[#台味甜蜜蜜 / The Sweet Taste of Taiwan] 老闆,來一碗滷肉飯!/ Taiwan in a bowl: Lu Rou Fan (English below)
說到法式甜點的 #台灣味,怎麼能不提萬華的 菓實日?
前幾年就為菓實日將台灣傳統文化融入法式甜點的創意心折,如果說巴黎有日式銅鑼燒店 Pâtisserie TOMO 作為日法甜點水乳交融之作的代表,(參見 #法式甜點學 p.156, 241, 336, 337),菓實日便似乎象徵著法式甜點真正能在台灣生根、與在地庶民文化結合開出的芳草奇卉。TOMO 以法式甜點技法重新詮釋日式甜點,外型融入了銅鑼燒與法式經典(如 Paris-Tokyo、檸檬塔、反轉蘋果塔、日本威士忌聖托佩塔等)、口味也兼有兩者之長;菓實日則不受限於單一類型糕點,代表作「紅龜」與「滷肉飯」大膽地用法式蛋糕(entremets)重新詮釋了他們心目中的台味與台灣精神。
數年前有幸品嚐過「紅龜」,一直對酒釀慕斯加紅豆餡既新奇又傳統的搭配念念不忘。這次趁著留在台灣的時間,又去拜訪了他們幾次,還剛好遇到他們在籌備線上課程期間,有幸飽覽饅頭主廚的精彩作品,並品嚐了這碗讓我一直好奇不已的「滷肉飯」。「滷肉飯」不僅有著法式甜點繁複多層的特質,還非常奇妙地揉合了台味無比的混搭創意:以蜜漬地瓜丁加焦糖醬模擬了滷肉飯的靈魂元素——滷肉與滷汁、米香白巧克力薄殼包裹著八角慕斯則成了晶瑩的米飯,最妙的是一匙舀起,還會意外地發現碗底的驚喜:肉鬆加自製酥菠蘿(奶酥、crumble)和生乳酪蛋糕體,最上方點上一片鮮綠的香菜,就變成了一碗技法完全是法式、但風味組合與精神卻100%台味的滷肉飯造型甜點。
前兩個禮拜我提到「是否有 #台灣神髓?」、「什麼是台灣神髓?」、「台灣神髓是否能被表現出來、又該怎麼表現?」,而菓實日的「滷肉飯」幾乎是不偏不倚地回答了這些問題。所有曾經必須對外國友人介紹台灣飲食的朋友,都會知道「台灣味」、「台菜」非常難以定義與畫出界線,因為台灣就是一個充滿了移民的島嶼、乘載了各種不同文化混雜的歷史,尋求「純粹的」台味很難不落入徒勞無功的下場。事實上台灣的活力,確實也來自於那種能將不同文化輕鬆且毫不做作地混搭、交融的自在。菓實日的「滷肉飯」恰恰體現了這種看似大膽奔放、但成果無比協調的餘裕。多達八層,且有香菜、地瓜、八角、肉鬆等台灣常見的料理元素,被妥貼地收納在這個「法式蛋糕」中。或許你無法一口氣分辨出每一種元素與層次,但它們卻如此完滿、歡欣地在嘴裡融合在一起,讓人不由得脫口而出「好吃」!哎呀,這不正是「台灣」和「台灣神髓」嗎?
老闆,再來一碗啦!
📌 菓實日目前正在休息準備下一步計畫中,門市並未對外營業。饅頭主廚與先生韞豐正在忙著籌備他們的線上課程,也有一些與桃園 雙口呂 Siang kháu Lū 文化廚房合作的實體教學。接下來會有小量對外販售的計畫,關心他們動態的朋友記得追蹤菓實日的粉絲頁;好奇這些台味甜點如何設計、製作,也可以了解他們傾囊相授的線上課程!https://tinyurl.com/y8cchelc

Kajitsu, a hidden treasure in Taipei’s Wanhua district, is a little French pastry shop that makes Taiwan-inspired pastries. Chef Mantou transforms traditional festive pastry “Âng-ku-kóe” and “Lu Rou Fan”, Taiwan’s national dish, into French entremets. It is not unusual that food adapts to local tastes when it travel overseas. It takes place in different forms. Take French pastries for instance, adding local ingredients in the classics is one way. For example, Japanese chefs may use yuzu to replace lemon when making their tarte au citron. Employing foreign skills to revisit or transform one’s traditions is another. Pâtisserie TOMO in Paris that combines Dorayaki and classic French pastries serves one of the best examples. In Taiwan, Kajitsu is another interesting case.
“Âng-ku-kóe”, “red tortoise cake”, used to be the most popular local festive pastry in old times. It’s shaped as a turtle and coloured in red (sometimes in green) since turtles are a symbol of longevity, fortune, and fame in Taiwan. Red is also the lucky color here. In Kajitsu, chef Mantou tries to transform this traditional delight into a French entremets. She keeps the sweet red bean paste in the filling and matches it with sweet rice wine mousse to modernise the traditional taste. “Lu Rou Fan”, braised pork rice, one of the most beloved dishes that can be seen everywhere in Taiwan, is the chef’s another brilliant creation. Mantou takes sweet potato confit and caramel sauce to create a “trompe l’œil” of the famed braised pork and its sauce, star anise mousse hints the indispensable spice during the braising, the rice crispy and white chocolate coating shape the bowl of rice, and the unusual combination of pork floss and cheesecake gives a little surprise beneath. A refreshing coriander leave on top takes you to the humid summer of Taiwan instantly. Lots of seemingly conflicting ingredients are grouped together, resulting in, however, an incredible harmony. It is a fascinating dessert that can only be created by a Taiwanese pastry chef as it parallels Taiwan’s history and reflects its source of energy: immigrants with diverse origins, cultures and values cohabit and learn to evolve together.
As Kajitsu’s pastries are deeply rooted in the everyday life of Taiwan, there are also other intriguing creations such as petits fours with motifs of old tiles and the sweet “Doom crackers” inspired by the role of the god ruling the Qing Shan Temple in Wanhua district.

@huxley_sg NEW launch is available at Guardian 🆃🅾️🅼🅾️🆁🆁🅾️🆆!
Prickly pear — a succulent that yields green, orange, and raspberry-colored fruit — is emerging as a promising skin-care ingredient. Oil extracted from its seeds and stems are rich in vitamin E, an anti-inflammatory antioxidant. Prickly pear also helps heal wounds (broken skin from a popped pimple, for example) faster, it reduces redness, and when paired with ceramides (a moisturizing lotion ingredient), it also slows the breakdown of collagen.
Huxley is also the skin-care brand of choice among Korean flight attendants. Can you blame them? Sahara-sourced prickly pear is the most plentiful ingredient in each product and the non-fussy packaging is incredibly chic and travel-friendly.
ᴡʜᴀᴛ ɪ ʟɪᴋᴇᴅ:
• 𝕆𝕚𝕝: 𝕝𝕚𝕘𝕙𝕥 𝕒𝕟𝕕 𝕞𝕠𝕣𝕖 is an extremely light oil that even I, a life-long shiny person, can use. As the final step in a routine it “locks in” in all of the moisturizing properties in the creams and serums that came before. But trust me, you won’t look greasy.
• ℂ𝕣𝕖𝕒𝕞: 𝕞𝕠𝕣𝕖 𝕥𝕙𝕒𝕟 𝕞𝕠𝕚𝕤𝕥 initially feels dense but absorbs quickly and moisturizes deeply.

【鍵盤支援時間!】
問大家一個問題,如果在中國境內無法使用推特,那你覺得作為中國共產黨機關報的「人民日報」會不會有推特帳號?
答案是,當然有!不然中國要怎麼持續對外輸出他們的意識形態和統戰呢?
今天小編滑推特時,看到人民日報這篇推廣花蓮是「人間仙境」(fairyland on earth)的影片,想說也太奇怪了,為什麼中國要替我們拚觀光?仔細一看,原來他們推廣的是「Hualien, Taiwan, China」的觀光。
大家知道嗎?台灣就這樣每天每天在世界的各個角落,被中國默默統戰中。這些中國對台灣主權侵犯的行為,都是真實的,但在台灣卻還是有不少人認為應該以和為貴,要一家親。甚至像前幾天發生中共戰機蓄意越過海峽中線這類挑釁行為,島內還是有某些人的態度是各打五十大板,叫兩邊要坐下來好好談。到底今天主動挑釁的是誰?(那些為敵軍講話的親共言論就更不用說了)
由於實在忍不住了,所以觀測站就在他們的推特和臉書上做了回覆,也把內容放出來讓大家參考,以後大家要是遇到類似的狀況,也要勇敢替台灣發聲啊!
Sitting between the emerald green Central Mountain Range and the dazzling blue Pacific Ocean, Hualien is indeed a fairyland on Earth. Hualien is simply breathtaking! However, Hualien is not a part of China! In fact, Hualien is located in Taiwan, a self-governed democratic country. Taiwan's current president, Tsai Ing-Wen, is the first female Asian head of state who is not from a political family. If you want to visit this beautiful city, you will need to abide by the traveling regulations of Taiwanese government, not by those of Chinese government. For example, Taiwan and the United States enjoy a mutual VISA waiver program. The U.S. citizens don't need a travel visa to visit Taiwan, if the stay is less than six months. On the other hand, a visa is always required when visiting China from the U.S. We appreciate your effort for promoting the beauty of Taiwan, but it is not right to make a false claim of Taiwan’s sovereignty.
「花蓮坐落在翠綠色的中央山脈和耀眼的藍色太平洋之間,確實是人間仙境。花蓮簡直令人嘆為觀止!但是,花蓮不是中國的一部分!事實上,花蓮位於台灣,一個自治的民主國家。台灣現任總統蔡英文是亞洲第一位沒有政治世家背景的女性元首。如果你想拜訪這個美麗的城市,你需要遵守台灣政府的旅行規定,而不是中國政府的規定。例如,台灣和美國相互享有免簽計劃。如果逗留時間少於六個月,美國公民不需要旅行簽證就可以拜訪台灣。而在另一方面,美國公民拜訪中國時總是需要簽證。我們感謝你在宣傳台灣之美所做的努力,但對台灣主權的錯誤主張是不對的。」

These are seven unmissable experiences you need to try in Japan. Marvel at amezaiku (the art of candy crafting) in Tokyo, un-wine-d in a giant pool of vino at the Yunessun Spa Resort in Hakone or check out the Kakunodate Fire and Snow Festival in Akita prefecture.
Home to both futuristic robots and centuries-old shrines, Japan seamlessly blends the old with the new. Here are four experiences you need to cross off your list when visiting.
Around Lunar New Year, in January or February, a snowy corner of Akita prefecture hosts the Hiburi Kamakura Festival, the Fire and Snow Festival. The event, which marks the end of winter and the beginning of spring, involves the welcoming of good spirits, or kami. During the first part of the Hiburi Kamakura Festival, a shrine is constructed in the spirits’ honour, and is decorated with offerings and good luck charms. As the night goes on, a bonfire is lit, and bales of hay and charcoal are tied up with lengths of straw rope. Those participating in the Hiburi dance prepare by wrapping their hair in headscarves and slipping their hands into protective gloves, to stop them from getting singed. Read the full history here: https://theculturetrip.com/asia/japan/articles/hiburi-kamakura-the-festival-of-fire-and-snow/.
Visiting stuffy old temples may not seem like the most exciting activity for kids to do, but there are thousands of fascinating temples and shrines in Japan. Gotokuji, for example, is one of the luckiest temples in Tokyo as it is the birthplace of maneki-neko. Gotokji is home to over 10,000 of these cat figurines, which are believed to bring good luck. A classic maneki-neko looks like a Japanese bobtail cat with a calico coat, but the friendly feline now comes in all types and colours. Typically, one or both paws are raised. They are often called ‘waving cats’ in English because of the position of the paw, but in Japan, this gesture, with the palm facing down, is used to beckon someone towards you. Others see a cat raising a paw to wash itself. For more about cats in Tokyo, read: https://theculturetrip.com/asia/japan/articles/this-is-why-you-need-to-visit-tokyos-cat-town/.
Japan has a reputation for innovation, and that extends to its food and desserts. The traditional candy craft of amezaiku blurs the line between food and art. Using hot, malleable taffy, candy artisans, known as ame shokunin, bring these sugar sculptures to life with colour, shape and texture. To get acquainted with this art form, visit: https://theculturetrip.com/asia/japan/articles/amezaiku-traditional-japanese-sugar-sculpture/.
How about unwinding in a giant pool of wine at Yunessun Spa Resort in Hakone? Yes, you read that right. Merlot lovers have a new way of enjoying their favourite tipple. But if wine isn't your thing, don’t worry. You can take a dip in coffee, green tea or sake instead!

ในวันนี้ใครมาเที่ยวปากช่องเขาใหญ่ วังน้ำเขียว นอกจาก Cup of love วังน้ำเขียวแล้ว ปาริโอปากช่อง เป็นที่ท่องเที่ยวที่คนสร้างขึ้นมา ที่น่าจะไปเที่ยวที่สุดครับ ปาริโอถูกสร้างให้เป็นแบบยุโรป บนหุบเขาเล็กๆ ทางไปเขาใหญ่ รูปแบบจะเป็นร้านค้าให้เช่าขายของกุ๊กกิ๊ก มีมุมถ่ายรูปสวยๆ ให้นักท่องเที่ยวอัพเดทเฟสบุ๊ค ในช่วงเวลาไม่กี่ปีทำให้ปาริโอเขาใหญ่ เป็นที่ท่องเที่ยวที่น้อยคนไม่รู้จัก
ผมมานั่งคิดๆดูนะ ที่ท่องเที่ยวแนวแบบนี้เริ่มมีอเยอะขึ้นในบ้านเรา แต่ละที่เน้นให้คนมาถ่ายรูปกะวิวสวยๆ เช่นเพลินวานหัวหิน บ้านเทียนหอมและนิวแลนด์สวนผึ้ง cub of love วังน้ำเขียว ร้านกาแฟปายอินเลิฟ อำเภอปายแม่ฮ่องสอน และน่าจะมีอีกหลายแห่งที่จะเปิดตามที่ท่องเที่ยวต่างๆครับ ก็เป็นสิ่งที่ดีทำให้ที่ท่องเที่ยวเพิ่มมากขึ้นในประเทศเรา
mr.Horsia เองไม่ค่อยได้เที่ยวแนวนี้เท่าไร แต่ก็พยายามเอาข้อมูลและรูปมาฝากกันครับ สามารถดูเว็บไซต์ของปาริโอตรงๆได้ที่ http://www.palio-khaoyai.com Mr.Hotsia ตุลาคม 2554
Today I come to Chong Khao Yai Wangnamkweo Wangnamkweo then the Cup of love. Rio Spa Pak. It is best to create. Most likely to me. Club Rio is a European style. On his way to the valley of a small format stores that sell the tinkle I have photographed. Facebook updated to tourists. In a few years ago, the Rio Resort in Khao Yai. Few sights are not known.
I think I see. This was the best I have in our homes. Each of which focuses on the people to take my great views. For example, while at San Francisco. Scented candles and home Newlands cub of love Suan Wang Nam Pai green coffee in Love. Pai, Mae Hong Son And there will be many more to be opened as tourist attractions here. It is what makes the best growth in our country.
I do not have much more to this mr.Horsia. I tried to remove it and leave. You can look directly at the Rio Hotel. http://www.palio-khaoyai.com Mr.Hotsia October 2554.
