百轉千迴，餘韻悠長
2011-03-05 148 views
記得小時候，媽媽常叮囑我們不要吃糖果，因為她的育幼觀念，總是將糖果甜食跟痰多咳嗽，預設成因果關係。那時候只有農曆新年，才能乘爸媽與來訪親戚閒話家常之際，偷偷將全盒中的拖肥糖和朱古力，放進衣服的口袋裡，再閃躲到衣櫃旁的暗角，享受那難得的美味。到現在有能力自己買朱古力來吃了，有時候看見這種童年的奢侈品時，總有一些偷吃的片段，浮現於腦海之中。一直都愛著那甜甜醇醇的可可香味，近年更迷上了朱古力熱飲。知道置地廣場地庫開了一家新咖啡店，於是乘星期五下班之便，到此新店一試這裡的朱古力熱飲。其實Fuel Espresso只是一家小型咖啡專賣店，位處地庫盡頭一隅，Gucci店的對面。雖然此店的面積，只有一個百貨公司專櫃般大小，但是店外卻有許多高腳吧檯椅，可供客人買咖啡後坐下來慢慢享用。二話不說要了一杯7安士的朱古力熱飲($36)，不過想來點伴飲甜食的話就有點難度，因為這裡只有三數款糕餅，好不容易才決定要一塊藍莓鬆餅($18)。就朱古力熱飲而言，單從外觀已見面層那幼滑而細密的奶泡。舉匙舀之，瞥見厚厚奶泡層下，有著充滿光澤的熱朱古力。據了解，如果熱朱古力色澤光潤的話，就是因為朱古力的可可油分高，也是由於可可

 二話不說要了一杯7安士的朱古力熱飲($36)，不過想來點伴飲甜食的話就有點難度，因為這裡只有三數款糕餅，好不容易才決定要一塊藍莓鬆餅($18)。就朱古力熱飲而言，單從外觀已見面層那幼滑而細密的奶泡。舉匙舀之，瞥見厚厚奶泡層下，有著充滿光澤的熱朱古力。據了解，如果熱朱古力色澤光潤的話，就是因為朱古力的可可油分高，也是由於可可磨得夠幼細之故。怪不得這杯熱飲喝起來特別順滑，可可香味也出奇地突出。雖然不是Double Hot Chocolate，但是那種可可醇香，足以與後者媲美。喝時只覺有少許雲呢拿的香味，接著朱古力的甘味慢慢釋出，而且愈來愈濃。那甘甘澀澀的味道，在味蕾和喉頭間百轉千迴，可謂餘韻悠長。問過店員後，知道此店用的是西非濃度達96%的可可粉，怪不得可可香味會這般濃啦!

 不過這裡的藍莓鬆餅，就實在太不吸引了。質感可以用乾、鬆、散來形容。離開前特意向店員反映鬆餅的問題，得到的回應是店子主打飲品，暫時無意引入更多甜點款式，也抱歉暫時未能改善鬆餅的質素。撇除糕餅不好吃的問題之外，絕對可為這裡的朱古力熱飲一再而來!

    Where flat whites never disappoint
    2011-02-16 299 views
    Found this Fuel through accident, really. I was waiting for a job interview nearby and was quite early for it, so I decided to have a walk around Landmark and see how I could spend my lai see money. What I didn't realise was that I would spend the first $40 of my lai see on a flat white. As I wrote early last year about the sublime flat whites they dish out at the IFC joint, Landmark's store did not disappoint either.

    Found this Fuel through accident, really. I was waiting for a job interview nearby and was quite early for it, so I decided to have a walk around Landmark and see how I could spend my lai see money. What I didn't realise was that I would spend the first $40 of my lai see on a flat white.

    As I wrote early last year about the sublime flat whites they dish out at the IFC joint, Landmark's store did not disappoint either. Like IFC, the brew here was slightly bitter and an entire stick of sugar did not hide the fact that the brew had a subtle yet distinctively bitter taste to it. The foam was stiff and was still standing even after I had poured the sugar in and stirred the drink a good few times. I didn't want to put it to waste so I ate the foam with the teaspoon (oh pinotgris, manners please...)

    Flat whites are always a pleasure to drink at Fuel, even though they cost $40 and are served in almost miniature saucers. Oh well, we deserve a treat every now and then.

    There is something different between the IFC and Landmark stores, and that is seating. Seating at Landmark deserves a less than favourable mention. Being the less than 5-foot-6 east Asian that I am, I find it difficult to perch comfortably in bar stools, with or without back rests, yet the joint was full of them. I mean, at least I had the choice to sit down in decent chairs at th IFC store, but it seems that place is at such a premium, they can only afford bar stools and unfortunately make things uncomfortable for patrons to stay any longer than 15 minutes.

    But I say it's a good thing, because just in case I do get that job, I don't want to make this place my hideout destination...

    Lesson of the day: If you want to sit properly, burn more calories and walk to the IFC store; if you are comfortable with bar stools, however, Landmark will do you just fine. I think the staff are also more attentive at the IFC store, but that could just be because of my one pleasant experience.

    上年年尾己知有幾間咖啡廳會開枝散葉.而新西蘭的代表先在置地再開一店.這便是開在B1 GUCCI,外的FUEL@LANDMARK,位置比IFC來的小一點兒.但就腳多了.也是二話不用說,要了杯ESPRESSO DOPPIO ;一直以來這間店不是太合我的要求因為她實在的太好生意(IFC) 以致她的質素叫我常有質疑...出品的也有参次.但今次又真的出乎意料的好,可能只是剛開了一週BARISTA很有空間去做杯好咖啡出來,很滑順有餘留帶有杏的甜味梅的酦.今次這28蚊....值.
