色澤仿如豬肝的紅色晚裝，本來已經顯得老氣，加上設計保守又密實，下身ruffle更猶如水母般，楊冪穿上即時顯得老了十多年，是失手的選擇。

樂基兒這Maje長裙看似簡單，其實很具挑戰性，一來啡紅色容易映襯得皮膚暗啞，況且裙的質料黐身，稍為肥些也會好顯眼，樂基兒算是穿得不錯，配以一頭波浪髮型，甚有格調。

中門大開的設計不是人人都可穿得好看，首要條件需胸型美觀，身材比例均勻。熊黛林穿這Solace London開胸晚裝裙，性感得來又不覺太刻意，腰間以黑色腰帶點綴，看上去更覺修長。

This intense red evening gown is old-fashioned, and the ruffled bottom makes Yang Mi look like a jellyfish and 10 years older. It’ s definitely a poor choice for her.

The Maje maxi that Gaile Lock is wearing looks simple, but it is actually quite challenging. First, the reddish brown colour can make the model’s skin colour appear dull, and the overall look can be rather matronly. Also, the material clings to the body, which can accentuate any extra pounds. Here, Gaile wears it well, especially with her stylish wavy hair.

A plunging neckline does not suit everyone. First, the breasts have to be perfectly shaped, and the overall body shape has to be well-balanced. Here, Lynn Hung’s Solace London evening gown looks sexy, but not too contrived. The black belt is also a nice touch, providing more length to the look.

大圖案的花裙一向似易實難穿得好看，黃翠如這 Blugirl長裙，企領長袖款式充滿復古味，在她身上意外地討好，加上妝容和髮型，很有七十年代女性韻味，就如洋娃娃般甜蜜！

Kathy這Tory Burch長裙跟她很是相襯，一來是皮膚夠白，顯得白裏透紅，加上性感的低胸露肩設計，很有女人味。

花裙很易讓人顯得老氣，但Gigi這Needle & Thread款式洋溢青春少女味道，領位細緻美觀，配以網狀Ankle Boots，充滿潮味。加上粉紅色頭髮，額外搶眼。

Dresses with large floral patterns can be challenging. Here, Huang Cuiru’s Blugirl maxi dress is full of retro flair, with a high collar and long sleeves. Huang looks like a sweet doll with her ’70s makeup and hairstyle.

Kathy Chow’s Tory Burch maxi dress suits her well. Her fair skin contrasts well with the red of the dress, and the sexy low-cut sleeveless design is particularly feminine.

Floral dresses can make the model look overly mature. But this Needle & Thread dress worn by Gigi Leung looks youthful and lively. Further, the collar is delicate and pretty. Matched with ankle boots and an eye-catching pink hair style, Gigi looks quite attractive.

一見Kate Beckinsale，可以預期打扮一定高貴大方性感兼備。這次的透視誘惑較為含蓄，集中在裙擺部份，一雙長腿若隱若現，成功捕捉觀眾心理。

Katy穿上白色立體不對稱剪裁的晚裝，有型有款，難得美麗獨特兼備！

向來充滿活力的Victoria，這日忽然變得成熟饒有韻味，得歸功於一身夏日感覺的膚色，配上白色 jumpsuit，效果更是相得益彰。

Kate Beckinsale always looks elegant and sexy. Here, the see-through part is subtle, mostly in the skirt, revealing her long legs and tantalizing the viewer.

Katy Perry’s white uneven-cut evening gown is stylish and distinctive, while retaining a level of prettiness.

The usually vivacious Victoria Justice suddenly looks mature here. Her summer tan contrasts well with the white jumpsuit for a particularly vibrant look.

TV’s Supergirl Melissa Benoist sheds her super powers here and is transformed into the girl in black. The result is a fresh new look that’s both stylish and heroic.

Sexy model Kate Upton is known for her ample breasts. Here, they may not initially seem that obvious, but on second look, their full effect is evident under the breast pads.

Famous model Tyra Banks wears a jumpsuit reminiscent of the black style of the ’60s and ’70s. Even though it is a simple black-and-white colour scheme, the peacock feather pattern is quite eye-catching.

Multi-talented 千手女神

倪晨曦

女神，不知從何時開始，從天上落入凡間，舉目皆是。女神圈會汰弱留強，漂亮之餘，有實力有韌力又勤力的，將更能持久地發光發亮，像倪晨曦，她就是跑耐力賽的一種。從社交平台到真人騷，論美貌講美容、勤力周圍飛講旅遊，還擠出時間教瑜伽，周身刀張張利，最近更自組工作室盤算更多企劃。這位女神可能是有千對手的。 It’s unclear when goddesses began descending to Earth. Goddesses have to play the survival game too. Those with the right look, coupled with talent, perseverance and work ethic, will endure. Actress Elva Ni is one such individual. She’s in it for the long run. From social media to live shows, she expresses beauty through her good looks. She flies around the world to talk about travel and she still has time to spare to teach yoga. She’s a jack-of-all-trades and a master of all. She is also setting up workshops for more ventures. She must be a goddess with a thousand arms.

IG分享有界線倪晨曦（ E l v a ）有 I G 女神之名， 4 9 萬多的 followers，YouTube頻道幾年間亦衝破500餘萬瀏覽，早前她參演了ViuTV的《全職媽媽放大假》，於節目中的表現又pure又true，盡得觀眾歡心。 Elva視女神之名如浮雲，重視的反而是自己的做事原則。「女神是讚賞，表示大家都鍾意你，是很正面的事。好感恩大家對我包容性都好大，但我不會因這個稱謂而覺得可以走捷徑，做事始終都要問心無愧。」在網上出post分享個人生活吸like已像呼吸一樣平常不過，有原則的Elva卻覺得有些事要留有隱私空間，「談我的興趣愛好可以，卻不喜歡將私生活、另一半公開。」30歲的她說。

Drawing a line in Instagram sharing Elva is hailed as an Instagram goddess with a legion of 490,000 followers. Her YouTube channel has chalked up more than half a million views. She appeared in ViuTV’s Full Time Mommy Holidays and came across as pure and true, winning her viewers’ hearts. To Elva, the goddess label is transient. She values her principles more. “The goddess description is a compliment,” she concedes. “It shows that I’m well-liked. It’s a good thing. I’m thankful that everyone is so accommodating of me. I won’t take shortcuts because of this label. Ultimately, I have to answer to myself.” Posting online to garner “likes” is as routine as breathing these days. Principled Elva feels that some things need to be kept private. “It’s all right to talk about my interests, but I don’t like to share my private life, or my other half,” says the 30-year-old actress.

COVER STORY

為KOL抱不平網絡紅人受網民唾棄也時有發生。Elva說：「在網上發文要真誠，網民會感到那是否真實。是廣告的話，便會寫明白。」但她亦為KOL不時受攻擊抱不平，「有時見到有些KOL 或者youtuber好有心思，很是有趣，但同時亦會有好多人踩，我覺得圈子內可以多些互相支持和鼓勵。」 Elva更新IG相當密手，一日一post是基本，有時人在旅途中更會連環貼相，「有時post一張相，可能是拍了30至50 張才揀到，旁人見到覺得好簡單，甚至不以為然，其實每張圖片背後也要講意念，預備道具，搵角度，搵景等等。還要身兼數職，自己做片又要學識剪片，並不是想像中那樣簡單，要建立到一定支持度實在需要放時間和心機。」

Speaking up for KOLs Even searing hot bloggers get dissed occasionally. Elva puts it this way: “Postings online should be sincere. People who read them know if it’s genuine. If it’s advertising, it should be stated as such.” But she speaks up for key opinion leaders (KOLs) who are under attack, saying: “Sometimes there are creative KOLs or YouTubers who are interesting, but many people dislike them. I think this circle needs more mutual support and encouragement.” Elva updates IG regularly. One post a day is basic. When she’s on trips, she will make serial posts. “Sometimes the picture I post is picked from 30 or 50 shots. Outsiders may think it’s simple and don’t think much of it. In fact, every picture has a concept behind it. You need

to prepare props, find the angle, locate the backdrop and so forth. We have to multi-task too to shoot and edit videos. It’s not as simple as one might think. It takes time and thinking to build a certain level of support.”

COVER STORY

隨遇而安的幸運 Elva出生於盛產美女的蘇州，之後全家移民加拿大，在多倫多大學主修經濟，2006年曾經參加國際華裔小姐，輾轉十年發展，反而乘網絡興起而闖出一片天，比很多選美出身、還在公仔箱等機會的，她的確幸運。「最初很想演戲，但當時自己好害羞，就算好努力，有機會時又發揮不到，曾經迷失過，因為不了解自己。」

Born in Suzhou, China, her family subsequently emigrated to Canada. Elva majored in economics at the University of Toronto before moving to Hong Kong, where she participated in the Miss Chinese International Pageant in 2006. After a decade or so, she has found

後來她接了一些往外地的工作，同時在IG分享遊歷，「開始有人搵我做關於旅遊的工作，本身又好鍾意，逐漸愈做愈多。開始時沒特別計劃向這方面發展，但隨遇而安，每次有機會都會100％畀心機去做。我並沒定立甚麼大目標，覺得努力耕耘總會有得著，反而提醒自己不要太執着，有時很多反應都在控制範圍之外。」或許就是這樂觀正面態度，令Elva發揮吸引力法則的力量。

herself a niche in the cyber world instead. She is more fortunate than many beauty queen aspirants who are still waiting for showbiz opportunities to knock. “I wanted to act at first, but I was rather shy then. Even if I worked hard, I couldn’t do my best when the time came. I was lost because I didn’t know myself.” She took on some jobs overseas later, and shared her travel experience on IG. “Some people began to offer me travel-related jobs. I liked that kind of job too, and was taking on more and more. I didn’t set out to go down this direction, but I went with the flow. I put in 100 per cent with every opportunity. “I didn’t set lofty goals. I think there will be gains as long as I work hard. I reminded myself not to take it too seriously, as a lot of responses are often beyond our control.”

KOL當下大行其道，Elva算是在最佳時機發圍，卻也不是沒想過終有一天潮流會過。「潮流可能會變，但我覺得核心價值是長遠的，KOL是人家成就你，自己也要增值和學習，並不是因為你要紅或是流行才去做，這樣會很沒意思。」 Elva說自己行動力高，腦內一有想法就會付諸行動，早前就成立個人工作室。「始終一個人能力有限，想建立一個團隊，可以再製作多些影片，同時很想建立自己website，把所有個人喜好：扮靚化妝、旅行、瑜伽等都放進一個平台，再好好組織起來。」她又計劃出新書，傳播正面想法。「想講關於正能量，就如《心靈雞湯》般；又或是有關瑜伽、冥想、甚至是生活小建議那些會有做yoga、做meditation一些心得，或者係生活小建議那些。」 With such positive energy, she is living proof of the law of attraction. KOLs are in vogue, and Elva appears to have embarked on it at the right time. But that doesn’t mean she hasn’t contemplated the possibility that the fad may pass one day. “Fads will change, but I think the core value will last. KOLs are made by others. But we have to upgrade ourselves and keep learning. You shouldn’t do it because you are a hit or it’s a trend. That will be rather meaningless.” Elva says she’s a doer. As soon as an idea comes up, she will make it happen. She has set up personal workshops, for example. “There is only so much one person can do,” she says. “I want to set up a team and make more videos. I also want to build my own website and organize nicely on a single platform all my interests, in beauty, travel and yoga.”

COVER STORY

結婚未有期 Elva的家人都在多倫多，她一年至少回家一次。「最初自己在香港工作都會很思鄉，到後來香港真的成了自己另一個家，尤其每次外遊回到香港那刻，以及剛拿到香港身份證，特別有歸屬感。」她不時會放上姨甥女合照，加上之前拍《全職媽媽放大假》又同小朋友打成一片，女神會否恨做媽媽？「拍節目前以為湊小朋友很輕鬆容易，但原來好累。我享受和小朋友相處，但又會很矛盾，很難想象自己生小朋友。況且生BB之前要先結婚，我此刻又未想過結婚，我向來也不擅於計劃，所以也不知何時才會結婚。」 She says she also plans to publish books to share positive thinking because “I want to talk about positive energy, like the ‘Chicken Soup’ series, or perhaps something about yoga, meditation, or tips for life and so forth.”

Marriage not yet on the agenda Elva’s family is in Toronto and she comes home at least once a year. “When I first worked in Hong Kong, I missed home a lot. When Hong Kong became my other home, I felt a sense of belonging, especially when I returned to Hong Kong after a trip, or when I first collected my Hong Kong identity card.” She posts pictures with her niece from time to time, and she had a ball with children when filming Full Time Mommy Holidays. Is our goddess yearning to be a mother? “Before filming for the show, I thought taking care of children was a piece of Print coat $2,645 (moschino.com) Khaki green dress Both from Moschino Stuart Weitzman The Rugged bootie $825 (stuartweitzman.ca) Bottega Veneta earrings

cake, but it is in fact very tiring. I enjoy the company of children, but on the other hand, it’s difficult to imagine having children myself. “What’s more, before having a baby, there has to be a marriage. I haven’t thought about marriage yet, and I’m never good at planning, so I don’t know when I will get married.”

珍珠之源

The origin of pearls 早於1893年，Mikimoto創辦人御木本幸吉先生成功培育出世界上第一顆養殖天然珍珠，除了為「養珠」定立嚴格監測準則，包括珍珠光澤、光滑度、形狀、色澤及尺寸，成為國際認受品質外，更開發日本專屬的Akoya淡粉紅珍珠，打破珍珠只有成熟的一面。近年品牌致力為珍珠珠寶注入年輕元素，如Coral系列和A World of Creativity系列，配合鑲嵌鑽石，以細膩活潑方式展示大自然之美。 In 1893, Mikimoto Kokichi gave rise to the world’s first cultured pearls. Since then, the Mikimoto name has set the international standards for cultured pearls in terms of lustre, surface quality, shape and nacre. He also laid claim to inventing Japan’s special Akoya light pink pearls, and cast sophisticated pearls in a different light. In recent years, a touch of youthfulness has been added to diamond-adorned pearl jewelry in its Coral and A World of Creativity collections to vibrantly depict the magnificence of nature.

Montblanc has been a beacon of good taste among men for decades. A pioneer in finely crafted writing instruments, the German brand has since expanded into a number of areas, including watches, accessories, fragrances and leather goods. Montblanc held a reception at Florence’s Torrigiani Gardens earlier this year to unveil its 1926 Montblanc Heritage leather collection. At the reception, the leather craftsmen patiently shared their crafts, and artists created clutches with customized individual paintings on them. Another main attraction was Hollywood star Hugh Jackman, who has stolen the hearts of many as Montblanc’s brand ambassador. text | Sum Chan photo | Montblanc & Sum Chan

One can’t help but marvel at the skill demonstrated by Montblanc’s experienced craftsmen, who bring new life to products of different ages. After a trip to Florence, and with direct contact with this ancient city’s leather-making history, one can truly appreciate why “Made in Italy” is so important in the world of leather goods. The 1926 Montblanc Heritage collection comes from a long tradition of Italian leather craftsmanship. The design concepts behind the products are also unforgettable. The value of travel is not only in visiting different places, but in the lessons learned from each place. A leather bag that weathers the elements is also witness to these lessons.

Eris Bergen leather boots US$2,080

哥倫比亞浪人Haider Ackermann得到LVMH招手，接替Alessandro Sartori出任Berluti創意總監，於今年一月的FW17男裝周一鳴驚人！相比起前任Alessandro Sartori塑造的摩登公子，Haider Ackermann不羈風格依然。他從Berluti招牌的Patina古法染色技術借鏡，再借用暗黑大師畫家Francis Bacon的色調，放入他最拿手的閃爍布料，構成只此一家的魅力。整個系列最搶眼的，是那件粉紅色parka風褸，粉紅色satin跟parka 二合為一，原來驚人地美豔。不羈浪子以男人最無法抗拒的軍裝形象出場。在他手上，MA-1 bomber jacket上半部由尼龍換成satin，下半部玩布料拼貼，採用做西裝用的高級羊毛布。這種將傳統男裝改頭換面的小心思，比過往的大刀闊斧，更容易叫好叫座。 LVMH tasked Haider Ackermann with this challenge when it appointed him creative director of Berluti in September 2016. His debut collection with the brand came at the 2017 Fall/Winter Men’s Fashion Week in January and it was incredibly impressive! His predecessor, Alessandro Sartori, created Berluti’s house style, but Ackermann has been able to incorporate his wild style into it. He has referenced Berluti’s signature Patina dyeing technique and Francis Bacon’s favourite colour tone, combining both in his favourite shiny fabric to create a unique fashion line. The catchiest piece is the pink parka jacket. Incorporating pink satin into the parka has created a stunning piece of fashion. He has injected his wild style into the irresistible military line. Under his directorship, the upper part of the MA-1 bomber jacket was changed from nylon to satin, and the lower part became luxury wool, traditionally seen in blazers.

Balencia White Triple S sneakers $TBD

When it comes to athletic shoes, Balenciaga’s Triple-S trainers have to be the ugliest — in a fashionable way. Added to the deliberately aged and blunt exterior, featuring mesh, calfskin leather and suede, is a three-layer sole. The shoe immediately became the talk of the town when it was introduced in January at menswear’s Fall/Winter Fashion Week. Other designers have also jumped on the “ugly shoe” bandwagon. Prada continues its ugly chic look this season with a slow-looking sneaker that combines a mesh top, rubber and a climbing rope. Comme de Garcons Homme Plus and Nike’s collaborative Air Force 1 features a play-dough-like plastic mold at the tip. Fendi and Big Bang introduced the “Fendi for Young Bae” Series, which has a tag with Young-Bae’s name on the back of the shoe. Versace’s shiny silver sneaker has a Vibram bottom, Camper uses an oddly shaped bottom which is eye-catching in red and black, and Dior Hommes features strapped high-tops. Hermès’ leather high tops, Tod’s dotted shoes and Ermenegildo Zegna’s patchwork white sneakers are also very fashionable.Valentino has added straps on the shoe top, with an alternative version in dark green with rivets. Givenchy adds removable fur to the shoe, while Both Schoenen brushes on a layer of rubber on half of the shoe top. Saint Laurent adds a safety pin to its white canvas shoe and the writing “Smoking Forever”.

華麗天花及牆飾三大趨勢

Three Main Trends in Ceiling and Wall deCorations text | Livian Wu photo | Stanislav Yesep

很多人會為家居整體設計風格、以及傢俬配搭等方面花盡心思，卻較少留神天花或牆身細節。設計師Stanislav Yesep認為在天花及牆壁上多花點功夫，可呈現優雅意境；特別是多利用層次及手繪作裝飾，更能恆久散發經典魅力。 Many people put a lot of thought into the overall design style of their homes, especially how the furniture matches, but few pay similar attention to detail when it comes to ceilings and walls. Designer Stanislav Yesep believes putting more thought into these two areas can enhance a home’s elegance. Use textures and hand paintings to achieve a classic and lasting charm.

設計師Stanislav Yesep介紹天花及牆飾潮流三大趨勢： Designer Stanislav Yesep explains the three main trends in ceiling and wall decorations.

Layered CeiLing 多層天花

透過多種材料為天花製造層次感，如利用石膏塗層及天花框架創建深度；再以手繪裝飾把燈具藏於天花內部，形成的反射光源，別有一番情調。 Ceiling light fixtures can create a special atmosphere.

加以點綴，典雅大方；然後把LED燈條融入天花裝置，營造美麗效果。利用特製的彩繪瓷磚及大型徽章來襯托水晶吊燈，更能增強整個空間的視覺效果。 By using multiple materials, such as plaster and frames to create textures, and adding handpainted decorations, this layered look is graceful

and elegant. One can create an even more beautiful effect with the addition of LED lights. Further, adding painted tiles and an oversized seal to decorate the crystal chandelier creates a strong visual effect.

ConTeMporary WhiTe CeiLing 當代白天花

天花以白色石膏板或磚瓦作裝飾，能調和整體感覺。 Use white plasterboard or tiles as decorations to create a harmonious look.

要營造現代風格，為天花設計簡單的磚瓦圖案，可讓空間變得生氣勃勃。設計師建議選用白色來保持時代感，而且簡潔的線條易於跟室內其他物件配搭和諧。 To create a modern look, consider simple tile patterns on the ceiling. The designer suggests using white to impart a contemporary look. The clean lines also match easily with the other objects in the room.

daMask WaLLpaper 大馬士革牆紙

大馬士革是一種著名的圖案，通常以絲、麻或

棉編織而成，形態飽滿優雅，近看紋路精緻細膩、遠觀大方得體，因而深受歡迎。這種牆紙獨立使用時美觀耐看，與其他裝飾組合起來，則能突出立體層次。

The Damask print is a famous pattern usually woven

from silk, hemp or cotton. With a full and elegant shape, the print shows delicate and detailed lines close up and looks graceful and sophisticated from afar. This type of wallpaper is very popular. Used alone, the wallpaper is beautiful and inviting. Combined with other decorations, it provides a textured look.

大馬士革圖案奢華大氣，是歐式家居風格中常見的元素。 This Damask print, popular in European homes, is grand and luxurious.

自1880年於法國面世以來，Grand Marnier一直沿用古方至今，以上乘的干邑和苦橙精華，配製出屹立百年、經歷時代變遷仍能享負盛名的香橙干邑甜酒。每年生產的干邑都由調製大師Patrick Raguenaud親自主理，可見對手工藝的堅持。 Grand Marnier, a unique combination of the noble cognac and exotic bitter orange essence, has withstood the passage of time. Since its creation in 1880, it has remained very “craft” – thanks today to master blender Patrick Raguenaud.

CanaDa 150特色餐單

The appetizer selections are salada de lingua, chilled pea soup, or fresh shucked Pacific oysters.

appetizerS

頭盤

02 main CourSeS

01•加了刁草、brioche crouton、忌廉的豌豆凍湯清涼美味。以豌豆茸製成的薄脆增添口感和對比，高湯裡的豌豆甜糯，展現簡單就是美的道理。 With dill and brioche croutons on top, the creamy pea soup tastes cool and fresh. The bits of peas give a crisp taste in contrast to the sweet stickiness of the soup, resulting in a simple, but delicious combination. 02•亞省牛是加國重要資源之一，大廚今回以牛舌作沙律配料。把煮至軟身的牛舌刨成如薄紙片，再以熟透番茄、沙律菜和salsa verde醬汁作伴碟。意式醬汁裡的芫荽、香菜、蒜茸、洋蔥茸等的調味，除了帶起沙律的味道之外，亦為牛舌解膩。 Beef is one of Alberta’s important resources. Here the chef creatively uses beef tongue as a salad ingredient. Slicing the softly cooked beef tongue paper-thin, he adds tomatoes, salad greens and salsa verde. The salsa verde contains coriander, parsley, chopped garlic and chopped onions, and brings out the richness of the tongue.

為切合大廚設計餐單中hunt, gather, fish的初心，食客可

Apropos to the subtitle “Hunt, Gather, Fish,” guests can select seafood main courses at an additional cost. 04•羊頰肉是較少見的食材，以紅酒及肉汁慢火炆煮至酥爛入味之後配baked celery root，效果有點像炆燉牛肋配薯茸，baked celery root更有營兼美味，羊頰肉的質感亦比牛肋細緻。伴碟有用玉米造成的soft corn polenta，以及四枚煎得香脆金黃的珍寶大帶子，脆香軟嫩鮮諸味兼而有之，滿足感百分百。 The lamb cheek is simmered in red wine and broth until soft and the flavours are well melded, and it’s matched with baked celery root. This dish is similar to stewed beef ribs with mashed potatoes. The baked celery root is more nutritious and flavourful, while the lamb cheek is tenderer than beef ribs. Side dishes include soft corn polenta and four pan-seared jumbo sea scallops. This course combines crispness, tenderness, and freshness in one to satisfy the most discerning palette.

05•另一主菜則選了pan seared snapper 加添三安士燒大蝦。Snapper是俗稱紅雞魚的鯛魚，厚肉少骨，肉味鮮甜。將鯛魚煎至金黃色，再加入好像番茄凍湯味道的tomato gazpacho 醬汁。大蝦的爽脆口感和鯛魚的外脆內嫩，猶如將人從雪山帶到海洋。 Another main course features pan-seared snapper and roasted shrimp. The snapper is fleshy with very few bones, and has a sweet and fresh flavour. After searing the fish lightly until golden, fresh cold tomato gazpacho is added. The final touch is the fresh jumbo shrimp, which together with the fish’s crispy outside and tender inside, transports the guest instantly from the snowy mountains to the deep seas.

佳餚自然要配美酒，是次Canada 150餐單，侍酒師便泰半以卑詩省 Orofino Winery的紅白葡萄酒來配對，提升味覺享受。 Good food goes best with fine wine. The Canada 150 menu features a number of reds and whites from British Columbia’s Orofino Winery. 06•Orofino Winery位於卑詩省Similkameen Valley，在卑詩省酒谷Okanagan Valley之南，日照充足，在Similkameen River流域位置，有河流調節氣溫。其Pinot Gris充滿 melon和茴香的清鮮芳香，入口creamy，以之配搭碗豆凍湯，味道更甜美。 Orofino Winery is located in British Columbia’s Similkameen Valley, south of the famous Okanagan Valley wine region. There is plenty of sunshine in the valley, and the temperature is regulated by the Similkameen River. Its Pinot Gris is full of the fresh fragrance of melon and fennel, and it goes well with the cold pea soup.

100

03•卑詩省生蠔肥美甘甜，無論是Pacific Oyster還是Kusshi品種，佐以少許檸檬汁又或是完全不加沾醬，入口脆滑鮮爽的快意都讓人回味。 The oysters from British Columbia are full-bodied and sweet. Whether the Pacific oyster or Kusshi oyster, it has a crisp fresh taste, either with a little lemon juice or with no seasoning at all.

07•Riesling, Orofino, Hendsbee, BC屬非常乾身的酒，酸度可口、口感清脆，加上青檸和礦物質的味道，蘊含Similkameen Valley典型的風土特質，能減輕牛舌沙律的油膩，同時保留牛肉脂香。 Hendsbee Vinegard Riesling is a very dry wine from Orofino Winery, with a lime and mineral flavour. The wine is full of the distinctive Similkameen Valley flavour and can balance the greasiness of the beef tongue salad while retaining the tongue’s flavour.

甜品

兩款甜品分別用了蜜糖、大黃、士多啤梨等食材，呼應了gather的食材選擇路向。 A pair of dessert choices utilize honey, rhubarb, strawberries and other ingredients in keeping with the “gather” theme.

Almond cake裡有strawberry sorbet、strawberry meringue、 rhubarb compote， The almond cake is filled with strawberry sorbet, strawberry meringue and rhubarb compote. Chocolate mousse 內有細滑的巧克力慕絲及採收自附近 Lillooet的蜜糖製成 honey cake、salted honey ice cream 等。 The smooth chocolate mousse and honey cake, made with honey from nearby Lillooet, is served with a sated honey ice cream.

設計時尚的SIDECUT Modern Steak + Bar The stylishly decorated Sidecut Modern Steak + Bar

08•Orofino Winery的招牌紅酒Red Bridge Red，主要由Merlot加上Syrah及 Cabernet等葡萄釀成。丹寧柔順，酒格和諧，櫻桃果香之中略帶巧克力香氣及香草的辛辣，甚有層次感，為主菜羊頰肉和濃味肉汁帶來平衡的效果。 Orofino Winery’s signature Red Bridge Red is a Merlot, Syrah and Cabernet blend. Light in tannin and harmonious in flavours, the wine has a cherry fragrance mixed with a little chocolate and herb to add complexity. It is the best paired with the rich lamb cheek.

09•Orofino Winery的Chardonnay屬於中度酒體，明顯的酸亮度，帶點兒青蘋果香，最宜配搭海鮮和番茄醬汁。 Orofino Winery’s Chardonnay has a medium but bright body. The wine has a slight green apple flavour and goes best with seafood and tomato gazpacho. 10•Orofino Winery汽泡酒Moscato Frizzante果韻充沛，散發橙花和桃香，是巧克力慕絲的好拍檔。 Orofino Winery’s fizzy Moscato Frizzante is rich in fruit flavours, including orange blossoms and plums, and goes well with chocolate mousse.

We went mountain biking and hiked the coastal trails, spotting herds of eland, bontebok and Cape mountain zebra, ostriches by the flock and some of the reserve’s other astonishing bird life. The local vegetation, known as fynbos, is magnificent, especially during spring, and we hiked through carpets of flowers. As we walked, our host and lodge manager, Calvin du Plessis, pointed out the various plant species: brown sage, hedgehog lilly, geophytes and buchus. The veld all around us was shrill with sunbirds, weavers and mousebirds kicking up a delightful racket. The shoreline below the villa is fabulously rich in sea life.

The shell middens on this very dune attested to millennia of survival off the inter-tidal zone, first by early humans and later by Khoikhoi. The stone traps (to catch bigger fish on the outgoing tide) spoke of advanced fishing methods by the coast’s inhabitants in more recent centuries. I imagined our early ancestors ranging the rock pools, perhaps hunting the occasional seal and spearing fish. Waves hammered the base of the cliffs: the first sign of a cold front brewing in the west. It was the end of a clear, crisp spring day. A mountainous swell rolled in, the air salty and invigorated by the pummelling. At that moment, I thought, there was nowhere on earth I’d rather be.

這邊廂我們已經深深愛上跨界別車，那邊廂，歐洲的用家仍然迷戀著旅行車。我成長於60年代，當時北美洲盛行旅行車，我們一家也以它代步。當年乘坐旅行車去露營、或在夏天出遊的情景，至今仍歷歷在目。 While we have gone crossover crazy on this side of the pond, Europeans still hold a fondness for the station wagon, or estate car as the Brits and other overseas countries would call it. Growing up in the ’60s, when wagons were all the rage in North America, they were the vehicle of choice for our family. I fondly remember many a camping or summer road trip in our station wagon of the day. text and photo | Lorne Drury Metroland Media
