刘荣和茶餐室 • 槟城亞延炒粿条 (Lorong Selamat, Georgetown Penang)

刘荣和茶餐室 · 槟城炒粿条 Lorong Selamat, Penang

咖啡店（Kopitiam）是马来西亚本土饮食文化之一，这词结合了马来语的咖啡（Kopi）和槟城地方福建话的店（Tiam3）。槟城有许多这类型的传统风味咖啡店，专门售卖早餐面食和传统东南亚咖啡。一杯香浓咖啡，一碗热腾腾面食，一片涂上加央的烤面包和半生熟鸡蛋，就能呈现道地的古早风味和生活习惯。

乔治市的平安巷有两档驰名的炒粿条，一是兴发茶室的小红帽炒粿条，另一档是刘荣和茶餐室里的亞延炒粿条。两档都有一个共同点——等，排队，等，排队。我们常到刘荣和茶餐室觅食，原因不外乎食物的选择比兴发茶室多，而且等到炒粿条总需要等上一些时间，因此可以点上多盘小食，边吃边聊。

When you visit Malaysia and especially Penang, local coffee shop is one of the things that you can see it everywhere at every corner. Kopitiam, is a combination of Malay and Hokkien which is probably came from Peranakan. Kopi is the Malay word that means coffee and Tiam is a Hokkien that means shop. Cool right. So, don’t miss out when you visit Penang.

While in Lorong Selamat, Georgetown, there are 2 famous char kway teow seller there. One of it is located at Heng Huat Kopitiam and other is Loh Eng Hoe Kopitiam. Both have their own secret recipe and unique taste that made them so different. But, the similarity is you have to queue very long to get to your turn. The reason we choose to visit Loh Eng Hoe Kopitiam is just because there have more variety of food and you can taste lots of Penang signature local dishes there while waiting for your char kway teow. 

北上越南 Exploring North Vietnam | 河内 Hanoi • 宁静的山水古都

北上越南 Exploring North Vietnam | 河内 Hanoi

1. 摩多穿行的城市：镇国古寺Tran Quoc Pagoda、Templeof Literature 文庙、HoanKiem Lake 还剑湖、WaterPuppet Show 越南传统木偶戏
2. 宁静的山水古都：Tam Coc 三谷、Bich Dong 碧洞、Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum 胡志明陵墓
3. 简朴的高脚房舍：PresidentialPalace 胡志明故居（河内总督府）、Ho Chi Minh Museum 胡志明博物馆、OnePillar Pagoda 独柱寺
4. 自然遗产下龙湾： Ha Long Bay 下龙湾

河内作为越南第二座大城市，文物名胜丰富，融合了千年历史古迹和现代都市化发展。河内的西方建筑物陈旧，略带颓废，仿佛已经反反复复地向旅人诉说同样的事迹，渐渐斑驳疲倦，流露出一股迷惘失落的迷人气质。除了西方建筑文化，精致古老的华人庙宇也让人着迷，信步寺庙清心时，偶尔会听见僧人的读经诵声和悠远宁神的钟声，边走边看，触摸和用心默读刻在牌匾石碑上那漆墨脱落的熟悉方块文字，回想旧时寺院焚香人来人往祈求保佑的情景。

这座古老悠远的城市似乎凝固了时间的追赶，安静又喧闹沸腾地守护着前人留下的文化遗产。这趟旅行，坐在街道旁静静喝着咖啡，与自己对话，与旅行对话，与生活对话。摩多呼啸穿行而过，又感受到越南别有风味的独特文化。散乱不规则，甚至不搭的场景结合在一块儿便会让你体验——身在越南。

Do you guys know Vietnam covers a total area of approximately 331,210 km2, making it almost the size of Germany according to Wikipedia. You also can easy see that by looking at the world map, as you can see Vietnam is a very long in size and have a very long coastline too. Vietnam was also part of Imperial China over decades so you will feel like you were at china at some places. Also not to forget, Vietnam was also colonized by French before. So, Vietnam is an interesting country that has a combination of east and west.

When I was at Hanoi, I always imagine that 4 of us visit here someday and have a cup of hot coffee beside the lake. It is just perfect with the chill or slightly cold weather. Looking at local’s pass by and doing their daily routine is just priceless. Sometimes, travel does not mean that you need to visit every single tourist attraction only proved that you visit the country before. Have a few days off and truly merge in the local life another way to enjoy your trip. Somehow, you will expect some unexpected to happen. That’s called travel!!! 

吉隆坡飞禽公园 Kuala Lumpur Bird Park (World's Largest Free-flight Walk-in Aviary)

Kuala Lumpur Bird Park

吉隆坡飞禽公园有着全世界最大的人行道鸟舍（World's Largest Free-flight Walk-in Aviary），让游客近距离接触热带雨林的鸟类。大鸟舍里头，你不会看见鸟儿在小笼子可怜兮兮呆着的景象，它们是多么自在且不惧生的在你身旁漫步飞行，各式鸟类展翅高飞啼叫，成群的蓝孔雀招摇过市，深怕旅人移开他们的目光，好似已经习惯如何展示自身的风韵。这儿的鸟类品种丰富多样，绿荫铺成的公园占地很大，走马看花也得花上几个小时，一家欢乐游览乐趣无穷，仔细探索和发现便能从中获益。

It was shame on us that we just know Kuala Lumpur Bird Park have the World's Largest Free-flight Walk-in Aviary. The main purpose is the let all the visitors have a close contact with all the rain forest birds. You won’t see all the bird get closed in respective cage. It is so beautiful that you can see all the birds move freely there. Kuala Lumpur Bird Park is huge that you can simply spend around a few hours to walk around and snap some photo. Our comment is pay a little attention around you and you can discover a lot more.
