Budapest Beer Beer貢 #26


Tapaella Grill

最賺錢的黑毛豬火腿疊得有立體感,雖不是頂級貨,但鹹香十足,油脂入口即融。
西班牙雞肉海鮮飯認真足料,飯用雞湯煮,少少雞肉已帶出鮮味,而海鮮大大隻。

Carnevino

國際知名意籍大廚 Mario Batali 旗下獲獎無數的拉斯維加斯高級扒房Dry Aged 牛扒,風味靚扒和專為新店創作的菜式同步登場。
有別於拉斯維加斯總店華麗輝煌的地中海格調,香港店則以深棕色作主調,使用雲石、皮革及木材展現低調優雅的品味。

Dry Aged熟成期進入第 60 天,肉扒質素突飛猛進,無論肉味濃度和肉質軟度均有極佳風味,由此得出愈存久效果愈佳的結論。為了應付香港店的需要而在九龍區自設熟成儲藏室,牛扒置於攝氏 1-3 度、濕度 85-90 度的儲藏室 60-80 天。

Cosmopolis

Robert Pattinson飾演年輕才俊,坐擁億萬身家及大型企業,但他在一天內卻經歷了事業挫敗及價值觀的衝擊。電影改編自2003年的同名小說,當中寄寓資本主義的崩潰。David Cronenberg指今日拍成電影,因美國近年經歷過金融海嘯及佔領華爾街事件,故事更有着現世的映照,所指的已非美國,而是全球的縮影。

Budapest Parliament #23

地標Parliament國會:寬268公尺、高約96公尺,共花費17年時間的新哥德式雄偉建築,尢其尖塔的精細雕工與精美的玫瑰窗,更透露出莊嚴氣魄。
要進入國會參觀必須參加定時的導覽團,早上8時多便要排隊取籌買門票,必須先排隊依序入內購票,購完票後再出來排一次隊,等待警衙召喚入內。
More than a 100 years after it first opened, Hungary's Parliament building remains the city's primary source of civic pride. 

The neo-Gothic building was designed by Hungarian architect Imre Steindl (a professor at Budapest Technical University, who won an open competition held to find an architect for the building. Inspired by London's Houses of Parliament), and built between 1885 and 1902. It consists of 691 rooms, 10 courtyards, and 29 staircases. 88 pounds of gold were used for the staircases and halls. It also has 24 towers with arches and high windows, 90 statues of historical figures of Hungary, and 242 allegorical statues.

This magnificent edifice is filled with paintings, frescoes and tapestries by renowned Hungarian artists. The interior can only be seen by joining one of the guided tours, which take place when Parliament is not in session.

Kossuth Memorial, ParliamentThe original monument was inaugurated on November 6, 1927 to honour Lajos Kassuth, the Regent-President of Hungary, who led the 1848 revolution. Designed by Janos Horvay, the monument depicted members of the first Hungarian parliamentary government. It was dismantled in 1950, and replaced with a new statue of Kossuth, and six other figures.
