#半熟倫敦 #EP17 #影中城
#聯合副刊專欄 #LondonInFilms
你是否有過這樣的感覺,明明不曾去過的地方卻感到熟悉,好像看過但又說不上來?當我走在倫敦就時常有這樣的經驗,很多時候可能代表我正置身電影場景裡。
倫敦是電影取景的愛好地,許多人對她的想像也是從電影而來,為找尋電影裡的倫敦,我規劃一條路線拜訪那些令人印象深刻的電影拍攝地。從西倫敦出發,首先在諾丁丘的波特貝羅市集(Portobello Market)附近,就是同名電影《新娘百分百》(Notting Hill, 1999)中美國大明星茱莉亞羅勃茲(Julia Roberts)與倫敦書店老闆休葛蘭(Hugh Grant)第一次邂逅的書局。如今依然營業,店內充滿許多電影場景和台詞,二十年沒什麼變,似乎轉個彎就能遇見那個站在男孩面前,請求他愛她的平凡女孩。
往北走一些,麥達維爾地鐵站(Maida Vale)看似不顯眼,走進站裡便會知道這是另部愛情經典《真愛每一天》(About Time, 2013)裡,男女主角常搭的地鐵站,事實上西區一帶都是該片取景處,也包含女主角位於諾丁丘的家。
離開西倫敦後往市區前進,除了《窈窕淑女》(My Fair Lady, 1964)中奧黛麗赫本(Audrey Hepburn)在柯芬園賣花的倩影猶在;就在倫敦國王學院對面,那是《王冠》第四季(The Crown S4, 2020)中黛安娜和卡蜜拉正面交鋒的餐廳;而沿著學校旁的街道,則會走入描述英國考古學家巴索爾·布朗(Basil Brown)的電影《古寶》(The Dig, 2021)中,女主角凱莉·墨里根(Carey Mulligan)拜訪倫敦時途經的小巷。
接著沿泰晤士河往東走到南岸的波羅市場(Borough Market),《BJ單身日記》(Bridget Jones's Diary, 2001)女主角芮妮齊薇格(Renée Zellweger)的公寓就在此,繼續往東則會到達我很喜歡的格林威治(Greenwich)。位於東南郊區,格林威治與市區塵囂彷彿兩個世界,或許因為天文台認識它,但值得影迷拜訪的絕對是舊皇家海軍學院(Old Royal Naval College)。學校建於十九世紀,巴洛克式建築遠眺壯觀,近看充滿細節,也因此是大銀幕寵兒,包含《悲慘世界》(Les Misérables, 2012)裡法國大革命的巴黎街頭、《黑暗騎士:黎明昇起》(The Dark Knight Rises, 2012)中的義大利佛羅倫斯咖啡廳,或最新的《庫伊拉》(Cruella, 2021)等無數電影都在此打造場景,就連拜訪當天也有劇組正在拍攝,取景已成日常。
身為愛電影的人,步行倫敦宛如走入電影場景裡,給人無限驚喜。這座城市以不同樣貌定格於大銀幕上,實際走訪的激動和興奮,或許只有影迷才會理解。居住在這座影中城,自己彷彿也成為那流連忘返的影中人。

There's so much to be said of Cadence Restaurant by Dan Bark , changes so acute should be given the time and attention.
First of all, Cadence is immense. From the origins of their quaint second floor shophouse restaurant they've moved to an almost blank facade building, with multiple faceted rooms; a bar/waiting room, Caper ("casual" dining room), and a design which even accommodates a "desensitising" room which subdues the mood between bar and restaurant. In this darkly lit room they will serve you champagne, surrounded by mirrored walls & candle light reflections before entering the fine dining space.
After idle chit chat and multiple selfies, the curtain is pulled beck to reveal Cadence, the room most vast in size and luxurious with its banquette seating, muted beige and white tiled, open kitchen. We can't help feel we've entered into some black and white vintage movie set, to find a slick haired Carey Grant sitting in the corner smoking a cigar and Audrey Hepburn opposite, swirling a crystal Martini glass. Totally class, absolutely charming and meticulous in detail, if maybe a little too brightly lit and scripted for some.
The opulence of Cadence transcend throughout the meal, with the first bites of Oyster and Caviar. The later, GROUPER and LAND dishes are suitably luxe and fitting with mature fine dining conventions, although the 'American contemporary' title often feels misplaced.
Yet, once the Red Shrimp appeared we rediscovered the taste of the Dan we know. It's combination like watermelon, lemongrass tea & toasted milk which reminds us of an adept skill with respect to fresh ingredients combined with exotic flavours & flair of technique.
The same could be said of the PEA dish of English Peas, Lavender, Creme Fraiche, Prosciutto. Dan manages to bring out vibrancy in dishes that have an uncanny ability to imprint on one's memory palate. I can still taste those peas!
But the 'pièce de résistance' of the entire experience, undoubtedly is the BEEF; Burdock, Kelp, Ssam Jang. It had all the markings of being fine but with the presence of Chef's Korean culture and the quirkiness of a young, cheeky, fun chef. We could truly feel his culinary heart beating in this one.
