日安時刻
How long does it take to grab a lunch at cha chaan teng in Central? The whole purchase process takes only 2 min. Lunch is always "problematic" to the workers in the Central and Western District. Tens of thousands of them constitute the epic lunchtime crowd. Lunch hour is a valuable mid-day window for a short break. Because of job nature, most people devour the content hurriedly. The exhibition looks at how the Central district’s one-of-a-kind lunch scene forges unique social connections. Observing the district’s diverse network of gastronomical icons, Let’s Do Lunch presents an authentic lunch experience with tastings of culture, language and habits.
You may struggle among the inflatable dolls to find your way to lunch. You can "dress" up and enjoy a delicate executive lunch; pay a visit to different fraternity associations to get a taste of authentic regional cuisine; and meet the people who make company lunch great. The exhibition design incorporates different lunch scene and offers an exclusive "lunch experience" at Tai Kwun. Besides, at the upper level of Duplex Studio, we have furniture designed for people with different needs and preferences. You can spend time there to enjoy reading, to have some "me" time, or have a nice lunch with your loved ones. The Design Team hopes to connect different people through the design and, at the same time, pay respect to one’s autonomy in making choices according to intrinsic needs

民以食為天，工作再忙，也可捉緊午飯時間，稍息片刻。繼「圓動力」後，大館文物事務部推出「中環日常」系列第二部曲「日安時刻」，與大家發掘關於社區的午餐文化，尋找相關的連繫，細說中環人工作以外的生活故事。
中環因環境地利，在歷史演進過程中造就繁盛的社區面貌，「飲食」這一主題更穿梭其中，每逢午飯時分，眾人馬上各適其適、各就其位，蔚為奇觀。中環的飲食文化從符號、特色到記憶，均光譜遼闊，構成這個城巿獨特的生活印記。
是次展覽透過展示不同的飲食文化，例如商會的鄉里飲食文化、包伙食、商務午餐及快餐，探討其源頭與變遷，拼湊成特別的午餐氛圍，讓大家在展覽中一嚐不同文化、語境和習慣交雜的味道，經歷豐富的「食晏」體驗。
「日安時刻」細看中環餐桌眾生相，從最日常最體己的時刻，抽取珍貴人情，拼貼出中環的文化圖像。老板與員工每天各自奔忙，在繁瑣的日程下，以午餐療飢也好，解饞也罷，總要抽出時間一同舉箸，然後各自歸位，照常營業直至打烊，繼續造就繁華的商業社會面貌。而當中不同的「食晏」選擇喜好，也成就了中環這片食肆林立的不朽「飢」地。
