嗯，另一間有贏得不同Barista獎項的Cafe。說起來，其實我第一次去The Cupping Room的時間，它仍然在赤柱那邊，後來搬到上環，赤柱那裡則變成另一個名字的cafe，不過不太清楚它們的關係。Another cafe with various barista awards. Indeed, I had already been to The Cupping Room when it was still in Stanley. The original place is now occupied by another cafe with a different name but I am not sure the relationship between the two.星期六的午飯時間去到很多人呢。整間cafe都是非常熱鬧。店內的裝潢走簡約風，用了很多木。食客可坐下點想吃的，吃完後到收銀處付錢。收銀的地方放了些酥點及甜點，有店方自製的。Lunch hours on a Saturday was quite busy here. There is not much decor

星期六的午飯時間去到很多人呢。整間cafe都是非常熱鬧。店內的裝潢走簡約風，用了很多木。食客可坐下點想吃的，吃完後到收銀處付錢。收銀的地方放了些酥點及甜點，有店方自製的。
Lunch hours on a Saturday was quite busy here. There is not much decoration inside the cafe. Customers can first order, finish their meal and walk to the cashier to pay before leaving. There are also some cakes and danish at the cashier, some of which are homemade.
餐牌的選擇很清晰。不過我週六的1點左右去到，想吃的Poached eggs, smashed avocado with smoked salmon已賣完，有一點太早吧。。。The menus is clear and detailed. But I was quite surprised to find out that Poached eggs, smashed avocado with smoked salmon was already sold out... Well, that's kind of early given that it was only 1pm...
Cappuccino ($38) - 很老土的我，來來去去不是flat white就是cappuccino。。。看來是時候試點新的，不過，不是今天。今天仍是cappuccino。很standard的拉花，很美。味道不錯，不過我自己愛喝熱一點的咖啡，如果這裡的可以熱便更好。Cappuccino ($38) - Not very much willing to try the different varieties of coffee, it's usually only flat white or cappuccino for me... Probably time to try something new, but not today. It's still cappuccino this time! The coffee came with a standard latte art. It tasted good though I preferred a hotter one.
Egg Benedicts w/ Smoked Salmon ($108) - 又是我常吃的benedicts。主要是因為沒有Poached eggs 。有時候如果一間餐廳的egg benedicts有沙律菜、薯仔、蕃茄仔或其它伴菜，我會覺得比較值心情會比較好。(好吧我亦是有點貪心)好像在Classified，真的只有2件egg benedicts，雖然本身菜名就是egg benedcits，但我都會暗暗的希望有些伴菜。不過The Cupping Room則例外，雖然它只有數片橙及西柚，但整個egg benedicts看上去都很美很新鮮！Egg Benedicts w/ Smoked Salmon ($108) - Another of my usual brunch items, the egg benedicts. I only ordered this as poached eggs were no longer available. Speaking of egg benedicts, sometimes if they come with side salad, potatoes, cherry tomatoes or alike, I will instantly feel more delighted by the meal. (Oh yea I guess I am a bit too greedy) Like in Classified, there are really only two egg benedicts on plate which make the whole dish look a bit miserable. But the one here at The Cupping Room was an exception. The benedicts were served with few pieces of oranges and grapefruits but it looked really pretty.
這裡用上的不是傳統的English muffin，而是sourdough toast，是否健康些？那就要看看這sourdough用什麼造了。Sourdough有稍微的烘過，在三文魚的魚油及沾了半熟蛋的蛋汁下都不算太淋。Hollandaise sauce的份量沒有過多。三文魚的份量不少，不是薄薄的一層，而是由薄薄的三文魚疊了兩三層才放上半熟蛋。所以整件benedict吃下去時有頗重的三文魚味道，非常滿足的早午餐食品。Instead of the traditional English muffin, sourdough toast was used. Was it healthier with the sourdough? That depended on what they used to bake the bread. The sourdough toast was lightly toasted and was not too damp even with the oil from salmon and the egg yolk. The amount of Hollandaise sauce was just right. There were two to three layer of thin salmon under the eggs which was quite generous on part of the cafe since some other cafe may just use one very thin layer. As such, the taste of salmon was quite outstanding. Truly a satisfying dish.
Omelette Sandwiches ($108) - 另一款來之前已想吃的就是這擺盤特別的Omelette Sandwich。名為Omelette Sandwich，所以在sourdough麵包上，放了一層煙肉及omelette，合起來就是一份sandwich。Omelette Sandwiches ($108) - Another item I knew I had to order before I came was the Omelette Sandwich. As a "Sandwich", the omelette was placed on top, then the bacon and the sourdough toast at the bottom.
Omelette的料有芝士及菠菜，非常足料。Omelette的蛋皮很薄亦很滑，這麼薄的亦能包著那麼多的材料，很厲害。芝士菠菜蛋當然相配及好吃。蛋也很滑。餐牌上寫了"crispy bacon"，KK說沒有特別的crispy，但也好吃亦不太油。而餐牌上也寫了"raspberry jam sourdough"，但卻吃不出raspberry的味道。這也是自然的，因為有份煙肉及omelette在麵包上。但這不要緊，因為這份三文治本來已很好吃了。Inside the Omelette I could find cheese and spinach, lots of them actually~ The egg was really thin and I wonder how it was cooked so perfectly without any holes or cracks holding all those ingredients. Cheese, spinach and eggs together could not go wrong for sure and the egg was smooth and silky. The bacon was described as "crispy" but KK said it's not crispy at all yet it's still good and not too oily. Further, "raspberry jam sourdough" was also described on the menu but I failed to taste any raspberry jam. Well it's only normal since the taste of cheese, bacon, spinach and eggs would definitely have overpowered the jam. But I don't think it matters much in any event as the Omelette Sandwich was already very good.
吃後很快便走了，雖然是cafe，但是在週末的繁忙時間，其實也不能慢喝咖啡享悠閒。但來吃個brunch，也是不錯的選擇。We left quickly after finishing the meal. Although it's a cafe, given that it was lunch hours in a weekend, one could not really sit down and spend the afternoon with coffee. Still, it's a very good place for a brunch.
