打从中环嘉咸街的重建计画开始宣布的时候，已经知道这条小街将有变天的一日，市建局需一直与各老店商讨，但最终仍会来个完成拆卸再重建，部份在这街上经营了半个世纪的老店，有些早前已经搬迁或是荣休结业，剩下来的几间店舖，包括开业70多年的新景记，亦需于3月底迁出。香港这个华洋杂处的小岛，早在英国殖民地时代，中环已经是个繁华的地段，嘉咸街及结志街都开满了各式各样的店舖，变成为一个小市集，随著时代的变换及地区发展，小市集将会关闭，待市建局的新市集落成，干湿货店才会搬进去重新开业。但这个计划却不包括饮食业，食店如要继续经营，只能自行寻找合适位置，听来实在可惜，在新闻报导上看到新景记老板的一番肺腑之言，更觉得我们需要把这些见证香港历史变迁的本土老店延续下去。曾经数次光顾这老店，喜欢它古旧不变的装修，墙壁上是上世纪的图案花瓷砖，旧式面店的大圆枱及折櫈，墙上用白油手写的食物项目，最爱的还是枱上放著的不锈纲有盖筷子筒，这个筷子筒已有40年的历史，当年是订造的，物料依然原好，是硕果仅存的珍贵古董呢。店内墙壁上贴著不少过往的介绍报导。每趟来我们总会叫一份【净鱼片】，炸鱼片是这里的名物，一条条的像似金砖条的放在面店门口，只因许多客人会特地来买回家的，小妹亦曾经买来当作火锅材料，朋友们都赞不绝口呢。鱼片的厚薄度恰好，外皮炸至金黄焦脆，鱼片呈现许多细密及大小不一的小洞。入口爽弹鲜味，富点点嚼度感，鱼的鲜味更会从咀嚼中轻轻散发出来，表层的甘香与鱼香相互夹杂著，会令人愈吃愈滋味！再来一碗【牛丸鱼旦河粉】河粉柔滑软香，鱼蛋依旧松软，鱼香味郁郁。内里布满小洞，这是手打鱼蛋及用料上乘的独有特色，肉质弹牙爽鲜，吃起来满有鱼的鲜香味。牛丸质感恰好，入口弹牙，细味中还能尝到牛肉的粗糙与爽劲，牛香自然，我亦甚喜欢。另一碗【牛腩墨鱼丸河粉】这儿虽然以鱼片鱼旦闻名，意料之外牛腩亦做得很出色入味，入口软香之余且充满牛肉的香浓肉味，更没甚肥腻感觉，实在不错。相对地墨鱼丸有点平庸，墨香味不足，丸内亦没有我喜爱的墨鱼碎粒，咬口感只是一般。面店在这条街上努力地经营了超过半个世纪，如今将快结业，又少了一间满载港土本色的老店，实在可惜，寄望它稍后找到合适的舖位后重新经营吧，等著你回来呢！

日前得知新景记因市区重建将于三月底结业，便跟朋友来试其口碑不错的鱼蛋和片头。我点了鱼蛋及片头双拼河，朋友则点了四宝河，另外还要了份炸鱼皮和腐乳生菜。索价17大元的炸鱼皮原来只是小小的一碗，份量跟同区「民园」索价8元的差不多，而且还没有配汤。鱼皮较厚身，质感不太脆，而且调味挺重手，不推荐啊。生菜新鲜，没有灼过头，爽脆恰如其分。双拼河（鱼蛋及片头）$36这家鱼蛋不是很弹牙的那款，反倒比较软身，看到墙上的剪报写著是老板打鱼蛋时不沟粉的缘故。鱼蛋有点胡椒味，也吃到些碎鱼骨，不过鱼味就不太够了。比起鱼蛋我更喜欢片头，同样非弹牙那一派，看著有点像高野豆腐，吃著鱼味比鱼蛋出一点。至于河粉质素只属一般，可试其他粉面。试了个鱼皮饺，质素平平。朋友表示牛丸不错，但墨鱼丸太多粉。另外值得一提的是店家自制的辣椒油，够香够辣，十分滋味。能吃辣的不妨试试，喜欢的亦可买一瓶带回家。想一尝新景记滋味的要抓紧去了，因为走之前跟老板聊了一下，他说现在还没找到适合的铺位，可能此番结业之后就后会无期了。「难避免卷入时代太恐怖」「旋律比我幸运 我的下场没法知」时代巨轮终要残忍辗过，但愿新景记最终能够如愿重开吧。

This small, local noodle shop is located at Gage Street wet market and right opposite to the more famous and touristy Lan Fong Yuen. I ordered their signature dish -- fish ball and fish cake noodles today. I wouldn't say it tastes ohmygodsuperduperawesome but everything does taste good. You could get a taste of authentic, old-school local comfort food here. Their homemade fish balls are all natural. No chemicals. Soft texture rather than bouncy, springy type. Corner sides of fish cakes (片头) are all sold out by the time I visited (around 2:30 pm on Saturday) so I couldn't give it a try. Their homemade chilly sauce is also good but be careful not to put too much in your bowl or else you can't really taste the freshness of their fish bone broth (no MSG). I heard their fish dumplings are also nice! The staff here, unlike your local cha-chan-teng and noodle restaurants, were sooo friendly. Made me feel so warm. You could feel its long history from their ceramic floor and wall tiles -- which I found very classic and beautiful! The price is reasonable given its central location in Central. They were selling a bowl of noodles at $25 two years ago but the urban renewal and construction works in that area have definitely affected their business. Most residents have already moved out of that area. 😔Farewell to Sun King Kee Noodle. It survived the riots in the 60s, financial crisis and SARS... But it can't survive impossibly high rents nowadays. My friend (whose boss is the son of this old restaurant owner) said the family did try to mobilize mass pressure upon the Urban Renewal Authority which once "made a promise on paper that vendors would be allowed to continue their operation" in the area. The old owner and his shop were featured in the government promotion campaign, "HK Our Home" (#bullshit) two years ago and now the government is asking him to pack and go. You still have 10 days if you want to pay a farewell to this soon-to-be-history noodle shop.

难得有同事过到嚟中环开会，于是我地一行人就落左去新景记度食lunch~ 本来我想食筷子记，但老实讲，真系俾佢地啲服务质素同赶客服务吓到怕~ 于是千里迢迢嚟到呢间~门口都系几古旧嘅舖头~里面真系唔可以讲装潢呢样野，因为真系同普通大排档无分别咁滞~ 我地被安排坐左系最前嘅一张圆枱，店员一定好好礼貌，有少少犯贱咁讲，平时去到呢啲舖头，真系会俾啲呀姐闹，无櫈自己去揾，但系呢度啲呀姐揾埋俾你，仲要唔觉意整到你都讲唔好意思，真系有礼貌到我都觉得唔好意思。同事推介呢度呢紫菜，所以二话不说就叫左片头紫菜河，呢度上菜速度真系快到无伦~ 5分钟倒就嚟到~ 试左个紫菜，无甩色，同埋唔系变左紫色，咸咸地，真系推介之作! 至于河粉，我觉得太碎。片头方面，我略嫌太干，如果唔系我都会俾笑笑，可能我唔系食呢度嘅鱼旦，所以总系觉得呢个面差少少。总结系：系中环食饭50蚊内叫平架啦~
