端午節快樂！
又到了包粽吃粽的時節！剛聽到一個脾胃虛弱容易胃脹不適的病人提到端午節會每天吃粽！所以也要提醒大家，現在氣候濕重，體內容易聚集濕氣，內外因素使脾胃消化功能變差，引起胃氣、胃脹甚至胃痛等問題。
➽粽的主要成分──糯米，有補中益氣、止瀉、止汗的功效。能暖脾胃，減夜尿。還是要注意，扭傷、痛症患者不宜服用，胃部容易不適者（多胃脹、有胃氣）不 宜 多 食，極其量一星期1-2隻粽好了。

It’s the festive holiday of making and eating rice dumplings again! Just heard a patient with weak stomach and spleen mention eating it every day during this time! A gentle reminder to everyone that it’s a humid season and the body tenders to collect dampness. Different internal and external factors may negatively affect your digestive system, causing gassiness, stomach bloating and even stomaches. The main ingredient in rice dumpling is glutinous rice which helps to replenish vital energy and qi, and has healing effects of stopping diarrhea and excessive sweating. Glutinous rice, however, is not suitable for those with muscle sprains or chronic pain conditions. It is also not recommended for those prone to stomach discomfort (bloating and gassiness), at most 1-2 rice dumplings per week is recommended.

Wagyu Boat Noodles - KuaiTiao Reua. The Beef pieces were tender & generous, albeit no Wagyu taste. The soup base is decent, but it doesn't have much Nam Tok一 blood taste and there's not much meatiness broth. For $128 I don't mind paying if it's premium grade excellent, but overall I thought this visit and bowl wasn't overly convincing just yet in balance... 【Samsen, Wanchai, HK】HKE Score: 7.5 / 10
