📍🇲🇴 #foodieleimacao · 🌱可持續之味 | Celebrate Sustainability （中文文字請見上一貼文🙏🏻） Sustainable dining is with no doubt the trend in the gastronomy industry -balancing sustainability and indulgence becomes an inevitable challenge for all chefs. This month the Manor is launching yet another themed dinner, “Celebrate Sustainability”, presenting sustainable fine dining with a six-course menu utilizing seasonal ingredients provided by sustainable producers. Indeed an approach not many in Macau dare to take. Starting the night with the True Born Tenderloin Tartare, a sustainable, open-air breeding beef from a sunny Portuguese town Monte do Pasto. Tender as expected, the rich beef flavors are just exaggerated with simple tartare seasoning and Calvisius Siberian caviar on top. My fav of the night 👌🏻 The award winning Canary Island Aquanaria Seabass is the true sustainable ingredient with loads of recognitions in its tally. To maximize flavors, the fillet was seared, smoked and slow cooked in order to preserve its delicate texture and hints of sweetness.   Crowned with Calvisius Oscietra Royal Caviar, the Barley Risotto with Hokkaido scallops, burrata cheese and beetroot takes the palate onto an rich and harmonious umami journey comprised of a variety of flavors. Found it lovely to have beetroot as the risotto sauce as a refreshment, too. Pairing with an organic wine of tropical fruits aroma, Domaine Bechtold Gewurztraminer, Alasce, France, 2019, it goes particularly nice with burrata and definitely our favorite bottle from the lineup. Desserts at the Manor never disappoint, and this time is no exception. The ‘Glenilen’ Yogurt Panna Cotta, made with a creamy yogurt from an century old, small Irish dairy farm. Extremely creamy and silky, it’s just best to be made into something simple as a Panna Cotta pairing with seasonal fruits like apricot, peach, wild berry. What a lovely note to end the night! The Celebrate Sustainability is available daily, priced at MOP888+ per person and MOP1,388+ with premier biodynamic wine pairing. Oh and there will be a wine dinner this Friday where you get to enjoy the menu in a sea of flowers😌the best way to usher in the weekend!

： ［中文／English］ 在碩士畢業兩年後，我回頭購買了當初的畢業照，當作一個紀念，畢竟人生可能只有這一次藝術創作碩士畢業（而且這張可是要一千二，美國人好會噱）。我最近常常想到紐約三年的養分，如何成就了現在的自己。下週，我即將開始攻讀第二個碩士，國立臺北藝術大學舞蹈研究（理論與跨域身體實踐）的理論碩士。很感謝生命一直有成長的機會，未來也持續變化。 Two years after graduating, I bought this photo, as a souvenir of the memory of the three years in New York. Next week, I will embark on the journey of pursuing my second master in Dance Studies, M.A, at Taipei National University of the Arts. Hope life will keep changing. #performancestudies #prattpps #performance #performanceart #art #artist #江峰 #江峰Jiangfeng #jiangfeng #jiangfeng江峰 #jiangfengtaiwan #ny #nyc #newyork #newyorkcity #dance #theater #pratt #prattinstitute #graduate #graduation #mfa #ma #master #tnua #taiwan #taipei #dancestudies

“I know eventually, we’d still daydream about the what-ifs. But I hope that we’d be able to tell ourselves that what’s been done can’t be changed, and more importantly, there is still time to manifest those wonders.” Growing up, or to put it in the other words, getting old, means we have to face new challenges  almost every day. Some people like to document their novel experience through talking to people around them, some use their cameras to capture the moments, while some enjoy writing their feelings down through blogging and poetry.  Angel, one of the sweetest girls I’ve met, is great at using her words to explain the world around her and to communicate love. She is also an adventurous young lady who embraces changes in life while holding onto things that she loves. It has rocked my world when I learned that Angel has self-published her first book “till she flies again” - well writing a book has been one of my dreams but I never really started working on it. This collection of prose and poetry by Angel is a very lovely read. You can feel her devotion to life and people around her. The flow of thoughts in this book reminds me of my younger self when I was facing many life choices and excited about the unknown future. (damn I’m old!)  It is also an inspiration to people (including me) who want to accomplish things that they love instead of only completing what they are expected or obliged to do. If you need some motivation right now, go check out this little book! Here’s to the crazy little thing called love. 🥂 📖 till she flies again - Angel Lai @angellaix “This book captures those moments and feelings through the lens of a young woman in raw and honest words. A collection of prose and poetry written in a span of 4 years, which encapsulates both the fun and confusing journey of being an early 20s.” You can order a copy of the book via Amazon or Book Depository. E-book version is also available on Kindle! 謝謝你們讀到這裡，這次的書評特別想以英文撰寫，中文內容會很快回歸！ #book #reading #fiction #poetry #prose #writer #閱讀 #書 #詩 #散文 #新書推介
