As the lead journalist on this 《HK01》 feature profile, I drove the entire production of documenting the emotional final days of a historic, 60-year-old wonton noodle shop in Hong Kong. Working closely alongside our cameraman and photographer on the ground, I conducted the field interviews, crafted the deep-dive feature script, oversaw the film's post-production and editing rhythm, and penned the accompanying feature writing piece. This project captures the raw human motivations of the owners, translating a local culinary closure into a powerful, uncompromising narrative on urban memory and cultural loss. 《傳承香港味道一甲子 巧手雲吞繫一家 土瓜灣蘇記麵食家最後時光》 50年代末,由廣州來港的蘇瑞禎於土瓜灣落山道開設「走鬼」車仔麵檔,賣雲吞、牛腩、豬手等麵食。彼時,蘇瑞禎一心只為養育六名子女,以及傳承製麵、包雲吞、水餃等手藝。或許,蘇瑞禎意想不到的是:蘇記麵食家搬入地舖,交給大姐、二姐和三姐打理,一度開設三間分店。由50年代走到2025年,雲吞麵也從3毫子漲至34元一碗。
如今,三姊妹已過花甲之年,仍手握先父雕刻的工具雲吞挑,每天新鮮製作雲吞。一間舖、一門手藝不僅維繫蘇家後代,還傳承了街坊口中的「香港味道」。今年1月28日蘇記結業,三姐蘇坤惠糾正前來道別的食客—— 蘇記不是「執笠」,是「榮休結業」;不是「痛別」,而是「笑別」。不過,結業當晚她還是紅了眼眶,思緒回到她九歲那年,跟着父親和姊姊在落山道後巷開車仔檔的歲月。
