金鐘統一中心的名都酒樓9月27日最後營業，完成其35年的旅程。倒數最後3天，不少食客特意到訪，回味這煙火中的人間滋味。點心車、爭蝦蛟燒賣將成絕唱。
「蝦蛟、燒賣、腸粉，埋嚟睇吖。」這叫賣聲，是幾代港人的集體記憶。點心車承載的，不只是蝦餃燒賣，更是那些買少見少的傳統手藝。而無數家庭爭先排隊、挑選點心的熱鬧情趣，也將成為歷史。
名都酒樓這座三萬呎的粵菜殿堂，最高峰可以延開百席，見證過千百場人生宴會。歡笑、祝賀、團圓，都在水滾茶靚的煙火氣中定格。點心與經典粵菜，也曾接待過來自世界的遊客，為這座城市，慶祝過無數珍貴時刻。
「光榮結業」四個字背後，是滿滿的無奈與不捨。
那蒸騰的點心煙火、那排隊爭點的熱鬧、那杯滾熱的濃茶。這些回憶，就像點心紙上的印章，將銘記食客心中。
燈，熄後。
但蒸籠掀開的煙火，與車輪的軌跡，會成為温熱的回憶。
Farewell, The Metropol An Ode to the Taste of an Era
The Metropol, the massive banquet hall at United Centre in Admiralty will serve its last meal on September 27th, concluding a 35-year journey. With just three days left, many regulars are making special visits to savor, one last time, the familiar comforts held within its bustling atmosphere. The dim sum trolleys, the cheerful scramble for Har Gow and Siu Mai—soon, these will fade into memory.
”Har Gow, Siu Mai, Cheong Fun… come and take a look!“
That call, echoing through the hall, is part of a collective memory shared by generations of Hong Kongers. The trolleys carried more than just steamed dumplings and buns; they carried fading traditions, crafts rarely seen today. And the lively joy of families lining up, choosing their favorite dishes straight from those carts—that, too, will become history.
The lights will go out.
But the mist from lifted lids, the tracks of trolleys—they will linger, as warmth held close, long after the last dish is served.
