¡@Eating out is one of the most common sources of entertainment in Hong Kong. Lily and Sharon seldom cook proper meals at home because they dislike washing dishes. Pizza, spaghetti and fish ball noodles are always on top of their list. One day, they were looking for something different and exciting to do for their friend¡¦s birthday. Lily came up with the idea of hosting a surprise party. Sharon found this idea fabulous but she had no experience in organising a birthday party at home. Lily suggested having a party theme which could help make shopping easier. Sharon was worried about finding a suitable venue too. While they were discussing their plans, they walked past a French grocery store called ÒMonsieur Chatte? Sharon found the food sold in that shop very interesting and decided to take a closer look.

¡@Caroline, the owner of this store, greeted Lily and Sharon.

¡@Caroline: Hello, may I help you?

¡@§A­Ì¦n¡A¦³¬Æ»ò§Ú¥i¥HÀ°¦£¡H

¡@Lily: Yes. Can you suggest some ideas for a birthday party?

¡@§A¥i¥Hµ¹§Ú­Ì¤@¨Ç¦³Ãö¥Í¤é¬£¹ïªº«Øij¶Ü¡H

¡@Caroline: Sure! We are selling French food and beverages. In France, we eat a lot of cheese. Do you and your friends like cheese?

¡@Caroline: This is comte and this is camembert. Would you like to try?

¡@³o¬Ocomte¡A³o¬Ocamembert¡C§A­Ì·Q¸Õ¸Õ¶Ü¡H

¡@Lily and Sharon: Yes. Thank you.

¡@This was the first time they had ever tried French cheese. Caroline explained to them that cheese and wine were central elements of the French diet and there were around 400 sorts of Cheese in France. Lily and Sharon had the impression that French food and drinks were very expensive. That¡¦s why Sharon decided to ask for the price of the cheese she liked before buying. She was happy to know that they were affordable.

¡@Sharon: I like this one. How much is it?

¡@§Ú³ßÅw³oºØ¡A­n¦h¤Ö¿ú©O¡H

¡@Caroline: $52 per 100 grams.

¡@¨C100§J52¤¸¡C

¡@Lily was curious to know more about the sausages hanging in the shop.

¡@Lily: Caroline, what are these?

¡@Caroline, ³o¬O¬Æ»ò¡H

¡@Caroline: They are French sausages, ¡§sacisson¡¨ in French. You can cut them into pieces.

¡@³o¬Oªk°ê­»¸z¡A§A¥i¥H§â¥¦­Ì¤Á¦¨¤p¶ô¦Y¡C

¡@Sharon told Caroline that Chinese people also had preserved food and was surprised to note the similarities in French and Chinese cooking philosophies. Sharon found some small cakes in the shop and asked Caroline for more information.

¡@Sharon: Excuse me, Caroline, they look very cute, what are they?

¡@Caroline¡A½Ð°Ý³o¬O¬Æ»ò¡H¼Ë¤l«Ü¥i·R°Ú¡I

¡@Caroline: Oh! These are ÒCannelŽÓ. They are little cookies from a region in France called ÒBordeaux?

¡@³á¡I³o¬O¡uCannelŽ¡v¡A¨Ó¦Ûªk°ê¤@­Ó¦W¬°¡uBordeaux¡vªº¦a°Ï¡C

¡@Lily: We want 10 of them. How much do they cost?

¡@§Ú·Q­n10¥ó¡A¤@¦@­n¦h¤Ö¿ú©O¡H

¡@Caroline: It costs $12 each. The total is $120. Let's go up to the second floor, we have French wines up there.

¡@Lily and Sharon followed Caroline to the second floor.

¡@Lily: Oh! The setting is very stylish!

¡@After their visit to this French grocery store, Lily and Sharon find experiencing the food and drinks of a country being the best way to understand its culture. Although there are fundamental differences between Chinese and French food culture, it¡¦s not a bad idea to have something different occasionally!¡@¡½Lily Poon
