Went out last night to find some culture in this town. First went to the Mobile Art container by Chanel in Central a top the old Star Ferry Car Park. The capsule/building is designed by one of my favorite architects, Zaha Hadid. It's amazing to see how her conceptual work, done back when I was an architecture student, can be a reality today because of new technologies and materials.
| 昨晚在城裏尋找文化。先去了位於舊天星碼頭停車場頂部的Chanel移動藝術館,它由我最愛的設計師之一Zaha Hadid設計。昔日當我還是建築系學生時,她就有這個概念作品,現在運用新科技和新材料使其成為現實,令人驚嘆。

The art inside was ok but the capsule itself was amazing, the crazy shapes and the even crazier spaces it created looked cool juxtaposed against the ol' Hong Kong
skyline.
| 其中陳列的藝術作品還行,但建築本身很棒,瘋狂的流線,打造出與香港美景同樣令人目眩的極酷空間。 | 其中陈列的艺术作品还行,但建筑本身很棒,疯狂的流线,打造出与香港美景同样令人目眩的极酷空间。
That's Leo from Chanel. Darth Vader was there too but I was too scared to papparazzi him. I saw what he did to the admiral.
| 這是Chanel的Leo。Darth Vader也在,但我不敢靠近他,因為看到了他如何對待艦隊司令。 | 这是Chanel的Leo。Darth Vader也在,但我不敢靠近他,因为看到了他如何对待舰队司令。
Afterwards Simon Birch and I headed over to Casa De Eddie for a meal with the boys from 24. I had been hearing how good a chef Eddie was but I wasn't expecting this level of culinary skills. Look at that spread. It's a seriously professional set up! Jamie Oliver's got nothing on Eddie!
| 接著是Simon Birch。後來跟24 Herbs去Casa DeEddie吃晚飯,早就聽說過主廚Eddie的大名,但沒想到烹飪水準如此之高。看看這桌相當正式的宴席! Jamie Oliver都比不上Eddie! | 接着是Simon Birch。后来跟24 Herbs去Casa DeEddie吃晚饭,早就听说过主厨Eddie的大名,但没想到烹饪水准如此之高。看看这桌相当正式的宴席! Jamie Oliver都比不上Eddie!

In the end, it was a heated debate but it came down to a vote and the crab won best dish of the night. Very impressive Eddie! I will have to return for another sample of your skills. All in all a great evening with Friends, Food and Art couldn't ask for more really.
| 最後經過熱烈討論,大家投票推選凍蟹為當晚最棒的菜。Eddie,令人驚嘆的廚藝!我一定還會再來品嘗。真是一個與朋友、美食及藝術相伴的極好夜晚。
