Lifestyle News: 名模 Amanda S. 的法式餅店 petite Amanda

Petite Amanda 內以法國女僕的打扮售餅員和一列 crayola 蠟筆色彩般的蛋糕。

• 還是模特兒的 Amanda S.
• Amanda's Verrine: 美麗但有點悶

• Delice Aux Abricots 適合一些不太喜歡他們的甜點有太多味道和質感的人。
• 每天蛋糕運到店鋪前（11:30 a.m. 和 3:30 p.m. 前）都開始見到人龍。

香港名模 Amanda Strang 位於 IFC 的 petite Amanda 開業了。

• 單單看這前模特兒的名字，已足夠吸引一班耐心的顧客於每天的 11:30 a.m. 和 3:30 p.m. ﹣﹣蛋糕的送貨到達時間﹣﹣在門外靜靜守候著。
• Amanda 放棄了她的模特兒事業，到法國馳名烹飪學校藍帶廚藝學院修讀甜品課程，並於 Carprice、Ladurée 及 Jacques Geninquit 實習。 毫無疑問，她創立了一間很像樣的法式甜品店。
• 可是，這不等於此餅只應天上有。

ANIME Princess Tutu Opening "Morning Grace" & Cantonese Chinese Version 醜小鴨天鵝湖 by 薛凱琪 Fiona Sit

This was one of my favourite anime not long ago, the OST is beautiful.. Partly because it features a lot of the most beautiful pieces of Classical music and incorporates a plot consisting a combination of many well known fairytales. A beautiful touching ending and morale too.
