麻将 Mahjong

据说,戳麻将能减低·患上老人痴呆症的风险。一边洗牌,一边聊天,既能运动四肢,亦能与他人互动,还要不时的记住自己的底牌,以防吃胡。这种不需太过耗力,但却有多种好处的嗜好,对年长者来说,确实难得。

前个星期,吃了晚餐后,到了一间以麻将为主题的甜点餐馆吃甜品。

点了几样甜品,物美价廉,相当可口。


Mahjong is an excellent game for elderly.

Apparently, it can stave off dementia. It is also a good way to work out stiff joints (when players of the game shuffle the Mahjong tiles).

Both the mind and body joints (specifically the upper limbs) are engaged actively in the game.

My father and father-in-law were good in Mahjong games in their younger days. But both my wife and I were novice in this game. CK and some of his fellow classmates are diehard fans of the game. They even have Mahjong set in Melbourne!

We visited a Mahjong-themed dessert restaurant a few weeks ago, when CY and Kevin were back in Singapore. It was a small boutique restaurant/cafe. But the desserts were delicious and reasonably priced. Definitely worth a visit!
