 , 光面 , 一蘭 , 富士喬麥 , 但老實說感覺一般吧 , 更不要說最差勁的無敵家了 , 可能是個人口味吧 !

今天到了東京站打算到處亂逛下 , 再到銀座那邊的 , 當出站時看看站內地圖指示 , 哦! 發現附近有間山頭火拉麵店 , 剛好是中午時間當然要去試下啦 , 按站內地圖指示的路線很容易就找到了 , 進入店內地方不太大 , 大概可坐7-8人左右 , 環境尚可 , 睇完餐牌都唔明講乜後 , 我就點左個拉麵定食 , LP點左個乜乜辛辣面 , 好快就有得食了 , 先飲左淡湯OK哦 , 再食理碗面 , 跟住倒理碗白飯入湯入麵食味噌湯泡飯 , 嘩..! 真系好正 , d湯一滴都飲曬…………. 好滿足啊…….. 舒服曬……….!!!

I go to Italy twice a year, Sicily in August, then Tuscany in December.  My in-laws are Italians, so I am lucky to have a chance to learn a few things about this beautiful country on a very personal level.

Sicily is located at the Southern tip of Italy, it is an island about half an hour away from the main land.  In the world map, Italy shapes like a boot and Sicily is the football at the tip of the foot.  Although Italy is not a big country, its culture varies significantly from North to South, especially the 'football' which is particularly different with its own unique culture and distinctive dialect.  The weather is very hot and dry in the Summer and Winters are mild.  I usually arrive at the hottest time of the year and come back to Hong Kong 10 degrees darker than my normal self.

Sicily has a very rich culture, its people are warm and laid back, everyone loves food and wine- and a lot of it.  Sicilians are the stereotypical image of how non-Italians view a 'typical Italian': dark, curly hair, excessively friendly, with fat mama's who are also great cooks.  Many of these 'typical Italian' Italians can indeed be found in Southern Italy.

Many Hong Kongers who are used to the city life may find Sicily boring because there are hardly any shopping malls.  I love Sicily is because of its beautiful, natural scenary and its delicious cuisine.
