About the issue of finding a seat in Festival Walk, I think Festival Walk is better than some other shopping mall, it has benches everywhere, although the benches are always occupied by people, sitting for a time. Then I went to food court (named Food Fest)which is located in the top floor. It is not easy to get a seat in Food Fest, unless you have been staying there since the morning. I've never get a seat in there, every time I have my lunch in Food Fest, I need to buy take-away, sat on the auditorium of the skating rink.
延續上上回未完的話題。今天午飯時間,我又走到又一城,相比其他商場,它算是比較人道(這是誇張手法,不要問我Definition of 人道。),長椅到處都有,看得出那並不是一個只叫人走路逛街消消費的場所,亦有顧念一下現今社會人們乏力軟弱的雙腿,但始終呢,長椅的數目不多,而且大都讓公公婆婆佔用。(連公公婆婆對空間也有很大的渴求啊。)我又走到最頂層的Food Fest,我從來沒有坐過Food Fest裡提供的座椅,那根本是不可能的事,除非我從早餐時間開始坐著。我每次到又一城吃午飯,都是坐在下一層,觀看溜冰場的長梯級上的,而那些長梯級,比food court的座椅好,如果12:20下課,能在12:25前去到,應該有得坐。
It makes me think the habit of having meal in Festival Walk, what if a person want to have a meal with a dining table, what if KFC and McDonalds are full of people, what if he doesn't want to leave Festival Walk, what choice will he have? We can take a look of the Dining Guide---
我猜想,這個迷你的food court,究竟想人們吃一頓怎樣的飯?如果一個人希望吃飯時有張飯桌使用的話,他斷不會坐在溜冰場觀眾席上,如果旁邊的KFC和M記都擠滿了人,而同時他又很想很想很想在又一城午膳的話,他最後會選什麼呢?我們可以看看又一城提供的Dining Guide---
For me, Dining Guide doesn't work, I only go to Food Fest when I'm in Festival Walk, and Food Fest is the last one on the Dining Guide, what about others?
又一城的Dining Guide,十分強調其國際多樣性,務求將整個世界擠進這個商場,非常International Style。對於我這種「去又一城食飯 = 去food court」的人是不管用的,Food Fest的介紹在leaflet的最後位置,其他呢,讓我列舉出來:

You may have meal in other restaurants, there are thousands of choices, why don't you go to Rice Paper or EXP? I think that, people are first being besieged in Festival Walk, and then they would feel hungry, but at the same time Food Fest is full of people, then they might move to EXP or somewhere else, since paying $40 in Korea House is similar to pay $70 in EXP.
人家會告訴你,你可是有很多選擇,food court只是Dining Guide的滄海一粟,去Rice Paper不好嗎,去EXP也可以,我覺得那個細到死的food court,是先讓人困在又一城,然後就覺得好肚餓哦,沒位子怎麼辦呢,好啦,就去EXP啦,反正我吃一個韓國屋要40蚊,去EXP埋單都係七十幾……
唔打喇,上堂再講。
(順帶一提,點解leaflet o的 copywriting 質素低到咁樣樣呢,佢咁樣形容「藍納泰」:「藍納泰創造了一個享受非凡的泰式美饌宮殿,讓皇者氣派與高雅氣息共融,令泰菜神髓及創意特色互動。」大量無內容既形容詞,兼且唔係完整句子,都可以出到街,依家連文字都可以挑起消費慾,咩係泰式神髓?互動乜野?共融乜野?我睇完真係棟左響度)
