e welcome you to Hong Kong and to CityLife, the monthly magazine for visitors to Asia’s World City.

In December, Hong Kong turns into a winter wonderland as the city prepares for the Christmas holiday season full-on. Most visually striking during this joyous time are the colourful lighting displays reaching the full height of tall buildings around the harbour, which is truly a sight to behold. Nightly light shows decorating the sky accentuate the festive ambience.

All around the city, shopping malls bid to outdo each other in thematic decorations, restaurants offer sumptuous Christmas dinners and there are parties galore. Along with its secular aspects, Christmas remains an important religious holiday for the large Christian community here in Hong Kong. Whatever your persuasion, you have come to the perfect place to celebrate this joyful holiday. Please visit our cover story on page 10 as well as the Calendar Section for all the details.

Located in the heart of the New Territories, Sha Tin is the earliest and remains the largest of Hong Kong’s satellite towns and the city's most populous district.

While largely a dormitory community, Sha Tin is also home to museums, temples, heritage sites, one of the city's largest shopping malls, among other attractions, making it an interesting destination for visitors wanting to sample the local culture. Please check out our feature story on Sha Tin on page 16 and make a date to visit it if you can.

Horse racing is Hong Kong's premier sporting pastime. Even if you are not a hardcore racing fan, attending a race day event in Hong Kong and cheering on the horses along with the local crowds is a chance to see into the soul of this town. This month, Hong Kong hosts the Longines Hong Kong International Races, one of the marquee events of the season.

Make a dash for it if you are in the city; it promises a cavalcade of fun.

Whether you are traveling alone or with your children, you may want to catch the timeless ballet classic The Nutcracker, which is performed during the Christmas holiday season every year by the Hong Kong Ballet. The heartwarming story and Tchaikovsky’s wonderful music are a sure way to lift anyone’s spirit.

December is all about festivities and the holiday season, and as such, a lovely month to visit Hong Kong. Whether it’s soaking up the holiday atmosphere, shopping to your heart’s content, indulging in gourmet Christmas dinners, checking out the fabulous Christmas decorations, exploring local communities, or taking in a horse race, you’ll love what Hong Kong has to offer during this wonderful holiday period. Enjoy, and may we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

SAINT SHINES IN SKYSCRAPER SHADOWS 聖約翰座堂

Arthur Hacker looks at the turbulent history of St John’s Cathedral 亞瑟·克赫回顧聖約翰座堂的動亂歷史

I

t was an American Baptist missionary, the Reverend Jehu Lewis Shuck, who built Hong Kong's first Christian church on Queen's Road in 1842. Around the same time he started a newspaper called The Friend of China and set up a mission school with his formidable wife Henrietta. This aggressive woman was not content with converting Chinese to Christianity but simultaneously launched a crusade to save the souls of English heathens. Leading English merchant princes were called taipans, and when one of their number remarked casually that although he believed in heaven he thought that hell was “a load of fudge”, Henrietta called him “a vile sinner.” Consequently, the colony’s merchants and opium dealers were not enamoured of the aggressive behaviour of the Shuck family and neither was the Church of England, which had been upstaged by the Baptists, and had therefore lost face.

The trading community was much more interested in constructing commercial premises such as warehouses – known as godowns – and sumptuous, ostentatious mansions for the nouveau riche taipans, than building a house of God. For the next few years the Anglican

8

community was reduced to worshipping in a humble matshed on Murray Barracks parade ground (present-day Admiralty).

The second governor of Hong Kong, Sir John Davis, found the money needed to build a church. This scholarly and rather pompous politician composed, in Latin, the inscription on the foundation stone where he describes himself as “A legate of the British Queen in China and bedecked with proconsul dignity”. The Protestant cathedral was ironically designed by an architect surnamed Pope. lt cost $6,000 and when St John's Cathedral opened in 1849 at 4-8 Garden Road, the congregation was outraged to discover that the unpopular governor’s ensanguined coatof-arms, a bloody hand, was emblazoned over the west door. It is still there.

Protocol demanded that the governor and the lieutenant-governor sat in the front pews.

Senior civil servants and top navy and military officers sat behind them. There was fierce competition for the next row of seats. The nearer to the front you prayed the greater your prestige.

The unseemly ‘battle of the pews’ was closely followed by the pernicious press at the time.

八四二年 , 浸信會傳教士叔未士牧師在 一 皇后大道建立了香港第一幢基督教座

堂。與此同時 , 他開辦了一份名為《中國之友》 的報紙，更跟他那位精明的太太亨麗愛塔成立 了一間傳教學校。這位野心勃勃的鐵娘子並不 滿足於將中國改變為基督教國家，她發起運 動，設法令所有「英國靈魂」信奉基督教。當 時人們稱英國商人的頭目九大班，其中一位大 班漫不經心地道，雖然他相信有天堂，但依然 認為有關地獄的說法是一派胡言。亨麗愛塔指 他是「卑劣的罪人」。漸漸，鴉片商人和其他 商人對叔未士家庭的激進行為不表欣賞，連屢 被浸信會教士搶盡風頭的英國國教會也感到面 目無光。

商界對於興建商用建築物如貨倉，或為大 班興建豪華大宅的興趣，遠比為神興建座堂來 得大。往後幾年，英國國教會的人只能在一間 位於美利兵營的簡陋草屋裡模拜。（現在為金 鐘） 香港第二任總督鼾維斯爵士籌得了一筆資 金，用以興建座堂。這位有點兒自負的博學正 攵治家在教堂的石碑上以拉丁文形容自己為 「英女皇欽點的中國大使 , 並賦予殖民地總督的 尊貴身份」。無獨有偶，這幢基督教座堂的建 築師的姓氏是“ Pope ” ( 意思即教皇 ) 。教堂的 建築費用共六千元 , 當位於花園道的聖約翰座堂

Things soon settled down and the cathedral continued quietly serving the Anglican community until Christmas Day 1941 – when disaster struck. This was when the British garrison surrendered to the Japanese forces. The invaders occupied the building but there are conflicting reports about what it was used for: a canteen, a jujitsu club or even a stable for Japanese officers' horses.

When the British returned, they found it completely vandalised. After the war, the rebuilding of the desecrated cathedral was taken up as a community effort.

Unlike their brethren a hundred years earlier, the taipans of the 1940s were extremely generous and provided everything from hassocks to hymn books, stained glass windows and even a new peal of bells.

When Davis built the cathedral, it was the tallest building in Hong Kong.

Famously sitting on the only freehold plot of land in the colony (the remainder being leased from the government), it dominated the city for generations until the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank opened its doors in 1935. ln the 1930s the bank was the highest building east of Suez until you reached the shores of California. These days, it is only a matter of a few years before some local property developer or institution has built a new highest building in Hong Kong, in a never-ending Tower of Babel competition.

Looking at St John’s today, surrounded by massive skyscrapers, it beggars belief that this tiny ‘toy town’ church was long the tallest and most magnificent building in Hong Kong and the dominant feature of the picturesque colonial city of Victoria. Nevertheless, it remains a glorious piece of architecture, striking in its tranquillity and as valued as ever, a reminder of a bygone age.■

於 1849 年建成時，戴維斯爵士把自己的家族徽章 隻紅手印建在 座堂的西面大門上，引起公憤。現在這個徽章依然存在。 座堂規定總督和助理總督坐在座堂前排的座席。公務員、海軍 和陸軍高級官員隨後。後幾行的座位安排弓來激烈爭議，祈禱時坐 得越前表示名望越高。這種不得體的「座位爭霸戰」被當時不懷好 意的傳媒緊密報導。 事情終於平息，座堂一直默默為莢國國教會信徒服務， 1941 年的聖誕節發生了不幸事件，服務才終止。英軍部隊於當天向日 軍投降，日軍於是佔據座堂。不同的報導指座堂被用作飯堂、柔道 會，甚至是日本軍方馬厩。當英國重新收迴座堂，座堂已遭到徹底 破壞。戰後，重建座堂成為公眾責任。 1940 年代的大班跟 1840 年 代不同，他們很慷慨，為座堂提供膝墊、聖歌書籍、彩色玻璃窗， 甚至是一個全新的鐘。 戴維斯爵士興建座堂時，教堂是全香港最高的建築物，眾所周 知，它坐落在香港唯一一塊自由保有的土地上（其余部分由政府出 租），直至 1935 年香港上海匯豐銀行建成為止。第二次世界大戰 結束後，每隔數年本地物業發展商就在香港興建更高的大廈。這種 爭高比賽可時才會完結呢？ 重看今天的聖約翰座堂，四周盡是高樓大廈。你要運用最高的 想像力，說服自己這幢小小的建築物曾幾何時是香港最高，最莊嚴 的建築物，是維多利亞殖民地的美麗標誌。不過，座堂莊嚴如故， 卻是毋容置疑的，它在寧靜中熠熠生輝，提醒人們過去的時代。■

he prelude to Christmas in Hong Kong comes earlier each year, with yuletide decorations and lighting displays now appearing in early November, and gathering pace until the city is transformed into a winter wonderland – with high-rise buildings draped in colourful lights and shopping malls and public squares decked out in red, green and gold.

Hong Kong celebrates Christmas like nowhere else in Asia, both spiritually and commercially, with an all-out gusto and extravaganza all its own. While the holiday itself has become more secular across cities worldwide morphing into an occasion to exchange gifts and take a well-deserved year-end party break, the city’s substantial Christian community ensures that it is still a most religious holiday that celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ. Whatever Christmas means to you, you’ve come to the perfect place to catch the infectious spirit of Christmas and enjoy all the festive activities and events the city has to offer. So, join in the yuletide spirit and have a Merry, Merry, Christmas.

Christmas Bazaars, Fairs and Markets 圣诞集市、展览和市场 Picking out gifts and knick-knacks for family and friends at Christmas markets is always good fun.

While most take place in November, there are still a few December events worth stopping by to experience the city’s civic spirit.

我們的假日美食之旅品嚐了精美的白松露晚餐，飽覽海濱美景，並在香港最新的文化遺產中心享用 了一頓精緻的中式午餐。

F

rench cooking, Japanese ingredients, and the finest Italian white truffles: that’s the irresistible combination on offer at à nu retrouvez-vous, the Michelin-starred restaurant located in Harbour City shopping mall. The restaurant, which originates from Tokyo, opened its doors in Hong Kong in December 2017 to wide acclaims for its French-Japanese concept aimed to create innovative French dishes using high quality Japanese ingredients, and preparing them in accord with its motto “Just as it is”. à nu, as it’s known, is promoting a seasonal white truffle menu. The truffles are sourced directly from Tartufi Morra of Alba, Italy during the October to late December season. Tartufi Morra, one of the most highly respected truffle suppliers, offer their products only to the highest quality restaurants in the world. Naturally we are keen.

The restaurant space feels intimate; its modern Japanese décor exudes an understated elegance.

The subdued lighting and decorations allow guests to immediately immerse themselves in the panoramic harbour views and the iconic skyline of Hong Kong Island opposite. It’s clear that à nu is designed for a romantic or special dining experience.

The White Truffle Tasting Menu ($1580 per person) on offer is a four-course dinner. However, we were able to sample a couple more of the restaurant’s signature dishes as well. The Amuse Bouche came first, three delicate bite-size appetizers that grab our attention – the crabmeat in particular is delicious. Smoked Katsuo in Ceviche Style Served with Eggplant, which is one of the entrée options in the white truffle menu, is next. The skipjack tuna meat, slightly smoked, tastes

fresh and tender, accented nicely by the smoky aroma and citrus flavour.

The other entrée option is a gem – Aligot Served with Tome Fraiche and Yatsugatake Egg Yolk and Alba White Truffle (supplement of $350). The white truffle, which is shaved generously at the table, covers the whole pasta. We were practically salivating just watching it, and the distinct aroma permeates the entire restaurant. The pasta tastes savoury and with just the right texture; the egg yolk can be cleanly separated from the egg white, and the truffles were just heavenly. We were told that 5 to 6 grams of truffles are typically used in the dish!

We sampled two more entrees – Sujira, Fish of the Day, a Japanese garoupa served with shiso beurre blanc sauce and okra, and Wagyu Kagoshima Fillet Served with Périgord Sauce. Both the fish and beef were perfectly tender. We can certainly appreciate à nu’s concept of infusing fine Japanese ingredients with creative contemporary French cooking, because it really does work.

The dinner ended with the été Cake, a lovely dessert in which mango slices are delicately layered in the shape of a yellow rose – what a finish!

We should mention that the service was superb – the waiters are attentive and knowledgeable. And an excellent collection of wines and sakes are in stock. à nu retrouvez-vous is an excellent example of a superb delivery of a cutting edge culinary concept, and a perfect place for a dinner for the special occasion or someone. We highly recommend it.■

à nu retrouvez-vous 為您 坐 落在海港城購物中心的米其林星級餐廳 提供『法式烹飪、日本食材和最美味的意大利白松露』這個不可拒

絕的組合。源自東京的 à nu 於2017年12月在香港開業，因其“法日”組合 理念廣受好評。該理念是指“用高品質的日本食材創造創新的法式菜餚，並 按照其‘原汁原味‘的方式烹製“。餐廳推出季節性白松露菜單，這些白松 露直接來自意大利的阿爾巴 (Tartufi Morra)，每年10月至12月底是松露的上 市季節。 Tartufi Morra 是最著名的松露供應商之一，只向世界上最優質的 餐廳提供松露產品，因此我們對這家餐廳無比期待。

餐廳的氛圍親切，它的現代日本裝飾散發出一種低調的優雅。柔和的燈 光和裝飾讓客人立即沉浸在海港全景和香港島標誌性的天際線。很明顯， à nu 的設計是浪漫的，在這裡可以享受獨特的用餐體驗。 白松露品嚐菜單（每人$1580）是一頓有四道菜的晚餐。不過我們還品 嚐了幾道餐廳招牌菜。首先上來的是開胃菜，三款精緻小巧的開胃菜很美味 - 特別是蟹肉，十分鮮美。烤製的酸橘汁醃鰹魚配茄子，這是白松露菜單中 的主菜之一。鰹魚肉略帶煙熏味，口感鮮嫩，熏味和柑橘味尤為突出。 另一個主菜仍然很可口 —— Aligot 酒配上白松露、鬆餅和蛋黃（額外支 付$350）。層層刮制的白松露覆蓋整個意大利面，讓人垂涎欲滴，整個餐廳 都被香氣充斥。意大利面味道鮮美，口感恰到好處；蛋黃與蛋清完全分開， 松露確實是最高級的口感。我們還得知每份意麵使用了約5至6克松露！ 接下來我們又品嚐了兩道主菜——Sujira——今日的魚，是一種日本石 斑魚配上紫蘇黃油白沙司和秋葵，和神戶鹿兒島牛柳配上佩里戈爾醬。魚肉 和牛肉都很嫩。我們必須承認這種將法式烹飪與日式食材結合的“法日” 理 念是很美味的。 我們的晚餐以 été 蛋糕完美結束，這款甜點外形可愛，芒果被雕成黃色 玫瑰的形狀擺盤。 值得一提的是他們一流的服務——服務員很細心，也很博學。還有許多 葡萄酒和糕點也有庫存。 à nu retrouvez-vous 是一家傳遞一流烹飪理念的餐廳，同時也是享受完 美晚餐的理想勝地，建議您去試一試。■

ai Kwun is the former Central Police Headquarters, now extensively redeveloped and preserved to create a unique art and dining hub. Among its showcase dining venues is a trio of restaurants and bars recently opened by Aqua Restaurant, occupying the entire first floor of the Police Headquarters Block. These are Statement – a western fine-dining outlet, The Dispensary – a bar, and Chinese Library – our next gastronomic destination.

with the effort that went into slicing the tofu. A Sichuan-inspired dim sum, Chilled “Jade Power” in Green Sichuan Pepper Essence ($78) was an interesting addition. This zesty, vegetable dish nicely balanced out the savoury dishes already served.

Chinese Library serves some of Hong Kong’s favourite dishes, drawn from the gamut of regional Chinese cuisines: Cantonese, its mainstay, Chiu Chow, Sichuan, Northern China and Shanghainese.

An iron-balustrade staircase greets guests at the first floor, with plaques featuring police badges framing the reception. The dining room’s décor is colonial Oriental, the original wood flooring complemented by jade-coloured walls, ornate gold mirrors, backlit onyx screens and antique Chinese marble tops, in homage to a glamorous bygone era.

We were ready to sample the tour-de-force signature dish – Apple Roasted 45-day Imperial Peking Duck ($680), another iconic Chinese dish.

The duck is aged for longer than usual, and the apple sauce covering the roasted duck refreshingly contrasts with the duck meat and the crispy skin.

For our lunch we sampled several dim sum and signature dishes. These included Laksa Xiao Long Bao ($88) the famous Shanghainese dim sum which is a traditional favourite – the meat and soup broth inside the pleated wrapper is savoury and tasty; the Laksa soup adds a clever Malaysian twist and Jade Bitter Melon, Pork & Black Bean Dumpling ($88), another interesting concoction – the crab roe on top of the pork dumpling plus the bitter melon and black beans accent the pork flavour.

Another inventive dim sum is the Chrysanthemum “Thousand Cut” Silken Tofu in Chicken Broth ($108). The velvety smooth tofu skin, nano-thinly sliced, replicates a Chrysanthemum and we were impressed

Char siu is another local favourite, and Chinese Library’s premium version – BBQ Pork Loin glazed with New Zealand Manuka Honey ($228), was a treat: the honey-sweet roast pork is mouth-wateringly tender.

The last dish before dessert was a Cantonese favourite – Superior First Extracted Soy Sauce Rice Noodles with Angus Beef Tenderloin ($198).

Tender Angus beef slices nicely stir-fried with flat noodles in a hot wok is, for many, the essence of Cantonese wok cooking.

We finished this enjoyable meal with four delicious desserts, all shared among us, of course: Classic Egg Tart, Chocolate Lava Mochi, Tofu Panna Cotta, and Deep-fried Chocolate Hazelnut Ball, at $68 each.

As Hong Kong’s newest heritage attraction landmark, Tai Kwun is a must-visit destination. Be sure to also drop-by for a sumptuous meal at the Chinese Library – itself destined to be a culinary landmark.■

Ole

Ole, one of the city's earlier Spanish restaurants, recently celebrated its 20th anniversary, a notable accomplishment in the city's highly competitive dining scene.

The restaurant, located in Central, has maintained its original Spanish bistro style. The decor exudes warmth and friendliness and a Spanish guitar duo adds to the ambience.

Through the years Ole has hewn to a well-founded culinary philosophy – serving hearty, down home authentic Spanish dishes using quality ingredients.

For dinner, we ordered several starters and entrees to share, always the best way to enjoy a robust Spanish meal.

The starters include Deep-fried Spanish Padron Peppers ($90), Spanish Iberico Ham "Joselito Gran Reserva" ($390), which is excellent, and Grilled Spanish Octopus with Paprika and Ali Oil ($160). For entrees, Ole offers a generous selection of meats, fish and seafood, plus a wide variety of paellas. We settled on Slow Roasted Suckling Pig in the Segovia Way ($320 per portion) and Traditional Spanish Seafood Paella ($480).

The succulent pork tastes tender and we do always enjoy the zesty flavour of the paella.

Make sure you end your meal with some yummy desserts, as we did: Churros con Chocolate Caliente ($80) and Lecha Frita con Salsa Toffee ($80), both of which are delicious and pair excellently with a dessert wine.

For a fun and robust dining experience, Ole is definitely high on the list. Give it a try.

Ole 是香港早期的西班牙餐廳之一，最近在慶祝 20 週年生 日，在這個美食競爭很激烈的城市取得這種成就的確值得恭喜。 餐廳位於中環，保留了西班牙酒館風格。裝修散發出友好的 感覺；兩人的西班牙吉他樂隊使氣氛更溫暖。 Ole 多年來一直堅 持其烹飪理念——用優質原料作出豐盛、地道的西班牙餚。 晚餐時，我們一起分享了幾道開胃菜和主菜，這是享受豐盛 大餐的最佳方式。首先是酥炸西班牙小青椒($90)、西班牙風干火 腿($390)和烤西班牙八爪魚伴甜椒奧利汁($160)。 Ole的主菜以 豐富的肉類，魚類和海鮮為主，還有各式海鮮飯。我們選擇了塞 戈維亞式烤乳豬($320 /份)和傳統西班牙海鮮焗飯($480)。多汁的 豬肉嘗起來鮮嫩可口，海鮮焗飯的風味依舊讓人讚不絕口。 最後一定要嘗幾款美味的甜點，我們品嚐了西班牙小油條伴 朱古力醬($80)和炸鮮奶伴拖肥醬($80)，這兩種甜點都很美味， 配上甜酒非常棒。 Ole 的用餐體驗既豐盛又有趣，您絕對要去試試看。

This season, LEVELthirty is offering the Seafood Boil – a popular cooking method that originates out of Louisiana in which a wide variety of fresh seafood, including Boston Lobster, Octopus, Marinated Bay Abalone, Fresh Squid, Snow Crab Legs, Blue Mussels, Venus Clams, Prawns and Salmon Fillets are cooked at high temperature in an oven bag with aromatic white wine and chicken stock ($538 set for two persons, with two glasses of selected red, white or sparkling wine, available on Mondays and Tuesdays from 6 to 10pm). The seafood is served with deep-fried hush puppies (the batter balls, not the shoes). For evening drinks and a casual meal, that is as good as it gets.

We should note that the former President Suite adjacent to LEVELthirty has been converted into a private function room. Given the views the suite commands, it’s the ideal place for small social or MICE group functions.

The hotel is offering a sumptuous gourmet Chinese Seafood Dinner ($1,198 per person) that goes well with the setting.

Pay a visit to LEVELthirty and catch a different side of Hong Kong while enjoying drinks, food and gorgeous views. It’s still only minutes away from the city centre. 位於香港沙田萬怡酒店（30樓）頂層的是 LEVELthirty 觀 景酒廊，絕對是餐飲界的瑰寶，在這裡可以俯瞰沙田新市鎮、城 門河及遠處吐露港的全景。環繞式露台可供客人享用飲品和美食 之，欣賞美景。這裡的夜景格外精彩，也因此 LEVELthirty 成為 沙田火熱的聚會場所。 除了種類繁多的啤酒(包括香港本地的精釀啤酒)、葡萄 酒和雞尾酒外， LEVELthirty 還提供美味小吃和特色菜餚。 LEVELthirty 這個季節的菜譜是熱海鮮袋——一個源自美國南部 路易斯安那州流行的烹飪方法，新鮮的波士頓龍蝦、鮮魷魚、和 風鮑魚、鱈場蟹腳、藍青口、花甲、大蝦及三文魚柳連同上湯於 耐熱袋中以高溫烹調，配上兩杯紅酒，白酒或汽泡酒( 兩位只需 $538, 供應時間為下午6時至晚上10時)。同時還配有油炸玉米球 對，在這裡夜間小酌或是一頓便餐都很棒。 我們注意到 LEVELthirty 附近的前總統套房已經改建為私人 多功能廳。根據它的設計，是小型社交或會展的理想場所。酒店 提供豐盛的中式海鮮晚餐（每位$1,198），品嚐美食與工作相得 益彰。 建議您到沙田的 LEVELthirty 享用飲品、美食和美景，這裡 距離市中心只有幾分鐘的路程，很方便。

Chiado 希雅度葡国餐厅 The first of our dining destinations is Chiado, the recently opened Portuguese restaurant located in Sands Cotai. Developed in partnership with Portuguese celebrity chef Henrique Sa Pessoa, Chiado is a modern, fine-casual dining concept serving genuine Portuguese food and wines.

Chiado's Head Chef, Dario Santos, under the tutelage of Chef Henrique, shared with us his cooking philosophy – genuine, popular Portuguese dishes influenced by the abundance of quality ingredients throughout Asia. For our dinner, we started with a trio of appetisers: Squid and Prawns Sautéed in Chilli and Garlic with Cherry Tomato Compote Arugula and Parmesan cheese (138 patacas), Thinly Sliced 24-month-cured Pata Negra Ham with Marinated Melon Scented with White Port and Mint (148 patacas), and the highly touted Tuna Tataki with Vegetable Escabeche and Tomato Tartare (168 patacas).

We also had Roasted Pumpkin Soup with Coconut Cream, Prawn and Almonds (98 patacas), which is excellent and distinctively Portuguese. For entrees we shared Boston Lobster Cataplana with Sweet Potato Perfumed with Lemongrass and Ginger (398 patacas) and Portuguese Style Prime Beef Tenderloin with Portuguese Ham, White Wine and Mustard (278 patacas), both of which are tasty and distinctive.

Two desserts: Chocolate Bombe with Salted Caramel and Hazelnut Cream (68 patacas) and Crispy Vanilla Parcels with Raspberry Coulis (68 patacas) completed our satisfying meal.

It's a delight to find good authentic Portuguese food at reasonable prices.

Chiado should do well in Macau’s burgeoning dining scene.Chiado should do well in the burgeoning dining scene in Macau.

6 Nov – 12 Jan. The paintings in this exhibition show us a new fusion between abstraction and nature. In the countless fragmentary brushstrokes, in the depths of the painting, there emerges a faint shadow of an ancient landscape painting, but it is merely a “semblance,” because what the painter aims to capture is the hidden “soul” of ancient painting, and to cause it to magically reveal itself through abstract and poetic means, through means of the “infra-image,” and through musical, rhythmic brushwork.

Ingenious openwork carving techniques yield exquisite works of art which underscore the three-dimensional nature of carving, while creating a multi-dimensional space of overlapping layers that is akin to a drawing depicting intricate plots.

HOTEL CORNER

酒店專才

MEET THE

GENERAL MANAGER

Peter Sih, General Manager at the Courtyard By Marriott Hong Kong Sha Tin, shares with us his experience and perspective of the hotel industry. 香港沙田萬怡酒店總經理薛偉恆先生與我們分享他在酒店業 工作多年的經歷和看法。 Quite simply, my brother decided I was going into the hotel industry after I finished my studies. He knew I couldn’t just sit in the office; I was always active and talkative in school. He thought working in a hotel would suit me. I started out in reception at the Kowloon Shangri-la, standing and talking to people. I liked it and since then it’s been 30 years working in hotels.

My career path was traditional: starting from reception, then the rooms division and sales before moving into management, first as a resident manager and then a GM. It also used to be that many GMs started in the food and beverage area. These days more GMs are promoted from sales and marketing because changes in the competitive environment mean it is important to be able to respond quickly to market developments.

Its location in a satellite town means Courtyard Hong Kong Sha Tin is different from a city hotel. We have more leisure travel guests. That means we need to be smart and flexible in running the hotel, in understanding their unique requirements – be it eating or how the spend their time in the hotel – and then adjust accordingly.

What makes our hotel so special is that we’re the biggest Courtyard in Asia, with 524 rooms, and unlike other limited-service Courtyards, we are a full-service hotel with more: a club lounge, a swimming pool and even a ballroom. This helps create a wow factor with the guests who are always surprised and impressed by the facilities.

My favourite part of the job is being able to go to any part of the hotel and talk to guests and get their feedback and adjust as needed. That is why I think the key for a good general manager is to communicate clearly to colleagues and encourage them to do likewise so we all operate on the same basis.

Hong Kong will continue to be a major tourist destination, especially with the recent completion of major transport links like the High-Speed Rail and the Hong Kong Zhuhai Macau Bridge, which will help attract more visitors. Hong Kong is an international city with rich dining and entertainment cultures and an easy place for anyone to live. The challenge is that with such easy transport links, people may stay here for only short period before connecting to neighbouring cities. But we will remain a hub and an international city.

My recommendations for anyone visiting Hong Kong: 1. Come to Sha Tin and stay at the Courtyard, of course. Visitors can shop at New Town Plaza; for dining Sha Tin is famous for its roast pigeon, chicken congee and tofu custard; there is a famous temple, the Heritage Museum and a scenic bike ride along Tolo Harbour.

2. Visit Central and enjoy its colonial heritage.

3. Visit Sai Kung, a former fishing village, but now offering easy access to the great outdoors and a famous promenade lined with seafood restaurants.

Peter Sih 薛偉恆

很簡單，我的哥哥建議我在完成學業後進入酒店業。他知道我在 辦公室裡是坐不住的，因為我在學校一直很活躍，也很健談，所以我 哥哥認為在酒店工作很適合我。起初我在九龍香格里拉酒店的前台工 作，站在那里和人們交談。我很喜歡，從那時起至今我在酒店工作了 30年。 我的職業道路很普通：從前台開始，然後是客房部、銷售、而後 進入管理層，首先是駐店經理，而後晉升為總經理。如今，由於競爭 環境的變化和更快反應市場需求，越來越多的總經理從銷售和營銷領 域晉升而來。 香港沙田萬怡酒店位於新市鎮，意味著與城市酒店不同，很多來 此遊客都是為了休閒，所以我們需要在經營上要更聰靈活，了解他們 的要求——無論是吃飯還是在酒店消磨時間——都是與眾不同的，我 們要根據需求做出調整。 酒店特別之處在於我們是亞洲最大的萬怡酒店，擁有 524 間客 房，與其他萬怡酒店不同，我們提供全方位服務，包括俱樂部休息 室、游泳池甚至是宴會廳。這會給客人帶來絕對驚喜。 我最喜歡的工作是能夠去酒店並與客人交談，獲得他們的反饋， 並以此為依據進行調整。這就是為什麼我認為一個好的總經理，要充 分地與同事溝通、鼓勵他們，這樣我們才能一同為酒店服務。 香港仍會保留它的旅遊優勢，特別是高速鐵路和港珠澳大橋等主 要交通幹線的建成，都將吸引更多的遊客。香港是一個國際化的城 市，有着豐富的餐飲和娛樂文化，生活便利。挑戰可能在於，由於交 通便利，人們可能會在香港逗留時間較短，就轉往鄰近城市。但香港 始終是個國際化的中心城市。 我給遊客們的建議：

1. 參觀沙田，當然要住萬怡酒店。遊客可在新城市廣場購物；享用 沙田三寶：燒乳鴿、雞肉粥和豆腐花；參觀當地著名寺廟、文化 博物館，也可以沿吐露港騎行，欣賞沿線風景。 2. 到訪中環，並欣賞殖民時期遺址。 3. 遊覽曾是個漁村的西貢。享受戶外活動，嚐嚐那里美味的海鮮 大餐。
