Green Bean Dessert
Green beans with herbal rue 芸香 ( 香草、臭草 ) is a popular dessert for southern Chinese. Herbal rue smells good from a distance, but may be awkward when getting close for some people. Therefore its chinese name contains both good and bad smell. Herbal rue can also be used to drive mosquitos and small inserts away because of its smell. No matter you use rue from markets or your own pot, pick the ones with fragrance, without the fragrance, they don't achieve their purpose.
Green beans herbal rue is particularly welcome in the summer as it helps dissipate your body heat.

Central Harbour Front at night

我不是戲行中人,也沒有看過多少齣戲,我基本上不懂看五線譜,分辨不到音調。粵曲裡的五音六律,我從未接觸過,對曲目詞牌也認識不多。我對戲曲的認識也只限於曲辭,旋律和故事。年少時聽的是港人熟識的'帝女花' 和'鳳閣恩仇未了情'。我對粵曲的愛好源自對曲...

娼妓可以說是最古老的行業之一,自古有之。王書奴的《中國娼妓史》認為中國娼妓起源於殷商。在中國唐宋兩代,更有不少詩詞對六朝金粉,秦淮風月作一 定的記述。詩詞家 杜牧、李商隱、溫庭筠,柳永,周邦彥等等,他們的作品都善敘秦淮風月。甚至乎平素道貌的文人,在詩詞中,也偶爾作楚館秦樓之唱...
