Swedish
A collection of techniques designed primarily to relax muscles by applying pressure to them against deeper muscle and bone and rubbing in the same direction as the flow of blood returning to the heart. To calm the body and mind, Swedish massage requires a special massage oil, which is also beneficial for smoothing the skin.
 
Shiatsu
Using accupuncture principles, Shiatsu is used to stimulate or sedate the meridian systems of the body and release blocked Qi (aka. Energy). This massage technique was developed in Japan and based on the Chinese medical theory that disease and pain are caused by blocked Qi (energy) along energy pathways in the body. 
 
Deep Tissue
Used to release chronic muscle tension through slower strokes and more direct pressure or friction applied across the grain of the muscles. This invigorating experience is a process of detection of stiff or painful areas by determining the quality and texture of the deeper layers of musculature, and slowly working into the deep layers of muscle tissue.

韓國城的原味泡菜新館 (Mu keun ji)


紐約著名的32街korean-town是世界各地遊客的必到之地。來這裡,你將會感受到韓國美食的精緻和獨有的料理風格。而原味泡菜新館,卻是韓國傳統料理當中的最具原汁原味的一家韓國新餐館。如果你想品嘗100%源自韓國的泡菜和各色菜餚的話,來這裡,絕對你是最佳之選。


原味泡菜新館店內充滿韓國風情,讓你就餐的同時,感受韓國古樸濃鬱的自然美。這家店剛剛開展不到一個月,但是一到用餐時間,這裡幾乎都是火爆。特別這裡的特色菜,泡菜燉豬肉、海鮮火鍋、泡菜餡餅都是大伙的必選菜餚,讓大家回味無窮。


來這裡用餐的遊客和華人也是絡繹不絕,新店開張之際,店主也特別用心得製作了非常適合顧客點菜的菜單,即便你看不懂英文菜單,但只要看見菜單上躍然紙上的菜餚圖片;你也能為親朋好友和自己,選擇最適合自己口味精緻菜品。


原味泡菜新館特別推薦菜式有韓式大醬湯。砂鍋中放入高湯、豆腐、西葫蘆、海鮮等,以大醬作為主要調味劑,煮出濃香的大醬香味即可食用。豆腐柔嫩, 醬香誘人。


如果你邀幾位親朋好友過來,想品嘗韓式海鮮火鍋,這道菜就不能夠錯過了。放眼一看,海鮮火鍋的料理,絕對是精品中的精品,店主選用的都是,最新鮮的海鮮產品,配上店內100%來自韓國的爽口泡菜,絕對讓路過遊客,回味無窮。


炎炎夏日季節,選擇泡菜燉豬肉,是健康首選。店主也推薦女性顧客,在點這道菜的時候,如果選擇添加他們店內的嫩豆腐,會別有一番風味。嫩豆腐湯特別是對女性有很多好處。大豆上有女性荷爾蒙的植物性雌激素, 即叫做異黃酮的成份。它有助於預防發生在更年期或閉經女性的心血管疾病及骨質疏鬆症。在過多分泌雌激素的體內起到阻止雌激素的作用,從而預防乳房癌和卵巢癌, 並且還是保持均衡營養的非常好的食品。目前又證明大豆含有的酪氨酸蛋白激酶抑製劑成份對預防癌症非常有效。把此類大豆做為食材料的嫩豆腐湯上加入含有安基酸和牛黃酸等各種營養素的海物而做的海物嫩豆腐湯現已成為受全世界歡迎的食品。



韓式餡餅最傳統最地道的,要數韓式泡菜餅了!這道煎餅又香又酥,一口咬下去,既有泡菜爽脆香辣的口感,又有鮮蝦的香甜,以及洋蔥略帶辛辣的甜味,口感層次豐富。店主還介紹說,在流感最為盛行的一段時間,據說韓國泡菜還能預防流感,皆因泡菜中富含維生素C,能夠增強人體免疫力。初春流感爆發來臨前,大家不妨多吃些泡菜或泡菜餅,或許真能預防流感的侵襲喲。
