The food were simple in those days. Lots of small eatout shop for wonton noodles, beef stew noodles, Russian borsch and mix grills. There were good places for afternoon tea such as the Peak restaurant, Shatin cafe and Repulse Bay Hotel. Those who love to dance could go to Bayside nightclub, Hilton Hotel's Birds Nest and Peninsula Hotel's Godown disco.
Those were the golden days, young people worried the most was the term exams, the most troublesome was their relationship problems. It was not that all good, the riots in 1967 scared a hell a lot of people. The young people suddenly all grew up, no longer lived in a dream, but had to think for the future. Soon after, someone left for England to study, someone left to Australia to work, someone immigrated to US, and someone choose to stay in Hong Kong. They all went their separate way. The sixties had ended, while Hong Kong had embarked on another stage…
吃得也簡單, 小店裡的雲吞麵牛腩粉, 茶餐廳的羅宋湯什扒, 下午茶的好去處是山頂餐廳, 沙田茶座和淺水灣酒店, 愛跳舞的有碧瑤夜總會,希爾頓酒店雀巢和半島酒店地牢。
那段令人懷念的流金歲月, 年青人最擔心的是會考, 最煩惱的是感情問題, 也不是全是美好日子的, 六七年暴動嚇怕很多人, 年輕人一下子成長, 不能長此活在夢裡, 也要為將來前途打算, 不久之後, 有人去英國留學, 有人去澳洲就業, 有人移民美國, 有人留守香港, 從以風流雲散, 結束了六十年代, 而香港也踏上另一個階段…
