☕️🧇 上回提到，冰室和茶餐廳之間的分別，早期兩者連牌照上也有所不同。今次我們嘗試拆解現時最常見的可供堂食的兩種飲食牌照。 「細牌」/ 當時冰室的牌照與現時小食食肆牌照類似，俗稱「細牌」，與普通食肆牌照一樣可以堂食，但只可售賣《⼩⻝⻝肆獲准烹製及售賣的⻝物》內所列明的“已預先製作”的⻝物。持有細牌的食肆只准烹製及售賣被規定的六種類内其中一種。 「大牌」/ 相反，普通食肆牌照又稱「大牌」，只要不是售賣受限制的食品，例如壽司🍣、生蠔🦪等，准許持牌人基本上是沒有限制的，而且食客也可以堂食。 茶餐廳牌照/ 衛生局 於1960年設立了「茶餐廳牌照」，但現時已被廢除。有關牌照的特性和廢除的原因，我也沒有太多資訊，我嘗試聯絡過相關部門但都空手而回。然而我們相信現時所有茶餐廳領取著普通食肆牌照。若讀者們知道這些歷史和條例，不妨與我們分享。 今時今日的冰室/ 現時大部份的所謂冰室也領取着「普通食肆牌照」。除了裝修外，實際上他們所提供的食品與普通茶餐廳沒有太大的分別。所以現在我走進冰室，吃的主要是當年環境氣氛的感覺，食物種類和質素是次要的。 Types of restaurant licenses/ As mentioned last time, in the 1980s and early 1990s, the licences of traditional “Bing Sutt” and “Cha Chaan Teng” were different. Today let’s illustrate the two most common catering licenses which are available for dine-in service. “Small license"/ In the earlier stage, the “Bing Sutt’s” license was similar to the current light refreshment restaurant license, commonly known as "small license". It allows dine-in service but strictly restricted the food items that the licensee can prepare and sell for consumption, only one group of the food items as stated can be chosen. “Big license”/ On the contrary, ordinary restaurant licenses are known as "big license." As long as licensee does not sell restricted food items, like sushi and oysters, that require a specific permit, the licensee basically can sell anything and is also available for dine-in. “Cha Chaan Teng’s” license/ This license was established in 1960 by the former Health Bureau but has now been suspended. And we believe all Cha Chaan Teng in Hong Kong nowadays have a general restaurant license. Detailed information and the reasons for its suspension are hard to find, so if you know anything about the history and regulations, please do not hesitate to share them with us. Today’s “Bing Sutt”/ Basically, most of the so-called “Bing Sutts” are now holding general restaurant licenses. Except for the decoration, their menu is more or less the same as ordinary “Cha Chaan Teng”. For me, when I now walk into Bitt Sutt, what I am enjoying the most is the taste of time rather than the taste of food.

#我港生活 #lifestyle_kongcept 豆豉與鯪魚的邂逅/ 隔離期間食太多午餐肉？由細食到大嘅豆豉鯪魚呢？1893年，第一罐豆豉鯪魚在廣洲廣茂香罐頭廠面世。這可追溯十九世紀時，依水為生的珠三角勞工，偶然發現鯪魚的甘鮮和豆豉的咸香十分配合。豆豉、鯪魚和調味料的配方一直長相廂守至今，你能想像一樣的味道能流傳百年嗎？ 雖說豆豉鯪魚起源於廣州，但絕對不輸午餐肉的「頹人恩物」，美味的鯪魚加上豆豉汁撈飯可能是很多香港人的日常，它的味道也讓很多移居外國的香港人回憶家鄉的感覺。在疫情如此嚴重的時刻，跨境運輸的阻礙更令它的價錢一度上調至💰50元！！！祝願大家仍能在超市找到罐豆豉鯪魚😂 百年不變的制作方法/ 豆豉味滲進魚肉，魚汁浸泡豆豉，互為融合，但其實制作過程中，豆豉和魚是入罐後才相遇的。首先將豆豉入罐，再把解凍好的魚乾和調料液里浸泡一定時間，他倆才能相遇，最後注入精煉豆油。一罐豆豉鯪魚在高溫消毒後便成香氣與味覺滿分的完成品。 The encounter of tempeh and dace/ Beside spam, canned “Dace in Tempeh” is an other top can food in Hong Kong. In 1893, the first can was launched at a factory named 廣茂香 in Guangzhou. Tracing back to the 19th century, when workers in the Pearl River Delta who depended on the water for a living, accidentally discovered that the sweetness of dace and the salty aroma of tempeh go very well together. Then the recipe passed down for a hundred years… Although Dace in Tempeh originated in Guangzhou, having a bite of delicious Dace in Tempeh with rice is the daily life of many Hongkongers and the taste of it may even recall the feeling of home when you away. Nevertheles, its price increased to 💰HKD50 per because of cross-border transportation issue. Hope that everyone can still find cans of Dace in Tempeh in the supermarket 😂 The production method that has not changed for a hundred years / First put the tempeh in the can, then soak the thawed dried fish and seasoning liquid for a certain period of time before they are canned together, and finally inject refined soybean oil. After a can of tempeh dace is sterilized at high temperature, it becomes a finished product with perfect aroma and taste.

《我港 Kongcept》批鬥大會 2021【 5/8：紅豆西多，香港人的下午 @kongcept852】 ***31/12投選你最喜歡的貼文種類*** 關於 #我港生活 #lifestyle_kongcept 💬//我港從生活和飲食入手，探討香港人間的微妙連結。無形的種種讓我們產生“共鳴”、“安心”，而一切其實有跡可尋。// 香港人的滿分下午 💬//紅豆冰配西多士係定律！// / 跟大家分享過，傳統冰室是屬於較高級的場所，蘊含的文化內容包括下午茶、咖啡廳、舊香港的社會環境等等...冰室的招牌菜式，香港人最渴求的下午茶，非紅豆冰和西多士莫屬！兩者都是源於香港的冰室，極具本土風味！ 紅豆冰/ 說到豪華高級的港式飲品，童年時的最愛，一定是始於香港冰室的「紅豆冰」- 像是冰室化後的紅豆沙。把綿綿的紅豆、白滑的三花淡奶、涼透心的碎冰放進高身的蓮花杯，再用長長的鐵匙搞拌，把紅白色分明的它混合成紫紅色，大吸一口...簡單的快樂和治癒感。傳統紅豆冰多從大冰塊刨出碎冰製作飲料，但因成本較高而被淘汰，並以製冰機造的冰粒或碎冰代替。當然，在香港無法自行製冰的年代，紅豆冰是格外珍貴的飲品。有別於大x樂之流，上水的「廣成冰室」創立於1962年， 四個大字的招牌、通透的門面、天花板的大風扇、還有招牌紅豆冰！3/5杯的豆紅色+1/5杯的奶白色+1/5利用古董刨冰機手刨出的刨冰柱，6/70年代的傳統冰室味道透入你心。 西多士/ 西多士HK French Toast，原型大概是歐洲流行的法蘭西多士French Toast，分別在於前者是「炸」香夾層中有花生醬的兩塊麵包，塗上牛油和糖漿（有茶餐廳會加入火腿）食用；後者是「煎」香一塊塊的麵包，配上糖漿或水果等食用。西多士實際的歷史故事無從得知，但French Toast的製作手法原是為了善用不新鮮麵包而出現的一條妙計。對於某些老一輩，最著緊的可能還是那英國出品的高級糖漿，那份港英時期的味道。 💬//有人話我知邊到嘅西多士好食就好啦😚// Cover Photo📷: @mr_nkf The best 2-Course Tea Set/ Talking about a perfect authentic taste at the Bing Sutt, “HK French Toast” and “Red Bean Ice” form a destined set. Both of them originated in the Bing Sutt industry of HK. Given the high calories and memories that Hongkongers had with them, they can offer you the most authentic taste of HK. “HK French Toast” is a twist from the classic French toast in Europe, except in a sandwich form that is traditionally stuffed with peanut butter (sometimes with condensed milk or ham) and deep-fried. Then, served with a glaze of syrup and butter on top. On the other hand, traditionally, “Red Bean Ice” consists of 3/5 cup of red bean, 1/5 cup of evaporated milk, and hand-shaved ice. #我港 #kongcept #西多士 #紅豆冰 #冰室 #茶餐廳 #下午茶 #FrenchToast #廣成冰室

🧐Kongcept 飲品大全/ 每次步進港式咖啡室/餐廳，你只會叫奶茶、咖啡還是檸檬茶？可惜！…香港地道飲品其實五花八門。 入門：黑與白的大戰/ 「呵瀝&華田」(Holicks&Ovaltine)兩者都是麥芽飲品，雖然不是本土特產但經過年月的洗禮，現已成為大眾的兒時回憶，茶餐廳更會把兩者混合為兒童或黑白鴛鴦，一句到尾，呵瀝更好飲！ 初級挑戰：汽水/ 各種外國引入的汽水也被香港人玩弄於股掌之間，像雞尾酒般調配。源自70年代尾的忌廉溝鮮奶，必須先把牛奶倒進杯然後才加入當時稱為荷蘭水的玉泉忌廉；熱檸樂煲薑，這是一種是香港一種民間食療，因舊時的公共醫療體系尚待發展完善，難以負擔診金的市民便希望以此治療感冒。雖然其藥效不明，但暖水和薑至少可以紓緩發冷及喉嚨不適。 中級挑戰：走/ 絲襪奶茶是香港之光，而茶走是它的演變體，據說從前食客害怕奶茶加入砂糖會惹痰，所以店家開始以煉奶代替砂糖，成為「茶走」，漸漸更出現鴦走和華田走等等的煉奶飲品。 地獄級：滾水蛋/ 這是只有老牌餐廳才會提供的飲品，做法是把一顆生蛋雞打進一杯滾燙的熱，攪拌開來後再加上砂糖調味。古曰，雞蛋進水有如「跳海」；蛋白花開彷如「袈裟」，輕飄落下；蛋黃之圓滑，就如「光頭」。這飲品又名為「和尚跳海」。由於舊時香港物資匱乏，「滾水蛋」是當時的一款營養食品。 愛我請分享/ 融合、創新、演變、再創新，被外國朋友問及香港文化時，大家都理應可以滔滔不絕的自豪地介紹。喝哪種飲品？如何品嚐一杯絲襪奶茶？如何用廣東話下單？這些話題都已足夠打動你的外國朋友，試利用一個下午茶的時間去介紹，你好 鍾意的香港。 Kongcept Drink Menu/ Are milk tea, coffee or coke always your choices of drinks? Shame, you are missing out a lot... Beginner Challenge: Soda/ There are different kinds of soda mocktail in HK. For instance, adding preserved limes and fresh lemon into 7up is the summer cure. Health-wise, boiling Coca Cola with ginger and lemon is a kind of folk diet therapy in old HK. When the public medical system has yet to be well developed, citizens who cannot afford the consultation fee would try to treat flu with this drink, although its efficacy is not proved, it at least relieves sore throat. Intermediate Challenge: “走jau2”/ Silk stocking milk tea is the pride of HK, and when you replace the evaporated milk and sugar in it with condensed milk, it becomes “茶走cha4 jau2”. In the past, diners were afraid that adding sugar to milk tea would cause phlegm, so the store began to replace sugar with condensed milk. Likewise, adding the word “走” at the end of any HK local beverage could means the use of condensed milk. Boss: Monk Jumping into the Sea/ This is a drink that only the oldest HK restaurants can offer, it’s made by adding a raw egg into a cup of boiling water. Egg yolk represents the shiny bald head of the monk and egg white that spread over the water is like the monk cassock. This drink was treated as a power drink for the lower-class. Complicated yet Loveable/ Learning but not blindly pursuing; harmonious but diversified. The concept of Yin Yeung represents the culture of HK.
