R的倫敦日常

I intend to cook something easier after making the roast pork belly, and luckily I can buy the fresh clams ( 100% they were from Billingsgate Market!), then I made a decision on cooking the spaghetti with clams and white wine sauce, it's easy! I added some spicy red pepper which enhanced the flavor as well. They are so tasty and I truly know what's the meaning of practice makes perfect now. 

那天我在漁檔買到新鮮蜆,承惠£12 - 1Kg。讓我很懷念在Billingsgate Fish Market的新鮮海鮮,種類多而且很便宜,只是要朝早7時要去買.........:( 但我已滿足了!
對了,還有南瓜湯。

It was not in my plan to visit Château de Versailles before I knew that my mom wanted to go. It was glad that I did enough shopping on the day before, so let's go!

After having a proper Parisian breakfast ( I though it was!), then we took metro and transferred bus No. 171 from Pont de Sèvres and got off at the last station. It took us an hour to arrive the palace.

We queued around 40 minutes to enter to the palace and I don't mind as it was summer time and I love sunshine! We bought the basic tickets which allowed us visiting the palace and part of garden? I forgot because we didn't have a walk in the garden.

Highly recommend to book tickets in advance to save the queuing time!

是次巴黎3日2夜快閃之旅原本沒有安排去凡爾賽宮,因為它在巴黎近郊,要花上一天的時間。但媽媽真的很落力推介凡爾賽宮,決定早去早回!

早上也忘了幾點出門,但我們堅持,早餐的重要性!我記得4個人的早餐花了32歐....早餐後坐Métro 9到Pont de Sèvres再轉巴士171,共一小時左右吧。

在遠處就已經看見人山人海,而我們也沒有預先上網購票,最後約40分鐘後就入去了,而我們買的票只能參觀皇宮和某部份花園。畢竟,我還要回市中心購物啊!

凡爾賽宮真的大到無朋友、宏偉、華麗、金碧輝煌,和我平時在英國看的皇宮風格截然不同。如果要走訪整個凡爾賽宮真的要花兩天!最後在出口看見花園有種終於完結的感覺!任務完成!

I made a HK style roast pork belly few days ago, which was very delicious and the pigskin was so crispy!
The roast pork was not difficult to make it, only you had to pay attention to the time.

Basically I followed the receipt from here:
脆皮燒肉【自家烤製】 Crispy Roast Pork Belly

And she's right, after cooking this roast pork, we definitely have to clear the oven!

Located in Paris 15th distrct, the Maine-Montparnasse Tour is the 17th highest building in Europe, and you can admire the whole Paris at the top of this building, and this time I was so glad that we could have a dinner here!

90% of our bookings were made from TheFork, including Le Ciel De Paris at the 56th floor, TheFork is so convenient which we don't have to worry about the meal.

If you don't want to have a meal there you can visit its observation deck which offers a 360 degree spectacular view of Paris.

I can say the food is average and I can feel the waiters want us to leave immediately once we had finished our courses since someone was queuing.

The view to Paris is perfect and we saw a sunset in the restaurant and watched the lights of Eiffel Tower to be turned on. The experience was unique and I'm obsessed with Paris all the time!

蒙帕納斯大樓位於巴黎的第15區,有著辦公室、觀景台和餐廳Le Ciel De Paris,可以在最高處欣賞巴黎這個城市,我們被安排在窗邊位置,面對著巴黎埃菲爾鐵塔。此刻我才能確認自己身處巴黎,未食先醉。

是次3日2夜快閃之旅全靠Uber和TheFork,交通及食飯都安排妥當。這間餐廳食物正常,最大賣點是可以從高處看到巴黎全景,看著埃菲爾鐵塔的燈亮起來。但侍應們的上菜速度之快和好想我們快點走的眼神,又令我再一次懷疑我是否真的在巴黎。
嘻...最後4人買單350歐元,之後便出發去夜遊埃菲爾鐵塔。

10月份正式踏入秋天,整個倫敦也充滿著秋天情懷,但對我來講現在已是冬天!
這次不想離開倫敦,又想遠離城市生活,便去到位於Zone 2 的Hampstead富人區,
那裡有著濃厚的英式鄉村風味,街上兩旁有很多特色古董小店和咖啡店,附近的Parliament Hill 更可欣賞整個倫敦,在城市也可以漫活。

由電話亭改裝成為賣咖啡的地方

天啊!這所房子真的太可愛了!

真的好想走入去看看


秋天(已去到即使有太陽也很冷的季節)

倫敦又到了風大雨大的秋季,
趁著有太陽的週末到Strawberry Hill郊遊,光聽名字就覺得很可愛。
那裡有St. Mary University,
大學旁邊有個哥德式的小城堡Strawberry Hill House,
小城堡的主人名字是Horace Walpole,
我大概知道他是英國首任首相的兒子,同時是個政治家和作家,
在夏天的時候他會從倫敦來到這小城堡渡假和寫作。
他的家在輾轉被買賣後最後成為文化遺產並翻新供人欣賞。
而城堡內很多房間的設計靈感來自於英國不同教堂如York Minister、Canterbury Cathedral和Westminster Abbey。





到底倫敦郊區有多少個Summer House....

Strawberry Hill屬於Zone 5,從Richmond坐火車約10分鐘,他遠離市區,是我喜歡的英式小鄉鎮(馬上再搜搜房屋價格 XD)。

有興趣的可以去看看--> Strawberry Hill House

剛過去的星期日去到Columbia Road Flower Market,
這個位於倫敦Brick Lane附近的market跟旺角花墟一樣人山人海,
可能去拍照的人比買花的人還要更多!

10月份仍然有很多繡球花,3個£10,看見就讓人忍不住想買了!

另一方面他們把很多已成乾花的繡球花掛在帳篷,很有聖誕節氣氛!好想要!

除花和植物以外,market還有很多特色小店,
這次讓我發現原來平時會逛的茶具店入面有間Tea Room - Cake Hole。
他的蛋糕和cream tea也很不錯呢!


由於market只在星期日的8am-2pm對外開放,想買花的人真的...要早點起床!

如果星期日會在倫敦旅行的人記得要去! 逛完後還可以到Brick Lane Sunday Up Market繼續買!:P

It was my first visit to Venice and I can feel the city of love apart from Paris.

Everything was so romantic, and it was the first experience to take ferry all the time as only the river to connect the city.
                           



Also we went to Burano Island  - one of the most colourful island in the world?!
I thought I took thousands of photos as they were so lovely!!I would love to live in one of these colourful houses!









Dreaming of when I will go back.......
