你知道嗎？【🇭🇰香港冰室跟茶餐廳的差別】
#本日冷知識1555

大家好，我是Mr Holiday。
先祝大家新年快樂，牛年大吉！
.
有看過港片或是有去過香港的朋友，都應該有聽過「茶餐廳」或是「冰室」吧？
隨著台港兩地交流變多，現在在台灣也有很多香港茶餐廳以及冰室，所以今天就跟大家介紹一下兩者的差別！
.
冰室（Bing Sutt）其實是歷史比較悠久的。從廣州發源，一開始是只賣冷飲的飲料店。後來冰室除了可以賣飲料，還賣三明治（或是廣東話的「三文治」）跟蛋糕。但是因為茶室通常只有小吃執照，所以不能夠供應炒飯跟其他小菜。但是在當時西方食物比較貴的時代，冰室是一個當地人可以用便宜價格吃到類西方食物的地方。
.
冰室也發展出幾個獨有的飲料，以下舉幾個例子：
- 🥤黑牛（Black Cow）：先把可樂倒到杯子裡面之後，再加一球巧克力（或是廣東話的「朱古力」）冰淇淋的飲品
- ☕️兒童鴛鴦（Child Yuan Yang）：不同於一般鴛鴦是茶加咖啡，為了顧及小朋友不適合攝取咖啡因，便將阿華田（Ovaltine）加好立克（Horlicks，一種麥芽熱飲），混合成兒童版本的鴛鴦
.
而茶餐廳（Cha Chaan Teng）跟冰室不同的是，經營茶餐廳需要申請餐廳執照。客人除了把冰室的用語帶到了茶餐廳，茶餐廳也開始有了自己的慣用語：
- 🚫走：廣東話在物品的前面加「走」，就是去除什麼的意思。例如走冰就是去冰，走蔥、走薑就是不要加蔥跟薑
- ☕茶走跟啡走：茶走是奶茶不加糖而加煉乳；啡走是咖啡不加糖而加煉乳
- 🍚靚仔跟靚女：字面上是帥哥的意思，但是在茶餐廳是白飯的意思，因為取其「清靚白潔」之意；靚女字面上是美女，但是其實是白粥的意思，取其「細軟綿滑」之意。雖然現在很多時候，這兩個詞用在稱呼餐廳服務生
- 🥚和尚跳海：其實就是沸水煮蛋，因為蛋黃像是和尚的光頭，而蛋白長得像和尚的袈裟
.
茶餐廳因為可以賣正餐，所以就發展出很多中西合璧的餐點：
- 🍜麵類：麵條可以選擇公仔麵或是通粉，配料有午餐肉、蛋、豬排等。如果做成湯麵的話就會加雞湯
- 🥪公司三文治（Club Sandwich）：等同於台灣的總匯三明治
- 🥐菠蘿油：在菠蘿麵包中加一片奶油
- 🍗小菜：瑞士雞翅
.
總結一下，冰室跟茶餐廳的差別主要在於登記的名目不同。但是兩者都承載著香港的文化，並反映出香港繁忙的社會氛圍：上菜要快、空間要充分利用、廣納中西文化的特點等。
.
食物跟人的關係是非常密切的，以後出去吃巷口的小吃，也可以觀察一下台灣自己的小吃文化，我想也是一個值得研究的題目呢！
.
我們下次見！

Don’t Be Naive! Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is Standing on the Side Against Human Civilization
　
Peaceful world order after WWII had been established upon the philosophy worshiping multilateralism. The cultural basis supporting such multilateralism contained an imagination believing in the ultimate good of the respect for diversity.
　
The Rise of China and the Naivete of EU
　
However, as time progressed into the Post-Cold War era of the 90's, globalization in trade became the dominant trend. Following the global embrace of multilateralism and respect for diversity, it was believed that China would have been influenced by open and positive values once she had participated in this big family of global trade. Indeed, China took advantage of its role as the "world factory" and gained a huge economic leap forward. After China joined the WTO in 2000, within seventeen to eighteen years, China had grown nine-fold compared in terms of its aggregate economic volume. Furthermore, it surpassed Germany in 2005 and Japan between 2009 and 2010, becoming the second-largest economy in the world.
　
In particular, due to the global financial crisis derived from the subprime mortgage in 2007 and Lehman Brothers' bankruptcy in 2008 in the United States, the PIGGS countries turned into victims in Europe. China thus took advantage of this crisis to expand its power, bridging China’s role as depicted in Hu JinTao's "China's peaceful rise" to that in Xi JinPing's "China dream." Finally, China has revealed its ambition to compete for the position as a world leader and a planner of a new world order. The United States has finally, recently woken up to this nightmare of Xi, who has long intended to use China's almighty economic power to achieve his political agenda and hegemony. Unfortunately, many EU countries who consider themselves as advanced, civilized, pro-human rights and respectful to diversification, such as Germany and France, still fail, or refuse, to see the CCP regime’s true color and remain extremely naive towards it.
　
Repulsion towards Vulgarity, Tolerance towards Violence
　
Ironically, the two leading EU countries, Germany and France, prefer a dictatorial emperor, Xi, over Trump elected by the Americans with their ballots. The two countries do not shy away from showing them disgusted by Trump’s vulgar behaviors, but reluctantly show intolerance towards Xi’s cruelty and dictatorship. As a result, the EU countries develop inconceivable and mysterious stubbornness: they loudly criticize countries practicing death penalty based on their own judicial system; however, they are generous and subdued when it comes to the violence happening in HongKong where the HongKong police and Chinese GongAn basically bypass all applicable, or reasonable, laws. We should find this contrast deeply disturbing.
　
Seeing CCP through the eyes of Mao
　
In fact, these european countries and the western world are deluded by the so-called “respect for diversity.” Let’s use the wisdom of the CCP’s spiritual leader, Mao Ze Dong, as a framework to rethink this diversity concept in civilization. In his work “Correct Handling of Contradictions Between People,” published in 1957, Mao clearly classified social contradictions into “contradictions of two different natures”: “contradictions between ourselves and the enemy” and “internal contradictions among the people”. Contradictions between ourselves and the enemy are antagonistic, for example the contradictions between the exploiting and the exploited classes; but contradictions among people is non-antagonistic. Therefore, the former can not be mediated and resolved, but the latter one can be. Mao further advocated that contradictions between ourselves and the enemy should be resolved by dictatorship, but contradictions between the people should be resolved by a method of “cooperation-criticism-cooperation.” In other words, incompatible contradictions between ourselves and the enemy can only be solved by suppression, but internal contradictions can be softened by cooperation.
　
Civilization and CCP - Two Incompatible Conflicting Systems
　
It is time for us to recognize that CCP, a sovereign of authoritarianism and digital dictatorship, should not have been regarded as a representation of the diversity of human civilization. Diversity should be defined based on a founded premise, i.e., a premise confined with certain agreements and consensus, necessary and beneficial for composing diversity. In fact, the value CCP stands for is against the universally accepted values of the world, just like the “incompatible contradictions between ourselves and the enemy”, as Mao said. As long as the existence of the CCP regime continues, human civilization will continue to be persecuted. It can be seen in the current situation of Hong Kong, where China approved the new bill of national security, thereby destroying the remaining freedom guaranteed to Hong Kongers, and assigned the “secret” police gangs to enforce the so-called “justice”.
　
To see the contracting natures of civilization and the CCP regime, we make an analogy with food. Normally, we respect other people’s choice for food. For instance, Ann prefers rice, Bob prefers noodles, John is a meat lover, Mary only eats seafood, etc. Although those four people have different choices of what they like to eat, they respect each other’s choices of food. However, when Daniel comes over and tells the group that he prefers to eat faeces and needs to be respected for his preference, we can start to see the ridiculousness in it. At first, the four people think eating faeces is a personal choice for Daniel, and Daniel can do whatever he/she wants as long as he/she does it at his/her home. The problem rises when Daniel starts to force other people to eat faeces, while the other four people think faeces is inedible, and should never be served on a plate.
　
The food analogy tells us that the CCP regime is inherently against human civilization. As a reasonable human being could not categorize feces as food, we should not be tricked to believe that the authoritarian regime of China can blend in and contribute to human civilization. The CCP regime is incompatible to human civilization just like we should not consider to eat a meal with feces in it. As the master of CCP, Mao, admitted, one can never resolve the contradiction between the authoritarian regime of China and human civilization. The existence of Chinese authoritarian regime is a symbol for deprivation of human civilization. For us to maintain and preserve human civilization, Chinese authoritarian regime must be eradicated. There is no room for the coexistence of the CCP regime and human civilization.
　　
Draw a Bottom Line to the Respect for Diversity
　
Therefore, among western countries, the United States have started or should start to realize that although diversity needs to be respected and tolerated, a reasonable bottom line should be drawn to such respect. Like what I have mentioned above, rice, noodles, meat, seafood and so on should be viewed as food; however, as we can all reasonably agree, feces should not be a part of the league. The United States is now acting to exclude “feces” from the democratic league and draw a bottom line for respect-worthy diversity. However, leading EU countries are still trapped in their fancy, unconditional acceptance to “respect for diversity.” Such respect is hypocritical, empty and baseless. Now, you should be able to understand why leftards in the EU would vigorously criticize death sentences executed under a legitimate judicial system but remain indifferent to the CCP regime’s merciless, relentless and oppressive killings. Namely, they simply set a wrong premise, including feces as an eligible option for “diversity.” As for those who embrace the CCP regime because of economic benefits, they do not even deserve to be viewed as EU leftards, but merely gold diggers in the EU.
