Finally gotten around to try here again 2 weeks ago.

**************
綠靈火 Cake -
This cake is advertised to be of mainly Green Apple taste, unfortunately wasn't detectable at all. Most parts of the cake is also too dense. The 'caramelised' marshmallow bits were surprisingly too soft. 6/10

Cappucino -
The cake disappointed - but the coffee I ordered did not!

My last Espresso was ok to good, slightly too thin and the blend wasn't entirely Espresso orientated. The cappucino I got however was above-average. Mainly of a chocolatey flavour with hints of hazelnut, it was slightly overly-roasty and singular dimensional. Yet, this was made very well by the Barista technique wise. The finish lasts approximately 2-3 seconds.

For some reason it reminds me of Cafe Corridor's coffee, if you gave them to me 'blind-folded' I wouldn't be able to tell the difference, except Corridor's is slightly more bitter on average. Believe it or not, Bonfire's version tastes closer to Cafe Corridor, than Coffee Assembly is to Corridor (despite using the exact blend) if Felix isn't there! Probably a machine set up and barista issue. 7 /10

****************
SUMMARY - A Great Barista makes your coffee here, in fact it surprised me that its better than more professional shop. The cake was a slight letdown, the coffee blend was ho-hum. Service was top notch, really friendly.
Signature Cake was bit Firm and Dry!

出面風大雨大, 又要研究旅行事宜, 嚟呢度坐吓飲杯嘢吧.

飲晒成杯後, 奶泡亦有點「掛杯」, 手勢唔錯呢


唔飲咖啡的朋友叫了 iced chocolate milk ($32), 色水唔多吸引, 問佢好唔好飲佢就只 shrug 一 shrug, 睇怕...

仲有一份 mini 的蛋沙津 pita pockets ($22) share 食 -- 第一次食 pita, 幾鬆軟又帶點麵粉香, 有點似 naan bread, 幾喜歡... 唔知用嚟襯 falafel 效果又如何? 餡料就有 egg mayo, 青瓜, 蕃茄及生菜, 味道無乜特別, 但 egg mayo 分佈太唔平均了, 我嗰半得好少, 朋友嗰半就多到跌晒出來 -_-"

星期日下午幾多人, 坐唔到梳化椅了, 不過近門口的 rocking chairs 都幾舒服


下次嚟再飲花茶吧.

I keep telling myself I need to come back to try their signature cakes and more siphoned and/or milk or black coffees, before reviewing here - but I've waited a long time for that opportunity and it hasn't materialised still, so this short review will do tonight until I visit again!


靈火咖啡園 is operated and owned by a Catholic Church affiliated group, kind of similar to United Cafe Bistro in Jordan - both boast of doing pretty good coffees too, I even wondered if they're related
.

My House Blend Espresso was served Al Vetro style: in a slightly pre-warmed Glass, rather than the normal ceramic demitasse. It was pleasant with hints of grassy or dry hay aroma, backed by a savouriness which reminds me of oily animal fur... Little bitterness was detected. A thinnish body, lightish colour Crema and the tell-tale sign of slight tangy/acidic finish at the tongue reminds me - this pour still can improve with a slight adjustment to 'extraction' time, it needs to be slowed down just a little!
My Espresso is worth around a '3' to '4' range.

Coffees Beans are locally sourced and roasted.
Comfortable Environment!

本來想去馬獅道食糯米飯,但點知無開............改來呢度,aug 20, 09,2人嚟食light dinner, 叫咗 :

1) 西柚汁 (hk$20)

2) 水 (hk$12)

3) 綠靈火 (hk$28)
-因為全間餐廳嗰晚得2個人煮,而且速度比較慢
-所以先叫住個signature甜品食吓先
-面頭嘅棉花糖燒過後,焦焦地,幾特別
-mousse部份唔夠軟,有少少實咗同膠性重咗d
-味道其實喺青蘋果+wasabi..........wasabi只喺好微弱,友人就嫌佢混出嚟嘅味道怪怪哋..........我就覺得ok嘅
-本來食佢其他嘅甜品,但試過呢個之後,我都退步了

4) 靈火特式沙律 - 細 (hk$30)
-收銀問我有蘋果同南瓜揀..........我揀咗蘋果
-裡面有西芹粒,通粉,蘋果粒,黑胡椒粒,雞肉粒等
-明顯喺有單先+醬去撈.........呢點有heart
-味道主要食其原味因個沙律醬都無嘜味
-幸好出嚟嘅效果也不錯

5) 煙肉pizza (hk$42)
-呢個嘅麵包底明顯焗過時,所以抽走咗水份,令到佢又唔喺脆,但乾,入口感覺不好
-上面舖嘅配料就無問題,茄膏亦算多

* 店內個setting...........舒服

* 不過味道只喺屋企level.........未到餐廳水平(味道+上菜速度)..........希望佢可以努力改進

* 收費亦幾貴吓~~

本身無宗教信仰, 但偏偏對呢間 Christian 咖啡店好有興趣, 呢日到跑馬地「下場」前嚟飲杯咖啡食 d 嘢.

主食係「是日晚餐」之一的肉醬意粉 ($45): 一睇就知 overcooked, 食落亦然, 肉醬味道就幾現成, 而且太酸嗆, 當茶記意粉食吧.

熱 house coffee ($24) 好香, 就咁飲係好濃, 苦而不澀, 飲完個口唔會有酸味; 落奶及糖飲後, 味道就較「平易近人」, 質地滑, 幾好飲
不過「咖啡因效應」係超勁, 搞到成晚瞓唔著 -_-"

咖啡不錯, 白雪雪靜靜的環境就比咖啡更值得推介,「好 hea 度」絕對滿分; 店員們亦友善有禮, 感覺良好.

邊飲咖啡邊睇吓書, 離開時真係唔捨得走
見 menu 咖啡以外, 仲有花茶供應, 搵日下午帶埋朋友來都好.

P.S. 4 分係俾咖啡的, 意粉其實唔多掂...

$28一個…像西餅般大的小蛋糕…一點也不便宜…~用叉一拮…有點兒實…放進口裡呢…不是我喜歡的texture…因為比起布甸還要硬…不像慕絲…毫無軟滑質感…~wasabi味不重…食得到淡淡的青蘋果味…~帶少許酸…

這個蛋糕恕我不懂欣賞…不過這裡的裝修…格調…還有一張張聖經金句的小咭片…都讓人有很感到很平和…如果要在銅鑼灣找一家cafe坐一下喝點咖啡的話…這裡也是一個不錯的選擇..~

知道這間新開咖啡店的存在,找了一天準時下班來喝一杯才回家吃飯,此店的名字為靈火,究竟用咁靈的火煲的咖啡會否好喝一點的呢?

大概是下午六時多,店內只有小貓三四隻,甫進店,冷氣夠,裝修簡而清,而且放有一些益智的遊戲、棋及書本等,讓客人邊嘆咖啡,邊有事做。

此店的食品最便宜的也要二十多元,要件蛋糕也要上廿八元,價錢上簡直比得起一些較有名氣的餅店,另外喝的有花茶、奶類、巧克力及咖啡,動輒也要三十元,絕對是走中高檔咖啡店。說回最重要的咖啡,主要分成兩種咖啡,一種是以不同的咖啡豆以虹吸壺形式煮出來的,UCC的炭燒咖啡也是如此;而另一種是以Espresso為基礎,再調配成不同的咖啡,如Latte、Cappuccino及Mocha等,說也奇怪,此類別的咖啡相對於上述的另一種,是便宜上很多的,何解呢?平日的我,必定會喝Double Espresso的,今天見有招牌式的靈火咖啡,貴一點也試一試。

以虹吸壺形式煮出來的咖啡,其賣點是其咖啡豆是可自已選擇的,可以要最貴的藍山,也可以簡簡單單來個巴西的,而我選的靈火咖啡,問店員是從何而來,她只重覆強調是自家溝的,究竟她是不知道,還是不肯講呢?以我在Crema喝咖啡的經驗,店東是大方的告訴我咖啡豆的來源地。在問准可以拍攝煲咖啡後,也拍下其過程,最有趣的是咖啡師在水滾後,會用滴斗計時,以準確的控制時間。

也是不消一會,也有得喝了,除了一杯黑咖啡外,也送上一包咖啡粗粒黃糖及一小杯帶有微溫的奶,送上的奶其實是來自澳洲的Avoset Coffee Cream,本身有點甜,也是很香滑的,而我喝咖啡當然也較喜歡喝黑咖啡,在喝之前,以匙羹呷了一口作Spoon Tasting,同時用力用鼻子猛嗅,香味不算太強,味道也不太濃郁,而且隱含一點微酸,心想可能咖啡豆是用水洗的形式來製造吧!但喝起來也舒服,喝了大半杯後,轉而加了點糖及奶,再喝一口,可能奶的存在中和了咖啡內的酸,喝起來又滑又舒服,而咖啡味也能隱隱的滲出來,也是對版的。

坦白說,咖啡是不錯,但其虹吸壺形式煮法並不是什麼賣點,因為UCC賣的也是這一套,而且咖啡的質素不比這兒差,所以以這個價錢來說,抵不抵喝,真的見人見智,可能環境舒服是一個值得付多一點的原因吧。

由於今天未喝過咖啡,這一杯遲來的咖啡,正好為我稍為止住了強大的咖啡癮,又是回家吃飯的時候了。

為了寫第一篇食評,這幾天一直留意著這間店

首先,我很喜歡咖啡. 每天也要喝一杯

為了這個習慣/嗜好;我也花了很多時間找尋有售有質素的咖啡豆供應商. 記得那天很悠閒地和賣咖啡豆的人在閒談.我們討論到為何咖啡在香港就是不怎樣地普及起來.

我說,比上不足;比下有餘啦......

她認為皆因香港人總是在忙;而對於咖啡的享受是很花時間和心機的.

的確,靜下來,想一想;也覺得她很有道理.

喝一杯咖啡所需的心機真的不少;特別是在家享受那種.

今天是靈火咖啡園的開幕,這裏的咖啡又如何呢?

我特別地走到"水吧"細心地看咖啡司的泡咖啡功夫.

先說他們採用的工具 - 是日本的紅吸. 這種方法是最能耐咖啡的精華細膩地抽出的.

再說一杯咖啡的靈魂 - 咖啡豆

那不得不說它們的招牌咖啡 - 靈火咖啡
那是一種以"混合豆"的方法而製成. 雖則我不太記得是什麼配什麼,只記得大概是七/三比例(因我是偷偷聽那些咖啡司製作時講的.

愛好咖啡的人都知,咖啡豆有些偏酸;有些卻偏苦;所以混合的咖啡是很用心的咖啡煮法!

最近這裏新開張,這杯靈火咖啡還有買一送一添. 像我這樣的人,可以一次飲2杯呢~ 不過,下次我卻想約朋友來聚聚.由於這個地點的原因,它的優點是 - 旺中帶靜. 我很喜歡,特別是和朋友在這裏傾偈更好.

這天也試了其他的小食,如沙律,蛋糕;亦飲左它們的果汁. 最欣賞的是 - 菠蘿冰! 可能同最近的天氣有關. 菠蘿冰不會太甜,很清,我好鐘意.

買咖啡記得攞張靈火紀念咭;就好似外國人的lucky cookies一樣.看看你會收到什麼信息.

這裏環境舒適,清新;食物和咖啡都很有質素.
