聽着老廣東歌走過港島北岸海濱長廊，忽發奇想要吃大牌檔來完成這段本地遊經歷，家住香港但大部分時間都花在大學醫院和相熟餐廳，難得能享受一下香港情懷。 身在西灣河，想不到往哪裏找大牌檔，只知道赤柱正街有「泗益」和「民益」，中學寄宿日子在那裏吃了不少魚蛋粉，現今若有機會回母校聖士提反書院也定必幫襯，尤其是「泗益」那西多士已是網紅名物。 另一大牌檔便是中環士丹利街的「陳泗記」，這路程較合理，反正早已過了午餐時間。招呼醫生的「伙計」完全不像「伙計」，穿緊身運動衣，一身橫練肌肉顯而易見，一星期不去Gym兩三次難有這般效果。醫生問咖啡好還是奶茶好？他便老實地說兩樣都好。見到鄰桌兩位都點蛋牛治，醫生也不甘後人。咖啡是地道大牌檔風味，香港到處咖啡店，找杯靚咖啡不難，但要找經典大牌檔咖啡就不易，再加上熱啡很熱，便知檔主付上心機。蛋牛治近兩吋厚（圖），鹹牛肉也是老味道。若閉上眼睛，醫生彷彿沉浸在七十年代的感覺中。 有人將大牌檔寫成「大排檔」，實則應是「大牌檔」，自一九二一年政府發牌照給流動小販為「小牌」，固定小販為「大牌」，五十年代有牌熟食檔要把這「大牌」放在當眼地方，名字由此而來。但七十年代開始政府因衞生和市容問題不再發牌，持牌人過世後也不能直接傳給後人，從此大牌檔式微，現今全港只有十七個持牌大牌檔，但來港探索的遊客，追尋的就是這份味道與情懷。 陳泗記，加油！香港需要更多用心做美食的大牌檔。 ▲ （專欄作家提供） Source link
