SPD4459 The Little White Shoes 參茸燕窩街 Ginseng & Bird's nest Street

SPD4459 Internet Marketing and Public Relations

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!

One day

坐左喺前牛奶公司倉庫門前面嘅一個小朋友發現到有對小白鞋喺旁邊

A boy who sat aside the street corner and bumped into a pair of little white shoes suddenly 

由於好奇心重

Which were being abandoned outside the Old Dairy Farm Depot. With the sense of curiosity, 

佢二話不說就攞左黎著

The boy decided to swap his ruined sneakers into the little white shoes

就係咁，奇怪嘅事就發生了…

And… something strange has happened…. He found it fits!!!

原來對小白鞋有靈性架，係一對識跳舞嘅小白鞋。藉住今次有新歸宿，仲唔好好遊走下中環區?

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.
