9. Foodie-ism
美食主義
Hong Kong: 7 million people, 15,000 restaurants.This is a city of unashamedly camera-toting, food-blogging, lip-smacking gourmands. Foodies here will have lunch at a three Michelin star restaurant and dinner at astreet-side dai pai dong hawker stall. Our cha chaan teng diners can whip up fantastical East-meets-West dishes,considered sacrilegious anywhere else in the world -- ever tried asyrup-slathered French toast filled with satay beef slices? Or instant noodles dressed in a cheese sauce? No?You haven't lived. Take it from this city of people who are very good at eating.
香港:700萬人,15000家餐館。香港對美食家來說簡直就是圣地,他們手持相機咔嚓咔嚓、美食博客巴拉巴拉、嘴巴上則吧唧吧唧。雖然紐約的餐館密度沒有這么高,但是紐約餐館的多樣性是驚人的。美食家可以在香港的米其林三星酒店吃午餐,可以在街邊的大排檔吃晚餐。而在茶餐廳里,人們可以見識到東西方結合的菜肴,而世界其他地方的人們會覺得這種做法是應該遭天譴的——你吃過充滿沙茶牛肉片并沾滿大量糖漿的法式土司嗎?或者吃過沾滿芝士醬的方便面嗎?沒有?那你白活了。那就去嘗嘗吧,這個城市的人好懂得吃。
