Kaiseki Cuisine fit for an emporer
去年到日本旅行，其中兩晚租住較豪華的旅館。 旅館只有六間房間，全部都是幾百年老的房子， 以前日皇也曾經到訪。一泊兩吃，晚餐和早餐都吃懷石料理。 廚師是旅館的第五代接班人。一位年青的小伙子，卻煮出一 頓一頓極精緻的懷石料理。 兩晚的菜式都不一樣， 每一度菜，從前菜主菜到甜點， 都為我帶來無限驚喜。 完全是一個色香味俱全的旅程。 Today I’m going to flood my post with gourment food, or…

From Bamboo to Bambooshoots
繼續苗栗縣鼻象古道遠足。四個小時後從深山走出來，終於重見天日，以為下山之路近在咫尺。萬萬想不到原來前面不是下山之路，而是一片讓我眼前一亮的竹林。日本嵐山竹林是京都旅遊必去的景點。那裡真的很美，但實在太多人，像市集一樣，大煞風景。象鼻古道的竹林雖然沒嵐山那麼壯觀，但沒其他人，只有大自然，絕對是秘景。 It took me nearly four hours to walk out from the bamboo forest in the wildest mountain I’ve hiked…

2019 Dajia Mazu Parade
一年一度的台灣大甲媽祖巡遊，上星期完滿結束。當天是星期二，又下著毛毛雨，人群明顯比去年少。 儘管如此，還是很熱鬧，大家可以看看我的影片。我還加插一段去年拍，但一直沒有機會分享的片。我覺得這個環節非常特別，請大家欣賞。 Last week was the last day of the 2019 Dajia Mazu procession, one of the, if not the…
