雅香緬甸咖啡美食

這是一家我每到澳門必光顧的餐廳。我常光顧的是雅香在媽閣的分行。


所有光顧過這家店明星的照片都粘在店裏的墻上。

點了緬甸撈面。唇齒留香。

這碗不知什麽名堂的湯是與緬甸撈面一併端上來的。很香！

點了第二道美食是馬來盞撈面。光聼名字，剛開始以爲是一道辣的食物。但我錯了，這是一碗很香很好吃的面。超讚！

來到澳門，不妨到這家餐廳試試。

Dragon’s Treasure, The Bubble

During the visit to Macau, I chose to stay at a newly opened hotel, Hard Rock Hotel, City of Dreams. We went to watch Dragon’s Treasure show at The Bubble, a dome-shaped theatre and one of the iconic landmarks located in City of Dreams. It was a spectacular 10 minutes visual extravaganza that tells the story of the Dragon Pearl and its mysterious powers as experienced by each of the four Dragon Kings.

The show starting off with some jelly fish type droplight.

Then, a mini waterfall came out from the middle of The Bubble ceiling with different effect of light and music.



We had brought into the deep sea...... We're surrounding by fishes.


Jellyfishes..





Finally, the dragon.

The entrance fee to this show is free of charge. :)

Est. De Comidas 紅屋

I went to Macau recently, visited a restaurant which serving Portegese food. This restaurant not doing much advertisement and most of their customer are from local.

Feel very homey in this restuarant.

Ordered a Portugese beer, Sugres for him.

We had ordered broccoli bacalhau for the our 1st dish. That was a quite delicious dish. Bacalhau dishes common in Portugal. Bacalhau essential ingredient is salted dried codefish. This dish, bacalhau mixed with mashed potatoes and steam with broccoli.

While waiting for 2nd dish, I was taking a photo of the cute chicken toothpick holder.

Finally, the 2nd dish cames up. It was seafood rice. Erm.. from this photo, probably you may think this is just a normal rice. But, it was a very delicious rice with lots of seafood ingredients in there. Mussels, shrimps, clams, fish and tomatoes.

一個道出你我心聲的文章

今日，我在本地都市日報上閲讀了一篇很寫實的文章。在此，與大家分享。

[轉貼] 黃毅力 力筆從心：絕對空虛的心靈

A君是一個上班族，工作多年，心已麻木，做事不求有功，但求無過，雖然心裏也希望「上位」，但總覺得「時不與我，世事無常」，所以慢慢就放棄了上進的野心。只要每月能準時出糧，每年加一點薪金，閒時有假 期可放，A君就已經心滿意足。每天上班下班是A君的例行公事。

當A君下班後回到家裏，他會第一時間扭開電視，坐在沙發上不斷來回地按着遙控器轉換頻道，他這樣做並不是為 了欣賞電視節目，而是為了令自己有些事可以做；看電視看得悶了，便會打開電腦，展開模擬人生，不斷上網，漫無目的地開啟網站，不停瀏覽，沒有方向、沒有動 機，更沒有目標。

雖然他感到很悶，也在問自己為甚麼要營營役役、自身價值到底何在、定位在哪裏，如何才能成功等等，但每晚想來想去，A君都只會愈想愈迷惘，結果想到睡着了，一覺醒來又再上班。A君就好像機器一樣，每天定時定候做着相同的事。

「終於捱到星期五了！」A君大叫。原來A君早在星期三，就已經約好了朋友，準備星期五及星期六晚玩個不亦樂乎，一起瘋狂「劈酒」，再唱通宵卡拉OK，當玩得累了，喝醉後，明天醒來已經是下午4-5時，吃過晚飯，星期一又再上班，重複又重複着無聊的生活。

你可能會問，A君是誰？答案可能就是你！大部分都市人都喜歡以「逃避」來驅散自己的空虛感，逃避那些難以忍受的寂寞。我們用盡種種方式去逃避， 是因為我們害怕一安靜下來，馬上便會感受到心靈下陷的空虛感，怕自己想得愈多，內心愈空虛，所以不願意面對，只懂得不斷逃避：逃避責任、逃避寂寞、逃避思 考……結果，當「逃避」成了習慣，慢慢就會連把握自己人生的機會都逃避了。

林振強先生說過：「人不是電視台，不必每天都有節目。」對，我們是人，不是電視台，為甚麼一定要有節目呢？為甚麼不放過自己的靈魂，讓「他」有自我思考的空間呢？為甚一定將所有時間填得滿滿呢？夜夜笙歌，散席後不是更空虛嗎？

如果你發現自己跟A君有丁點兒相似，我希望你能立刻自我改變，跳出黑洞！如果你不知怎樣改變，不妨鼓勵自己 「貪」一點。貪念人人都有，「貪」是一種慾望，為何不將這種慾望轉化為你的目標呢？當有了目標，做人就自然會踏實起來。在這種意義上，「貪」並非壞事。但 是「貪」也一定要貪得其所，不可因貪心而做壞事，更不可以貪勝不知輸。

各位讀者：日復一日，匆匆人生，徒然虛渡，你又甘不甘心？假如你甘心，請不要以為你能渾渾噩噩直到終老，因為人老了就會生病，想像一下：當你病到半生不死的時候，只能將「我要活下去」成為你人生最大、最後，唯一的目標時，你又會後悔嗎？[完]

忽然閒發現，自己很像A君。你呢？

King Ludwig Beerhall

I went to Stanley Market last week and visited this famous German restaraunt for dinner. But we had too much food during lunch, so, we ordered 2 dishes.

This German restaurant is famous with different taste of sausages. We had ordered Potato Cake with Sausage.

The taste was good. But I find the potato cake too oily.


There is always some room for my stomach for desert. We had ordered Apple Strudel and I can tasted the layer of apple, cinnamon and raisin. I give thumb up of this desert.
