香港站到站：海怡半島.. 南島地鐵線的最後一站 (scroll down for English)

有一天，我（媽媽）帶著大蕃薯去了海怡半島流動圖書館，發現了一本叫London Block by Block 的書。我真的很喜歡它，並不斷續借，直到圖書館拒絕為止（遺憾的是我沒能讀完）。

然後有一天我想，如果有港版不是很好嗎？這是我們社區的地圖，用來整理我最喜歡的東西。另請參閱下面的步行路線指南。有一天，我在原來的工作場所碰到了一位茶水部的女同事，我問她是否住在這裡。她說：“沒有，我只是從沙田過來度假一日遊！”

另外，如果你還沒猜到（從我大部分貼文的主題來看），我從事傳染病工作，所以現在是冬季高峰winter surge。我不了解你，但我需要一些輕鬆的緩解！

鴨脷洲村市場 - 新鮮的魚和台灣炸雞fried chicken。當我們週六去的時候，大蕃薯一直在吃我所有的炸平菇！

新海怡廣場 - 工廠直銷購物中心（包括連卡佛），非常適合女孩外出遊玩。鬍鬚和爪子Whiskers n paws 餐廳及寵物百貨店 很受我們孩子的歡迎。這是一家很大的寵物店，有一個戶外狗公園。我們喜歡開玩笑說孩子就像小狗。所以我們只是帶他們去那裡和那裡的狗一起發洩（放小蕃薯！）那裡還有一個咖啡店，但遺憾的是沒有小孩適用的高腳椅。

上週末我去的另一個地方是 Woodco，那裡有販售本地製的手工蠟燭。週日有一次樣品銷售，我很高興地品嘗了不同的氣味，試圖從中挑選出一種。本來我正在尋找一種可以緩解感冒(one that might relieve future colds)的香水，但由於他們沒有，所以我選擇了一種氣味濃烈的香水（大多數氣味是果香或花香）。 Woodco 的另一個優點是提供自助添加服務。只要自攜使用過的容器便可以有折扣優惠、保護環境並獲得漂亮的蠟燭！

Tree cafe位於最頂層（28樓），在一家巨大的木製家具店內。如果你能找到一個靠窗的吧台座位，你幾乎可以欣賞到一覽無遺的海景。

店內有一個帶兒童家具的房間，我們喜歡在那裡餵食小蕃薯。那處的兒童肉醬麵非常好吃。 大蕃薯每次都會點，蕃薯媽媽總是情不自禁地偷吃一點。檸檬塔和巧克力軟糖蛋糕也很不錯。牛肉烤寬麵條美味又豐盛。

義大利國際托兒所和幼兒園-義大利沉浸式遊戲小組和學前班。新開的，很大。義大利遊戲小組的師生比例非常低。 小蕃薯非常喜歡它。

海怡廣場西翼有機美容Organic beauty - 臉部護理

海怡半島住客會所 - 點心和中餐，可欣賞海景。隱藏的寶藏：您不需要成為居民就可以在那裡用餐！

步行路線：

1. 義大利國際幼兒園->新海怡廣場

從海怡廣場西翼對面開始，走樓梯或斜坡向下到達海濱長廊，到達位於長廊起點的義大利國際托兒所和幼兒園。步行時，您會看到香港仔、田灣、大大小小的船隻、貨櫃船，有時還有來自南丫島的渡輪。沿途有遊樂場（小蕃薯最喜歡去的地方）。再往前走，就會看到南丫島和釣魚的人。您還可以欣賞日落。

長廊的盡頭連接著一條通往新海怡廣場的道路

成人步行時間：30 分鐘悠閒步伐

與孩子一起：更長！

1. 鴨脷洲村街市 -> 鴨脷洲公園

經過多年的建設，鴨脷洲村街市後面終於建起了電梯，連接到下面的鴨脷洲公園，從那裡你可以輕鬆步行到利東地鐵站（將在以後的帖子中介紹！）鴨脷洲公園的海濱長廊，也是深受孩子們喜愛的遊樂場所。

成人步行時間：10分鐘悠閒步速

與孩子一起：更長！

Hong Kong Stop by Stop:  South Horizons..  Last stop on the South Island MTR line!

The other day, I (Mama) went to South Horizons mobile library with R and spied a book called London Block by Block.  I really liked it and kept renewing it until they wouldn’t let me (sadly I didn’t manage to finish it). 

Then one day I thought, wouldn’t it be nice to have a HK version?  So here is a map of our neighbourhood to organize my favourite things. Also see below for walking route guides.  One day I actually bumped into the tea lady at my old workplace and asked if she lived here.  She said “No, I’m just coming over from Shatin for a holiday day trip!”

Also, in case you haven’t guessed yet (judging by the topics of most of my posts), I work in infectious diseases, so now is the winter surge peak season.  I don’t know about you, but I need some light relief!

Ap Lei Chau Estate market - Fresh fish and Taiwanese fried chicken.  R kept eating all my fried oyster mushrooms when we went on Saturday!

Horizon plaza- Outlet shopping (including Lane Crawford), great for a girls’ day out.  Whiskers n paws is popular with our kids.  It’s a huge pet shop that has an outdoor dog park.  We like to joke that kids are like puppies.  So we just take them there to let off steam together with the dogs there (放蕃薯!)  It also has a café, though sadly no high chairs. 

Another place I checked out this past weekend was Woodco, which sells local handmade candles. There was a sample sale on Sunday and I had fun sniffing different scents trying to pick one out. Originally I was looking for one that might relieve future colds, but since they didn't have any, I settled on a strong-smelling one (most of the scents are fruity or floral). Another nice aspect of Woodco is it's refill service. Save $, the environment and get a pretty candle when you use a pretty container!

Tree cafe is on the very top floor (28/F), inside a huge furniture store.  If you manage to get a window bar seat, you pretty much have an unrestricted sea view.

It has a room with kids furniture, we like to feed our kids there.  Their kid’s Spaghetti Bolognese is very delicious.  R orders it every time & I can never help snaffling some.  The lemon tart and chocolate fudge cake are pretty good too.  The beef lasagna is nice & hearty.       

Italian international nursery and kindergarten- Italian immersion playgroups and preschool.  Newly opened and huge.  Very low student-teacher ratio for the Italian playgroups.  X very much enjoyed it.

Marina Square West Centre Organic beauty- Facials  

South Horizons Residents Clubhouse- Dim sum and chinese food with a seaview.  A hidden gem:  You don’t need to be a resident to dine there!

Walking routes:

1.       Italian international nursery and kindergarten-> Horizon plaza

Start opposite Marina Square West centre, take the stairs or slope down to the seaside promenade to Italian international nursery and kindergarten, which is at the start of the promenade.  As you walk, you will see Aberdeen, Tin Wan, boats (big and small), container ships and sometimes ferries from Lamma Island.  There are playgrounds along the way (a favourite haunt of our kids).  As you walk further, you will see Lamma island and people fishing.  You can also catch the sunset.

The end of the promenade connects to a road which leads to Horizon plaza

Adult walking time:  30 minutes leisurely pace

With kids:  Longer!

2.      Ap Lei Chau Estate market -> Ap Lei Chau park

After years of construction, a lift has finally been constructed behind Ap Lei Chau Estate market, linking it to Ap Lei Chau park below, where you can easily walk to Lei Tung MTR station (to be covered in a future post!)  There is a waterfront promenade in Ap Lei Chau park, which is also a hit with the kids and also playgrounds.

Adult walking time: 10 minutes leisurely pace

With kids:  Longer!
