Dolce Vita / 甜蜜人生

這兩天去了知名甜點店奧古斯都的不同分店,2011年用如此甜蜜的方式結束真是不賴,因為自己幸福不夠,我要趕在半小時內台灣時間2011年結束前讓大家分享我的快樂。

I've visited two branch stores of the renowned dessert shops Auguszt over the past two days. It's fantastic to draw an end to year 2011 in such a sweet manner. I do not want to keep all the happiness all to myself, so I want to share it with everyone in half an hour before this year is over.




這是山上的分店,叫Auguszt Pavilion,很有陽明山的感覺。

This is the shop on the hill called Auguszt Pavilion. It feels so much like Yangmingshan.

奧古斯都甜點店始於1870年,已經傳了五代,據說平常高朋滿座,我們傍晚時分去,只有兩位婦人,環境很清幽。

Auguszt was founded in 1870. It has been run by five generations. Carol said that most of the time the cafe is bustling with visitors. When we went in the evening, there were only two ladies. We enjoyed the quiet atmosphere and beautiful view. 


甜點擺滿桌在英國得花上高價,這裡是小意思。

A tableful of desserts would cost a fortune in the UK, but it's totally affordable here. 








卡洛某次回台北特地為我空運這一片蛋糕,這次我親自來布達佩斯吃它。

Carol "imported" this kind of cake for me when she went back to Taipei one year. This time I came to Budapest to savor it in person. 




來布達佩斯旅行對我有很大的影響,我覺得之前在倫敦過得太消極了,回去之後我要趕緊好好利用身邊的資源,因為很快我就要離開。

Traveling to Budapest has had a huge influence on me. I have the feeling that I led a very passive life in London. After returning, I have to make best use of the resources available because I'll leave soon. 




位於Mammut商場旁的奧古斯都總店。

圖中的甜貝果捲是匈牙利聖誕節必吃甜點。

The beigli in the picture is a must-eat for Christmas in Hungary. 








誘人的馬卡龍。

在匈牙利新年要吃豬肉求好運,因為豬往前衝時會先在地面上站穩,所以牠是進步的象徵。我要讓可愛的小粉紅豬蛋糕和大家說新年快樂!我也要感謝我的家人和朋友伴我度過非常燦爛的2011年!

In Hungary, it's a tradition to eat pork on New Year's Day for good luck. Pigs are a symbol of progress because they root themselves in the ground before pushing forward. I'd like to have the cute pink pig cakes say "Happy New Year" to everyone. Also, great thanks to my family and friends for giving me such a fantabulous 2011!
