South Australia: Hahndorf German Kranski

Hahndorf is a German Village, the oldest German settlement in the whole of Australia. It is one of the most relax tourist attractions in the South Australia, focusing more on shopping and foods. Sit down, relax and have a cup of cappuccino or a glass of red wine is a wonderful experience in the small village that is located on the Adelaide hill, especially when the weather is good. No worries of the pollutants because of the wonderfully clean air on the Adelaide hill, another thing you can do is to sit down outside a shop to have a German Sausage, the Kranski, a famous sausage that have brought many tourists along. Well, it may look ordinary but it is definitely extraordinary when you taste it.

 

Great service from a friendly German guy, makes you feel like having another one. It is definitely worth a try for 6 AUD.

Apart from the Kranski, the Baked potatoes was good as well.

Sungei Wang: U Village又一村香港茶餐厅

星期天和朋友们去了Sungei Wang，特别推荐“又一村香港茶餐厅”。我们都觉得这间港式茶餐厅的食物比其他连锁茶餐厅的都要来得好。虽然不算是什么极品美食，可是也算是价廉物美了。

美秀很喜欢那里的咸鱼花腩煲。我当天点的是炒饭加蜜汁鸡肉，RM11.90。炒饭上面放了一点肉松，格外美味。翠敏之前已经吃了东西，所以只点了火腿起司三明治，可惜没有想象中的理想，还是我们学校附近的Jom Makan做得比较好吃。值得一提的是，他们的奶茶是无限量添加的哦！

Juice Works

 

看名字，就知道是间果汁专卖店。在这里能够找到各种各类的果汁，他们的果汁被分成5大类别， 有tropical paradise，berry lovers，meal replacements，weight watchers和detox juice。果汁的价钱大概是在RM6到RM16之间。其中我最喜欢他们的lychee cooler(lychee, watermelon & sorbet)。今天美秀和翠敏去Midvalley逛街，还贴心的买了一杯给我。

除了果汁以外，他们也贩卖一些小食。用水果做出来的各类三明治，还有饼干等。想减肥的小姐们不妨买来当代餐。想知道更多，请按这里。Juice Works的档口在吉隆坡的几个购物商场都能够找到：The Curve，1Utama，Midvalley，KLCC & Sunway Pyramid。希望他们也能够在新山开分行，让大家都能够品尝如此健康美味的饮品。=)

新旺香港茶餐厅 Xin Wang Hong Kong Cafe

在我离开家乡然后在新加坡樟宜机场上机前，我们一家人到了第三搭客大厦吃晚餐。
我们来到了这家新旺香港茶餐厅 Xin Wang Hong Kong Cafe。


因为分为两桌，所以就介绍我坐的那一桌所点的菜。
首先就介绍我所吃的 -- 港式云吞面 （干）。 怎么样？ 看起来是不是比外头买的云吞面还要多料呢？ 我喜欢它的面条，不算是太有嚼劲或太干和硬的那种。还有那个叉烧还蛮入味的，但就有一点不好，那就是太过于厚了。而那炸云吞也还蛮脆的。 这盘云吞面要价新币$ 6.50。






接下来就是我妹所吃的鸡蛋肉碎意大利面 （不确定是不是它的真名）。 这看起来还蛮美味的，我妹也说好吃。这意大利面差不多要新币 $ 7.00多左右。




我姐吃的是鸡蛋肉松饭。 这一盘的分量真的很大，吃完应该会很胀。 它的价钱是新币 $ 8.50左右。
除此之外，我们还点了一杯鲜橙汁，价格竟然比一杯蜂蜜绿茶还便宜，差不多是新币$ 2.90。














这家店位于新加坡樟宜机场第三搭客大厦 (Changi Airport Terminal 3)的Level 3。
我觉得比起机场内的食阁，这家店的食物还算蛮好吃的，价格也不会太贵。
食客们如有机会可以去尝尝看。

Kajang: 萧家辣汤

今天和阿姨一家来到了Kajang（加影）吃那里出名的“萧家辣汤”。到那家店果腹的食客，都是为了那里的招牌菜--辣汤慕名而来的。

辣汤里其实只有简单的两种东西，那就是芹菜还有肉。除了鸡肉以外，食客也能选择以三层肉或是猪内脏来取代。由于汤的胡椒味特别重，所以被称之为辣汤。我本身是不吃辣的，所以在尝试之前有点抗拒。可是，这汤挺特别，并不会因为胡椒粒太多而盖过了汤的鲜甜。反之，在喝下去瞬间的呛辣过后，取而代之的是甘甜的味道。吸透了鲜辣汤汁的鸡肉，肉质很嫩，却不失咬劲，虽然口感较辣，还是忍不住连吃了好几块。

除了辣汤以外，这里的咸蛋排骨也很好吃。爱吃鱼的朋友也可以尝试这里的酸甜炸鱼。猪脚醋也是不错的选择。

价钱方面，我觉得非常公道合理。我们9个人一共吃了五菜一汤，每人一碗白饭，再加上一壶茶，大概是RM120左右。

值得一提的是，8度空间的美食节目《好吃》也曾经拉队到此拍摄哦。有兴趣的朋友，不妨带亲友去试试。

Sungai Lembing: 林明的椰饼

林明距离关丹市区大约43公里，车程大约要45分钟。林明曾经是世界著名的锡矿出产地，虽然现在已经不生产锡矿了，林明还是旅客参观的景点。如果去林明，绝对不可错过那里的道地美食，其中包括了林明面、林明椰饼以及林明的山水豆腐。这些土产食品都有其独特的风味。

然而，今天我们不说面也不谈豆腐，把焦点放在椰饼上。托关丹朋友的福，让我有幸尝试到椰饼的美味。 椰饼是由面粉、椰浆、棕油、芝麻、糖等做成的。这种外形浅褐色、正方形的椰饼外层撒了芝麻和糖粉，吃起来分外地香脆，有着一种独特的古早味，非常适合拿来当零嘴。由于饼本身有着淡淡的椰香，所以配咖啡最有滋味。

在林明大街上，有一间叫“林明民兴饼家”的店家，是当地其中一间制作林明椰饼的工厂。有32片椰饼的包装，只需要RM4。这么便宜又简单好吃的椰饼，正可以当成下午茶来享用。下次如果到林明旅游，不妨买一包来试一试。地址是: AB-41Kg. Tengah, Sungai Lembing, 26200 Kuantan, Pahang Darul Makmur。

Humble Beginningsの法式千层蛋糕 Mille Crepes

不知道大家有没有听过这还蛮出名的法式千层蛋糕 -- Humble Beginnings 呢？


据说 , 这千层蛋糕是由二十层手工自制的可立饼炮制而成的, 每层可丽饼中间都放了奶油 。
有别于一般蛋糕 (如海绵 慕斯 芝士等), 它的口感是很特别的。放入口中, 最能感受到的就是好吃的奶油。
店家有推出几种不同的口味, 食客可依照各人喜好来选择。

其中比较受欢迎和基本的口味就是法式纯香草 French Vanilla 了。
我的家人都最爱吃这种口味。
除了这种之外, 我还试过金黄杏桃 Peach Passion, 草莓天堂 Strawberry Heaven 还有瑞士巧克力 Swiss Chocolate Velvet。
店家还有其它口味供选择, 也会陆续推出新的口味。
而在蛋糕上, 也可以自行选择所需要的装饰品 Toppings, 不过这可是要另外加钱的哦! 如果不想要加装饰品, 那当然也可以, 就只是略显单调了一点。
虽然这法式千层蛋糕很好吃 但价钱就有点偏高 。最基本款的法式纯香草就要RM62 (0.9KG) 或 RM82 (1.3KG)。而其它口味则是RM72 (0.9KG) 或 RM 92 (1.3KG)。记得, 以上价钱都不包括装饰品 Toppings (RM 10 - 0.9KG 或 RM12 - 1.3KG) 哦。
这家法式千层蛋糕是没有零售店的~! 他们只接受电话和上网预定, 然后在指定的地点领取或是送上门。现在也只有在新山 Johor Bahru, 八打灵再也 Petaling Jaya 和槟城 Penang 有而已哦~!
一般最好在前一天或两天前预定, 在特别节日 (如情人节 双亲节 圣诞节等) 可是要一星期前预定。
除了法式千层蛋糕, 他们也有一般那种的蛋糕 (如芝士蛋糕)。详情可上这里查询或致电到 012-6358035 (JB), 017-2458035 (KL/PJ) 或 012-4858035 (Pg)。
最后, 希望大家试过后会喜欢哦~ =)

Taiwan: Meet Fresh 鲜芋仙

首贴先来介绍台湾最大的甜点连锁店：鲜芋仙。鲜芋仙自创业至今，在台湾已经有超过一百家分店。“新鲜”、“现做”、“现煮”、“现卖”，提供最优质的甜品与养生圣品，是鲜芋仙精致甜品专卖店的开店理念。在优雅不失时尚风的现代感店内用餐，享受着勾起童时怀念味道的甜品，如同店名“鲜芋仙”般的幸福。

话说我自2008年12月第一次亲自尝了鲜芋仙的甜品后，就久久不能忘怀。当中的滋味只有亲自尝的人才能感受得到。

去鲜芋仙，一定不能错过他们手工制作的芋圆。芋圆是什么？它是以地瓜或芋头蒸熟后压成泥，加上地瓜粉和水拌匀成团，揉搓成长条形再切成小块，放入沸水中煮至浮起即成地瓜圆。

大家如果去台湾，推荐大家品尝“鲜芋仙招牌”（仙草冻+仙草冰沙+芋圆+鲜奶油），一大碗只要50台币，大约是RM5。芋圆软Q软Q，仙草香滑顺喉，一定能够带给大家最棒的味蕾享受。
