又差唔多過農曆新年既日子, 檸檬星星係英國就沒有太大既節日氣氛, 但一班人總是不少得賀年糕點來賀一賀新春佳節... 呵呵, 有蘿蔔糕, 有馬蹄糕, 仲有年糕, 好多溫暖, 好有味道. 檸檬星星係依度先拜個早年, 祝大家新年快樂, 身體健康🙌 新的一年, 繼續 #飲飲食食重新得力😍

It’s almost that time of the year again, close to the Lunar New Year. In the UK, Starlemon doesn’t really feel the festive atmosphere, but we always end up with some new year cakes to celebrate the New Year… Haha, there’s radish cake, water chestnut cake, and sticky rice cake—so much warmth, so much flavor. Starlemon firstly wish everyone an early Happy New Year, wishing you all happiness and good health. 🙌

"芒果星星"???

Starlemon learns to draw a self-portrait, not sure why in the end it turned into a mango 😅

澳門的日與夜

檸檬星星已經多年沒有去澳門, 最懷念最懷念都係杏仁餅, 豬扒包既味道🤤 適逢其會, 在回程的旅途上, 就好好慢慢走走澳門這地方, 睇下今日有什麼新的大變化🥺

由新馬路作為一個起點, 眼見以往的舖頭多年沒有太大的改變, 遊人仍是眾多, 路經瑪嘉烈葡撻店, 仍然係大排長龍; 再向前行, 去到議事亭前地, 因為是新年關係, 仍然是佈滿了聖誕的裝飾; 多年來都未有機會進入市政署走走, 上層有一個好大的會議地方, 中間部份有一個小小的花園, 讓遊人可稍稍歇息👭

當然, 行到攰攰地, 係時候找個地方飲咖啡hea下, 走上去營地街市熟食中心, 有檔好味既瓦煲咖啡, 加整番件多奶醬豬仔包, 就係一件賞心樂事😜 同朋友傾下計, 唞唞就去探大三巴, 每次來終要來留個倩影作紀念🙋‍♂️🙋‍♀️ 附近買下手信杏仁餅, 試食下豬肉乾, 天又黑齊, 再影下大三巴夜景及途路的街上氣氛, 快快樂樂準備去食晚餐啦🏃‍♂️

多年不見, 地方沒有太大的改變, 相信改變只會是人和事. 不是話當年, 總要望明天🫶 說了再見, 定必再見, 要好好的生活啊🎈

謝謝你.

Macau’s Day and Night

Starlemon has not visited Macau for many years, and what I miss the most is the taste of almond cookies and pork chop buns 🤤. By chance, on my return journey, I took the time to leisurely walk around Macau, checking out what new changes there were today 🥺.

Starting from Rua Nova, I noticed that the shops haven’t changed much over the years, and tourists are still abundant. Walking past Margaret’s Cafe e Nata, there was still a long line; further ahead, I reached Senado Square, and because it was the New Year, the area was still decorated with Christmas ornaments. I’ve never had the chance to enter the Municipal Affairs Bureau, so this time I did. On the upper floor, there’s a large meeting hall, and in the center, a small garden where visitors can take a brief rest 👭.

Of course, after a bit of walking, it’s time to find a place to relax with a coffee. I went up to the Food Court at the Mercado de Campo, where there’s a stall with delicious claypot coffee. Adding a peanut sauce pork bun to it made for a delightful treat 😜. After chatting with a friend and resting a bit, we went to visit the Ruins of St. Paul’s. Every time I come, I make sure to take a memorable photo 🙋‍♂️🙋‍♀️. Nearby, I bought some souvenirs like almond cookies and sampled some dried pork. As the sky grew dark, I took photos of the night view of the Ruins and the atmosphere of the streets. Feeling happy, I was ready to head out for dinner 🏃‍♂️.

After many years, the place hasn’t changed much. I believe the real changes are in the people and events. It’s not about the past; it’s about looking toward tomorrow 🫶. After saying goodbye, I know we’ll meet again. Live well 🎈.

Thank you.

澳門食好西系列1

去到馬交, 食好西必然係一個重要環節... 細細過係人都講個d 什麼什麼乜乜大笨象, 大木偶... 坦白講, 識路都唔會再去幫襯啦, 出門好在有老友, 等我開心😍share下一間地道葡餐餐廳過你, 下次去開大三巴, 食番餐🤤

食評: 富仕葡式美食

lee 間小店俾我一個好九十年代的餐廳感覺, 外面用黃色招牌襯紅字, 老遠都已經見到佢個舖😅 入到餐廳, 細細的小店得三四張檯仔, 牆上面就貼左佢地招牌菜d 相, 真係好有懷舊feel😌

點餐時間到, 無馬介休就好似不是食葡餐一樣, 必食🉐 師傅好精緻將每件馬介休處理到外脆內腍, 真係要小心食, 裡面真係有魚骨, 真材實料👍 我地仲點左佢既招牌菜燒雞釀飯, 隻🐔焗到啱啱好, 不太生, 又不太老, 配上釀飯, 成件事都好有睇頭; 當然要食點蔬菜啦🙋‍♂️ 叫左葡汁焗四蔬, 賣相不錯, 用上葡汁配上鮮菜, 好開胃🥰 好似唔係好夠肉, 就整多隻豬手, 嘩! 大滿足😋

檸檬星星指數: 9/10 😘😘😘

食飽係時候去周圍睇下, 下次再傾, Stay Tuned👋👋 謝謝你的閱讀🤩

Macau Good Eats Series 1

When you visit Macau, eating well is definitely an important part of the experience. When I was younger, people would talk about places like the “Big Dumb Elephant” or “Big Puppet.” To be honest, even if I knew the way, I wouldn’t go back to those spots. Thankfully, I have good friends who know better places. Let me happily share a local Portuguese restaurant with you, so next time you’re near the Ruins of St. Paul’s, you’ll know where to go for a great meal! 🤤

Food Review: Rico's

This little restaurant gives me a strong 90s vibe. It has a yellow sign with red letters that you can spot from far away. Once you enter, it’s a small place with just three or four tables, and the walls are decorated with pictures of their signature dishes. It really gives off a nostalgic feel. 😌

When it comes to ordering, you can’t miss out on bacalhau (salted codfish) — it’s practically a must when eating Portuguese food! The chef prepares the cod with such precision, frying it crispy on the outside while keeping it tender inside. Just be careful when eating, as there are real fish bones inside. It’s the real deal! 👍 We also ordered their signature dish, roasted chicken stuffed with rice. The chicken was perfectly baked — not too raw, not too overcooked. When paired with the stuffed rice, it was absolutely delightful. And of course, we had to get some vegetables too! 🙋‍♂️ We chose the Portuguese-style baked four vegetables. It looked great and was made with fresh veggies in a rich Portuguese sauce, making it very appetizing. 🥰

It felt like it needed a bit more meat, so we decided to add a pig’s trotter. Wow, so satisfying! 😋

Starlemon's Index: 9/10 😘😘😘

After eating, it’s time to explore a bit more. Let’s chat again next time. Stay tuned! 👋👋 Thanks for reading! 🤩

澳門輕軌

聽澳門朋友講, 這條澳門輕軌都用左成十年時間, 係2019年正式通車, 開始服務當地的居民. 如大家有興趣, 可以係wiki找到關於這條輕軌建造的歷史同發生過的爭議事件🤔

檸檬星星都是第一次搭🚋🚋, 路線都是貫穿氹仔碼頭, 機場, 各大酒店等地方, 都算是相當方便. 稍稍看看班次, 7分鐘一班列車算是可以接受. 買飛方面, 都是透過售票機, 用現金 (只接受澳門幣)購買, 當然當地的朋友就多數用澳門通, 方便很多👍

走進無人駕駛的列車車箱, 由於沒有太多的乘客, 空間空相當足夠, 列車在行駛過程不會太顛簸, 感覺十分舒適. 另外, 檸檬星星特別要俾個🥰, 車廂中有方便輪椅使用的地方, 簡單將三個座位接合, 就能騰出空間, 棒耶👍 當然每個站都已經配上閘門, 保障乘客安全啦👏

希望你用得著我今天介紹的資訊🙌 謝謝你的閱讀🙏

Macau Light Rail

Starlemon heard from my friends in Macau that the Macau Light Rail took nearly ten years to complete and officially began operation in 2019, providing service to the local residents. If you’re interested, you can find more details about the construction history and the controversies surrounding the project on Wikipedia 🤔.

This was my first time riding the light rail 🚋🚋. The route runs through places like Taipa Ferry Terminal, the airport, and major hotels, so it’s quite convenient. The train frequency is about every 7 minutes, which is acceptable. For tickets, you can purchase them through the ticket machines using cash (only Macanese patacas are accepted). Of course, locals usually use the Macau Pass, which is much more convenient 👍.

When I entered the driverless train car, there weren’t many passengers, so the space was quite roomy. The ride was smooth with minimal bumps, making it very comfortable. Additionally, I want to give a special shoutout 🥰 because the train car is designed with a space for wheelchair users. By simply combining three seats, they can free up space, which is awesome 👍. Of course, each station is equipped with gates for passenger safety 👏.

I hope the information I shared today is helpful to you 🙌. Thanks for reading 🙏.

坐🚌🚌過大海

檸檬星星好耐無過大海(去澳門), 以前就一定要去港澳碼頭坐🛳, 船費都唔平呀🤦‍♂️ 但港珠澳大橋開通後, 我知道可以坐金巴去馬交, 價錢平過坐船, 同埋時間更有彈性, 今日就決定去試下🤔

行程安排先坐港鐵到欣澳站, 一出就會見到 B5 巴士直達港珠澳大橋香港口岸, 行車時間約20分鐘左右. 到達香港口岸, 就直接出香港境, 完成過關後就按指示, 去選擇往澳門或者珠海巴士買巴士飛, 指示都尚算清晰, 就找到了金巴上車, 班次都好頻密, 基本上一客滿就開車, 行車時間約50分鐘, 途中可見到港珠澳大橋的美觀設計. 當到達澳門口岸, 就入境過關. 全程由欣澳到達澳門不用一個半小時, 都算是十分方便🙌 另外, 澳門口岸外面亦有各大的酒店專車乘搭, 咁就可以輕輕鬆鬆去澳門 #飲飲食食重新得力🤤

希望這些資訊幫到你啦👍 謝謝你的閱讀.

Taking the bus to Macau🚌🚌

It’s been a while since Starlemon last traveled to Macau. In the past, I had to take the ferry at the Hong Kong-Macau Terminal, and the ferry fare wasn’t cheap 🤦‍♂️. But after the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge opened, I found out that I could take a bus to Macau, which is cheaper than the ferry and more flexible in terms of schedule. So today, I decided to give it a try 🤔.

Here’s the plan: First, I took the MTR to Sunny Bay Station. Once I got out, I saw the B5 bus, which goes directly to the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge Hong Kong Port. The ride takes about 20 minutes. After arriving at the Hong Kong Port, I exited Hong Kong, completed immigration, and followed the signs to choose a bus to either Macau or Zhuhai. The instructions were fairly clear, and I easily found the Golden Bus to board. The buses are very frequent, usually departing as soon as they’re full. The journey takes about 50 minutes, and along the way, I got to admire the beautiful design of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge.

Once I arrived at the Macau Port, I went through immigration. The entire journey from Sunny Bay to Macau took less than one and a half hours, making it very convenient 🙌. Also, outside the Macau Port, there are shuttle buses to major hotels, so you can easily head to your accommodation.

I hope this information helps you! Thanks for reading. 👍

香港食好西系列2

今時今日, 唔理邊到既朋友都係有 "打邊爐" 癮😅 當然檸檬星星唔係講緊smoking, 真心係十下十下個隻打邊爐呀🤤

食評: 一鍋堂

出左去旺角, 朋友話瓊華個間一鍋堂都唔錯, 就上去試下🙋‍♂️ 講下食物, 有ABCD餐你選擇, 取決於你食什麼好西, 海鮮和牛就當然貴少少啦😵‍💫 其實佢間舖都係走半自助左路線, 有得用QR code 點東西, 檸檬星星不是太肚餓, 就試下佢最平的套餐, 入到menu都有不少選擇, 比較特別係烏雞肉都有得order, 用來打邊爐肉質都唔會太"鞋"; 仲有一些較少食的餃子, 上枱時都十分精緻, 抵讚👍 另外, 係出面都有不同的熟食, 食品同雪糕, 任食唔嬲... 我最驚喜係當晚有羊腩煲, 件件腍, 又唔太韌, 美味しい😋 我俾佢9/10👏

環境服務方面, 坦白講, 坐的位置係少少窄😵‍💫 明白, 檸檬星星的size😞, 闊多少少係會開心d. 服務上菜都有速度, staff都有禮貌, good good good👌 俾佢 7/10.

檸檬星星指數: 8/10 (想打邊爐, 可以考慮下) ... 唔記得左, 佢地有洛神花茶供應, 打完邊爐飲佢就啱曬啦😍

好, 希望你喜歡我既介紹, 下回再分解👋

Hong Kong Foodie Series 2

Nowadays, no matter where your friends are from, everyone seems to be addicted to hot pot 😅. Of course, I’m not talking about smoking here, but the real deal—hot pot you eat 🤤.

Food Review: E pot

I went to Mong Kok, and a friend recommended the E pot near King Wah Centre. So, I decided to give it a try 🙋‍♂️.

Let’s talk about the food. They offer set meals labeled A, B, C, and D, depending on what you want to eat. Naturally, seafood and Wagyu beef are pricier 😵‍💫. The restaurant follows a semi-self-service model where you can order through a QR code. Since I wasn’t too hungry, I tried their most affordable set meal.

The menu had a decent selection, and one standout option was black chicken, which isn’t commonly found in hot pot places. Its texture wasn’t too tough when cooked—pretty nice! They also served some unique dumplings, which were very delicately presented when brought to the table. Thumbs up for that 👍. Outside the hot pot offerings, there was a variety of cooked food and unlimited ice cream. My biggest surprise of the night was the lamb brisket casserole—it was tender, not overly chewy, and absolutely delicious 😋. I’d rate the food 9/10 👏.

For ambiance and service, honestly, the seating was a bit cramped 😵‍💫. I understand, given my Starlemon's size 😞, I’d appreciate slightly more spacious seating. That said, the serving speed was good, and the staff were polite and professional. Good, good, good👌. I’d rate this aspect 7/10.

Overall, Starlemon's Index: 8/10
(If you’re craving hot pot, it’s worth considering!) Oh, I almost forgot—they offer roselle tea, which is perfect to sip after a hot pot meal 😍.

Alright, I hope you enjoyed my review. Stay tuned for the next one 👋!

CNY 又快到了🤩

剛剛先送走左2024, 街上面聖誕既佈置裝飾都未拆下, 條街大大小小既舖頭已經快快換上左農曆新年既物品, 呵呵, 又要準備送龍迎蛇的新年啦....

檸檬星星出走花園街, 福華街一帶的小店, 睇下今年的新年裝修有沒有什麼的特別🤭 記得小時候, 家家戶戶係過年前都會執整清潔, 掛上新年裝飾, 貼上揮春, 增加節日的喜慶氣氛, 為新年祈福的寓意. 行到攰, 食番個雞蛋仔先🤤

你睇下, 依家有好多不同款式的新年裝飾, 當然唔少得大吉同紅封包, 小朋友係新年就最開心😁 英國朋友在農曆新年都係要返工, 遲少少再同大家分享下我地會有什麼攪作🤔記得繼續支持 #檸檸星星日記, 謝謝你的閱讀.

CNY is coming soon 🤩

We just bid farewell to 2024. The Christmas decorations on the streets haven’t even been taken down yet, but shops have already switched to Lunar New Year items. Haha, it’s time to prepare for saying goodbye to the Dragon and welcoming the Snake for the New Year…

Starlemon wandered around the small shops on Fa Yuen Street and F*k Wa Street to check out this year’s festive decorations—let’s see if there’s anything special this year 🤭. I remember as a child, every household would clean and tidy up before the New Year, put up festive decorations, and hang up calligraphy couplets to create a joyous atmosphere and bring good fortune for the year ahead. Feeling tired from walking? Time for an egg waffle to recharge 🤤!

Look at all these different types of New Year decorations available now! Of course, you can’t miss out on tangerines and red packets. Kids are always the happiest during the New Year 😁. Friends in the UK still have to work during Lunar New Year. I’ll share later what we’re planning to do for the festivities 🤔. Remember to keep supporting Starlemon's Diary and thank you for reading!

區區有睇頭~ 深水埗都有個歷史遺跡

檸檬星星今日嚟到前深水埗配水庫（Ex-Sham Shui Po Service Reservoir）, 原來係大有來頭, 這裡是建於1904年, 係一個地下蓄水設施, 主要用於存儲和分配供應深水埗區的食水。該配水庫在停止使用後，因其特殊的建築結構和歷史價值，成為了本地文化遺產的焦點。

前深水埗配水庫以紅磚拱頂結構為主，內部設有多排柱子支撐穹頂，整體設計充滿殖民地時期的建築風格，就好似一個地下羅馬神殿, 好神秘🫣 配水庫在早期為深水埗區提供穩定的飲用水供應, 但自停用後長期被遺忘, 直到2020年地區改建工程才被重新發現, 並被視為珍貴的歷史遺跡, 希望能好好的保育, 將其活化為文化或旅遊設施.

今日能到此一遊, 機會難得. 提提你, 由於這配水庫位於高地上, 沿路有長長的樓梯級緩緩而上, 記得找對舒適的鞋子才出發啦👍 如果想參加導賞團, 就要上網預先報名: https://www.waterconservation.gov.hk/tc/ex-sspsr/index.html

希望你有機會都去這地方參觀下, 謝謝你的閱讀.

Every District Has Its Gems ~ Sham Shui Po Has a Historical Relic Too!

Today, Starlemon visits the Ex-Sham Shui Po Service Reservoir, a place with a fascinating backstory. Built in 1904, this underground water storage facility was primarily used to store and distribute drinking water to Sham Shui Po. After it was decommissioned, the reservoir became a local cultural heritage site, thanks to its unique architectural design and historical significance.

The Ex-Sham Shui Po Service Reservoir features red brick vaulted ceilings supported by rows of columns, showcasing a colonial-era architectural style. It feels like stepping into a mysterious underground Roman temple! In its early days, it provided stable drinking water to the district. However, it was forgotten for a long time after being retired—until it was rediscovered during redevelopment work in 2020. The reservoir is now considered a precious historical relic, and many hope it will be well preserved and revitalized as a cultural or tourist site.

Visiting today was truly a rare opportunity. A quick tip: since the reservoir is located on elevated ground, you’ll need to climb a long flight of stairs to reach it. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes before setting out! 👍 If you’re interested in joining a guided tour, you’ll need to register online in advance: https://www.waterconservation.gov.hk/tc/ex-sspsr/index.html.

Hope you get a chance to visit this fascinating place too. Thanks for reading!

香港地道美食 ~ 雞批

檸檬星星今日係旺角附近出沒, 入到朗豪, 見到樓下有間冰室, 就坐低叫個新鮮出爐既雞批, 加番杯凍鴛鴦少甜, 下午tea 一 tea😽

都好一段日子沒有食過雞批啦, 以前舊式的麵包店, 就會見到佢同蛋撻擺埋一齊, 細個嗰陣時多數會叫阿媽買蛋撻, 因為鐘意佢可以用匙羹𢳂嚟食. 唔知幾時有一次, 阿媽買左個雞批俾我試, 外表一格格牛油脆皮, 包住裡面少少熱既磨菇汁雞肉, 就咁樣🫶了雞批. 不竟, 雞批一向價錢都係俾蛋撻價錢貴, 食既次數相對較少, 今時今日見到, 都有好開心重遇既感覺, 好窩心咁一啖咬落去🤤

希望下次再有機會食到好味的雞批🙋‍♂️ 你又鐘意食乜野呢? 講來聽下🗣 開餐先, 下次再講.

Chicken Pie

Today, Starlemon is walking around in Mongkok area. Upon entering Langham Place, I noticed a café downstairs and decided to sit down for a freshly baked chicken pie paired with a chilled, slightly sweet yin yang (a coffee-tea blend). Perfect for an afternoon tea break! 😽

It’s been a while since I last had a chicken pie. Back in the day, traditional bakeries would always have them displayed alongside egg tarts. As a kid, I often asked my mom to buy egg tarts because I loved eating them with a spoon. I can’t recall when exactly, but one day my mom got me a chicken pie to try. Its appearance—flaky, buttery crust with a grid pattern—encased warm chicken and mushroom sauce inside. From that moment on, I fell in love with chicken pies.

However, chicken pies have always been pricier than egg tarts, so I didn’t get to enjoy them as often. Seeing one today brought back such fond memories—it felt like a joyful reunion. Taking a warm, comforting bite into the pie was pure nostalgia and delight. 🤤

I hope I’ll have the chance to enjoy a delicious chicken pie again next time. 🙋‍♂️ What do you enjoy eating? Let me know! 🗣 Time to dig in—let’s chat more next time!

過去這個城市鏗鏘, 許多人眾多千百相, 很多志向...
這裡見證城市興衰, 許多人理想都遠去, 很多破碎...

In the past, this city was vibrant,
Countless people gathered in their hundreds and thousands, Full of aspirations…

Here, the rise and fall of the city was witnessed,
Many dreams have drifted away, Leaving much broken…
