最近喝咖啡的口味有些改變，喜歡在苦苦的齋啡里加半匙的白糖，并不加以攪拌。于是喝到底時唇舌間便嘗到杯底剩余的甜味，像是品嘗著液態的甜點，有種苦盡甘來的幸福感。據一本由日本咖啡師著作關于咖啡的書說，這是意大利人傳統的喝法。
咖啡這玩意兒是很不可思議的。一杯好的咖啡，講究的是從8克咖啡豆中於2、30秒內抽取2、30ml的Expresso的執著，此外還有水的溫度、磨豆的粗細、器皿的用法等，然后加上由Expresso之中變化而來的Latte、Cappucino、Mocha等以至拉花的創意，而喝的時候要能讓香氣（aroma）、味道（flavour）、稠度（body）和回韻（after taste）做完美的融合，麻煩學問一堆。
現在公司內有架Expresso machine，集磨豆機與按鈕式咖啡機于一身，但發現它的latte卻稍嫌甜膩，太多奶的關系；cappucino嘛奶泡又太少，且那奶泡消失得快，最不過癮；而coffee就比較好，沒糖沒奶，任人自由發揮。大概因此導致我口味的變化。最近其實也沒什么機會用咖啡機，因坐的位置離較遠，也不好常常逛去拿咖啡，怎么說沒工作的人最好不要太顯眼，免得讓人閑話。但咖啡還是要喝的，將就點nescafe即溶咖啡是唯一的選擇。
嗐，閑了2個半月，并非好事，人都漸漸自我封閉起來了。

“叹”咖啡
算算我到底喝了多少杯咖啡：
凌晨12点多，睡前一杯NESCAFE
早餐时喝两杯餐厅内供应的不知道什么咖啡
来到OFFICE，即刻来一杯咖啡机普通咖啡、后又来一杯咖啡机CAPPUCINO
午餐时特地去买一杯OFFICE CAFE的CAPPUCINO，喜爱它过多的奶泡
等下回房后，一定又再来“叹”一杯NESCAFE
嗯，一天7杯，还好瓜？
不知这里南非出产什么出名的咖啡？一定要买一些回家。
[UPDATE] 结果晚餐时又多喝了半杯的IRISH COFFEE，赞！

Jogoya 上阁屋 @ StarHill, KL
It was a tiring Friday.
For the whole week, I have just managed to sleep about 4-5 hours per day. And, I have no fucking idea what I was doing in these awaken hours. I remembered I watched UEFA Championship League match between Barcelona and Benfica one night and was blogging the other night. But that is not the reason why I stayed up. Basically, I think I need to stay up for indulgence of that lonely hours with myself, just me and myself. I sacrificed my sleep for that.
After wednesday dinner with whistler, AiS and YC at Kayu, Bkt. Tinggi, we made ourselves another dinner appointment at Jogoya, StarHill Gallery on friday.
MF and I reached there early. While whistler still having fun at Thai Club, YC still couldn't have herself figuring out where is her exact location around Taman Tun, and AiS still waiting in office for YC, we took a walk around top floor of StarHill and saw these interesting sculptures.
They are reading Herald Tribune
After a while we decided to have a few bites first while waiting for them, and also because we were already starving.
We were seated at a table in a corner. Nice atmosphere there I'll say. The seafood and sashimi were nice, especially the oysters which are huge and fresh and juicy; the butterfish sashimi was chewy and yummy. Excellent taste on the ice cream and dessert, I loved the chocolate mousse cake. Other than that, we tried different cooking style of seafood and found they're ok.
Everything is great until the restaurant announced that they are closing down at 12am and they actually started cleaning the food and things at 11.40pm. We were suprised as we thought it's open until 2am and it's written on the business card as well!
Hence we asked one of the lady works there.
whistler: Thought it's open until 2am, no?
The Lady: NO (with very high pitch), DON'T SCARE ME, WE OPEN UNTIL 12AM ONLY!
Me: But is written in the business card (showed her the business card)
The Lady: THAT IS FOR OUTLET IN TAIWAN ONE! YOU SHOULD SEE THE OPENING HOUR WE PUT OUTSIDE THE ENTRANCE!
Fine! Then we stepped outside of the restaurant, and found out it's written "open until 1am". OK, we were fooled by the "2am" from business card, but she is wrong about the "12am" as well. Heck, so is it open until 1am or 2am or 12am? Or, it's up to their mood?
