灣仔 (23-12-2007)
平常甚少「行」灣仔，這次專程去〈永華〉吃雲吞麵，看見對面的〈冠華〉，當然不會放過啦。
久咳未逾，看見凡寫有化痰止咳的都放進提籃內，數數看，也太多了吧，於是又將部份抽出放回原處，留下八仙果、檸檬、冬薑，菊花清熱說不定也有幫助，還有我最愛吃的合桃酥，……滿載而歸。
走過馬路，一座黃澄澄的建築物橫在眼前，當看到〈和昌大押〉四個字時，不禁驚叫出來。
以前坐「叮叮」時，看見這座日久失修殘破不堪的百年唐樓，非常「眼冤」，總覺得那些後人如果不肯花錢維修，就乾脆賣出去吧。現在翻新過來，卻美化得像澳門漁人碼頭的布景屋。
好一個專業導遊呀你！太厲害了！

Isis, what's a 冬薑 ? What is it good for ? Thanks for sharing.
回覆刪除Yes, I too was quite happy to see that old "pawnshop" building still standing with its refurbished look. The HKSAR Government is finally becoming more sensitive to people's view about preserving some of the old buildings relevant to HK's history. I hope they'll do it more often. I hope too that when they decide to act, they do it early and not delay until its too late like what's happened with other buildings and monumental structures in the past. I love HK. I consider it my home now and some of its history should be preserved for present and future generations.
[版主回覆01/07/2008 00:34:00]不肯定冬薑的英文是不是叫 winter ginger ， 可以說是 preserved ginger ， it relieves cough (special for ‘ 夜咳 ’ (cough at sleeping time)) ，冬薑不是平常炒菜用的薑，真的是只在冬天才出產的。
i've had this cough on and off since July of last year...

yes, i saw a doctor several times, but only got well as long as the pills lasted. But i think after this trip to the US, i am finally getting better, even without the pills. i'm at about 98%
回覆刪除咳好了嗎?Take care.
