    　台北信義計劃區愈來愈香、甜！三二行館投資引進的米其林星級麵包坊「LALOS Bakery」，即日起在台北101購物中心地下1樓試營運，而同屬三二行館引進、由米其林三星主廚Yannick Alleno主持的「STAY」餐廳與甜點店亦將於下月上旬開幕。

    　「廣告狂人」葉兩傳繼引進法國「Paul保羅麵包」與「松露之家」之後，再度拿下「巧克力之神」比利時「Pierre Marcolini巧克力藝術沙龍店」海外首家代理權，位在新光三越A4館2樓的新店也在昨（19）日正式開賣。

    　Pierre Marcolini是當代傳奇性的巧克力天才大師、被喻為「巧克力之神」，除為1991年比利時冰淇淋大師冠軍得主、1995年世界甜點冠軍，亦為2000年歐洲甜點冠軍。

    　歐洲「聖堂教父級」烘焙與巧克力大師主持的品牌相繼入台，除意味台灣飲食國際化程度加深，並為台灣歐式甜點訂立了「價格新基準」，更引爆台北信義區的高檔甜點大戰。

    　「LALOS」麵包坊主人費多雷克．拉洛斯（Frederic Lalos）曾為法國總理御廚，並為法國工藝大師MOF史上最年輕烘焙主廚，去年更拿下全法「最佳烘焙大師」獎項。在大巴黎地區共有13家米其林餐廳指定使用。

    　三二行館投資超過億元在台北101開設「STAY」餐廳，三二行館董事長邱泰翰為找到「對的麵包」，決定再投資5,000萬元引進「LALOS」。

    　位在台北101購物中心地下1樓的「LALOS Bakery」，為占地約37坪、 無座位的麵包烘焙坊，提供品項包括麵包、甜點與輕食，種類超過100種。

    　而位在新光三越信義新天地A4館2F的「Pierre Marcolini巧克力藝術沙龍」則占地70坪，除有巧克力全品項外帶區，並有容納40人座位的空間。

"prejudice" all comes from "the single story" that makes us ignorant !


I'm so impressive that  Chimamanda Adichie was so young, smart and humane, she's inspired me that many works need to done still.


I have to admit that there are many jerks who never have the opportunity to learn what is "open mind" in our society.
