COVER STORY 作為一個殺手，槍是主要武器，不得不苦練。「記得第一次去槍房練 習，只有一、兩百呎的密室，每一槍都好像爆炸般巨響，我戴了耳塞， 耳膜仍然痛，反被槍嚇到，但我一定要克服。」 於是她每星期去槍房兩、三次，不斷射子彈「燒錢」，終於練成開槍 不皺眉。「導演曾經叫我用AK重型步槍，兩支大炮『澎』那款，我說控制 不到，結果用了一款相對輕盈的長槍做我的主要武器，for一個嬌滴滴女 生，我覺得頗有型。」

白花油自救 更有型的是，《激戰》的張家輝都被她打得落花流水，顯得格外武藝 高強。「最初導演說要我跟家輝哥打，我不知有多怕，『殘輝』喎，怎麼夠 打呀？！但家輝哥超級照顧我，反而怕弄傷我，叫我放心騎他打他，哈... 哈...」入行12年，Janice Man才等到這個令人刮目相看的反派角色，做演 員的確很被動。「不可以心急，我不太認同甚麼戲都接，對，可以練到演 技，但我會選擇拍電視劇，天天拍十五小時，磨到你不會都變會，EQ也 同時提升。」 As a killer, the gun is the weapon of choice, so Man had to train hard to hone her shooting skills.

“I remember the first time I went to practise at a shooting practice room. It was a closed room. Every shot produced a loud explosive sound.

Even though I wore ear plugs, my ear drums still hurt. I was a bit afraid of the gun in the beginning, but I knew I had to overcome the fear.”

She practised two or three times a week, burning through money, firing shot after shot.

“The director asked her to use an AK-type heavy machine gun.

You know, carrying two cannons and going ‘pop, pop.’ I thought I couldn’t handle it, so we switched to a pair of pikes, which are lighter in comparison. For a delicate girl, I thought the pikes were rather cool.”

Saving oneself with white flower oil Even cooler was that Nick Cheung, the lead from Unbeatable, was pounded by her superior martial-arts skills.

“At first, the director said I was to have fight scenes with Nicky. I was quite afraid. Nicky has quite a reputation as an action actor. How was I to be his match? But Nicky was super-protective of me. He was instead worried about hurting me, and told me not to hold back in my holds and punches. Ha…ha…”

After 12 years in the business, Man finally got this antagonist role and the chance for audiences to view her differently. It is certainly true that actors are often passively influenced by their circumstances.

“I couldn’t be too impatient,” she says. “I don’t believe that you should take every role. Yes, you can build your acting skills that way, but I would rather choose to be in a TV series. That way, you work 15 hours a day, and you learn everything quickly. Your EQ improves quickly.”

At first glance, this tailored black maxi looks unremarkable, but there is actually more to it. The dress is made from a fabric that combines velvet, crepe and leather - full of texture. But the style is too simple, and does not make a strong first impression.

It is not easy to abandon a familiar look, just like the usually elegant Weisz wearing this half see-through maxi with flora patterns all over. Although the look lacks sexiness, the overall feel is refreshing and definitely commendable.

中國古代《蟻俠》？ 唐代傳奇小說《聶隱娘》，其實是一個奇幻故事：聶隱 娘是唐末河北魏博節度使田季安部下的女兒，十歲時被一 個道姑綁架，訓練成殺手後送回魏博，之後情節還有聶隱 娘化為蚊（中國古代《蟻俠》？）、給人神奇藥丸保平安等， 頗神怪，「侯導給我看原著時，沒說過會怎樣改編，我也以 為他會拍一個科幻故事。」那時正是他們首次合作之後，即 2005年的《最好的時光》，轉眼十年，結果現在侯導的版本 電影中張震的角色其實頗暴戾又剛愎自用，另一男角，妻 夫木聰演的磨鏡少年則是帶着陽光笑容的青年，剛好是一 個相反，讓聶隱娘得到解脫。 Zhang Zhen’s character is brutal and hard-headed, a contrast to another actor Satoshi Tsumabuki, a sunny and youthful mirror polisher who gives Nie Yin Niang a way out.

很踏實，聶隱娘不懂變大變小，但也會用輕功飛來飛去， 不過亦以「真」為大前提，「我們打得頗多，打戲都是拍攝當 日早上排練，然後下午一直打，他少少的動作都要修正， 我們蠻辛苦的，哈哈。」劇情則變成藩主田季安（張震飾）是 聶隱娘（舒淇飾）的表哥，二人本來有婚約，但田氏為了增 加勢力，讓元氏（周韻飾）嫁給田季安，聶隱娘則上山跟道

Interview

China’s ancient Ant Man?

“The camera will be set up and begin to roll when we are getting

Tang legend Nie Yin Niang is really a fantasy story. Nie, the daughter of a man who worked for General Tian Ji’an based in Hebei’s Weibo in the Tang dynasty, was kidnapped by a Taoist nun at age 10 and trained to be an assassin before she was sent home. There are plots in which Nie turns into a mosquito (China’s version of Ant Man perhaps?) or gives people magic potions as remedies.

“When Hou gave me the original story to read, he didn’t say how he would change it,” Xhang recalled. “I thought he was going to do a sci-fi story.”

The duo was reunited for the first time since doing Three Times in 2005.

In the end, Hou’s version of Niez is rather down to earth – she doesn’t transform from small to large size, though she can zip around flying, in kind of a “realistic” way.

“There were a fair bit of fighting scenes,” Zhang said. “Most of them were rehearsed in the morning of the day of filming, and then we kept fighting throughout the afternoon. He would make the smallest corrections to the moves. It was hard work.”

The storyline has been modified. General Tian (Zhang) is the cousin of Nie (Shu Qi). They are betrothed to each other, but Tian marries Lady Yuan (Zhou Yun) instead, in order to expand his power base. Nie runs away to the mountains to train as an assassin with a Taoist nun.

When her training is completed, the very person the nun orders her to

‘Cut.’ LOL, we thought to ourselves, ‘Is it done yet?’ Keep this to yourself and don’t let him hear this.”

Zhang said Hou doesn’t want actors to rehearse because he wants an authentic feel. When actors get into positions, they do not know what chemistry they will have with the other actors. This can make even an experienced actor appear as green as normal people on screen.

In A Rolling Record of the Filming of The Assassin, written by The Assassin’s screenwriter Hsieh Hai-Meng, Zhang is said to try using a different way to interpret Tian. It looks like hard work for him, but such endless exploration may be the kind of fun that helps an actor discover his own possibilities.

The aftertaste of living “I worked for the first time with Hsieh Hsin-Ying who plays beloved concubine Huji,” said Zhang. “We did many takes for one scene. When we thought it was done, Hou asked us to film it again months later in a different setting.

“He didn’t say what was wrong with it. Having said that, it is interesting to try to build rapport with the fellow actor or even the

The story of The Assassin reads a bit like a tale of love and anguish in a royal court, reminiscent of Curse of the Golden Flower or Empress Wu. Yet in Hou’s hands, the only thing that one can be sure of is that there will be plenty of long shots.

“When I worked with Hou for the first time 10 years ago on Three Times, the script he gave us was like poems,” Zhang said as Hou was in another corner of the room for another interview. (We took a peek to make sure Hou was focusing on the interview and didn’t hear us.)

“I couldn’t get used to it. It’s better this time. The script is more like a script, but the way he directs is still the same -- very much like filming a

In addition to Three Times and The Assassin, Hou and Zhang worked together on the 2003 movie Coffee Jikou. Zhang fondly remembers the closing shot of a railway junction near the river with trains crisscrossing. Zhang thinks the shot is full of life force.

“In the end, another train goes in. It’s a really beautiful shot, and it leaves a certain inexplicable aftertaste. This is what life is about.”

That leads to the question: how will we savour Zhang Zhen years later?

舒淇在戲中只有9句對白，一生都在尋找自 己：自我的位置、價值、另一半。這也是她 少見穿殺手裝以外的鏡頭，那件山水畫裙美 極了。 Shu Qi has only nine lines in the entire movie, and is in search of herself her whole life: her own place and value in the world, and with her other half. This is a rare shot of her out of the assassin costumes, in a breathtaking landscape painting dress.

戲中每個角色都好似一直 「谷住谷住」 ，很多冤屈不知如何宣洩，這 是少有的開心場面，瑚姬跳舞，節度使田季安打鼓，「那個鼓我只 學了一個月，不過最難是你不知道導演甚麼時間才叫cut，我只好 一直打，哈哈，不過現在剪了不少鏡頭。」 All characters in the movie seem repressed, bottling up a lot of grievances. There is a rare happy scene when Huji dances and General Tian Ji’an plays the drum. “I only learned the drum for one month. The hardest part was we didn’t know when Director Hou was going to call ‘Cut,’ so I kept drumming away. Alas, much of the shot was cut.”

PAM590 8 days acciaio Luminor marina

很 簡 約 的 錶 盤 設 計 。 3 時 位 置 沒 有 阿 拉 伯 數 字 ， 而 換 上 了「 8 G I O R N I BREVETTATO」 字句，這個代表8日鏈的logo，首次出現於五十年代品牌為埃 及海軍生產的Submersible，之後也只曾亮相過3次，包括神級經典PAM203、 復刻60mm Big Egyptian的PAM341，還有近年大家熟知的啡陶Composite PAM339；所以說，這個大大logo本身已具備一定吸引力。 跟8日鏈標記遙遙相對的，是9時位置的小秒針，錶盤上還有仿變黃的小時刻 度，跟12時位置的白色品牌名字來個低調對比。設計雖懷舊，但這枚PAM590 並沒有採用昔日的Angelus Calibre，而是搭載品牌引以為豪的P.5000自家機 芯。大家翻轉錶背雖不能察看機芯律動，但密封底蓋刻上了品牌signature的魚 雷圖騰，對錶迷來說，又是另一賣點。最後一提，PAM590的Luminor錶殼並 不是47mm，採用的是小一點的44mm，會不會更襯它的典雅氣質？ （$9,400）

腕錶6時位置的線性顯示，並不是8天power reserve……對，這枚腕錶的主角 是太陽真時，想一窺PAM516的能量剩餘多少，要麻煩大家翻到錶背，看清楚 這個指針式能量儲存顯示。話說2005年品牌以四十年代的Angelus機芯作設計 靈感，推出P.2002手上鏈機芯，揭開自家研製機芯的序幕。接下來，P.2003、 P.2004、P.2005、P.9000、P.2006、P.3000、P.9100、P.9100R，再到去年的 P.4000及P.5000，數數手指，10隻手指都不夠用了……這裡搭載的P.2002/E機 芯，由P.2002作基礎研發而成，加上了 「E」 ，大概是代表增設Equation of Time功 能罷。 PAM516採用48mm以精鋼打造的Radiomir 1940錶殼，9時位置是小秒針，3時位 置同時具備日期窗及月份轉盤，動力儲存192小時，防水100米，限量200枚。如 果你喜歡Luminor 1950殼多點，可以考慮配備同樣功能的PAM601。 （$27,000）

The minimalistic dial etches “8 GIORNI BREVETTATO” in lieu of an Arabic number at 3 o’clock. This eight-day power reserve symbol first appeared in the Submersible collection that the brand produced for the Egyptian navy in the 1950s. It has appeared three times again since, in the classic PAM203, the retro 60-millimetre Big Egyptian PAM341 and the more recent Composite PAM339 brown ceramic. This is proof that the big logo has a certain appeal.

The linear display at 6 o’clock is not an eight-day power reserve indicator.

That’s right, as the star of the watch is the equation of time showing the difference between the mean time indicated by a watch and the true time indicated by the solar meridian. You have to look at the caseback to check power reserve through the needle indicator.

Opposite the logo at 9 o’clock are small seconds. The hour markers assume a yellow tint, in subtle contrast against the white of the watch brand beneath 12 o’clock. While the look is retro, this PAM590 isn’t using the Angelus Calibre from bygone years, but features the brand’s pride and joy, P.5000.

The solid caseback doesn’t show off the movement inside. Rather, it is engraved with the brand’s signature torpedo motif, another key selling point for the brand. It’s also worth mentioning that the Luminor case of PAM590 is not 47 millimetres, but a smaller 44 millimetres. Is this, perhaps, a reflection of its classiness? ($9,400)

2015

The brand launched the P.2002 hand-winding movement in 2005, inspired by the Angelus Calibre of the 1940s. It also paved the way for P.2003, P.2004, P.2005, P.9000, P.2006, P.3000, P.9100, P.9100R, and then last year’s P.4000 and P.5000. That’s more than we can count with our fingers. The P.2002/ E in this watch is an extension of P.2002, and the ‘E’ perhaps indicates the addition of the Equation of Time complication.

PAM516 uses 48-millimetre stainless steel Radiomir 1940 case. It features small seconds at 9 o’clock, date aperture and month sub-dial at 3 o’clock and power reserve of 192 hours. It is water resistant to 100 metres and limited to 200 pieces. If you prefer the Luminor 1950 case, the PAM601 with similar functions is an option. ($27,000)

在2012年以前，大家都以為Panerai的錶殼只有Radiomir及Luminor，後來品牌 回歸上世紀四十年代的設計，引入了結集兩者味道的Radiomir 1940錶殼。最 早期Panerai腕錶採用的是Radiomir殼，配上枕形形狀成為一代經典；在轉變為 後期大錶把Luminor款式前，中間曾出現過一個「過度性」設計，便是Radiomir 1940年殼。 最早期的Radiomir 1940都是搭載OP XXVII機芯，到了2013年，品牌推出很多 新作，全都用回自家機芯。這枚在2013年Watches&Wonders曝光的，是具備 最複雜功能的8日鏈計時錶，它搭載P.2004/10鏤通機芯，配備了3個發條鼓，長 動力顯示置於6時位置，以橫向線性指示。錶殼直徑是45mm，紅金殼配啡面的 PAM502，限量300枚，白金殼PAM503則配類似S.L.C的圓點刻度的黑色錶盤， 限量150枚。 （$55,000）

這個專題最便宜的8日鏈選擇，是這枚搭戴自家P.5000機芯的PAM609。P.5000 機芯於去年誕生，除了由兩個發條盒及連續齒輪替腕錶提供長達8日共192小時 的動力儲存外，P.5000機芯的最大特色就是穩健以及精準。穩健，是因為它構 造堅固，以上下兩層夾板保護內裡零件。 至於精準，則要由其平衡擺輪說起。設計上，平衡擺輪的夾板由兩顆螺絲在下 方固定，只要調校這兩顆螺絲，便能控制擺輪的擺動軸心幅度；至於振動間 距，則可透過擺輪外部的螺釘控制。以上兩項設計，均有助擒縱系統受到震盪 時，擺輪仍能穩定走動，確保腕錶的精確性。 P.5000並沒有power indicator，PAM609只於錶盤6時寫上 「8 DAYS」 以及在機芯 背部刻上 「EIGHT DAYS」 字眼，不嘩眾，也沒取寵。錶殼直徑45mm，以316L 精鋼打造，防水100米。 （$9,100）

Prior to 2012, people thought Panerai only had Radiomir and Luminor cases. Then the brand returned to its 1940s design and introduced the Radiomir 1940, blending the essence of the two cases. The earliest Panerai watches used the Radiomir case in the idiosyncratic cushion shape. In the interval of moving to the large-size Luminor, the Radiomir 1940 case appeared.

The most budget-friendly of the eight-day power reserves in this story, this watch features a proprietary P.5000 movement born last year. Other than having two barrels and continuous gears producing power reserve for 192 hours in eight days, the mechanism also boasts superior stability and precision. It is stable because it is solidly made, with the parts sandwiched between two metal plates.

The earliest Radiomir 1940 used the OP XXVII movement. By 2013, the brand introduced more new creations featuring its own movements. This watch, which debuted in the 2013 Watches&Wonders, has the most complicated eight-day power reserve chronograph, powered by P.2004/10 skeletonized movement. It has three barrels and a power reserve linear indicator at 6 o’clock. The PAM502 in a 45-millimetre rose gold case and brown dial is limited to 300 pieces. The PAM503 white gold version with S.L.C. dots for hour index on a black dial is a limited edition of 150 pieces. ($55,000)

As to precision, we have to start with the balance wheel. The bridge supporting the wheel is fixed by two screws that can be turned to adjust the end shake of the balance staff pivots. Its period of oscillation is adjusted by turning the little timing screws on the outside of the balance wheel. The two features work together to ensure the escapement keeps running precisely even at shock.

P.5000 doesn’t have a power indicator. Instead, it is marked “8 DAYS” at 6 o’clock and engraved “EIGHT DAYS” on the case back -- subtle, not brazen. The case in 316L stainless steel, measures 45 millimetres and is water resistant to 100 metres. ($9,100)

In order to create a one-of-akind cottage, the owner has used a simple and unique design to display his wine collection. Adding an unusual modern element — cables made from high-quality stainless steel pulled taught with tension mounts made of brass and brushed nickel — the ceiling connects with the floor. The Cable Wine System ® suspends bottles in the air, allowing them to hang from the ceiling to the floor. This “red wine curtain” becomes the focal point of the entire cellar.

Spanish cuisine, in particular the culture of tapas, has been an increasingly popular

愈來愈受食客歡迎。原因很簡單，tapas都是細細

份的小菜或前菜，點滿一桌子的tapas可與三五知

foods that vary in ingredients and preparation, with each region of Spain having its own

己一同分享，更可一次過品嚐多種以不同食材及烹

specialties. For example, the Basque Country in northern Spain often serves skewered

調方法製成的美食。西班牙不同地區都有其獨特的

small snacks that are called pintxos (derived from the Spanish word meaning “to pierce”).

tapas，如位於北部的Basque Country最常見到串燒

The approach is casual; guests are encouraged to graze on small plates, drink and

小吃，當地人稱為pintxos (西班牙語 「刺穿」 的意思)

socialize in a relaxed environment.

。提供tapas的餐廳一般都比較casual，食客可以在 輕鬆的環境下一邊品嚐各款精緻小碟，一邊與好友 把酒言歡。

Toronto hasn’t been immune; the city’s embrace of Spanish flavours in recent years has been supported by a number of great dining options, each with a unique guest experience. Whether you linger at one of the restaurants listed, or bar-hop to all five, there’s

這股tapas風潮亦席捲多倫多，近年多間西班牙 餐廳皆成為城中熱點。以下介紹的其中五間餐廳都 各具特色，就算你只鍾情於其中一間，或者想試勻

something for everyone.

BAR RAVAL

全部五間，都肯定會帶給你與別不同的美食體驗。 Many venture to co-owner and chef Grant van Gameran’s Mediterranean-inspired

Raval。由Grant van Gameran及其拍擋兼酒保Mike Webster及Robin Goodfellow主理的Bar Raval，氣 氛輕鬆舒適，店內的pintxos bar為你提供種類繁多 的串燒小吃。而圍著餐廳外圍設計的超大patio，以 及旁邊專門供應新鮮海鮮的raw bar亦是此店的一大 特色。不過要數店內最亮眼的地方，莫過如貫穿整 間店的木雕設計。靈感源自建築師Antoni Gaudíesque的作品，並由本地室內設計公司Partisan設計 並打造出這別樹一幟的裝潢。 Bar Raval既是餐廳亦是酒吧，早上為顧客提供 香濃咖啡及各款精緻doughnuts；而到了凌晨時分則 會轉型為snack bar。除了每日新鮮烤焗的糕點、各 式各樣的小碟及pintxos外，其獨有的罐頭海鮮亦是 此店的重點必吃推介。這些罐頭海鮮部分由餐廳自 家醃製、部分則從外地入口(靈感來自巴塞隆拿的知 名tapas餐廳Quimet y Quimet，餐廳以高級海鮮製成 美味的罐頭美食而聞名) 。 如果你見到食客拿著罐頭魚也吃得津津有味 時，切勿太驚訝。因為店內的罐頭海鮮如茄汁沙甸 魚、Raval汁蟶子或扇貝等，均以西班牙加里西亞式 (Galician)獨有的方法醃製(Conservas de Campados) 而成，是罐頭中的精品。最後記得留肚品嚐巴斯克 (Basque)式芝士蛋糕，只經過微微的烤焗，口感比 一般的芝士蛋糕香軟鬆化，味道更可媲美位於西班 牙San Sebastian的著名餐廳La Viña的出品。這款芝 士蛋糕絕對是城中最佳甜品之一。 美食當前又怎能沒有佳釀，餐廳提供各款加度 葡萄酒(fortified wines)、苦艾酒(vermouths)及雪利酒 (sherries)供選擇，更有多款特別為配襯美食而調製 的雞尾酒，肯定有一款合你心意。

Bar Raval的酒吧全日供應各款串燒 小吃(pintxos) 。 Selections of pintxos are available along Bar Raval’s bar all day.

Bar Raval的巴斯克(Basque)式芝士蛋糕 是城中最佳芝士蛋糕之一。 Bar Raval’s heavenly Basque-style cheesecake is one of the city’s best.

The restaurant/bar transitions throughout the day: a café in the early morning serving coffee and dulce de leche-filled doughnuts, to a hopping snack bar into the wee hours of the night. Beyond the daily-made pastries, flavourful small plates that have been cooked with restraint and pintxos, it’s the canned seafood – some preserved in house, others imported (and inspired by Barcelona’s Quimet y Quimet, famous for serving well-prepared canned foods) – that’s Raval’s specialty.

It’s not an anomaly to find happy diners digging into tins of sardines in tomato sauce, razor clams in Raval sauce, or berberechos (cockles), a Galician delicacy made by Conservas de Campados. Save room for the Basque-style cheesecake, cooked slightly more than the wobbly, near-runny version from San Sebastian’s famed La Viña. The blistered dessert is one of the city’s best.

To drink, there are fortified wines, vermouths and sherries, plus fantastic food-friendly craft cocktails built with quality ingredients and spirits.

Bar Raval, 505 College St., 647-344-8001, www.thisisbarraval.com 營業時間：每日早上8 時 – 凌晨2 時

Hours: 8 a.m. – 2 a.m. daily

價格：自定製麵包由 $2 起，西班牙 火腿(Iberico Béllota) $34，罐 頭扇貝$68

Co-owners Veronica Carmen Laudes and chef Luis Valenzuela bring a slice of Spain to busy Queen Street West via Carmen, where guests have the option to spend their time in the lively split-level dining room, cozy entrance bar, or rear-garden patio during warmer months.

While the open kitchen is known for its 30-centimetre paellas for two, they excel with their traditional Spanish tapas, such as patatas bravas, or an octopus and chorizo pintxo. Much of the two-year-old restaurant’s menu focuses on cooking with Spanish sensibilities: fresh, simply prepared food that uses local, seasonal produce. Even their pan con tomate uses bread from a local bakery, tomatoes from their backyard garden and Spanish Manchego cheese. At brunch, there’s an Atlantic haddock bocata (sandwich), pan dulce (a Spanish version of French toast with quince and dulce de leche) and Huevos Carmen – three overeasy eggs with Spanish chorizo.

In addition to a cocktail list featuring Spanish liquors (i.e. orujo), there’s a very strong selection of sherries, wines, beers and cider that are mainly from Spain (with a few local picks scattered in between).

Coming soon: a sister storefront that will be an all-day Spanish café, tapas bar with takeaway counter in the space adjacent to the restaurant.

CAVA 如果你想品嚐高質素的伊利比亞及拉丁美洲美 食，這間位於多倫多midtown的星級餐廳相信不會令 你失望，因為它的tapas多年來一直獲得高度評價。 Cava找來著名室內設計公司3rd Uncle為餐廳注入簡 約時尚風格，雖然開業接近10年，裝潢絲毫未見過 時，餐廳亦愈來愈有人氣，無論主餐房或patio都經 常坐無虛席。

色份量十足，最適合三五知己一同分享。 而店內亦提供多式各樣的pintxos及tapas，就 是一人前來同樣可以吃得精彩。要數這裡的招牌菜 非papas fritas (西班牙炸馬鈴薯片)莫屬，薯片必須 炸兩次，然後放於錐形紙筒內，進食時沾一下煙燻 辣椒沙律醬 (smoky paprika aioli) ，正宗西班牙香辣 口感。另一道菜Supergilda亦可稱為小吃中的精心 傑作，廚師將醃製沙甸魚柳 (先煎香然後醃過夜)放 於塗上蕃茄的多士上，再伴以鯷魚、橄欖及guindilla pepper串成的小串，沒想過一道tapas都可以這般豐 富精彩。而紅酒煮鵝肝 (Gamay-poached foie gras) 則甘香油潤，滋味無窮。 餐廳還有一個餐牌提供多款魚類及蔬菜類美 食，當中採用的食材都來自本地或以不破壞生態環 境的方法種植或飼養。就好像其炸茄子，外皮炸得 香脆但茄子肉卻保持嫩滑，並以tomatillo salsa作調 味；酸橘醃紅鯛魚(red snapper ceviche)則以青桔汁 調味，伴以香橙及牛油果；而烤黑鱈魚(sablefish)則 以黑糙米及高麗菜作配菜。愛驚喜的你更可要求廚 師為你 「發板」(價錢另議) ，你的驚喜主菜可能會配 以香烤甜包或radicchio-poblano智利沙律，充滿無限 可能性。

doesn’t show any signs of age; regulars are still filling the dining room and courtyard patio.

Although it’s easiest to maneuvre through chef and co-owner Doug Penfold’s superb menu with a group, solo diners can belly up to the room’s beautiful lacquered bar to graze on an array of pintxos and tapas. Twice-cooked papas fritas, a restaurant signature dish, is served in a paper cone with a dish of smoky paprika aioli. Their Supergilda, a two-bite masterpiece, features a fat-marinated sardine fillet (that’s been seared then pickled overnight) perched proudly on a tomato-rubbed piece of toast, all christened with a skewered anchovy weaving between a pair of olives and a crisp guindilla pepper. The Gamay-poached foie gras is buttery rich and delightful.

The sustainable and ethically sourced menu boasts plenty of fish and vegetable options, from the sublime fried eggplant dish that sports a crisp shell around the creamy vegetable’s flesh and dressed with a tomatillo salsa and curls of bonito shavings, to the clean and bright red snapper ceviche that’s tossed in calamansi juice, with pops of orange and avocado, or the beautiful roasted sablefish resting on nutty black rice and collard greens. Adventurous diners might even choose to leave their meal in the kitchen’s hands (priced upon request), where the day’s special might show up next to a chubby lobe of pan-roasted sweetbread on a pleasing radicchio-poblano chile salad.

To drink, there’s an extensive, but moderately priced, wine list, with plenty of sherries and wines by the glass.

私人小島「上車盤」

Private islands at a bargain 加拿大樓價屢創新高，不少人都慨嘆「上車」 難。其實有沒有想過轉移目標，不做業主做 「島主」？不說不知，原來加拿大本地有些私 人小島幾萬元已經有交易，部分備有基本設 施的也只需數十萬元，分分鐘平過買樓。 With Canada’s real-estate market spiralling out of the reach of many first-time homebuyers, why not consider a private island instead? text | Zoe Mak photo | Private Islands Inc

現時世界各地其實都有不少小島出售，例如加勒比海、墨西 哥、巴哈馬、甚至地球另一端的斐濟群島等，而近在咫尺的美國 甚至本地加拿大安省都有不少小島可以私有化。 多倫多小島租售公司Private Islands Inc的CEO Chris Krolow 指出，加拿大或者美國的買家一般對加勒比海的小島情有獨鍾， 因為地點較近而且屬於熱帶氣候，無論一年四季都適合度假；此 外、中美洲國家Belize亦是不少多倫多買家「入貨」的首選，除了因 為地理位置鄰近多倫多而加分之外，當地放售的「島盤」選擇亦較 多，買家可以慢慢揀。 其實要一嘗成為「島主」的滋味，熱帶地區並非唯一選擇，不 少多倫多人都喜歡在安省省內買入私人小島。Chris解釋地點是最 吸引的原因，只需數小時車程便可到達，省卻坐飛機出境入境的 時間和精神，就算每個周末想度假都可以，買家便可以「島盡其 用」，一年四季盡情享受自己的私人小島。 安省省內比較受歡迎的小島多半位於Georgian Bay和 Muskoka附近，距離多倫多市中心約數小時車程。Chris指出，一 般來說，準買家多會選擇距離多倫多車程5小時之內的小島，而距 離多倫多3小時車程之內的「島盤」則最受買家歡迎，喜歡開船的買 家則特別鍾情於Georgian Bay附近的小島。

It’s a well-kept secret that some Canadian islands can be had for as little as five figures, and those with basic infrastructure are still within the range of a six-figure price.

Chris Krolow, CEO of Private Islands Inc., a Toronto company specializing in small island rentals and sales, says Canadian and American buyers tend to be drawn to the Carribbean islands where the tropical climate is a huge draw. Belize, in Central America, is also a prime target for Toronto buyers, because available islands are plentiful.

However, one doesn’t have to go to the tropics to snap up a 一般未經開發、沒有任何許可證，位於加拿大東岸 Nova Scotia的小島，售價大約$20,000-$30,000；而 已經有小型度假屋、碼頭、許可證的加拿大小島約 $500,000。最昂貴的加拿大小島是位於BC省擁有高爾 夫球場的James Island，售價約$75,000,000。 Most undeveloped islands with no permits in Nova Scotia are going for $20,000-$30,000. The islands with small holiday homes, a pier and development permits can be had for around $500,000. The most expensive island is James Island in B.C. It has a golf course and is going for $75 million.

private island, Krolow maintains. Torontonians can find their own piece of paradise in their own backyard of Ontario. Available islands are within a few hours drive, making them easily and economically accessible every weekend if you want to, and enable you to get the most out of your real estate year-round.

The most popular islands are located near Georgian Bay or in Muskoka. Krolow says prospective buyers tend to choose islands no further than five hours away, with those within a three-hour drive even more popular.

不少私人小島除了擁有私人度假屋和私人碼頭之外，有些更甚至擁有高爾夫球場、直升機 坪和小型飛機跑道等豪華設施。 Many private islands have their own resorts and jetties. Some even have the luxury of golf courses, helipads and runways for small jets.

Cottage style的安省小島跟加勒比海小島的陽光與海灘風格不一，Chris 曾經有一位加拿大買家，同時擁有巴哈馬和Georgian Bay的小島，所以買家 可以因應個人喜好和需要而選擇合適的地點。 Chris更特別提醒買家，除了地點之外，小島本身的設備和發展亦是重 要的考慮因素。大部分買家認為一個完美的小島應該有海灘、山丘、附近有 深水海域、小島上有適當的樹林在風季擋風而又不會完全把日落遮蓋、小島 離岸不應太遠；另外最重要就是便利，跟醫院、油站、超級市場等必需要到 訪的設施不能相距太遠。 Chris認為安省的小島之所以受買家歡迎，是因為它們都符合上述提到 的每一個條件，而且當有需要求助海岸警衛隊的時候，一般來說直升機都會 在十分鐘內到達。 除了小島的設備外，其發展對買家來說都是影響決定的另一重要因素。

Krolow has several tips for prospective buyers. Other than looking at the location, he says buyers should also consider an island’s basic facilities and development potential. Most buyers think a perfect island should have a beach, hills, be close to deep-water coastal areas and have some wooded areas to act as wind shields without blocking magnificent sunset views.

Krolow also says an island shouldn’t be too far from the mainland and should have convenient access to vital facilities, such as hospitals, supermarkets and gas stations. He also points out that when island owners need help, Coast Guard helicopters can usually get there within 10 minutes.

加勒比海的小島售價大約$1,000,000，Belize為最經濟 的選擇，而巴哈馬則較昂貴。Chris提醒在選購國外小島 時，必需要考慮小島位處國家政府的政治穩定性。 The asking price for Carribbean islands is around $1 million. Belize has the most budget-friendly choices, whereas the Bahamas are slightly pricier.

Krolow reminds buyers to consider political stability when looking to buy islands overseas.

距離紐約市中心約15分鐘直升機飛行距離的 Petra Island，擁有2間著名建築師Frank Lloyd Wright設計的度假屋，另外備有私人直升機 坪和私人碼頭。 Petra Island, about 15 minutes by helicopter from the heart of New York City, has two holiday homes designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, as well as a private helipad and a private jetty.

Chris 指出，最理想是買入本身已經有一間房 屋可以拆卸的小島，因為這樣就說明了小島 本身已經擁有建築物許可證，只要在許可的 情況下改建就會容易得多。不少買家都會趁 春天買入小島，利用幾個月時間改建或加建 設施，趕得上在夏天時候享受假期。 Krolow suggests it’s best to buy an island with a house that can be torn down because it implies the island already has a building permit, and it will be much easier to redevelop as long as it falls within legal parameters. Many buyers opt to buy in spring, so they can enjoy it by summer after a few months of work.

A beautiful fragrance greets me as I step into the airy bedroom of my Garden Bungalow.

So this is the famous Tropical Chic fragrance, a scent custom-created by Guerlain, not available anywhere else. They say the sense of smell is closely tied to memories. I am definitely taking the complimentary scented candle home to remind me of the tropical flowers and mountain breezes here.

There are 40 rooms, suites and villas at the five-star Cheval Blanc. They range from a Beach or Garden Room (from $870 (590€) per night) to One- or Two-Bedroom Suites (from $3,240 (2,200€) per night). The most coveted living quarters are the two Flamands Villas. Set directly on the beach, the three-bedroom villas (from $8,548 (5,800€) per night) have their own fitness centre, fully-equipped kitchen and cinema room. Each villa has its own private infinity pool overlooking the bay and private access to the beach.

Fit for a Royalty Cheval Blanc St-Barth Isle de France is the third property in LVMH’s new hotel management group. The other ones are in Randheli, Maldives and the ski village of Courchevel, France. The brand has already proven itself fit for royalty — Prince William and Duchess Kate stayed at the Maldives property last year, when Prince George turned seven months old.

Domestic queen Martha Stewart also gave a vote of confidence to the resort when she said in an interview that Cheval Blanc is her favourite place to stay while vacationing in St. Bart’s.

如果我告訴你， 在我評價一部汽車的時候，首先會考慮的是它的款式， 你一定會認為我很膚淺。 簡單來說，我就是喜歡駕駛 「有型有款」 的汽車。 Think of me as superficial, if you will, when I say that styling is the first thing I think about when assessing a vehicle.

Simply put, I love driving beautiful cars.

從任何角度看都很漂亮，CLS 400尾部有陡斜的車頂輪廓 線，導致進出後座時較正常的轎車有一點困難。 Beautiful from any angle, the CLS 400 has a sloping roofline at the rear that makes back-seat entry and exit a little more difficult than with a normal sedan.

CLS 400後座有充足的放腳空間，然而由於車頂輪廓線陡 斜，進出較會為困難。 There is adequate legroom in the back seat of the CLS 400 but entry and exit is a chore due to the steep slope of the roof.

儘管CLS車系與E系列的房車極為相似，但它的車廂較小，只有 4個而不是5個座位，而行李箱也稍為小了一點。即使如此，它仍有 520公升的載貨容量。 另外，由於車頂的尾後斜落，導致後座乘客上落較為困難。事 實上，你可能需要用上 「軟骨術」 才可進入車廂。而前座方面，以我6 呎高的身型來說就剛剛好，但若有比我更高的司機，就會出現頭頂 空間不足的問題。 2015年款的CLS 400，外型作出了多處改良，最顯著的是重新 設計的保險槓和釘上鍍鉻鑽石型圖案的水箱護罩。而車廂內部裝飾 亮麗，有全新設計的儀表和方向盤。前排座位提供穩健支撐，當你 駕駛興奮至得意忘形時，會牢牢地把你固定在司機的座位上。 一項非常好卻又很容易令人忘記的功能，直至你「掟彎」時，身 旁有被輕推的感覺才會記起。 車廂內燈光的顏色有3種選擇，而最特別的是中控台上方安裝 有一個8吋高解像度彩色熒幕。在中控台的控制器可多控制車內名為 COMMAND的多媒體系統。 雖然CLS 400的售價由75,900起，但我所測試的汽車增加了 10,000元的選置，令這車的價值達86,050元。它添置了價值為5,950 元的至尊組合，包括有自動調節高燈輔助、電動尾箱開關、後窗太 陽簾、被動式車道偏移警示輔助、電熱後排座椅和方向盤功能、主 動轉向照明多光束車頭燈，360度攝影鏡頭、Harman/Kardon環迴音 響系統和免匙引擎啟動。

2015

The sloping roof at the rear makes entry and exit from the back seat more difficult. In fact, you need to be a bit of a contortionist to do it. Up front, my six–foot frame fits just fine, but taller drivers will find headroom an issue.

For 2015, the exterior gets a nip here and a tuck there.

Notable are redesigned bumpers and a new-look grille featuring a prominent diamond pattern with pins and chrome. Inside, there is a new instrument cluster and steering wheel. The interior is beautifully finished with comfortable front seats that feature active bolstering to hold you firmly planted during spirited driving. It’s a very nice feature that you may forget about until you feel a nudge on your side as you negotiate a sharp curve.

There is a choice of three ambient light colours inside and the most prominent feature is a freestanding eight-inch diagonal media display screen atop the centre stack. A controller on the centre console accesses the infotainment system, called COMMAND. While the CLS 400 starts at $75,900, our tester had more than $10K in options, taking the as-tested list up to $86,050. Ours had the Premium Package ($5,950) that includes features like adaptive highbeam assist, power trunk closer, rear window sunshade, passive lane-keeping assist, heated rear seats and steering wheel, active multibeam headights, 360-degree camera, Harman/Kardon surround-sound system and keyless-go.

Sony has been the leader in compact full-frame cameras. From the fixed lens RX1, to the A7 and A7R MILCs released two years ago, Sony has 把full frame微形化，Sony一直在業界佔著領導地位， 由不可換鏡的RX 1開始，到兩年前的無反A7及A7R，不斷 替業界締造驚喜、革命創新。今天再來的後繼機A7R II，再 以君臨天下之勢到來，單從四千元淨機價來看，就知道它的 目標是新一代機王寶座。以現時的電子技術，以Sony很user friendly的軟件操控，再收你四千元的硬件價格，很難想像這 部A7R II會拍到質素不高的相片。我們為甚麼推介用A7R II 來影寵物？因為這部新機所強化軟、硬件功能，正好用來征

been delighting fans with one innovation after another. The latest A7R II is set to take the market by storm – the price tag of $4,000 alone shows that it is going after the top spot among new generation MILCs. It can’t possibly take bad pictures, given the technology and Sony’s user-friendly software controls. Why then do we suggest using A7R II to shoot pets? Simply because it’s augmented hardware and software are best for capturing the little darlings who will never stand still and dart away at the hint of sound or light.

服蹦嘣跳隨處動又怕聲又怕光的喵星人和汪星人……

隨處動，如何對焦？ 貓迷影相面對最大的問題，首項離不開對不準焦點。是 以，要影wide shot貓仔周圍走，或close up炯炯有神精靈眼 球內的黑實瞳孔，首要條件是要有一個快而準的對焦系統。 A7R II的混合對焦系統除了提供25點contrast detection AF 外，還有多達399點phase detection AF，成為全球最廣闊的 覆蓋範圍；論速度，也比上一代A7R快了4成。不過平心而 論，若要跟單反相比，差別仍是有的。

Focusing on those constantly on the move?

The biggest photo-shooting issue for cat slaves is, invariably, focus.

It takes a fast and correct focus system to capture kitties on the move in a wide shot, or the sparkles in their deep dark eyes in a closeup. A7R II’s fast hybrid autofocus system provides 25 points of contrast detection AF, as well as a whopping 399 AF points phase detection. That is the widest focal plane available as yet. In terms of speed, it’s 40 per cent faster than its predecessor A7R, though it still has a fair way to go to catch up with SLR, to be honest.

Lack of light and shaky images?

Is it better to shoot cats at daytime or nighttime? That’s a no-brainer.

Nighttime is the best time because their irises dilate in the dark, making their eyes appear round and big and all the more lovable. The lack of light, however, is the biggest challenge for photo shooting. This can be compensated for by using flash, lens with large aperture, vibration compensation design or high ISO light sensitivity. Flash is a fool’s device for shooting cats and I don’t think our readers are among them. Large aperture lenses are great and there are plenty in the Sony E lens series, but they are costly too. In terms of vibration compensation technology, A7R II has added 5-axis image stabilization that, according to Sony, can compensate for f4.5 stop, and the cost for a lens with f4.5 stop is not to be sneezed at.

As to the ISO, A7R II can go up to 50-102,400. It sounds astronomical,
