六公館故事
六十年代香港經濟起飛,當時流傳著一軼事。般咸道延綿洋房中,一所雅緻書房,平日無人,週末卻總滿室芬芳,樂韻悠揚,文人雅士紛紛趕至。而其主人公卻不是一人,而是六位來至五湖四海的名流紳士。
一位留學歸來、一位是洋行老闆、一位生產鐘錶、一位造船、一位出口成衣、又有一位是書院老師。雖然背景迥異、卻都是名門之後,自然對珍饈美饌各有體會。於是這個本來為了能聚首一堂,無所不談的雅集,就更加成為了六位主人公交流生活品味的地方。
粵、滬、閩、杭、蜀、京六味共冶一爐,雨前龍井、新會陳皮、舶來美酒常年豐足。後來這所私人書房就被人稱為六公館,外人無不想窺探內裡風光。
今天立於尖沙咀海旁的六公館,是以當年般咸道六公館為藍本,以現代食材重現當年只有少數人能品嚐的精緻菜色。
THE STORY
In regards to the economic growth of 1960s Hong Kong, there was an anecdote about Bonham Road where there were many beautiful houses. The socialites liked to unwind in an exclusive venue at Bonham Road during weekends.
There was an overseas student who had just returned from his studies abroad, a businessman of a watch company, a banker, a shipbuilding expert and a college professor. Although they came from various backgrounds, they were well educated and they had savored different delicacies. Therefore, this venue became a spot of sharing experiences and enjoying life.
With the lifestyle inspired by various provinces like Guangdong, Shanghai, Fujian, Hangzhou, Sichuan, and Beijing, there were always quality teas and fine wines available. People named this venue HEXA, and everyone wanted to have a peep into this exclusive venue.
HEXA is located at Tsim Sha Tsui alongside Victoria Harbor nowadays. Based on the concept of the past, it strives to recreate the old Hong Kong vibes with fresh ingredients.
