岩浪日菜

昨晚與外子約了 sillyshopgirl 夫婦吃晚飯，地點是銅鑼灣的 "岩浪" 日菜。

經店子推介，點了 special set 試試！


先來是賣相非常精緻的頭盤：




伴酒一流的枝豆：


上佳的剌身 ...... 很久未有嚐過如此接近在日本當地吃過般的鮮、甜、嫩！

很可愛的茶壺湯 ：

豬肉湯煮：

一系列的 tempura......外皮香脆、內裡甜美！

吃過 tempura 後，來了沙津清新一下味蕾：

主菜男士們點了 "創意壽司" 兩客：

sillyshopgirl 和我則選了 tempura 蝦餅飯 - 好好味！

最後，當然少了為晚飯寫上完美句號的甜品 - 四款自選日式雪糕：

一直覺得 "吃" 是人生中一大快事。小時讀過一篇Nixon Waterman的英文詩歌 "If we didn't have to eat"，當中指 "吃" 佔去了人生很多......

Life would be an easy matter

If we didn't have to eat.

If we never had to utter,

"Won't you pass the bread and butter,

Likewise push along that platter

Full of meat?"

Yes, if food were obsolete

Life would be a jolly treat,

If we didn't--shine or shower,

Old or young, 'bout every hour--

Have to eat, eat, eat, eat, eat--

'Twould be jolly if we didn't have to eat.

We could save a lot of money

If we didn't have to eat.

Could we cease our busy buying,

Baking, broiling, brewing, frying,

Life would then be oh, so sunny

And complete;

And we wouldn't fear to greet

Every grocer in the street

If we didn't--man and woman,

Every hungry, helpless human--

Have to eat, eat, eat, eat, eat--

We'd save money if we didn't have to eat.

All our worry would be over

If we didn't have to eat.

Would the butcher, baker, grocer

Get our hard-earned dollars? No, Sir!

We would then be right in clover

Cool and sweet.

Want and hunger we could cheat,

And we'd get there with both feet,

If we didn't--poor or wealthy,

Halt or nimble, sick or healthy--

Have to eat, eat, eat, eat, eat,

We could get there if we didn't have to eat.

推斷作者大概並不十分欣賞 "吃" 罷？！

也許不用 "吃" 的人生能為我們減少很多金錢的支出，也可減少很多用來吃飯的時間；但同時也自然失去了 "吃" 能帶來的歡愉和感動......

細心地想："吃" 固然給我味覺上的享受與滿足，但是，我更享受的是 - 與友人們同行會聚時天南地北的時光。一頓快樂的餐聚於己而言， "人物" 是主， "美食" 是副......
