剛開完會,覺得有些疲憊,正準備取車回南部。走在敦化北路上,我的目光頓時被一台車給吸引住。42Please respect copyright.PENANA38yzHM3PXh
42Please respect copyright.PENANAtKMkcEnMP0
「是台“行動咖啡車”,這是……福斯T2?」我不由自主地走上前去。42Please respect copyright.PENANAQndFP28Rze
42Please respect copyright.PENANAN2I3bFA3Cl
「哈,您真是內行,一眼就看出這是T2……」42Please respect copyright.PENANA7uOQCaCWDc
42Please respect copyright.PENANAzawwbaP3Cf
「這是改裝過的咖啡車?」42Please respect copyright.PENANAndjtKhuavb
42Please respect copyright.PENANA8Rg92CBiAa
「是的。先生,我看您精神不太好,要不要來杯又香濃又新鮮的咖啡提提神?」42Please respect copyright.PENANA8iGuXYhgnr
42Please respect copyright.PENANAwYq0Q0O2WX
「好啊,來一杯卡布奇諾。」42Please respect copyright.PENANA99CSfKDozr
42Please respect copyright.PENANAA5uTokknNW
一分鐘後。42Please respect copyright.PENANA1nrNHd1fX1
42Please respect copyright.PENANA4O5D5zljzD
「來,這是您的卡布奇諾。」42Please respect copyright.PENANARFdLfmIhNb
42Please respect copyright.PENANAAvSXW0HAgP
「謝謝。」42Please respect copyright.PENANAp8Cre1YucK
42Please respect copyright.PENANAFExqLTZbhO
這台T2行動咖啡車,是由Stanley和Iris這對男女朋友合開的。除了親自參與車身的設計外,內部裝潢更具巧思。車身雙色的烤漆,讓經過的客人們都忍不住多看幾眼。42Please respect copyright.PENANANDLAwvCpiI
42Please respect copyright.PENANAcapgWNAQLC
「如何,好喝嗎?」42Please respect copyright.PENANApXPtRaHCmq
42Please respect copyright.PENANAnn2xtE9Chi
「很棒!還有…… 就是這台T2行動咖啡車的外觀,看起來就像杯打了奶泡的卡布奇諾,想一飲而盡的感覺。」42Please respect copyright.PENANANt1mSFm8fz
42Please respect copyright.PENANAPJeVefFopf
「好喝的話,那就再來一杯吧。這次會幫您做不同的拉花,讓您有不同的感覺唷。」Iris笑著說。42Please respect copyright.PENANA92d96MPR3Z
42Please respect copyright.PENANAcDRmJnGJYy
「好啊,再來一杯。」我點點頭表示同意。42Please respect copyright.PENANAvOfevNESpV
42Please respect copyright.PENANAsj3csIJ13i
很多人以為拉花只是爲了美觀,但真正拉了花的咖啡應該更香醇。許多咖啡店的拉花,都是水水的,或是少少泡沬,口感跟味道都不是很好;原因只有一個,就是基本功打得不好。42Please respect copyright.PENANA9WsgU850kp
42Please respect copyright.PENANAzzjotzc01S
咖啡拉花要好喝,奶泡跟咖啡要能融合,而不是Crema被熱奶沖散;所謂的Crema是Barista在沖煮Espresso完成後,其表面上懸浮的東西;它會呈現虎斑紋路,散發出迷人的香氣。42Please respect copyright.PENANA1rKOLUvbI9
42Please respect copyright.PENANAcfPHOT7IO8
Crema有人直譯成克麗瑪,也有人稱做乳脂。顏色的話,則不一定,得看咖啡豆的種類,以及烘培的程度;有咖啡色帶乳棕色,也有赭紅色的Crema。42Please respect copyright.PENANAhMOAFMaPYF
42Please respect copyright.PENANAZB28YUz7J9
所以,拉花是一門很講究的功夫,基礎很重要。因為只有基礎打的好,才能做出最美味的咖啡,而且是色香味俱全的咖啡。42Please respect copyright.PENANAsB12THTaIB
42Please respect copyright.PENANAiagCPDmWTu
我站在一旁,仔細地看著Stanley和Iris的工作情形;一個弄咖啡、拉花,另一個則是負責端、送和招待。親切的態度,讓客人備感溫馨。42Please respect copyright.PENANAMYpcuJuHMN
42Please respect copyright.PENANA39jt0hTDKA
「您對拉花也有興趣嗎?」Iris問。42Please respect copyright.PENANAOJfEo3l89k
42Please respect copyright.PENANAWmgv2CauQQ
「嗯,我覺得你們的拉花技術很棒,可以傳授我一些秘訣嗎?」42Please respect copyright.PENANAMIgwopftDX
42Please respect copyright.PENANACS4SZzvHJT
「拉花算是進階的功夫,您可以先從奶泡學起。」42Please respect copyright.PENANACzIloBT7Q1
42Please respect copyright.PENANA1N6MukzoD6
在目前花式咖啡排行榜中,Cappuccino(卡布奇諾)和Cafelatte(拿鐵)是冠、亞軍,而這兩種咖啡其實都是以Espresso(濃縮咖啡)為基底,加上熱牛奶與綿密的奶泡,為最大的特色。42Please respect copyright.PENANAXVBG2eddd5
42Please respect copyright.PENANAJqHiHC49zR
「拿鐵和卡布奇諾有什麼樣的區別呢?」42Please respect copyright.PENANA5aYjjR2xRI
42Please respect copyright.PENANAPb3ZxYFApW
Iris:「卡布奇諾和拿鐵的區別,在於添加奶泡和牛奶的多寡,其中最大的關鍵還是在於綿密細緻的奶泡。」42Please respect copyright.PENANA3aXUKCen0n
42Please respect copyright.PENANAEmc106Eb81
奶泡的細緻與否,關係著花式咖啡的好壞,好的奶泡呈現的泡泡是非常細密的;細密到眼睛看不出牛奶裡有泡泡,但是搖晃起來卻呈現出濃稠的質感。成功的奶泡加入以 Espresso 為基底的咖啡,達成一種超完美的密合度,入口可以同時享受到牛奶的香甜與咖啡的濃郁。42Please respect copyright.PENANANgP7RqYlTx
42Please respect copyright.PENANA6fqYD2mSIL
「該怎麼做呢?」42Please respect copyright.PENANAJGO9VU04K3
42Please respect copyright.PENANA5TcKAHPK6g
Iris:「奶泡的做法可分為冷、熱兩種。在咖啡館中,熱奶泡是以 Espresso 咖啡機的蒸氣噴嘴,利用蒸氣使牛奶加熱,並且達到所需奶泡的綿密感,是快又有效的方式;但一般家庭就必須使用手工打奶泡了。」42Please respect copyright.PENANApWgNw8EqQo
42Please respect copyright.PENANAF4CM84sQ8D
「你們這應該是屬於手工打奶泡嚕?!」42Please respect copyright.PENANAWaFI3gMtKg
42Please respect copyright.PENANA6RmH5cObso
「對啊,想試試看嗎?我可以教您怎麼做唷。」42Please respect copyright.PENANAoPYsbGTzER
42Please respect copyright.PENANA1ubnw1GbDA
Iris一邊操作、一邊口述,我拿出筆記將她說的步驟要點抄下。42Please respect copyright.PENANAtOGUFEUCyz
42Please respect copyright.PENANAjDHOySMcPz
「對了,盡量挑選全脂牛奶,因為脫脂牛奶脂肪含量低,所以口感比較差。」Iris提醒著。42Please respect copyright.PENANApRSafEwHj7
42Please respect copyright.PENANAih7tJNftsK
以Espresso做底弄出來的卡布奇諾和拿鐵咖啡,之所以那麼受眾人喜愛的原因,除了濃郁完美的口感外,最主要的就是拉花藝術所造成的。為滿足顧客,各種拉花的技巧因應而生;一杯完美的卡布奇諾搭配美麗的拉花奶泡時,所呈現的就不只是味覺的滿分,而是除了味覺之外,令人讚嘆的視覺享受。42Please respect copyright.PENANAjer2O7LPPA
42Please respect copyright.PENANAxR9cAkhQAX
一般人對拉花並不是那麼的清楚,其實它所呈現的並不一定是花朵。通常是一片像蕨類般的葉子,呈現多重鋸齒狀,在咖啡與奶白色相輝映之下,非常迷人,因此有心者便在這樣的基礎上,開發出其他的圖樣,近來較多人使用的圖形有:心型、鬱金香、葉子型……等等。42Please respect copyright.PENANAld3F6bCsx0
42Please respect copyright.PENANA9q5Cv8wK9Q
要拉出漂亮的圖形,並須以綿密細緻的奶泡作為前提,加上手部平穩有節奏的晃動即可。當然最重要的是能有一杯萃取適當的Espresso加上一個好的窄口寬底的尖嘴拉花杯。42Please respect copyright.PENANAdMTfC7UUAp
42Please respect copyright.PENANAIm7jOk83FT
不論於Cappuccino、Latte或其他咖啡上加上圖案都會泛稱Latte Art,而方法主要有兩種:42Please respect copyright.PENANAbuZf85bBEM
42Please respect copyright.PENANAFeLlJnIQ1k
1、倒入成形Free Pouring42Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7iS3EVSsi
42Please respect copyright.PENANA4anZsvYoWo
利用熟練的技巧,控制奶壼的高低,晃動奶壼的幅度及速度,使奶泡於咖啡上形成不同的圖案。42Please respect copyright.PENANAPe9NjcpULp
42Please respect copyright.PENANAOw5ze2VuCT
2、雕花Etching42Please respect copyright.PENANAZgUEv4mqK1
42Please respect copyright.PENANA5HmACRMr04
於咖啡表面加上奶泡,醬料等東西,利用牙籤或溫度計等尖物雕畫出各種圖案,這種方式不用什麼技巧,只需創意,就能製作出漂亮的咖啡。42Please respect copyright.PENANAhKfDwF1Znx
42Please respect copyright.PENANAywmxti23E9
兩種方式同時使用,加上無限創意,則可以造出千變萬化的咖啡了。42Please respect copyright.PENANANQqbq1cXLc
42Please respect copyright.PENANAJPxiuKTfgq
「當然,這只是簡單、方便的技巧,還有很多更專業的。」一旁的Stanley補充說明。42Please respect copyright.PENANAIBn8pg81p5
42Please respect copyright.PENANAglO4TJuo91
「受益匪淺,收穫很多,謝了。」42Please respect copyright.PENANAo99gehSwiW
42Please respect copyright.PENANA8N9tZ7X4XH
「咦……」突然間,Iris像是想起了什麼。42Please respect copyright.PENANA4BHBnjx5ll
42Please respect copyright.PENANAOKRHhQhj5A
「怎麼了嗎?」Stanley問。42Please respect copyright.PENANAFDkVQHhOSG
42Please respect copyright.PENANA2cXUkdg0GO
「看妳這麼驚訝的表情,是不是我臉上有弄到什麼東西?」42Please respect copyright.PENANA1Vn6GACr28
42Please respect copyright.PENANA3Ze3WP1pAV
「那倒不是。」Iris回答。42Please respect copyright.PENANAfRQvAeOJOj
42Please respect copyright.PENANA01pnvD8Mmq
「還是我說錯了什麼?!」42Please respect copyright.PENANAMpr5l4m6Xf
42Please respect copyright.PENANATUCqS7FoZF
「也不是。」42Please respect copyright.PENANAgghufi8jRY
42Please respect copyright.PENANAWeyj60xD3m
「那到底是怎麼樣啊……」Stanley搔著頭說。42Please respect copyright.PENANAIcdwnAZTMe
42Please respect copyright.PENANA5Hhfc5NSLE
我也是一臉納悶。42Please respect copyright.PENANAEmktuDKnll
42Please respect copyright.PENANAf08qoagNmD
「總覺得好像在哪裡看過您,可是怎麼都想不起來的說。」42Please respect copyright.PENANAdXSUmeCNQf
42Please respect copyright.PENANATDpEFHxs5s
「對耶,經妳這麼一說,我也有似曾相識的感覺,好像在哪見過這位先生。」Stanley也點頭應著。42Please respect copyright.PENANAD9gB8hBf1M
42Please respect copyright.PENANAuIWFyvjpvO
「哎呀,都這麼晚了,我得趕回南部了;這是我的名片,希望有機會能再和你們見面。」42Please respect copyright.PENANAPZ2uFQW6xE
42Please respect copyright.PENANAgirJHpKBVN
我並沒有正面回答他們的問題,反倒是看了一下手錶,從皮夾裡頭拿出消費的錢和名片,一併遞給Stanley。42Please respect copyright.PENANADggeUu3amd
42Please respect copyright.PENANA2YwyHphsEZ
一路往南開,經由二高,準備返回南部。42Please respect copyright.PENANAOFANzuDZjY
42Please respect copyright.PENANAhMRdqI6z3n
二高的休息站蠻多都是著名的風景旅遊景點,像是著名的清水服務區,遠眺西濱台中港,夜景暮色都相當漂亮。42Please respect copyright.PENANAA7bRzBnxNI
42Please respect copyright.PENANAgA3LssJmvV
先是在清水休息站休憩片刻後,便馬不停蹄地往南部開。42Please respect copyright.PENANA3MbuQ6qrnv
42Please respect copyright.PENANA0Uaqzhh88Y
「差不多快到關廟了,等會下去上個廁所。」我喃喃自語著。42Please respect copyright.PENANARIAGLYbMsK
42Please respect copyright.PENANAqMIfasgjIj
關廟是二高最南端的休息站,過了這裡就是田寮,若要前往高雄可經過田寮隧道後右轉國道十號,直走則是南端的屏東林邊。42Please respect copyright.PENANAUj47FOFNKZ
42Please respect copyright.PENANA6sn4bMzdKq
關廟休息站,在青山的陪襯下,顯得格外耀眼,特別設計的跨越橋,讓旅客享受南二高的美景,還有兒童遊戲區,讓人看了就很貼心。42Please respect copyright.PENANAm04LOmBjFc
42Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9Qk36cNEM
時間是晚上的9點鐘,當然無暇去欣賞這所謂的美景,我只是想上個廁所休息一會後就離去。42Please respect copyright.PENANAfKy0r0AaIJ
42Please respect copyright.PENANAc34CdVXIhT
南二高關廟休息站的公廁,地板很乾,沒有污水,磁磚上還貼著俏皮的鳳梨頭圖案,廁所裡頭也很乾淨,還有專為殘障人士設備的感應式廁所,以及小朋友搆得到的洗手台.非常貼心的設計。42Please respect copyright.PENANAMEXEH5nQg4
42Please respect copyright.PENANA4lMkkuh3oo
將車停好後,下車走往公廁的方向。42Please respect copyright.PENANADpG5uoT88v
42Please respect copyright.PENANA7AtWThUbDY
車內無人,手機鈴聲響起。42Please respect copyright.PENANAiiCjHmHcHZ
42Please respect copyright.PENANAtj5hkGJZZB
上完廁所後,在洗手台前梳洗;累了一天,想藉此提振自己的精神。42Please respect copyright.PENANA2Yd4gf1eXv
42Please respect copyright.PENANAerI03I9qOW
「呼!喔,這應該就是傳說中的咖啡廳了吧?!」42Please respect copyright.PENANAFuimjBmsEZ
42Please respect copyright.PENANAQrW7zDmsxf
這咖啡廳叫做“巧筑空中咖啡”。之所以有傳說之稱是因為這咖啡廳的座位是分成兩邊的;一邊朝南,一邊朝北;它的外觀有著亮麗紅色的LED燈,上頭還有中國玉如意的圖騰,還蠻典雅的。42Please respect copyright.PENANA9jMC0dht25
42Please respect copyright.PENANA96H6M9oE5n
「這裡的景色挺優的,可惜沒太多時間在這停留。」走進去點了一杯焦糖拿鐵咖啡;花了5分鐘將它喝光;在休息站的時間,前後不到15分鐘。42Please respect copyright.PENANA1Ih5d7GMP6
42Please respect copyright.PENANAxExfeb75DW
啾!這是車子開防盜鎖的聲音。繫好安全帶準備上路。突然發現手機有未接來電的燈號在閃著。42Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7E3VWA04S
42Please respect copyright.PENANAwsP9EVpu4k
「哇,7通未接來電。這是誰的號碼沒看過……」按下了回撥鍵,將藍芽耳機戴到右耳,並緩緩地將車開出休息站。42Please respect copyright.PENANAQfiACN1oDu
42Please respect copyright.PENANAyOLP7xVSCK
嘟-嘟-嘟!42Please respect copyright.PENANAc8J6UNoZ4S
42Please respect copyright.PENANAQxgugJ12G0
「喂!」對方接起電話。42Please respect copyright.PENANAWFu7QfRU7O
42Please respect copyright.PENANAV19S5IzRnt
「喔,我是賴文儒,請問您剛是不是撥打這個手機號碼?」42Please respect copyright.PENANAeKaAKWZx06
42Please respect copyright.PENANA8UnkbJ5Bi7
「嗯,很冒昧打電話給您。」42Please respect copyright.PENANAgNOsrw0FiR
42Please respect copyright.PENANA1ae3pCcDee
「請問您是?」42Please respect copyright.PENANADFfe5VP5cz
