寶藍色並不是容易駕馭的顏色，但身形苗條的小S 徐熙娣卻完全勝任，上身的透視設計展現性感一 面，泡泡袖則顯得年輕化，再大膽配以黃色眼影， 盡顯心思，極有新鮮感。
祖兒這Off-white花花裙猶如油畫般，古典又傳統， 皺摺做得很美和有層次感，非常立體，配以誇張的 珍珠耳環和白色短靴，更是錦上添花，時尚感即時 倍增。
穿上Monique Lhuillier花裙的顏卓靈，甜美又青春， 粉色調令人看得舒服，由上至下漸變色的層次感更 是討好；簡單襯以裸色高跟鞋和粉色妝容，已令人 眼前一亮。
Royal blue is not for everyone, but it looks perfect on Dee — aka Xiao S. The top part of the dress is sexy and the balloon sleeves make her look young. It is fresh and smart to match the dress with yellow eyeshadow.
Joey’s off-white floral dress is like an oil painting, classic and traditional. The layering of the dress is indicative of how well it is made. It matches nicely with white pearl earrings and white boots.
Cherry looks young and sweet in Monique Lhuillier’s floral dress. The pastel colour is very appealing, and the gradient shade from top down is the highlight. A pair of nude-colour heels and light makeup complete the look perfectly.

Happily EvEr aftEr A few months ago, Christine Kuo posted a picture of her engagement ring on Instagram, announcing that she and auto racer William Lu were getting married. We talked to Christine recently to learn her views about weddings, how she overcame adversity in both her love life and work life, and her tips on staying beautiful despite a busy schedule.

The reason Lu was successful in winning the heart of our beloved Christine is because he had the right combination of boldness and caring. “I like that he is straightforward and responsible, and loves my family,” Kuo says with a smile. “Although he has a rather macho appearance, he is a very detail-oriented person, which is exactly my opposite. “For example, when I travel for work, he will make reservations at a local restaurant, so our team can go to the restaurant after work and enjoy a great meal. It could be because he himself would like to eat there, but we are usually so tired that we’d rather head back to the hotel and rest.” Kuo says she has never has wedding dreams, although admitting “I may have paid some attention to other friends’ weddings.”

“But I don’t obsess over them. The wedding itself is only a ceremony. What’s most important is how the two people really work together and live the rest of their lives together.” Strictly speaking, she is not planning the wedding, but rather she is “being planned.” “William is quite a control freak, so everything is handled by him,” she concedes. “The wedding arrangements keeps changing. He says that he will tell me what time to appear on that day and everything will be fine. I think he should do whatever he likes, and just surprise me.” One person likes to control, while the other is easygoing. Does that sound like a perfect match? Well . . . “I really like children, but he is afraid of them,” Kuo says.” I thought about giving up the idea of having children, but I think my life will not be complete without being a mother. So, when he proposed, I said that we needed to have a mutual understanding on this topic. “So, he agreed to have one child, but we would have to wait four years. I thought it would be great to give him four years’ time to prepare for being a dad, while continuing to enjoy being a child himself.”

The tourbillion, jumping hour and retrograde are lined up neatly in
an 8 shape on the clean-cut grand feu enamel white dial. The brand’s
new attempts at jumping hour and retrograde are rather dazzling. The enamel is crafted by hollowing out parts of the solid gold base, then filling them with multiple layers of enamel before hand-painting. The platinum model, at 42 millimetres, goes for about $236,000.
Breguet
Classique Tourbillon Extra-Plat Automatique 5367
Breguet的陀飛輪將簡約美發揚光大，一條橫桿將陀飛輪

比，更減去動力儲備顯示，看得人格外舒服。Breguet Grandes Complications首現的大明火琺瑯錶盤更是吸睛搶眼焦點。鉑金款 式約售21.1萬。
Brequet’s tourbillon demonstrates less is more. The dial is clean
and simple, featuring only the tourbillion at 5 o’clock and the hour and
minute hands. Unlike its predecessor Ref. 5377, this version has done away with the power reserve indicator for a better look. It’s the first
time a Breguet Grandes Complications watch has featured a grand feu enamel dial. The watch in platinum costs about $211,000.

The case and the dial are fashioned with Carbon Thin Ply, which is hardy and, more importantly, delivers superior sound transmission to amplify sound by 10 per cent, compared to titanium. The case is 40 millimetres in diameter and 6.85 millimetres thick, and houses a hand-winding BVL 362 mechanism at 3.12 millimetres thick. Only 50 pieces are made, at $208,000 each.

輪、時間等式、月相、日出日落等功能的L.U.C All in One，是僅次於去年 以水晶製三問部件的第二複雜L.U.C作品，總共有十四項功能顯示，L.U.C 05.01-L機芯由多達516個零件組成，已獲COSC及日內瓦認證。玫瑰金款 式約售45.8萬，鉑金款式約售48.6萬。 It has to have everything to live up to the “All in One” name, and it does —
from perpetual calendar to tourbillon, equation-of-time calculator, moon phase, sunrise and sunset displays and more. Boasting 14 complications all up, it is the second-most complicated L.U.C watch after last year’s crystal minute repeater. The L.U.C 05.01-L mechanism is made up of 516 parts. The watch is COSC and Geneva certified. The rose gold version is going for $458,000 and the platinum for $486,000.

Big Bang Sapphire Tourbillon
Hublot造藍寶石水晶殼已是手到拿來，這次則務求每一個部 件都通透過人。新作除了部分金屬齒輪及螺絲外，無論機芯橋 板、外殼、陀飛輪搭橋等全部零件皆是透明。腕錶殼直徑45毫
米，搭載HUB6016手上鏈機芯，擁有115小時動力儲備，定價約 18.2萬。
Hublot has refined its craft in making sapphire crystal cases. This time, it aims to make every part transparent. Other than some metal
gears and screws, most parts in the new watch are see-through, be it the bridge, the case or the tourbillon bridge. The watch measures 45 millimetres and features an HUB6016 hand-winding movement that
offers 115 hours of power reserve. The price is set at about $182,000.

Lang & Heyne Anton
十年前獨立製錶師Marco Lang覺得市場上太多陀飛輪，不想
隨波逐流。惟去年造了一枚很多人形容「後面比前面更精采」的小 三針Georg後，看着六時位置的小秒針盤，Lang覺得可以放進陀 飛輪，結果花了一年時間，造出品牌首枚陀飛輪作品Anton。玫瑰 金款約售83萬、鉑金約售15.7萬。 A decade ago, independent watchmaker Marco Lang made a
decision not to make a tourbillon, for there already were plenty of them on the market. Last year, he made a small second Georg, a watch that is said to be more interesting at the back than the front. Lang thought he could put a tourbillon at 6 o’clock where the small second was. So he spent a year to create Anton, the brand’s first tourbillon. The rose gold version is going for $136,000 and the platinum for $157,000.

MasterGraff Ultra Flat Tourbillon “Graffiti” 今年Graff集中火力展現錶盤工藝，這款"Graffiti"一共有四 枚，按Japanese Street Art的當代藝術設計，有藝伎及動畫人物 等，色彩鮮豔豐富。向來大明火琺瑯只能燒出三數種色調，這次 為了造出繽紛效果，特意選用低溫琺瑯，僅以180度燒出超過十種 色調。43毫米直徑的玫瑰金、玫瑰金鑲鑽及鉑金外殼，每款都是 只此一枚。 Graff is finessing the dial this year, with four interpretations in the “Graffiti” collection, featuring colourful geisha and anime figures inspired by contemporary Japanese Street Art artworks. Usually, only three colours can be produced for grand feu enamels. In this case, lower temperature at 180oC was used to fire the enamel to produce more than 10 colours. Only one piece is produced for each version, in 43-millimetre rose gold, rose gold with diamonds and platinum.

Harry Winston Project Z12
今年是品牌用鋯合金造錶第十二個年頭，去年以大日曆做主 角，今年回歸至品牌最愛的逆跳功能。在42.2毫米直徑的錶盤中 央有一條紐約曼哈頓大橋橫跨，既代表着品牌發源地，亦清晰地 將上下逆跳時分分離，錶盤外圍還有一個藍寶石水晶製日期圈， 由一個小方格在數字下方轉動，顯示日期，定價約3.3萬。
In its 12th year of using Zalium™ alloy for its watches, Harry
Winston goes back to the brand’s signature retrograde to follow the Big Date of last year. The bridge in the centre of the 42.2-millimetre
dial evokes a Manhattan bridge as a tribute to New York, where Harry
Z Zenith
Winston’s story began. The bridge also demarcates the retrogrades
for the hours and the minutes. A sapphire crystal date disc sits below the dial and a luminescent square moves beneath the numbers to indicate the date. The price is approximately $33,000.

to trim the price, excessive complication and size. Defy Zero G is a reinterpretation of a 2013 watch featuring Gravity Control and is 30 per cent smaller than the previous version. The Gravity Control is located at 6 o’clock. The watch, at 44 millimetres, is powered by an El Primero 8812 S hand-winding calibre. The rose gold watch is priced at about $166,000.

H. Moser & Cie
Swiss Alp Watch Minute Repeater Tourbillon
第一次造三問，Moser揀了雙游絲陀飛輪跟它搭配，藍色煙
燻效果呈馬賽克立體美態，其實是以雷射雕刻技術做出噴砂效 果。搭載C901機芯的腕錶，年產量只有五枚，在會場展示的唯一 一枚，已經被香港客訂了。約售40萬。
For its first minute repeater, Moser uses a flying tourbillon to ramp
it up. Laser etching makes the dial look like a mosaic of blue shades.
It features the C901 calibre, and only five pieces are made each year. The only piece shown at the show was snapped up on the spot by a Hong Kong buyer for a price of approximately $400,000.

Peripheral automatic winding is Carl F. Bucherer’s unique
complication. This one features a double peripheral, one to produce
power for the CFB T3000 calibre and the other to negate the need for a tourbillon bridge and make it a floating tourbillon for a sassier look.
Only 100 mechanisms will be produced a year. The watch is going for $95,000.

Nautilus gives Aquanaut in the same family a run for its money,

大新上位hot trends，善用資 源還是其次，最重要是美得 合時。 Here are the eight hottest trends of 2018. Corset外穿這玩意在Kim Kardashian等名人效應下曾流行一 時，可是新季顯然不復再，解開束 縛，換上的是更為優雅sophisticated 的wrap belt，不論是富和服色彩 的腰帶，或是像Off-White推出的 parachute belt，都能為造型塑造出 迷人線條。

other celebrities, but not this season. Replacing the restrictive corset is the more elegant and sophisticated wrap belt. Whether used on the waist in a kimono obi style, or a parachute belt as introduced by Off-White, the wrap belt is key to sculpturing alluring lines.
比起corset，wrap belt 能塑造出較和諧的比例。 Compared to the corset, a wrap belt results in a more balanced look.

據說涼鞋起源自埃及，當地人為了避免在沙地上行走 時，因地面乾燥而有損傷，所以用草繩編結成和腳大小相約 的鞋底，以生牛皮把它們固定在腳上。 單穿涼鞋或是配上襪子的風潮蘊釀了好幾年，今季更加 全面入屋，例如Louis Vuitton、Prada、Jil Sander、Dries Van Noten等多個品牌均推出不同特色的涼鞋，配上短褲、 長褲、運動褲或是西褲同樣覺得好看。心水推介Hermès黑 白黃交錯的皮涼鞋，充滿夏日色彩；再大膽一點，Maison Margiela的高達色涼鞋便相當吸睛。至於Boss的藍色帶及 Fendi大玩logo的涼鞋同樣走親民路線，低調地彰顯品味。
Sandals are said to have originated in Egypt, where people used straw macramé to make the soles and rawhide to secure them to the feet. It has been fashionable to wear sandals, with or without socks. This season, Louis Vuitton, Prada, Jil Sander and Dries Van Noten all offer a variety of sandal styles to go with shorts, long pants, sweat pants or dress pants. Our favourite is the Hermès leather sandals in black, white and yellow, which are perfect for the summer. If you prefer a bolder style, Maison Margiela’s brightly coloured sandals are quite eye-catching, while Boss’s blue strap sandals and Fendi’s logo sandals are casual, yet tasteful.

Il Posto 4866 Delta Street, Delta BC. 604.946.1300 ilpostoresto.com Hours: Tue - Thu, 4:30 p.m. - 9:30 p.m.; Fri - Sat, 4:30 p.m. - late; Sun, 4:30 p.m. - 9 p.m.
Pichor and wife Julie Marcopoulos, who is from the area and grew up in the restaurant business, get back to basics and use high-quality and locally produced ingredients to cook in the most simplistic way. They design their ‘alla famiglia’-style menu around some fundamental Italian representations: simple, sharing, approachable and freshness. Local farms provide the freshest in-season products right to their kitchen, which has allowed this “new kid on the block” to become the proud new local restaurant for the community. Decorated interior designer Daniel Meloché has utilized light-coloured oak for Il Posto’s tables and chairs, Italian tiles and modern lighting to energize and brighten up the space. The restaurant is split into three main dining areas, with seating for 68 (30 of those are patio seats). The 3,000-square-foot establishment also features a bar and an open-concept kitchen, complete with a custom-built brick pizza oven. In addition to an excellent wine list, Il Posto also produces Bicicletta and Bellini cocktails with Campari, Prosecco and vermouth. Try the famed American Amaretto Sour. Its sweet-andsour taste will surely relax and chill you down on a hot summer day. What would an Italian restaurant be without pasta? Il Posto’s Spaghetti Bolognese blends minced beef with Parmesan cheese and homemade garlic sauce for an amazing flavour. Fusilli Pesto utilizes arugula and walnuts — rather than the traditional basil and pine nuts — combining them with olive oil, kale, pecorino cheese and mushrooms for a fabulous dish. Not to be missed is the Linguini Vongole, combining clams, guanciale and white wine. It’s to die for. When it comes to meatballs, Pichor incorporates garlic bread crumbs into the ingredients, which makes them extra juicy and fresh. Topped with homemade tomato sauce and shredded pecorino cheese, the taste is addictive. The highlight of the menu is its comprehensive list of 11 oven pizza choices, from classic Italian margherita, giardino, funghi and carbonara to American Hawaiian and New York Brooklyn styles. Il Posto’s margherita pizza is meticulously made, presented in the green, white and red tricolours of Italy. It features high-quality
Ladner觀鳥勝地 Hotspot for birdwatchers 位於Ladner及三角洲菲沙河的河口，由於水產豐富而成為雀鳥 天堂，是觀鳥熱點，不少人遊Ladner必到那裡的雀鳥保護區George C. Reifel Migratory Bird Sanctuary參觀。該處為全加拿大92個聯邦 候鳥保護棲息地之一，佔地850畝，是由濕地、沼澤與河堤組成。 每年從十月到十二月初，是候鳥從北至南飛的遷徙期，期間可 看到大群水禽如鴨、鵝、天鵝、雪雁等。現時已有290種鳥類被記 錄曾於此停留，從野鴨、加拿大鵝、雪雁到更為罕見的物種，如黑 冠夜鷺等都有。 到了三月至四月，候鳥又開始了牠們的遷徙北征，大部分鴨子 和雪雁向北移動，數以千計的水鳥飛越三角洲向北飛至原來繁衍之 地。由於菲沙河有豐富魚穫，鷹、鸕鶿和其他吃魚的鳥類亦會飛近 河口覓食。四月份也是許多綠頭鴨、加拿 大鵝、sandhill crane在這裡築巢的季節， 並且在夏季養育牠們的下一代。在這裡全 年有大部份時間都是觀賞雀鳥不同生態的 好地方。 The George C. Reifel Migratory Bird Sanctuary, a hotspot for area birdwatchers, is located on the outskirts of Ladner. It consists of nearly 350 hectares of managed wetlands, natural marshes and low dykes in the heart of the Fraser River Estuary. It is one of 92 federal migratory bird sanctuaries in Canada. From October to early December is the best time to see large flocks of waterfowl (ducks, geese and swans) during southbound migration, as they feed and rest in the estuary and ponds. Highlights include the very friendly George C. Reifel mallards, sandhill cranes and blackMigratory Bird Sanctuary capped chickadees, as well as a diverse assortment of hawks, eagles and owls. The small northern saw-whet owl is a visitor favourite, and great horned owls often begin their winter courtship here, with the pair often seen roosting together in the firs. By March and April, reverse migration is underway, with most of the ducks and the snow geese moving north, along with the passage of thousands of shorebirds through the Fraser Delta. Western sandpipers moving north to Arctic breeding grounds often stop here to feed and roost in the managed shallow ponds of the sanctuary. Many ducks and geese are nesting here by April, and spend the summer rearing their young and moulting and refreshing their feathers. Mallards, gadwalls and Canada geese nest in the quiet grassy areas of the sanctuary.

If you’re planning to go for dinner and are nursing a big appetite, you won’t go wrong by starting off with the Alsatian-Style Onion Tart, or their FoieGras Terrine. For the main course, try the Grilled Veal Medallions with Veal Demi-Glace and Morel Mushrooms, or their popular Sautéed imported Dover Sole served with classic butter sauce. That sole entrée is the very same dish Julia Child enjoyed at her first meal at the famous La Couronne restaurant in Rouen, Normandy after arriving in France to join her diplomat husband Paul. To finish off dinner, try the Chocolate Cake with an Orange Reduction and Nougatine Ice Cream, or their Alsatian-Style Apple Tart, which restaurant patrons have swooned over.
A WARM AND INVITING PLACE While it’s a popular fine-dining restaurant, Le Crocodile is surprisingly not intimidating. Jacob is definitely a small-town boy, and his warm and humble influence is evident. Servers are courteous and do everything in their power 阿爾薩斯洋荵煙肉撻。 Alsatian tartelette with bacon and onion
to make you feel comfortable. The interior is low-key and does not have that “wow” factor associated with many restaurants-of-the-moment. Apart from the food itself, the customers are definitely the stars. Jacob
經典美食推介 如若打算到Le Crocodile享用晚餐，不妨考慮以阿爾薩斯風 格的洋蔥餡餅或是鵝肝凍糕作頭盤，肯定不會失望。主菜方面， 嗜肉者可嘗試他們的香烤小牛肉片，配上小牛肉燒汁及莫雷爾蘑 菇。喜歡吃魚的話，一定要試試多佛龍利魚配經典牛油汁；這道 菜式是名廚Julia Child當年由美國遠赴法國諾曼第魯昂市與外交 大使夫君相會，在第一家餐廳 – 著名的La Couronne進餐時享用 的。要為美味一餐劃上甜蜜句號，可選擇他們的巧克力蛋糕配香 橙濃汁及花生牛軋糖雪糕，或者是他們的阿爾薩斯風格蘋果撻， 同樣令食客傾倒。
盡享歸屬感 以一家受歡迎的高檔餐廳來說，Le Crocodile並沒讓客人感 到有壓迫感。Michel來自法國小城鎮，溫暖和謙遜的特質，在餐 廳內外均顯而易見。侍應們很有禮貌，竭盡全力讓你感覺舒適。 由Vern Foster設計的內部裝潢採低調路線，並沒「嘩眾取寵」的元 素。客人絕對是這裡的天王巨星。Michel希望你帶著整個家庭前 來，年復一年地歡度各項里程碑慶典。Michel熱情友善，全不矯 扭造作，像個人人喜愛的叔叔；亦不在乎你是穿著西裝或是T恤前
wants you to come and bring your entire family to celebrate milestone events year after year, as they invariably do. He is warm and friendly, definitely not pretentious — like a favourite uncle. And he doesn’t care if you come in wearing a suit or a T-shirt, which is why people come back repeatedly. Several well-known names in the culinary world started their careers at Le Crocodile, like Rob Feenie, David Hawksworth and Ned Bell — all of whom have all gone on to successful careers on their own. They all give Jacob credit for giving them their start. In 2013, Jacob celebrated his 30th year by creating a “Mentor’s Series” of dinners and invited several of the city’s top chefs to participate. “Although the hours are long, working in a restaurant is a great job,” says Jacob. “I love doing it because people come here to celebrate something, and I like to be there when they’re happy.” It’s no wonder Le Crocodile has been around 35 years and is still going strong.
來，親切殷勤的服務也是贏取忠實客戶的原因之一。
培育大廚溫床 業內幾位知名大廚師，如Rob Feenie，David Hawksworth和 Ned Bell均在Le Crocodile起步，現都各自踏上成功路，他們同歸 功於Michel給他們一個很好的開始。2013年，Michel慶祝他的第 30個年頭，創出了Mentor’ s Series《良師系列》晚宴，並邀請城中 幾位頂級大廚參與。Michel說：「雖然工作時間長，但在餐廳工作 是相當精采的。我喜歡我的工作，能夠在這裡與客人分享他們的 快樂時光，實在是愉快的經驗。」35年的成功，絕非偶然。

1855年，拿破崙三世舉行巴 黎世界博覽會，下令給波爾 多酒莊排列等級，這個The Médoc Classification等級制 度，今天法國人依然遵循， 雖則它已無法百分百反映現 況，卻始終是個很具價值(且 仍在增長)的無形資產。 At the 1855 Exposition Universelle de Paris, Napoleon III campaigned for a classification system for Bordeaux wines and the Médoc Classification was born. Though the system conceived more than a century ago no longer fully reflects contemporary standards, it is still being followed and is considered a valuable, intangible asset.
Chateau Palmer戲劇性的Neo-Renaissance古堡建築，是 Margaux村莊中兩大地標之一，另一地標便是散發NeoPalladian式典雅的Chateau Margaux。 Chateau Palmer’ s dramatic Neo-Renaissance chateau is one of two landmark structures in Margaux village. The other one is Neo-Palladian Chateau Margaux.

02•Thomas Duroux於2004年加盟Chateau Palmer，推行酒莊現代 化改革不遺餘力，生物動力自然農耕法便是其得意之作。 Thomas Duroux joined Chateau Palmer in 2004, and has been instrumental in modernizing the winery. Biodynamic farming has been his vital contribution.
02
In the wine classification system dating back to Napoleon III, there are five growth levels, based upon the wine’s reputation and price. Chateau Palmer Margaux of Médoc, Bordeaux was ranked Third Growth, and it doesn’t seem content to stay there.
在拿破崙三世的酒莊級別版圖中，波爾多Médoc 地區中的Margaux村莊內，擁有三級身份的Chateau Palmer，似乎是近年「被」最不安於本份的一家酒莊。 十年前香港某投資型飲家宣揚其以三級價錢大手購入 一級酒莊（以酒質論）的紅酒；亦多謝他的高調推廣， 今天Chateau Palmer的身價(定價)確與一級酒莊走得 很近。Chateau Palmer的現任CEO及釀酒師Thomas Duroux滿有信心說他們向來自視與一級酒莊並無太大 分別。
to his boast, the value of Chateau Palmer wines is nudging much closer to First Growth. Thomas Duroux, Chateau Palmer’s CEO and winemaster since 2004, says they have always seen themselves on par with First Growth wineries. More than 200 years ago, English General Charles Palmer bought Chateau de Gascq from the Gascq family and renamed it Chateau Palmer. The winery was overhauled and the wines soon became popular among the royals and nobility.
話說二百多年前，英國將軍Charles Palmer從 Gascq家族購入這原名為Chateau de Gascq的酒 莊，改名為Chateau Palmer並大事改革，出品大獲 英國皇室及貴族上流好友青睞，酒莊亦開始向著「能 與Chateau Margaux相提並論」邁步。但奈何將軍財 困，酒莊於1855年前易手。直到今天仍有說 法，稱將軍當年若銀彈充裕可作些「疏通」， Chateau Palmer便不會只是三級云云…… 想知道這家三級酒莊為何能以一級酒 莊價格售出的箇中因由？最實際當是是 問問真金白銀付上鈔票的飲家（或投 資者） 。若你去問Thomas Duroux， 相信他亦會欣然回答酒莊是如何得 天獨厚、在葡萄種植(罕有的波爾 多列級酒莊探用全Biodynamic生 物動力自然農耕法)及釀酒方面的 種種技術發展……
Ten years ago, a Hong Kong wine connoisseur/investor boasted that he had acquired a large quantity of first-class red wines at third-growth prices. Thanks
03
Sadly, Palmer got into financial troubles and the winery changed hands again before 1855. It’s been speculated that had Palmer had the financial muscle to influence the classification results, Chateau Palmer wouldn’t have been languishing in the Third Growth category. So the story went. What enables this Third Growth winery to command First Growth prices? This is best answered by those who put their money where their palates are. Duroux would probably credit the rich soil, the biodynamic growing methods adopted by Bordeaux wineries and the technological innovations applied to winemaking.
04
03•Chateau Palmer亦有價格相對較便宜的Alter Ego。 Chateau Palmer also offers a more budget-friendly choice, Alter Ego. 04•以被譽為 「世紀之年」 的2005配以Philippe Onrrico的烤鴿子， 就是不可多得的一級波爾多風味。 The 2005“vintage of the century”delivers full Bordeaux flavours when paired with Philippe Onrrico’ s duck confit.

Being fully aware of their clients’ busy schedules, attendants lead you to a luxurious express massage chair equipped with advanced software to promote deep meditation and relaxation. If your hands or forearms are feeling a bit tired from too much keyboard work — or golf — allow The Spa’s expert staff to pamper you with a hand or upper-back massage that will not only help you recover from a hard day’s work (or play), but also allow your muscles to loosen up and relax.

When Justin Timberlake walked through the James Hotel’s secret entrance to the Seville and started dancing, he unknowingly put a celebrity stamp of coolness on the red-hot growing trend of speakeasies. Speakeasies were where people drank during the Prohibition era of the 1920s. Because the manufacture and sale of alcohol was illegal in the U.S. during this period, these spots needed to be well-hidden. They were found behind fake walls and under trap doors at barber shops, bakeries, and — I am not sure if it’s folklore or real — an ice cream parlour. To enter, one needed to know the password.

長島距離紐約Penn火車站僅一小時車程。怡人的氣候、長 120公里的沙灘以及延綿起伏的田野景色，吸引了美國的富豪貴 胄在這裡興建度假別墅，尤其於1920年代更是巔峰時期，電影 《大亨小傳》對當時的情況有不少著墨。我在這家位於Jedediah Hawkins Inn內的地下酒吧門外，看到張貼著以下一些守則： 「男士不容許接近女士。不准大笑，不准大聲叫囂，不准叫喊 或作出任何嘈吵行為。在離開酒吧前跟友人說再見。離開酒吧時 必須迅速及安靜。在酒吧以外地方不准提及酒吧。滴酒不沾最危 險之處就是過分清醒。」 禁酒令讓地下酒吧賣酒要低調神秘，那富豪們怎麼辦，莫非 Vanderbilt、Roosevelt及Guggenheim等在豪華別墅中開派對時， 都只是只玩不飲？ 事實是，這些 「老兄們」 (old sports)絕對可以盡情狂飲。 因為禁酒令只禁止銷售、釀造及運輸酒精飲品，但不禁止擁 有及飲用酒精飲品。富豪權貴早於憲法第18修正案頒布之前，已 大量囤積酒精飲品。加上長島擁有延綿海岸線的地理優勢，簡直 是走私者的天堂，亦有助富豪們輕易從非法途徑購入走私酒。 他們的私人派對確實是奢華極致。我在猶太籍金融家及慈 善家Otto Hermann Kahn的度假別墅Oheka Castle逗留了半天， Taylor Swift曾在這裡拍攝《Blank Space》的MV，而電影《大國 民》一開場的場景亦在這裡拍攝。別墅面積達109,000平方呎， 是美國第二大巨宅。回溯到1920年的全盛時期，意大利著名男

04•怎猜得到，這家位於長島North Fork的優雅莊園式 酒店Jedediah Hawkins Inn，竟然隱藏了一家秘密酒 吧。根據酒店網頁資料顯示，酒店建築物建於1863 年，它曾經是North Fork最高尚的豪宅，後來日久 失修更傳出鬧鬼。不過現已重新翻新成為這家別緻 的精品酒店。 Who would have guessed that there is a secret bar tucked away in the basement of the acclaimed Jedediah Hawkins Inn, an elegant mansion amid a pastoral setting in North Fork, Long Island? Built in 1863, the mansion was one of the finest residences on the North Fork before falling “into disrepair and becoming ‘haunted’”, says its website. It is now fully restored as a luxury boutique hotel with ample historic charm. jedediahhawkinsinn.com 05•Oheka Castle曾被 《紐約時報》 形容為 「美國最高尚的 鄉郊大宅」 ，經翻新現已成為全球最尊貴的婚宴場地 之一。大家可選擇在這裡享用一頓浪漫晚餐 (私人 宴會房間由$1,500起) 。莊園共有32間精心設計的 客房，房價每晚由$395至$1,095。莊園亦歡迎大家 參觀 (導賞遊連午餐$50) 。以上價格為美元。 Once described by the New York Times as the “finest country house in America”, the restored Oheka Castle is now touted as one of the most prestigious wedding and event venues in the world.

Do not speak of the speakeasy outside of the speakeasy. The hazard of not drinking is remaining sober.” Speakeasies were meant to be hush-hush, but what about those lavish parties held at the palatial summer homes of the Vanderbilt, Roosevelt and Guggenheim families? Surely those “old sports” would not take it “dry”?

2018年款的Audi S5 Sportback具備跑車的動力和家庭車的實用性， 試駕後更覺這是一部全能的轎跑車。相信部分打算購買SUV或旅行 車的人士，看過S5 Sportback後可能會轉投這部轎跑車的懷抱。 Audi calls its 2018 S5 Sportback a “no compromise” vehicle that offers the power of a sports car and the practicality of a family sedan. After a few days with one, I couldn’t have said it better myself. This is a sports sedan that really does it all. And for today’s buyer who has his/her eye on an SUV or a wagon, the S5 Sportback is one car that might actually change a few minds and bring people back into the sedan fold.
