小豬豬麵包 Little Piggy Bakery
筲箕灣是港島東一個舊區，是昔日一個魚港，人口相對港島東其他地區較為老化。隨著社區重建，新的住宅相繼落成，也為社區年輕化帶來一點動力。
今次我帶大家去看看區內一間較年輕的社區麵包店 – 小豬豬麵包。
Shau Kei Wan is located in the eastern part of the Hong Kong Island. In the old days, it was a fishing village and aging population is one of the its major concerns among other districts in the eastern Hong Kong Island. Along with recent city redevelopment projects, new residential buildings are erected which help to build up a more energetic community.
I would like to take you to a tour of a relatively young community bakery shop – Little Piggy Bakery.
Boulangerie Nogami 朝聖之旅 – 野上麵包
九月中在醫院留醫時，好朋友為我帶來兩本烘焙書籍。一本是「火頭工」，早前也寫過我的讀後感；另一本是「野上智寛的麵包全圖解」，全書主要圍繞著他自家麵包的製作技巧，雖然尚未讀完，但十二月中在台北的時候，也要走去觀摩一下。
If you still remembered that my classmate had got me two baking books while I was staying in the hospital, one of them is the “火頭工”, of which I had a review on it. The other one is the “野上智寛的麵包全圖解”, a book focusing on the recipe and baking techniques for breads sold in his bakery – Boulangerie Nogami. Despite I have not completed reading it, I was still eager to visit Boulangerie Nogami while I was in Taipei in last December.
My Homemade Pain de Campagne 自家製鄉村麵包
不經不覺已有數個月沒做過麵包，隨著身體康復得七七八八，決定要練習一下了。
I have not baked any bread for several months since I had my surgery. As my recovery is good and it is time for practising baking now.
Short Hiking Trip & Leisure Space in the Heart of the City 短程行山路線與鬧市中的悠閒空間
非假日的行山路線，我們都會集中在港島區的短程路線，這樣會有較充裕的時間接送家中小孩下課。像近期行過好幾次的金督馳馬徑便是其中一個很好的選擇。
Our weekday hiking routes are normally focused around those short trails in the Hong Kong Island where we can have adequate time to pick up our little boy after school. The Sir Cecil’s Ride located in the eastern part of the Hong Kong Island that we hiked recently is one of the great choices.
Wheatie Bakery 麥典坊手感烘焙
午後獨自出外取回已維修好的手提電腦。一切安頓好後，步行到天后，準備乘搭巴士回家。在英皇道與留仙街口見到一間頗雅緻的麵包店 – 麥典坊手感烘焙。
I went out after lunch to pick up my notebook computer from the repair shop. When everything was settled, I walked to Tin Hau and prepared to go home by bus. Right at the junction between King’s Road and Lau Sin Street, an elegant bakery caught my attention – Wheatie Bakery.
Local Bakeries in Hong Kong
I like to visit bakeries when I’m having overseas tours. This not only allowed me to enjoy tasty breads, pastries and wonderful shop decorations, but also gave me a chance to experience various bread that are local to the place.
Recalled that I have written several posts on those bakery stores that I had visited, however, seems like I have none for bakeries in Hong Kong. Starting in 2019, I would like to spend some efforts on all those local bakeries that I have visited and tasted their breads.
到外地旅遊很多時都會留意麵包店，除可嘗試到各式麵包美食和店舖的特色裝修外，也可體驗各地特式麵包。
之前寫過數編以此作主題的貼文，但卻從沒有關注過自己日常生活的香港，2019年就來個本土麵包店的廵禮吧。
Number One 麵包西餅
Got some free time this morning and is great for another short hiking trip in Mount Parker. Before starting the trip, I went to NumberOne bakery to buy my breakfast.
今天早上有點空閒時間，又到柏架山作一個短途行山。出發前有點餓，就在入囗處附近的 Number One 麵包西餅買個麵包充飢。
First Encounter of YouBike 微笑單車的初邂逅
You may be surprised that I have not ridden any YouBike before despite that I have been to Taipei a number of times. The main reason is that I don’t have Easycard nor local phone number. For security reason, I also don’t want to use my credit card for one-time bike rental as well.
去過台北好幾次，但從來也未騎過微笑單車(YouBike)。主要原因是我沒有悠遊卡和台灣當地的電話號碼，無法作會員登記。另一方面，基於保安理由，我又不想使用信用卡作單次租車。
