🧊冰室是否屬於香港？/ ｜雖然｜冰室這個詞可能並不是由香港創造，｜但是｜港式冰室是屬於香港的。 冰室與廣州或上海的冰廳相類似，同樣是東西文化交匯的產物，會售賣冷飲及雪糕等小食，但兩者有著關鍵性的分別。港式冰室的 #Kongcept 源自香港的獨特環境和社會狀況，而內容亦與廣州的冰室有所不同，當中涉及以下的題目： 1）英式下午茶文化和英式咖啡室； 2）製冰業的興起； 3）香港自創的Fusion飲食 🇭🇰冰室起源/ 港式冰室於戰後的香港興起，冰室早期的主要客源為受西方文化薰陶的白領。港式冰室的起源可以追溯到英國維多利亞時代，當時的Coffee Shop及Tea House如雨後春筍般開業，加上製冰技術面世，英國的下午茶文化以及咖啡廳形式漸漸傳到香港，平民咖啡室因而出現 - #港式冰室。聽說最早的冰室出現於20年代，但資料已經難以追尋，只知道由40年代開始廣為人知，而50-60年代為冰室的盛世。 早港英時期，西式餐點只能在稱為「西菜館」或「餐室」的高級西式餐廳嚐到，價錢非一般人能承擔。直至二次大戰後，市民對西式食品的好奇，引致40年代初「冰室」的冒起，提供價錢較便宜的「彷西式食品」。由於冰室只持有市政局辦發的「小食菜館牌照」（小牌），只可以提供飲品和輕食如三文治，不能明火賣飯。有一些冰室更會配搭烘製麵包拍照。 🧊何謂啊「冰」？最緊要正/ 舊時候的廣州很流行「飲冰」這個詞，意指「喝冷飲」，而喝冷飲的店便稱之為「冰室」，據說名字背後與清未民初的中國思想家梁啟亦有關...詳情暫且不說。回望香港，其實除了冰室，還有相類似的業務被稱為咖啡店、咖啡廳、茶冰室等等，象徵著一樣的 #kongcept 。除了仿西方咖啡室外，與香港的社會狀況亦有密切關係，舊時候一般香港家庭負擔不起冷氣機或雪櫃的價錢 ，香港的冰室見機創造了各種冰凍飲品如紅豆冰作為招徠，再配上天花板的大吊扇為客人送爽。所以冰室曾經算是一種較高級的場所，屬於香港人的一種優雅生活態度～ 下回續...🔔 Bing Sutt - A blend of Western and Eastern culture/ The word-for-word translation of Bing Sutt is “Ice Room”; it, traditionally, is only allowed to serve drinks and light meals due to its license. It is characterised by its hanging fans, iced drinks, and Eastern-Western fused beverages and foods. It began by targeting white-collar workers who were fascinated by the Western culture. Tracing back to the Victorian era in England, when the advent of ice making technology, the British afternoon tea culture, and coffee shops have spread to HK. The HK-style ice room imitates the high-end cafe in the western restaurant. They have been widely known since the 1940s, and the 50-60s were the flourishing age of Bing Sutt. In the early days of British-HK, Western style meals can only be tasted in high-end Western-style restaurants and the price was not affordable for ordinary civilians. Until the Second World War, the public's curiosity about Western-style food led to the emergence of "Bing Sutt" in the early 1940s, creating a series of fusion food & beverages that fit the locals’ appetite, acting as cheaper alternatives to western-style food. Bing Sutt is named when the average family cannot afford to pay for an air conditioner or refrigerator. To be continued…🔔 📸: @mr_nkf

#我港生活 #lifestyle_kongcept 豆豉與鯪魚的邂逅/ 隔離期間食太多午餐肉？由細食到大嘅豆豉鯪魚呢？1893年，第一罐豆豉鯪魚在廣洲廣茂香罐頭廠面世。這可追溯十九世紀時，依水為生的珠三角勞工，偶然發現鯪魚的甘鮮和豆豉的咸香十分配合。豆豉、鯪魚和調味料的配方一直長相廂守至今，你能想像一樣的味道能流傳百年嗎？ 雖說豆豉鯪魚起源於廣州，但絕對不輸午餐肉的「頹人恩物」，美味的鯪魚加上豆豉汁撈飯可能是很多香港人的日常，它的味道也讓很多移居外國的香港人回憶家鄉的感覺。在疫情如此嚴重的時刻，跨境運輸的阻礙更令它的價錢一度上調至💰50元！！！祝願大家仍能在超市找到罐豆豉鯪魚😂 百年不變的制作方法/ 豆豉味滲進魚肉，魚汁浸泡豆豉，互為融合，但其實制作過程中，豆豉和魚是入罐後才相遇的。首先將豆豉入罐，再把解凍好的魚乾和調料液里浸泡一定時間，他倆才能相遇，最後注入精煉豆油。一罐豆豉鯪魚在高溫消毒後便成香氣與味覺滿分的完成品。 The encounter of tempeh and dace/ Beside spam, canned “Dace in Tempeh” is an other top can food in Hong Kong. In 1893, the first can was launched at a factory named 廣茂香 in Guangzhou. Tracing back to the 19th century, when workers in the Pearl River Delta who depended on the water for a living, accidentally discovered that the sweetness of dace and the salty aroma of tempeh go very well together. Then the recipe passed down for a hundred years… Although Dace in Tempeh originated in Guangzhou, having a bite of delicious Dace in Tempeh with rice is the daily life of many Hongkongers and the taste of it may even recall the feeling of home when you away. Nevertheles, its price increased to 💰HKD50 per because of cross-border transportation issue. Hope that everyone can still find cans of Dace in Tempeh in the supermarket 😂 The production method that has not changed for a hundred years / First put the tempeh in the can, then soak the thawed dried fish and seasoning liquid for a certain period of time before they are canned together, and finally inject refined soybean oil. After a can of tempeh dace is sterilized at high temperature, it becomes a finished product with perfect aroma and taste.

品味奶茶🏝️Luxurious Milk Tea 習以為常的錯/ 有時候對茶餐廳不能要求太多，但有一杯好飲的絲襪奶茶絕對係點綴！ 絲襪奶茶已有多年歷史，由50年代藍領階層的恩物變成照顧全香港市民的獨特文化。發展至今，絲襪奶茶於香港已經隨處可見，不論是日式餐廳或以港式奶茶為招徠的店鋪層出不窮，奶茶雪糕，奶茶爆谷，奶茶味乳清蛋白…縱使有金茶王大賽或港式奶茶機械人等相關事物，但針對奶茶本身的發展還是較遜色。「絲襪奶茶已是香港最多人喝的飲品，你還要求什麼？」，無可否認，香港人每年對奶茶的消耗量高達9億杯，但習以為常換來的會是價值的下降和冷漠的對待，比起作為一杯跟餐的免費飲品，絲襪奶茶值得擁有更多。 絲襪奶茶的調配很講求多階段的技巧，一沖、二焗、三撞、四回溫為基本的沖茶步驟。作為靈魂的茶膽則以三到六種不同粗幼的茶葉拼成，粗茶香氣濃郁而茶色清澈；幼茶色澤較深而茶味最濃；至於中粗茶的質素則較平均，用作平衡茶膽。箇中的學問為此飲品增添了一定的價值，有很大的進步和發展空間。或許絲襪奶茶可以代替咖啡，成為你和我的生活品味，手工絲襪奶茶店於世界偏地開花亦非空想。先生小姐，請問想要咖啡或茶? Taste of HK Lifestyle/ Silk Stocking Milk Tea has now become the most famous and sometimes complimentary beverage in Hong Kong, from the energy drink for blue-collar workers in the 50s to a necessity for every Hong Konger. In recent years, it even bloomed as a gimmick in different areas, silk stocking milk tea flavoured ice-ream, popcorn, whey protein powder, the sky is the limit. However, the study and development of the milk tea itself are lost behind, despite there are even related competitions such as the KamCha. Although Hong Kongers drinks 900million milk tea every year, it is actually being treated as a super ordinary drink as people don't value the things they get for free. Making a decent cup of Silk Stocking Milk Tea requires different techniques, with proper blending and selection of tea leaves and evaporated milk, you enjoy the perfect balanced milk-rich layers of tastes. Silk Stocking Milk Tea has a high potential, decent cupping and tasting are granted, let us stay tuned for the bloom of Silk Stocking Milk Tea industry.
