中環利源東西街—富與庶的分界線(攤檔分佈篇上回)

上回講到利源東西街呢條中環富庶分界線既地理之後,今次就同大家講下呢條街既排檔分佈究竟係點樣,首先,睇圖先!

In the following entry, we gonna have a more detailed look on the stall distribution amongst Li Yuan East and West!  Stay tuned!




圖中既格仔內代表攤擋,隔離既文字係我地寫既特色,好似賣乜野,幾多錢,而如果有英文字母好似w1,就請拉落去睇下啦

The rectangular boxes in the map showing on the left represent distribution of stalls.  They are colored in accordance to its nature.  Beside each box we have also written a short description of the products the stall selling as well as the price range.  For those interesting and special ones, we have included a code like w1 to match the picture we attached below.

承如上次所講,利源街係香港一個重點推廣既旅遊熱點,所以呢度唔少攤檔都售賣一啲有香港/中國文化特色既貨物,其中最有特色.好似圖中TCC既攤檔,佢地賣既貨品有......

As mentioned in the last entry,  the Li Yuans are one of the most promoted tourist spot in Hong Kong.  As such we can easily find stalls selling Traditional Chinese Clothing a.k.a TCC with wide range of color and style.

 好似呢啲咁.  如果到左農曆新年,大家不妨都黎買到買一件半件應下節,反正除非你唔著衫,新年落街都冇乜人睇,不如著得密實啲,起碼暖啲呀

Like these TCC as shown above, they are so nice and comfy and  it would be nice to have one on Lunar New Year.

中環利源東西街—富與庶的分界線

利源東西二街排檔群位於中環CBD之內，以港島黎講係其中一個大型既攤檔集中地，雖然佢地有既攤檔數目，只係九龍旺角三街(花園街，廣東道同通菜街)既一成，但係香港島係香港最早發展(以殖民地歷史起計)既地方，最早既香港城市規劃--四環九約，就包括成個中環至西環堅尼地城。所以話，利源東西街可以話係同香港一齊發展。而呢度既排檔群，亦都非常具歷史價值。

Located in Central, heart of Hong Kong, Li Yuen Street East/West is a places for fixed-pitched hawkers. Though they are much less than those in Kowloon in number, it is one of the hawking spots with longest history.  The first city planning in Hong Kong history included places in the Central-Western District. Therefore, Li Yuen Street development coincided with Hong Kong as a whole.

以地理黎講，利源二街本身位處中環心腹之地，上接德輔道，下駁皇后大道呢兩條貫通港島既主要道路，有電車接駁，附近又有巴士站，而且鄰近地鐵站，四通八達，位置上已立於不敗之地。絕對係冇得輸!各位有幸抽籤抽中响呢兩條街既排檔，真係一支好籤呀!

Geographically, both Li Yuen Streets are at the heart of Central District.  They are in the middle of Des Voeux Road and Queen's Road, which cross along Hong Kong Island.  It can be accessed by bus, trams, and MTR, making it convenient for not only locals but also tourists.  Therefore, you get lots of advantage in starting business here due to its accessibility.

巴不得講排檔

幾年前有一套小品電視劇,叫「爸不得爸爸」,描寫既係五六十年代既那些年香港,主角楚慈同楚帆既故事.內裏既故事情節好多都已經應該唔記得,但最記得既,係呢一幕……

I would like to start this entry with the show "A chip off the old block."

Few years ago, there was a Cantonese soap opera called "A chip off the old block," the show basically depicted the basic life of a Hong Kong Citizen in the 50s/60s.  Though I have already forgotten most parts of the show, the following scene still imprinted in my mind…

點解隻老鼠俾人當網球咁拍都唔死係一個謎,但類似呢兩個既熟食大排檔,响今時今日既香港,已經成為稀有動物,但有冇人知當年佢地梗有一檔响左近既程度,係多過今日7-Eleven同Circle-K既總和呢?

While readers might be side-tracked by the fact that how the mouse could still alive after numerous spankings, I would like to focus on the two hawker stalls a.k.a Dai Pai Dong in the show.  People might not be familiar with the setting of the scenes.  Could one ever imagine they are once outnumbered the sum of 7-Eleven and Circle-K nowadays?

神枱上的手藝

尋晚九龍海旁人流不絕,除左自遊行黎香港既同胞外,仲有好多人响香港文化中心出沒.點解呢?原來今日係元宵佳節,特區政府康文署响文化中心搞左個元宵燈會,等大家個個都做辛棄疾,响寶馬雕車香滿路之下,會否回首望到燈火闌珊處既佳人?

It was crowded in Kowloon coast yesterday. Not only free travelers from China, but also Hong Kong citizens, gathered in the Hong Kong Culture Centre.  Why? It is because it was Chinese Valentine Day(Yuan Xiao), which poets left everlasting love poetries about this festival. Have you met your Mr/s Right during this day?

既然係元宵,就當然唔少得花燈,而元宵節仲係新正頭時份,所以花燈主題係十二生肖,好有新年氣氛,

During the day, spectacular paper-made lanterns are one of the highlights. As it is still close to Chinese New Year, the theme of the lantern is the tradition chinese12 horoscopes. It made the venue rich in new year atmosphere.

第1回:進擊的名牌 小舖的反擊

「報告!報告!我地多年前築起,保衛灣仔同銅鑼灣,用黎分隔名牌巨舖同平民既寡均牆,今日被超級名牌巨舖LV於銅鑼灣衝破缺口,以巨額租金拳頭,揮低守護著時代廣場過十載,同時代同日開幕既UA戲院!UA戲院退守樓上,原先既食通天餐廳群就要全數徹離!雖然金百利,地帶同東角駅三巨頭仍未受衝擊,但亦反抗乏力,如果情況繼續惡化,CBD一帶只有灣仔同旺角仲有我地平民立錐之地!而同時灣仔已被包圍,情況堪虞!」

「報告!中環名店租界聯同尖沙咀廣東道名店租界.已通過立下禁例,禁止港人駐足,屆時唔單止影相,連行入去都唔可以!」

「報告!以金鐘為基地,生產各種汽水既大吉企業,近日同三大超市聯手,劃一汽水售價,各小商戶若有不從,將與人言屋同一命運,不再供貨!」

「大事休矣!唔通响CBD之內,真係冇平民可以進駐既舖頭?唔通我地就只可以响邊陲地方賣我地想賣既產品,任得呢啲外族品牌肆意响我地既地方指手劃腳,干涉我地內政?唔通我地想以蔗渣既價錢,租到燒鵝既舖位,就好似毒男想响情人節搵女仔陪出街一樣咁痴心妄想?」
