再見龍門 adios Lung Moon


十一月的再見一個接一個,先有牛頭角下邨,幾天後輪到龍門大酒樓。其實龍門的菜不是那麼好,進門里面的感覺像是紐約唐人街的舊餐館。大概是它的歷史比口碑還重要。曾幾何時,它是第一間有冷氣的酒樓,它的大包也很受歡迎。跟北島中華人民共和國一樣,也是1949年“生”的。龍門挨到第六十個年頭便說再見,為甚麼?如果地產商給你四億港幣的話,你會不會乖乖就範?

十一月三十號最後的龍門晚宴三百塊一個人,對我這個不常在港島的新界仔來說太貴了。因此提早幾個晚上到那里用餐。一味鴛鴦雞(蒸田雞和雞)倒不錯,是個完美的結局吧。聽說老板會找新地方重開酒樓,希望能成事啦。傳統,比食物的口感還重要。

The food was mediocre, more like those huge, coarsely presented buns and dim sums in New York Chinatown restaurants, or perhaps that's what the 1960s looked like? Lung Mun closed its doors in its 60th year of operation. The decor looked dated, but was quite refine when it started running and up til the 1980s. Afterall, that was the first dim sum restaurant to be air-conditioned. In the spirit of the ever developing Hong Kong, some real estate developer offered HKD400 million to the own for the plot of land on Johnston Road in Wanchai. Rumors have the restaurant owner looking for a place to reopen, let's keep our fingers crossed.
