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。41Please respect copyright.PENANAIfruQwqEGH
41Please respect copyright.PENANAMiT3eVXaD1
「是台“行動咖啡車”,這是……福斯T2?」我不由自主地走上前去。41Please respect copyright.PENANAXM77tdrRC1
41Please respect copyright.PENANA37gKJ0YrXa
「哈,您真是內行,一眼就看出這是T2……」41Please respect copyright.PENANAz9dktLuKD4
41Please respect copyright.PENANAcWHljK5KG3
「這是改裝過的咖啡車?」41Please respect copyright.PENANA1INnLdq5LV
41Please respect copyright.PENANAi8Py0xoA7N
「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?」41Please respect copyright.PENANAqJ020WGnXD
41Please respect copyright.PENANAEkDmY4IKy9
「好啊,來一杯卡布奇諾。」41Please respect copyright.PENANAJk87ZuhTZO
41Please respect copyright.PENANAY1LUtFjYlq
一分鐘後。41Please respect copyright.PENANAOspHf6kM1i
41Please respect copyright.PENANANfMxJuw5ZN
「來,這是您的卡布奇諾。」41Please respect copyright.PENANAs1fsXLn4zy
41Please respect copyright.PENANA93DfQFCj6H
「謝謝。」41Please respect copyright.PENANABER6ttkXGp
41Please respect copyright.PENANAhT4eU79QVU
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。41Please respect copyright.PENANASmCyB7122Z
41Please respect copyright.PENANAdLAOqLzNlH
「如何,好喝嗎?」41Please respect copyright.PENANAOBiCX7QRC2
41Please respect copyright.PENANAAPXrdFaAOA
「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。」41Please respect copyright.PENANAR3COfu8OSc
41Please respect copyright.PENANA66rv7pCMrI
「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。41Please respect copyright.PENANAU63F2tNpNF
41Please respect copyright.PENANAhy0ha5Ww87
「好啊,再來一杯。」我點點頭表示同意。41Please respect copyright.PENANAKuSagGDsyE
41Please respect copyright.PENANAPnC04bv2Ed
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。41Please respect copyright.PENANA4duou22Opx
41Please respect copyright.PENANAHxpGsisXFu
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。41Please respect copyright.PENANA0UrqvREXct
41Please respect copyright.PENANAOyfezWsLJU
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。41Please respect copyright.PENANAjDCwTPRFeJ
41Please respect copyright.PENANAQQe1DRjD90
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。41Please respect copyright.PENANAdCu3rv6JgA
41Please respect copyright.PENANAX0vtECSSVS
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。41Please respect copyright.PENANAnkQPclPhoC
41Please respect copyright.PENANAUbiPNPh4gD
「您對拉花也有興趣嗎?」Iris問。41Please respect copyright.PENANA5s7xpnX3jF
41Please respect copyright.PENANAPYlEpsDYjC
「嗯,我覺得你們的拉花技術很棒,可以傳授我一些秘訣嗎?」41Please respect copyright.PENANADzUvk0DbTy
41Please respect copyright.PENANAreNMKAlbsx
「拉花算是進階的功夫,您可以先從奶泡學起。」41Please respect copyright.PENANAk9zg7FHCYf
41Please respect copyright.PENANA8aNJMqdNf9
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。41Please respect copyright.PENANAOFaMSU36vv
41Please respect copyright.PENANA2EZdu1MDa6
「拿鐵和卡布奇諾有什麼樣的區別呢?」41Please respect copyright.PENANApGXS0UsjxD
41Please respect copyright.PENANAFFoHabJMgR
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。」41Please respect copyright.PENANAkbCNJE55Rz
41Please respect copyright.PENANAIxlFibBcMQ
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。41Please respect copyright.PENANAnOswB7RM1Q
41Please respect copyright.PENANA1vNzVW0TXy
「該怎麼做呢?」41Please respect copyright.PENANA6EYXkKluGL
41Please respect copyright.PENANASl5vr8Thx9
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。」41Please respect copyright.PENANA0c4Q9kkQTc
41Please respect copyright.PENANAWlRnA5aeWz
「你們這應該是屬於手工打奶泡嚕?!」41Please respect copyright.PENANAkSD7AUhtAY
41Please respect copyright.PENANACzizJ4w1X7
「對啊,想試試看嗎?我可以教您怎麼做唷。」41Please respect copyright.PENANAjfRcBfy9jF
41Please respect copyright.PENANAvZ8uPOlmrY
Iris一邊操作、一邊口述,我拿出筆記將她說的步驟要點抄下。41Please respect copyright.PENANAJwQqWQ9wlt
41Please respect copyright.PENANAoDyDNxGHUH
「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。41Please respect copyright.PENANA1iO4kYe2VC
41Please respect copyright.PENANACqDfzHdsRB
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。41Please respect copyright.PENANAYu0bKslWSt
41Please respect copyright.PENANAiQkvgD80gl
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。41Please respect copyright.PENANACLZrQPEfG3
41Please respect copyright.PENANAvtd6TnPHj9
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。41Please respect copyright.PENANAdcJedSEu7I
41Please respect copyright.PENANAsnLEJkJXI8
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:41Please respect copyright.PENANAFdGS4IftQ2
41Please respect copyright.PENANA9qeXTtwDWC
1、倒入成形Free Pouring41Please respect copyright.PENANAsF6r5WMUym
41Please respect copyright.PENANADilHIqeCYc
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。41Please respect copyright.PENANAjz4PS60wod
41Please respect copyright.PENANA7imGw4S5mB
2、雕花Etching41Please respect copyright.PENANAcEYkXvxC8o
41Please respect copyright.PENANA9oGBjOYx7a
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。41Please respect copyright.PENANAtyK34xKrTO
41Please respect copyright.PENANA0iILKSKRoS
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。41Please respect copyright.PENANAMOvzcY4uf5
41Please respect copyright.PENANAlElt7q3mJL
「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。41Please respect copyright.PENANA1Pfj6PiunA
41Please respect copyright.PENANAhUtGRml0m0
「受益匪淺,收穫很多,謝了。」41Please respect copyright.PENANA8GbqNHvpXy
41Please respect copyright.PENANAquJbeq2yWK
「咦……」突然間,Iris像是想起了什麼。41Please respect copyright.PENANAKUPKdLECkk
41Please respect copyright.PENANAzIoOFkAzUy
「怎麼了嗎?」Stanley問。41Please respect copyright.PENANA1adPXb7zAB
41Please respect copyright.PENANADyEHtmjoSQ
「看妳這麼驚訝的表情,是不是我臉上有弄到什麼東西?」41Please respect copyright.PENANAmTbF8AKnMV
41Please respect copyright.PENANAEoFZ3Yj1u5
「那倒不是。」Iris回答。41Please respect copyright.PENANAVjhgHj5dFK
41Please respect copyright.PENANA4BYThWxgmH
「還是我說錯了什麼?!」41Please respect copyright.PENANAKzkK2q8R8X
41Please respect copyright.PENANAxaie1bVj88
「也不是。」41Please respect copyright.PENANAWUt7Kz6q8B
41Please respect copyright.PENANAPxP3rTapQD
「那到底是怎麼樣啊……」Stanley搔著頭說。41Please respect copyright.PENANAPXpk8brRLM
41Please respect copyright.PENANAGJVBXTx0YV
我也是一臉納悶。41Please respect copyright.PENANAK2LxdHzoLT
41Please respect copyright.PENANAEnuNODP3dg
「總覺得好像在哪裡看過您,可是怎麼都想不起來的說。」41Please respect copyright.PENANAhkODmhFtMg
41Please respect copyright.PENANAn4gpgrzric
「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。41Please respect copyright.PENANAkrLU3NXvQ2
41Please respect copyright.PENANAoQe0KnaYDj
「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。」41Please respect copyright.PENANATi7qvVlOCz
41Please respect copyright.PENANAdyVnD5me7O
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。41Please respect copyright.PENANA51bMNxSi1I
41Please respect copyright.PENANA1cROhY4lIX
一路往南開,經由二高,準備返回南部。41Please respect copyright.PENANAbr6ZnwbKdb
41Please respect copyright.PENANABkzjG1DyvV
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。41Please respect copyright.PENANAbiMwCB9FkY
41Please respect copyright.PENANAx2c574YFUM
先是在清水休息站休憩片刻後,便馬不停蹄地往南部開。41Please respect copyright.PENANAiCaoT76I31
41Please respect copyright.PENANA2BzkGo64bT
「差不多快到關廟了,等會下去上個廁所。」我喃喃自語著。41Please respect copyright.PENANAqaw0bcy83t
41Please respect copyright.PENANAzGclxtMMkb
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。41Please respect copyright.PENANAjiL7WDsYwj
41Please respect copyright.PENANAgcjbwHIQBR
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。41Please respect copyright.PENANAGWVFrpBbuC
41Please respect copyright.PENANAFYpInXb1o8
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。41Please respect copyright.PENANA6CUiubGCno
41Please respect copyright.PENANAmJhDUJhoVK
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。41Please respect copyright.PENANAvdDgMYbOdS
41Please respect copyright.PENANATJCjSaJrDZ
將車停好後,下車走往公廁的方向。41Please respect copyright.PENANAFFPRSOTGEn
41Please respect copyright.PENANA7W1UVchITX
車內無人,手機鈴聲響起。41Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7gd725ngl
41Please respect copyright.PENANAxg8NWMF1Jz
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。41Please respect copyright.PENANAUoz32rdNgc
41Please respect copyright.PENANA9sCIcK9pFq
「呼!喔,這應該就是傳說中的咖啡廳了吧?!」41Please respect copyright.PENANAZBo119ZKyN
41Please respect copyright.PENANAz670UTwUm4
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。41Please respect copyright.PENANAZZn3qojT9K
41Please respect copyright.PENANAjgmNLLL7JG
「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。41Please respect copyright.PENANA3tMwhuUZVS
41Please respect copyright.PENANAmH9tsLVHYU
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。41Please respect copyright.PENANATn2jOiVCy9
41Please respect copyright.PENANAxCLwdsxu3n
「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。41Please respect copyright.PENANA4cXJrnaohH
41Please respect copyright.PENANAxC3PakFDk1
嘟-嘟-嘟!41Please respect copyright.PENANAp18vwykf3A
41Please respect copyright.PENANAPoi4wjF8Di
「喂!」對方接起電話。41Please respect copyright.PENANAvwmIeC4CnW
41Please respect copyright.PENANAIAZ1zWzqXo
「喔,我是賴文儒,請問您剛是不是撥打這個手機號碼?」41Please respect copyright.PENANAozH9MpfRfQ
41Please respect copyright.PENANAbL5pNXsyXz
「嗯,很冒昧打電話給您。」41Please respect copyright.PENANA1l0gYzfqEw
41Please respect copyright.PENANAv6sWGHze1I
「請問您是?」41Please respect copyright.PENANAI3vuEcMWC2
