澳洲港飲食

在澳洲中菜早已站穩住腳，成為很多澳洲人（不只華人）飲食的一部份。除傳統的炒飯、小炒外，澳洲人愛吃餃子已有多年，近幾年又愛上了刈包，英文簡稱bao，有時亦戲稱為Chinese hamburger，可能是這個原因所以打響名堂，甚至出現在很多酒吧的菜單上。

最近的聖誕聚餐，在海邊的西餐廳舉行，席上竟然也有中菜上桌！北京烤鴨對很多外國人早已不陌生，而且可以自己動手捲薄餅是挺好玩的，倒是那道「Pork and chives wonton with Szechuan chilli oil」令我意想不到，連紅油抄手也能浩蕩登上正式場合，看來餃子真的已深入澳洲民心了！

除了餃子和刈包，近兩三年也興起了火煱（尤其是麻辣，不過我倆no thanks），對港人來說，茶餐廳越開越多也是佳音，而且水準不錯，特別是其中一家號稱自己奪得香港的金茶王獎，我倆一試過其奶茶和駌鴦，即被其正宗的味道俘虜了我倆的心。

傳統的港式早餐，在澳洲也吃到真的感恩！

茶餐廳不只味道像，環境也像香港老家，牆上的佈置不計，但見狹小的店面，桌擠得滿滿的，座無虛席，而且還有一半顧客是講普通話的，要是連透明屏風也安裝了則跟香港遊客區的小型茶餐廳並無二致！




在家中要嗜到香港的味道也越來越容易，相比幾年前，本地連鎖超市的「亞洲食品部」擴張了不少，食品選擇日益多元，港人熟悉的品牌和食品也陸續亮相，每次發現新品都讓我倆驚喜。也許本地超市也意識到中式乃至亞洲食品在澳洲社區普遍都有需求，而且不是每個人都逛亞洲超市，所以便推出越來越多的亞洲食品滿足大眾，不讓亞洲超市專美吧。

港人移民澳洲潮剛起，隨着中式甚至港式飲食選擇趨多，想一吃解鄉愁越來越容易，有意移民者大可少一重顧慮了。

Travel advisories 旅遊忠告

The Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade issues travel advisories for all countries in the world, and the list is nothing short of exhaustive. Obviously Hong Kong’s perpetual air pollution gets a mention (and it touched the nerves of the local media), as well as the haze that descends upon Singapore between July and October. But Australian major cities are not totally spotless in regard to air pollution. Last Saturday I was quite surprised by the reduced visibility on the roads when driving under the broad daylight of noon. Since it was not supposed to be a foggy day, the only possibility was a haze or smog of some kind. I never thought that it could occur on a day with lighter traffic like the weekend. The lab where I am working now is located on the 8th floor of a hospital building adjoining the main building of the research institute, and we have to go through an outdoor stairway whenever we want to enter or exit the main building. The stairway offers an unhindered vi...

When autumn settles 秋高氣爽

Finally the weather has stopped being temperamental in October, and is giving us as many fine days as we ask for. The increasing chilliness in the morning air, however, is a reminder that beautiful autumn days like these don't necessarily last long! The weather was still rather warm for the first few days of the month. On 1st October, my colleagues and I took an early finish at work and went for the Oktoberfest. While it was not as jam-packed and crazy as the opening day , it was still not easy to find a table. We sat outside during the day time and switched indoors in the beer tent after dark. The atmosphere inside was simply infectious. We all entered a state of exhilaration in no time, as we saw a sea of people standing on the benches, dancing and chanting to the music of the band. It finally dawned on me how people could spend a whole day at the Oktoberfest. Beer, it seems, is the best form ecstasy for many people in Western societies! The cooler weather in the following weeken...

Start the Summer … 姍姍來遲的春天，和未有影蹤的夏天

A carry bag from a fashion chain store caught my eye on the underground train last Saturday. The big words on the bag said, ‘Start the Summer!’ Of course the store wants to promote its latest line of summer products. Maybe the locals think that summer isn’t that far away. But to me, summer is still a distant future away and spring has barely started. Proper spring, I mean – or the kind of spring I am more used to … Yes, the weather has generally stopped being uncomfortably cold since the start of April, but winter appeared to be lingering until maybe a week or so ago and was constantly contriving a come-back. Even now, the mornings are still a little chilly and wasn’t too unlike the sunny winter days of Melbourne. But on Saturday I’ve reassured myself finally that winter weather is well and truly gone, and I could safely put away my clothes for the coldest of the days. On the same day, quite a few locals were already donning T-shirts and shorts in the streets. Makes me jealous … Up to ...
