FROM FARM TO TABLE
01
從前耕田的年代，大家都叫她做「菠蘿婆婆」。菠蘿婆婆二十多歲嫁入大嶼山，一生與丈夫務農，種大樹菠蘿、奶蕉，一種就六十多年。原來大嶼山通往大佛的第一條馬路，菠蘿伯伯都有份建㗎！現在菠蘿婆婆已搬到市區與兒子同住，她還養了三隻狗！
In the old farming days, everyone called her "Grandma Pineapple". In her twenties, she got married and moved into Lantau Island, and since then, farmed with her husband for over 60 years. They used to grow jackfruit and dwarf bananas. Grandpa Pineapple even helped built the first road leading to the Big Buddha on Lantau Island! Currently, Grandma Pineapple has moved downtown to live with her son. She also has three dogs!

她在福建出生，那時在鄉下耕田。家人會拖着水牛把泥翻鬆，她就跟着在後面插秧。
Born in Fujian, China, she used to farm in her home village. Her family would plough with the help of water buffaloes while she followed from behind and transplanted rice seedlings.
03
年輕時在鄉下生活，她插秧、種禾、種番薯，餐餐米飯加番薯。她沒有特別愛做的事情，沒有特別想去的地方，也沒有運動的習慣，每日主要的活動是看電視。最重要的事情就是「吃」，甚麼都吃， 特別是水果。
When she was young and living in the village, she would transplant rice seedlings, and grow grains and sweet potatoes. She had rice with sweet potatoes every meal. Nowadays, she has no favourite activities or places. she wants to go, and she does not exercise. Watching television is her main activity every day. To her, eating is the most important thing in life. She likes to eat all kinds of food, especially fruit.

開心姊妹花最愛（以前）坐電車（叮叮）去街市買餸 。 （不停重複）開心姐姐最愛的食物是士多啤梨因為士多啤梨是紅色，很美；以前去街市買餸，還會買花給家人，如爸爸媽媽愛富貴竹、妹妹喜歡菊花，「𠱁下大家（開心）」。 兩姊妹還會一起吃蛋撻呢！
The happy sisters loved taking the tram to the street market in the old days. The elder sister’s favourite food is strawberry since it is red and beautiful. She used to buy flowers for her family when she visited the street market - lucky bamboo for her parents and chrysanthemums for her younger sister. “Just to cheer them up!” she said. The happy sisters would have egg tarts together sometimes!
05
以前日日忙「湊仔」，現在最緊要的事情是「食」 ！她喜歡圓轆轆的食物，如湯圓、蛋撻、點心蒸籠、雞蛋仔（她說：「記得圓形的食物要放在一起。」），還有雞！燒雞、鳳爪都好正。
In the past, she used to be occupied taking care of her children. Now, her top priority is food! She loves round food, including tang yuan (glutinous rice dumplings), egg tarts, dim sum, egg waffles... (“Remember to place the round food altogether,” she added.) Also, chicken! To her, both roast chicken and chicken feet are fantastic!

今晚食乜餸？
好豐富㗎。有老少平安、腐乳蒸矮瓜（茄子）、清蒸鯪魚，飯後果是西瓜。她不識字，但個性精靈，眼力好，愛烹飪，又懂得分辨哪棵水仙最香。問香港哪種交通工具最好？她說：當然首選電車，理由一個字：平！（ 坐地鐵都好，出入口方便。）
“What are we going to have for dinner?”
“Plenty! Steamed tofu with fish paste, steamed eggplant with fermented tofu, and steamed mud carp. After dinner, we’ll have watermelon.”
She cannot read but she has an energetic character, good eyesight, and she loves cooking. She can also tell which Chinese sacred lilies smells the best!
“What’s your favourite means of transport in Hong Kong?”
“The tram, of course! Just for one reason. It’s cheap!” (“The MTR is good too because the exits are conveniently located.”)

The old couple’s favourite food is Chinese roast pork Even though it seems that the doctor once advised them to avoid it, but …but they don’t really care! Steamed eggplant is actually nice, too.
10
鯇魚要點蒸呀?
她答：「首先一定，記緊是一定要買前半！（魚的前半身） 點解？前半無骨（多肉）嘛。
買回家刮好魚鱗，先在魚身切幾刀，鹽醃，再加薑絲和冬菇絲，然後蒸十五分鐘。」
“How to steam a grass carp?”
“First and foremost, buy the front half of the fish!”
“Why?”
“The front half has no bones and more meat.”
“When you bring it home, remove the fish scales, make a few cuts on the fish body, and marinate with salt. Then, place strips of ginger and shiitake mushroom on top and steam it for 15 minutes.”
