记得那年那个夏天:北海道(10)Yubari夕張& Sapporo札幌

20/7/10 Yubari夕張 → Sapporo札幌

7:00am Breakfast in Hotel Mount Racey at Yubari 夕張. Simple yet colourful dishes made me regain my appetite a little… however this was the 7th buffet meal in this trip… never thought I would be drowned and stuffed by a mountain of awesome food in Hokkaido.

一名老师傅用心为客人煎荷包蛋……看着他的手反复在铁板上重复一样的动作，感受到他的坚持与耐心。每一盘都闪耀着他的精神所在。

Taxidermy near the entrance of the hotel’s buffet restaurant.
活灵活现的动物标本在自助早餐入口处。

早餐后在酒店外走走。这外形像教堂的原来是Tourist information Centre.

This looked like a small house just few steps away from Hotel Mount Racey was actually a food stall complex, hidden with EIGHT local food stalls.

事后才research到原来酒店附近有好料。吃太多自助餐好怀念街边美食，但肚子都塞饱了……

At the exterior of the hotel hung up a few classic old painted movie posters.

8:30am Coal Mine Museum 夕張石碳博物館

One of the huge machine for coal mining was displayed beside “black gold” coal rocks outside the museum.

Obviously I was more attracted to the garden and forest around the museum. 来参观博物馆结果被周围的枫叶吸引过去。

The Museum only operates during the end of April to mid of October.

夕張石碳博物館只是在四月下旬到十月中旬开馆。

在进入时，负责人给我们一人一个工业头盔。准备到地底6层以下探黑金去~
进入电梯……我还以为是动画。结果后来我察觉我们真的在地底6楼……下地狱?!! 不过没有冷气装置却比在地面上凉很多。

搭电梯下去，爬楼梯上来…… 从见天日啦~

这里采矿历史非常仔细，很适合户外教学。我们这群旅客只是来走马看花。

做完碳工，我们往札幌市前进。谢天谢地午餐不是自助餐，不然我可要罢食了~

12:00pm We reached Sapporo city and headed straight to lunch. Thank goodness that this meal was not buffet… It was the famous ramen with special side dishes.

正在等候拉面上桌的当儿，Kenro桑推荐大家到厕所参观。小小的一间厕所……哇~
洗手台要水要用脚踩在底下的机关。
每个人都在厕所待旧一点。只差没有坐在马桶上合照。哈哈~

《---- 桌上的腌制配菜。There were Pickled garnishes on every table.

闻名遐迩的温泉蛋~! Yummy Onsen Egg~!
温泉蛋不是说用泡温泉的蛋而是所谓的糖心蛋。

糖心蛋。做法：
1。先把一锅能盖过蛋的水煮滚。在煮滚前方一点盐。
2。盐水煮滚后，关火。把生蛋缓缓放入热盐水中。放好后，静置30秒再开大火。
3。接着开大火煮5分钟。炉台火力很大的话，开中火也可以。
4。五分钟后立即关火，继续闷两分钟。
5。闷完后就把蛋放进冷水立即冷却，避免蛋黄继续变熟，而且蛋壳也会比较好剥。

Onsen eggs. Method:
1. First boil a pot water with a pinch of salt.
2. Bring the salt water to boil, turn off the heat. Place the eggs slowly into the hot water. Leave eggs still seating in the hot water for 30 seconds and then turn on the stove again in high heat.
3. Simmer for 5 minutes. If the stove fire is very strong, medium fire will be fine as well.
4. After five minutes off the heat immediately and leave it still covered for two minutes untouched.
5. After that transfer the eggs into cold water immediately to avoid getting the yolk too cooked, and also the shell will be better to peel.

2:00pm After the satisfying treat of the local delicacies, we went to another factory visit, the famous Japanese beer “Asahi” brewery. Then 3:30pm followed by shopping spree at Tanukikoji Shopping Arcade 狸小路札幌市中央区。
