吃喝小介 -- 寧夏夜市(台北)







雖然很久没有到台灣,但對他們地道的食物如豆漿、蛋餅、蚵仔煎、豬肝湯、肉焿、滷肉飯、麻油雞等等,就是念念不忘。

一個多月前,在台北停留了一個晚上,立即把握這個難逢之機會,跑到夜市去趁熱鬧;我挑了「寧夏夜市」,當地的一個熱門旅遊點,剛好這天是周末的晚上,更熱鬧。

挑選「寧夏夜市」是有兩個原因。
很久以前到訪過這地方,當時叫「圓環夜市」,多年後再探訪,目的是要看看新舊之別,感受一下時代的變遷,這是歷史原因;聽説在一年多之前,政府舉辦「台北夜市之最」投票選舉,「寧夏夜市」於夜市主題中奪得多項冠軍名銜,另外的一個原因就很簡單,只是慕名而來。

寧夏夜市(台北大同區寧夏路)
交通:台北捷運雙連站、中山站都能抵達。夜市剛好在兩個地鐵站的中間,下車後,走路約八至十分鐘,個人覺得雙連站是靠近一點。

好歌同享 -- Hallelujah


偶然,聽到這首歌,鄧紫棋,G.E.M.自彈自唱的“Hallelujah”,一次多麽出色的演繹。

聼過有人說:這是宗教歌曲。
聼過有人說:這不是宗教歌曲。
聼過有人說:我没有宗教信仰,但很喜歡這首歌。
聼過有人說:我有別的宗教信仰,但很喜歡這首歌。

音樂,不應該有界限的。


Hallelujah
作詞+作曲:Leonard Cohen

I heard there was a secret chord
that David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
Well it goes like this:
The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Well your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrough ya
She tied you to her kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Well, maybe I've been here before
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor
I used to live with Leonard before I knew ya
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
But love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

And maybe there's a God above
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot someone who outdrew ya
Well it's not a cry that you can hear at night
It's not someone who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

I did my best, it wasn't much
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you
And even though
It all went wrong
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah,Hallelujah, Hallelu
Hallelujah, Hallelujah,Hallelujah, Hallelu
Hallelujah, Hallelujah,Hallelujah, Hallelujah
