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.

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!

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.

Antiques Street is Lascar Row, which located at Sheung Wan, is a narrow alley in Mid-Levels that runs parallel to Hollywood Road on the north side. Major selling antiques and second-hand goods.

摩羅街又名為貓街。因為過往曾有偷來的賊贓，俗稱「老鼠貨」。外國人稱來買「老鼠貨」都是貓，因而得名。

Upper Lascar Row is also known as Cat Street. It is because some antiques or second-hand items were stolen goods, commonly known as “rat goods”. People who buy these goods are like “Cats”, therefore, it called Cat Street.

SPD4459 The Little White Shoes: Sugar Cane Juice At Grade 2 Historic Building - Kung Lee

SPD4459 The Little White Shoes!

二級古蹟 公利真料竹蔗水

炎炎夏日，大家逛街的時候難免會大汗耷細汗。「如果眼前出現有一杯冰涼的飲品可以解渴消暑就好了。」當大家正走在荷李活道就有福了，我地即將同大家介紹既天然又原汁原味既消暑飲品 – 公利真料竹蔗水。

In this hot summer, most of us must be looking for a drink to cool down ourselves, especially walking outdoor. Today, we are going to introduce a cool drink to all of you, Sugar Cane Juice from Kung  Lee which locates at Hollywood Road.

公利真料竹蔗水的大門

公利真料竹蔗水店內佈置

存放新鮮的竹蔗

從公利的外表可以睇得出呢間店舖充滿歷史的味道，由窗戶、陽台及店內的佈置都令人想起昔日的香港。

When you walk into Kung Lee, you will find decoration, inside whatever  windows and balcony are filling with the

'Old Hong Kong' style. 

原來店鋪早在一九四八年開業，至今已有五十八年歷史。不為人知既係公利前身係華仁書院，即香港第一所由華人管理的英文中學，早在一九一九年成立於此地。及後校舍得以保存，成為了公利真料竹蔗水，更被列為香港二級古蹟。

Kung Lee opened at 1984 which have history of a half century. Early in 1919, it was Wah Yan College, first English secondary school managed by Chinese. Later on, the school was revitalized as Kung Lee and becomes Grade 2 historic building in Hong Kong.

公利真料竹蔗水價目表

聽完公利的故事後，未知大家會唔會對公利有更大的期待呢！夠竟係咩原因令公利迄立至金？相信絕大部分係因為公利用真材實料去製作每一杯飲品。以竹蔗汁與竹蔗水為例，公利唔會故意混用。前者係由完整甘蔗榨出來的汁；後者是將甘蔗、茅根、陳皮一起煲煮，所以價格都不同。

What make Kung Lee come across a half century and maintain its competitiveness nowadays ? To a large extent, the raw material uses and its business philosophy make it successful. For example, Sugar Cane Juice and Sugar Cane Tea make up of two different ingredients, Kung Lee would never mix up for charging a higher price. 

特別推介公利蔗汁糕

除了竹蔗水外，公利更有售龜苓膏及五花茶等。當中最值得推介的係蔗汁糕，口感綿軟煙韌，放入口中更有淡淡清新的甘蔗味，既可消暑又可當甜品食。我地試完之後都不忙影低同朋友開心Share！

Besides Sugar Cane Juice, there are Herbal Jelly and Five Flowers Tea. Among them, we truly recommend Sugar Cane Pudding to all of you. Its texture is soft and tastes fresh and cool !
