稻庭烏冬

前陣子實在太埋首工作，沒有機會和朋友好好聚頭。最近終於從山洞走出來，相約友人G吃個晚飯，談天說地。

約在尖沙咀，本來沒有什麼特別想吃的，估不到友人提議到我很久以前已經想一試的稻庭烏冬餐廳，真開心！

本來對烏冬並沒有特別喜歡，但由於弟弟有一陣子情迷鳥冬，所以很想看看有沒有好吃的可以介紹給他。的確沒有讓人失望！

我們只點了豆孔乳pot燜和冷的稻庭烏冬。先吃烏冬，入口非常有彈性，我比較喜歡duck dressing，因為山芋dressing太似鼻涕，有點兒難受! 豆乳pot材料十分豐富，牛肉特別好吃！湯是清清的，卻帶有很重的豆乳味，吃完也不會有太濟的感賞覺。

最開心的是可以和友人暢談一番，感激他耐心的聽著。當然也少不了把美味的烏冬帶回家讓弟弟一嘗！

 

滿足的肚子，幸福的晚上！正為我的休息之旅作最好的開始！

各位晚安！

new drinks for your break

Had a real tough day battling with the system...........time for a break and found 2 new drinks that i would like to try (unfortunately, none of them available in Hong Kong) : P

  Green Tea Coke!!! I am a green tea lover (especially matcha)! So green tea coke is probably the only way to bring me into the cola world!

  

Haha, yea, starbucks is releasing INSTANT coffee, no kidding!!

Currently watching (done) 拜託小姐

It has been a while since i watched any drama (Japanese, Korean, Taiwanese). The last one was also a Korean Drama (Coffee Prince).

So because i really liked 尹恩惠 in Coffee Prince, i selected this new drama 拜託小姐 and am now done with watching (after 2 weeks time).

  

"恩惠飾演的角色叫做姜惠娜，父母年幼時就因飛機失事去世，由財團的爺爺撫養長大，個性驕傲、冷漠且自私自利，擁有優秀的劍術、馬術與射擊能力，她所擁有的 這些都是為了羞辱那些配不上她又接近他的男人，目中無人的惠娜看不起男人，直到她們家的管家出現在她的生活中，干涉她的生活，要她做社區服務，姜惠娜決定 全力反擊，要把這位管家趕出她的生活。

飾演管家的尹尚賢（右），號稱韓國的木村拓哉（？）之前的作品是賢內助女王，當初聽到不是姜東元讓我好失望，不過看到宣傳海報後又使我重燃希望，似乎是個 很好的美術造型設計，他本身是個窮小子，進到大財團家擔任管家，最主要的目的就是錢，沒錯，據說女主角住的豪宅裡有神祕的資金，他就是位了找出這筆資金以 錢為目的接近財團的千金，也是反派的主角。讓我覺得有趣的是這次的主角們都是反派人物，惹人厭的女主角，根本是來搶錢的男主角，有趣新鮮的設計，反派角色 該如何改變反派角色的人生呢，相信這會是本片的主旨。

飾演白馬王子的鄭日宇，真的很像白馬王子啊，他要與管家爭奪女主角，飾演的就是與女主角門當戶對有錢公子，職業是律師，第二男主角，照理說是個永遠不會贏的角色，但怪的是宣傳海報怎麼他的照片比較多？"

Up until now, i finally knew why i got so attached to this drama...haha, yup, it's him: 鄭日宇. I liked his atmosphere and outfit in the drama, subtle yet still very attractive:

  

Not to mention he is quite tall and it's just the way he dressed....

 

Magic or Mighty Mouse?

Haha, after getting the 15" Macbook Pro for a while, i was tempted to get the mighty mouse and the wireless keyboard. Luckily, i stopped myself from doing so and yesterday found that Apple announced the birth of "Magic Mouse" which is multi-touch "thing" for someone with an eye for a nicely designed mouse.

I am not sure about Magic over Mighty, will explore a bit more and make my decision. Anyone got that already? Can you let me know what's the feeling after using it?

 

Currently Listening: Robstar Lobster

Meet an old old friend Pat yesterday and had a great time at the airport. He just got back from an acappella competition in Taiwan and got me 2 CDs.

The 2 CDs are from a japanese acappella group - Robstar Lobster.

  

Just started listening and if you're interested in acappella groups as well, let me know and you can get the CD from me!!

Are you into Verdana?

I was looking at some recent font design. Amazed by the importance of typography in graphic design nowdays.

So i came across this news of IKEA of switching from the signature customised typeface "Futura" to the well known "Verdana".

 

The Font War: Ikea Fans Fume over Verdana

That's why i had this weird feeling while reading through the IKEA catalogue 2010, it just appeared to be a lot more 'functional".....
