I did not want to walk too long in the chilly winter evening, went back to my hotel through the Victoria street. There are quite a few East Asian restaurants in the Victoria street. I was delighted.
冬寒料峭，手足冰凉。不愿在外面多作停留，从维多利亚大街走回旅馆。维多利亚大街上有不少东亚食肆。觉得十分亲切。
The Victoria street has just experienced some large-scale modernization in the recent years. A large part of the street is in a contemporary architectural style. However I found such a red telephone booth in a side street. Oh nostalgic and surreal!
维多利亚大街近年经历轰轰烈烈的升级改造，街上的新建筑风格大多是现代前卫的玻璃外墙，有不规则却简洁的几何空间造型。街旁的一条岔道上还有这样一间红色的电话亭。感觉瞬间穿越时光隧道，又仿佛是电影里的布景。 电话亭对面是一间德国餐厅 “慕尼黑板球俱乐部”。

There is a Chinese restaurant "Grand Imperial" in this building. They serve Cantonese dishes, also dishes of Shanghai style. The interior of this Chinese restaurant is very elegant, as well as the dress and manner of the staff. A very decent place.
旅馆的一楼，是一间名为 “喜粤” 的中餐馆，英文名 Grand Imperial。主营广东菜，也有上海菜。员工大多是中国人，能讲纯正广东话，普通话和上海话。
