朝聖之旅 – 堂本麵包店 Domoto Bakery Store
好一段時間沒有寫過烘焙有關的分享。還記得 2018 年尾臺灣之旅我拜訪了三間神級的烘焙店，之後也寫過兩篇朝聖之旅的文章，隨後因忙於攪自己的食店，第三篇被擱置一旁，今天就讓我為這個朝聖之旅系列來個終結吧！

Things To Do In My Next Visit to Taiwan 下次到台灣應該做甚麼？
自今年二月初暫停外國人士入境，台灣政府會於明天（6月29日）開始放寬符合特定條件的人士入台，此階段主要是基於商務及依親的需要，相信旅遊入境稍後亦會恢復。
上次到台灣是今年一月中，轉眼間又差不多半年了，心裏有點癢，希望盡快可以再回去探朋友及遊灠。在家數月，閒來上網也留意到很多台灣相關的資訊，先來個整理，為稍後再到台灣作好準備。
Status Update • Flash Visit to Taipei 狀態更新 • 快閃台北
It’s been quite a long time since I published my last blog post, 318 days to be exact.
2019 has been a busy and wonderful year to me where I have the chance to explore and learn so many things that I have never dreamt before. I am so lucky to have fully recovered, much stronger than before my cardiac operation. In addition, I also have the luxury to setup and run my own small cafe.
已經很久沒有更新過我的網誌，細數一下也有318天，究竟發生了甚麽事呢？
對我來説剛過去的2019可算是豊盛的一年。身體康復得非常之快，狀態可算是比心臓手術前更佳。另一方面，亦有幸可以擁有我的小型食店。
Flash Travel – Tainan 快閃台南
n our past holiday travels, I would usually prepare detailed itinerary for the trip. However, as my boy is getting older, he has his own expectation on the travel and the places for our visit may change from time to time. As such, nowadays, I only planned for the flights and accommodations, the rest of the trip will only be worked out during the trip.
In my recent Taipei/Kaohsiung trip, we had made a flash travel to Tainan.
以往到外地旅行，事前總會作極詳盡的行程編排，隨著小朋友日漸長大，多了些他自己的意願，想去的地方也會隨時改變，因此我也只會安排交通住宿，其他的行程到時才決定。
像剛過去的台北、高雄之旅，我們也作了一次台南快閃行動。
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.
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。
週3聚樂部─羅大佑與音樂瘋子的傳奇派對
住在台北的老同學早前在面書上分享了羅大佑與音樂瘋子的傳奇派對音樂會。這個由羅大佑和王治平携手合作的Live Show，除了讓大家回味他過往的作品外，也提供一個平台給年輕樂團和樂手作表演。音樂會安排在每月最後的一個星期三晚上。
碰巧十二月份的表演日子，我和其他舊同學一行三人仍在台北，當然不想錯過這難得的機會。
Bohemian Rhapsody 波希米亞狂想曲
Can’t remember how long I have not watched a movie in the theatre. Yesterday, I went with my friends to Vieshow Cinemas Taipei Xinyi to watch Bohemian Rhapsody, a documentary on the rock band Queen and the lead singer Freddie Mercury.
A Bite of Fine Dining in Kaohsiung
Kaohsiung, the third biggest city of Taiwan, is not only famous for its port, night markets, food, prettiest metro stations and enormous public artwork, but also the emerging scene of fine dining.
During our bike ride in Kaohsiung in late March, we had a chance to be the guests of our closed friends, at one of the great restaurants, the LA ONE Kitchen & Bakery.
Kaohsiung Metro Train Services
During my stay in Kaohsiung, the Rapid Transit System (RTS) or “高雄都會區大眾捷運系統” is the major means of transportation in the Metro area.
Despite the history of the Kaohsiung Metro train services is relatively short, there are some interesting facts that I can share with you.
Kaohsiung Giant/Liv Bike Shops Visit
For our holiday rides in Kaohsiung, we have not bought along our road bikes. Instead, I have made and advanced booking with local Giant bike shop in Kaohsiung via their Facebook Fans page.
