Life of A & B

地址：旺角彌敦道 620-628 號瓊華中心 5 樓 電話：2395 2730 星期六下午近1500來到餐廳，無需等位便可內進。 數款下午茶餐可供選揀，每款$48, 加$6可無限添飲特式飲料,另加$10送小食一款。 我們點了兩個下午茶餐，每枱也有一大樽檸檬水，而每個餐份量也很大，所以沒有加配飲料或小食。 下午茶套餐均送韓式清湯，泡菜，海帶及炑八沙律。 清湯感覺像味精湯，湯內有幾點肉碎，只吃了那一丁點肉，沒有把清喝完，飲檸檬水好像較健康。 泡菜不太辣，對我來說酸辣度剛好，很易入口。 海帶浸在水中，微酸，不錯。 米八沙律，沙律菜配適量麻醬。雖然味道很好，但份量超大，較難一個人完成。我看到待應收拾其他餐桌時把整碟沙律倒了，真的很浪費。 1號餐：雞肉年糕湯面 這個湯麵其實是雞肉公仔麵加上年糕片。 經醃制過的雞肉帶有點點甜味。 雖然年糕片本身沒有味道，但配上濃濃的味精湯，煙煙勒勒的，味道和口感都還可以。 至於那個公仔麵，份量頗多，但我吃不出它是否韓式公仔麵。 碗中還有一些菜配料，當中包括紫菜，這些紫菜碎好像由當作零食的韓國紫菜弄碎而來。 2號餐：鐵板LA骨飯 這個飯以鐵板上桌，熱呼呼的。 LA骨即牛仔骨，配上香濃黑椒味，就像吃Papper Lunch一樣。 本來很想試試$10的小吃，但這個套餐的份量就如晚餐一樣，已吃不下小吃了。 雖然$48一個下午茶餐是貴了一點，但以份量和款式來說，性價比超高。 唯一的缺點就是嘈了一點。

Many high-level positions in companies are filled by men even though the workforce in many developed countries is more than 50 per cent female.

Furthermore, there are those, notably environmentalists, who contend that burning fossil fuels is the culprit of global warming.

Without the inexpensive cost advantage, undoubtedly, governments’ preferences on promoting renewable energy sources are expected. From another stance, it is widely acknowledged that renewable energy sources are environmentally fri...

In today’s competitive world, many families find it necessary for both parents to go out to work. While some say the children in these families benefit from additional income, others feel they lack support because of their parents’ absence.

中環閣麟街 32-34 號美輪樓地下 C 號舖 電話：2117 4123 本來打算到吉野家試食上月底新出的芝士雞窩，誰不知已全線停售。 轉了吃韓國餐廳－ 韓韓館 部隊鍋是這家餐廳主打，而且價錢合理，百多元便可享用二人份量。 本人對部隊鍋一點興趣都沒有，我們點了推介菜－芝士炒排骨及蒜香海老帶子飯。 芝士炒排骨 ($138) 剛上桌時排得很整齊的，及後，待應把鍋底的洋葱及芝士反了點上來，並說待一會芝士便會溶。 它的辣不是來自泡菜或辣醬，而是胡椒，因此辣得格外香。 排骨很淋，炆得夠入味，配上胡椒芝士及洋葱，伴飯吃一流。 蒜香海老帶子飯 ($88) 在這些餐廳吃海鮮當然是急凍貨試，但沒想到它們上桌時份然是凍的。 雖然有濃濃蒜香，但仍有點失望。 餐廳裝修陳舊，卡位的椅皮已破損，洗水間的水龍頭也是壞的。

地址：銅鑼灣告士打道 280 號世貿中心 6 樓 電話：2881 5757 是次到Mr. Steak享用自助晚餐，聽說這家餐廳的自助餐質素高，但每次想到價錢這個問題便卻步了。 我們食量不大，每人一餐要五百多元，實在太貴了。 就著豐信用卡的優惠-四人同行，一人免費，就來試一次。 即日訂枱於星期日晚上1930時段入坐，因較遲訂枱，須坐近門口位置。 1930這個時段的自助餐所提供的食物種類最多，價錢亦最貴的。 食物方面，好味的東西如下： 開邊凍龍蝦-約手掌大，肉質爽口，部份有鮮橙色的膏。 凍麵包蟹-蟹蓋已有很多膏。 凍長腳蟹-鹹度適中，啖啖肉。 凍青口-青口一般都沒有什麼味道，但我覺得這裏的青口頗香甜，有點意外。 帶子刺身-鮮甜大片。 自助餐的刺身一般都要排隊才有，但這家的刺身師父未免太吝嗇吧，我點了帶子，赤貝及鯛魚刺身，她只給我一粒帶子和一片赤貝，三片鯛魚。 芝士波-用芝士包著一粒甜甜的提子，外層沾了芝麻，鹹甜適中，是有趣好味的小食。 羊腩煲-羊肉炆得又淋又入味，配上腐乳，拍得住大牌檔。 豬腳薑-不會太甜，豬腳亦多肉，不會皮包骨。 牛肉壽喜燒-來自日本九州的牛牛，薄薄一片，醬汁香甜。 燒羊架-這個較少失手的菜式，不會過熟及過生，肥瘦適中。 北海道牛乳布甸-應該用上3.6北海道牛乳，入口香滑，超濃奶味。 心太軟-聽說是這裏的招牌菜式，熱烘烘，內裏充滿朱古力醬。甜品師父亦會應客人要求在碟上填上字句及繪圖。 但一件令人失望的事發生了： 由於食客眾多，客人須要將所填字句寫在紙上，師父會續一完成。 我等了很久也看不到屬於我的心太軟，碰巧看到師父手上剛完成的紙是我寫的字，但不知被誰刪了改做自己的句子。 很可惡，小時候便聽人說香港人最愛排隊，排隊守規以往都是香港人的美得，不知被誰破壞了美譽。 幸好師父得知後亦立刻幫我繪一個。 沒提及的食物水準一般吧，但有以下這些可免則免： 片皮鴨-鴨還好吧，但它的皮（白色那片）是涼的，而且超及硬，用牙也咬不開。 韓牛-雖說是自助餐的其中一道主打菜式，但煮得太熟了，而且沒有牛味，只有肉的質感。 其實在這裏做待應和洗碗的都很辛苦，很多又大又重的碟要搬和洗。 平日吃自助餐都習慣把自己的碟重用，但...

Today, the high sales of popular consumer goods reflect the power of advertising and not the real needs of the society in which they are sold. To what extend do you agree or disagree?

Needless to say, youngsters purchase these products impulsively and are obvious to the necessity of buying these items. Hence, the green generations spend plenty of their disposable income on products advertised by their favourite singers or actors in order to give support to their idols. From another stance, sterling quality and appealin...

Is freedom of speech necessary in a free society? In former times, freedom of speech was strictly constricted for the benefit of counties’ development. Nonetheless, there are those who contend that freedom of speech is the unique means for improving a free society. In this sense, whether freedom of speech is consistently detrimental to countries’ development is yet to be ascertained. From one stance, politicians take advantage of freedom of speech to slander their opponents in the legislative council which undermines the efficiency of their meetings. To illustrate, a member of the council rejects an agenda proposed based on a rumour that the member proposing the agenda is having beneficial connections with a corporation, irrespective of the positive outcome it may be brought. Evidently, freedom of speech becomes a hindrance of countries’ development. From another stance, freedom of speech incites the general public to fight for their right. In former times, employees work...

In like manner, as teachers are in charge of different subjects, they consistently fail to fatho...

Some people believe that there should be fixed punishments for each type of crime. Others, however, argue that the circumstances of an individual crime, and the motivation for committing it, should always be taken into account when deciding on the punishment. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion. The recent decades have witnessed an ever-increasing concern about punishments of each type of crime. Nonetheless, a staggering number of individuals insist that punishments should be subject to certain considerations. In this sense, whether a fixed punishment for each type of crime is beneficial or detrimental to the general public is yet to be ascertained. First and foremost, the deterring effect of fixed punishments convinces potential-criminals to reconsider their act. It is imperative to let the general public realise the punishment that they would receive. Hence, being imprisoned, criminals lose their freedom, which prevents potential law-breakers from committing o...

在西貢市中心巴士總站搭乘94號巴士於西貢戶外訓練營下車。 沿馬路靠左向黃石方向走約幾分鐘，便會看到左邊有一條上山的樓梯，這便是是人登山路線的起步點。 開始路段樓梯較多，而且沒有樹陰遮擋，但好處是景觀開揚，可看到西貢對出的其他島嶼，如橋咀，牛尾等。 走過開段的樓梯後，後段則較多樹陰，部份路段較顛簸或多碎石，行走時要格外小心。 這段路較少健行者，我們行山途中只遇到幾名登山者。 走至鯽魚湖及北潭涌分岐路時，打算順道到鯽魚湖看看。 沿指示直行卻走到馬路口，並且是94號巴士途經路段，因此放棄步行至北潭涌，就在鯽魚湖站等巴士回市中心。 長假期最後一天下午，較多遊人由黃石回到市中心，我們等了兩架巴士才可迫上車。 我覺得九巴的手機應用程式很完善，為市民著想。 只要打開九巴App, 搜尋所需路線，便可得知該巴士將會於多久到達某車站。 若新巴或城巴都有此服務便好了。

Levels of youth crime are increasingly rapidly in most cities around the world. What are the reasons for this, and suggest some solutions. The recent decades have witnessed increasing concerns about juvenile delinquency in certain countries. There are those who contend that adolescents lack a role model, which easily leads them astray by detrimental influences including drugs and crime. In this sense, whether governments should provide more support for families are beneficial to deter youngster from committing crime is yet to be ascertained. First and foremost, being brought up in single-parent families, adolescents often commit offences. Without a role model as guidance, youngster, notably boys, always hang around with teenagers who share a similar family background and find their own entertainment. Needless to say, crime is one of the forms of entertainment they would have. Nevertheless, having a father acting as a role model, youngsters can come to realisation that crime sh...
