今個Blog帶大家去買海味!
The little white shoes is bringing you to buy tonic food.

永樂街和文咸西街兩條街道，是香港最大的海味乾貨集散地。昔日，這裡有不少「南北行」*經營中國內地土產及雜貨買賣；如今，依然還有很多裝潢老舊的老字號售賣參茸海味。

永樂街、文咸西街
香港人注重飲食，參茸海味和燕窩等具有調養療效的食材十分風行。在德輔道西附近的永樂街及文咸西街一帶，參茸燕窩店林立，要選購這些滋補養生食品，這兒是不二之選。部分商鋪還有出售自製的燕窩甜點，不妨一試。

於早期年代，參茸燕窩街的建築多樓高三層。工人會將參茸海味放在屋頂曬乾。曬乾後，將貨品左地下的商鋪中出售。而中間的一層作為住宅

現今，參茸海味多置於街上將其曬乾。

在參茸燕窩街的店舖都有一個特色, 它們都會建高一級。因為香港雨水多，不時受到水浸的威脅。為了減少損失，店舖會建高一級以防止參茸海味和燕窩沾濕。

如何到達?

從港鐵上環站A2出口，沿禧利街往皇后大道中方向前往。

MTR Sheung Wan Station Exit A2. Walk towards Queen's Road Central via Hillier Street.

SPD4459 The Western Market

上環街市北座大樓於 1989 年已停用空置。直至1991年，市區重建局(前土地發展公司) 展開修葺工程，將之改建為傳統行業及手工藝中心，並易名“西港城”。 於 2003 年再進行翻新工程，交由德藝會有限公司管理，並運用活化再利用的概念，增添主題餐廳及多家特色商店，為西港城及周邊環境注入新的經濟生命力，成為匯聚古蹟、商貿、美食、藝術的香港文物。

The market building became vacant. Until 1991, Urban Renewal Authority (URA) (The former Land Development Corporation) converted the market into a center of traditional traders, arts and crafts and renamed it as "the Western Market". The refurbishment taken place again in 2003.
Adopting the concept of adaptive-reuse, the building has been brought back to their useful economic life by accommodating theme restaurant and boutique shops that turning the building and the vicinity into a place for lifestyle shopping and leisure activities.

今天的西港城內有四層，因而分了四個區域，分別是鋪、布、食、藝。就讓小白鞋為大家介紹吧！

相信到過西港城的你都知道它是一座商場。但依它的外貌來看，應該都知道它曾受時間洗禮，背後擁有一段頗長的歷史吧！可是有多少人知道呢？

I believe you all know Western Market is a kind of shopping mall. However, how many of you know the history about it?

www.bandiland-wordpress.com

現時，西港城建於1906年, 是全港最古老的街市建築物。於 1990 年獲古物古蹟辦事處列為法定古蹟，前身為舊上環街市北座大樓。　 At present, the Western Market is the oldest market building surviving in Hong Kong which completed in 1906. The building was originally the old Western Market (North Block), which was identified by Antiquities and Monuments Offices (AMO) as one of the Declared Monuments in 1990. 上環街市北座大樓於 1989 年已停用空置。直至1991年，市區重建局(前土地發展公司) 展開修葺工程，將之改建為傳統行業及手工藝中心，並易名“西港城”。  The market building became vacant. Until 1991, Urban Renewal Authority (URA) (The former Land Development Corporation) converted the market into a center of traditional traders, arts and crafts and renamed it as "the Western Market". www.flickr.com 西港城的結構屬英國愛德華式建築風格。此種建築風格於 1901 至 1918 年期間在英國非常風行。 The building is in Edwardian style that was popular in England from 1901 to 1918. 以紅磚及花崗石砌成主要結構，利用石塊色彩及紋理製造多色效果，而角樓外牆附有帶狀磚飾。 Combination use of red bricks and granite band on a granite base and the 'bandaged' brick work to the corner towers gives a polychromatic effect.                                  www.kenmerry.com 為適應香港氣候及配合建築物料的供應，建築物的斜屋頂以中國式捲狀瓦片鋪設，表現香港早期西式建築物所揉合的東方色彩。 In response to the local climate and availability of material, a steep roof is used covered with Chinese pan and roll tiles. The roof displays the combination of oriental features into the early Western style of building in Hong Kong.  小白鞋將於下一編部落格中為你介紹今天的小白鞋。密切留意!

As for the Fringe Club, what do you come up with? Don't you know about the relationship between the late Mr Leslie Cheung and the Club?

經典電影《金枝玉葉》就是在藝穗會取景拍攝。電影中，印象最深刻的情節就是在藝穗會的一幕，造就了顧家明 (張國榮) 和林子穎(袁詠儀)的邂逅。

The famous film "He's a Woman, She's a Man" was filmed at the Fringe Club where Sam Koo Gai Ming (Leslie Cheung) ran into Lam Chi Wing (Anita Yuen) in the scene. 

《金枝玉葉》電影照

藝穗會於1983年進駐後，把倉庫多次翻新修葺，為外牆塗上紅白色，才變成今日的外觀。
In 1983, it had undergone many renovations and printed in red and white since the Club moved in.

政府於2001年頒發文物獎，表揚倉庫見證百年歷史；更於2009年評為一級歷史建築。
The HK government presented the Hong Kong Heritage Awards and listed it as a Grade I historic building in 2001 and 2009 respectively.

現今藝穗會為香港或海外藝術家提供免租金的展覽及表演場地；同時也為藝術愛好者提供一處共聚和欣賞節目的地方。
Today, the Club has become an art space for artists to create and show their work, facilities for exhibitions and performances are offered rent-free to both emerging and professional artist in Hong Kong and from overseas.

舊牛奶公司倉庫 Old Dairy Farm Depot 

舊牛奶公司倉庫(Old Dairy Farm Depot)或稱為舊牛奶公司寫字樓(Old Dairy Farm Building)，已被列為香港一級歷史建築。

歴史:
舊牛奶公司倉庫建於1892年，樓高3層，由牛奶公司興建，最初只用作冰庫（但這並非雪廠街所指的「雪廠」），當時香港人用作冷藏的冰塊是從中國北部採用船運，在離雲咸街不遠的皇后大道中海邊碼頭卸貨，再用人力拖運到這個冰庫儲藏。

1896年，牛奶公司將總部搬到此處，並先後加建屠場、餡餅生產工場、牛奶分銷中心、零售冰粒雪庫、副食品工場以及鍋爐間等設備。

1913年，原倉庫被翻新為牛奶公司總經理的住所。香港日治時期，日軍曾將倉庫掠奪一空。香港重光後，該址恢復作為牛奶公司總部。

1982年，牛奶公司遷出該倉庫，而牛奶公司則遷往鰂魚涌太古坊德宏大廈迄今，同年香港外國記者會進駐北座，藝穗會則在1983年12月遷入南座。

History:

In 1892, Dairy Farm built a low-rise brick and stucco building on Lower Albert Road in Central for use as a cold storage warehouse. It was designed by Danby & Leigh (now Leigh & Orange). The original depot only comprised about half (the southern part) of the present premises. This warehouse was later renovated and expanded in 1913, 1917 and 1925 to include a dairy shop, a room for meat smoking, a cold storage room for winter clothes and residency for the general manager. The building later evolved into the company headquarters until the company moved in the 1970s.

The Foreign Correspondent's Club started occupying the North Block in 1982. The South Block was acquired by the Hong Kong Fringe Club in 1984. It has undergone many major renovations to make it a vibrant place for contemporary arts since the Fringe Club moved in, in 1983.

摩羅街，摩羅街，相信身為香港人的你一定知道這街道的存在，但有多少人清楚這街道名的由來和歷史呢？就讓小白鞋來告訴你吧！
Lascar Row, Lascar Row, I believe you must have heard about this street if you are a Hong Kong-er. However, how many of you know the history behind it? Lets find it out with "The Little White Shoes"!

http://eastweek.my-magazine.me

香港開埠初期，不少印度水手與士兵喜歡在此聚集擺賣貨品，當時香港人已喜歡把印度人稱為「嚤囉」（信奉錫克教的印度人），因此此街便被稱為摩羅街。

In early Hong Kong, many Indian sailors and soldiers love hawking in this area. Hong Kong-ers love calling them as "嚤囉" (Indian who believe in Sikhism) at that time，therefore, this street was named as Lascar Row (摩羅街).

其實「嚤囉」有對印度和巴基斯坦等種族的歧視意味，因而曾被要求改街道。但時至今日，其街道名都沒有因而改變，因為它記載了一部份中西區的歷史。

Actually Lascar Row (嚤囉)  has been requested to change this name because it carries the meaning of races discrimination. Apparently，the street's name did not changed as it record part of the history of Central and Western District.
