BBQ - 20091101

By "improvisation", somehow, I went to BBQ today.

BBQ is such a "Hong Kong style" term. I have no idea whether foreigners would call barbecue so. BBQ has left me long. From my very vague memory, the last occasion that I had a touch on BBQ should be several years ago, with my mum and uncle etc, in 流水嚮.

From BBQ, we could see how agile Hong Kongers could be. According to my limited understanding, the choice of food for westerners' barbecue is very limited. The main course should be meats, together with some vegetables to accomplish the dish, and that's it. However, to we Hong Kongers, anything you could imagine, it could be BBQed. The classic one should be 棉花糖. Now, people are so sophisticated that they would prepare all sorts of yummy for BBQ. Prawns, scallops, sweet potatoes . . . and sweet soup as a final note to finish the BBQ. It's simply buffet.

Though to ordinary lazy Hong Kongers, for the sake of convenience, many of them would simply buy those pickled assorted meats, which are with ambiguous colours. These meats could never be described as fresh and delicious, normally speaking. However, the flavour of it is so "old time", which the taste of nostalgia emerges, and I had a mouth of it today.

In autumn time, with such a wonderful atmosphere, BBQ is especially welcome.
