年糕 加 文字

說到農曆年的年糕,媽咪也是跟往年一樣買了快餐店大家樂的行貨,價錢也不便宜要hk$210 「椰汁蔗糖年糕 + 瑤柱臘味蘿蔔糕(1,2)」。食到過了初七人日,返工返學後,某超市另一隻行貨陳記終於減到40蚊左右一盒,好奇心下買來試試,見證一分錢一分貨,咬落去糕嘅粉好似較快餐店cdc為多,安慰是令母親覺得冇多花冤枉錢(8,9)。

其實過年前我亦去深水埗格過價,在常幫親嘅麵包舖買了較平$60一磅笑口棗,但冇買年糕。 在另一間買了80蚊個芋頭糕,可惜食完都冇影相。
最旺場之一應該係生隆,不過嗰度的價錢同絡繹不絕人流成正比!80蚊(定係$88?)磅笑口棗、130元一底糕,怪不得他們初十才開市,歲晚都䁠夠了荷包(3,4,5)!

平嘢冇好啱唔啱?我新年前見到最平係南山邨某麵包舖,70至90元有交易。出年或者下次大時大節可以做下白老鼠(6,7)。

歲晚收爐的題字今年沒有特別去搵,但係睇到呢一張是花了心思去寫,字體美不美就見仁見智(10)。

free plants to take home, lunar new year 2023

mandarin (oranges) were not the only one discarded en masse on lunar new year’s eve. so were peach flowers (selling at one point for HKD20 a piece), dried sunflowers(向日葵) and daffodils (水仙花) without many bulbs that found themselves abandoned as well. i picked up some 水仙 for their fragrance and elegance. they are apt for a modest celebration.

新年大吉

大吉大利嘅年桔,年年都有好多『吉』出嚟。到底是做花農難,定是做零售花商難?還是兩者皆是?可以肯定的是,浪費又不環保,滿地免費大吉任君揀。我不太貪心,沾少少新年氣氛便滿足!

祝君大吉大利!
