field trip #1

Kowloon Bay bespoke

I was having interview at kowloon bay and suddenly recalled that the cafe was located there as well. As usual, i got lost, special thanks to cash to send me the address. Actually it is quite easy to find, just one block away from megabox, on the right from the shuttle bus stop to kowloon bay station.

It was about half five when i got there, the environment surprise me, it does worth 750k. Sorry I didn't bring my camera with me therefore it gonna be all txt in the remaining entry.

There's almost no one there, @@, probably cuz it is around 6 ppl would prefer soup than coffee.

 I ordered cappuccino ($30 large) and croissant with smoked salmon ($18), n she asked me if I want that to be reheated, = ]  good service.

There's a long table near the window with high chairs (with cushions, nice) ,

It took roughly one minute and two minute for the coffee and croissant to arrive. (as i am the only customer that should be the quickest they can do)

Taste: coffee, nice, should be more suitable for hk ppl (我會覺得佢唔夠啡但係香港人應該ok) , 都係用番中文打學咩人用英文haha, 至少一飲就知佢D野全部都係新鮮, 唔會苦

個牛角包聽聞係好好, 用唔知咩法國牛油, 咁佢又真係好食, 不過一開頭淨係俾隻叉我. 但係佢好既係, 我問佢攞刀, 之後佢送埋紙巾, 起碼留意到.

如果唔係今日趕我會拎本書去坐佢一個下奏.

Carbonara ~ My way

Everyone got their own way of making carbonara, and probably that's the most common dish for pasta, since it is quick and easy.

Here's my way for that,

For 1

pasta- i would perfer penne cuz it absorb more juice. but it doesn''t matter if u prefer other kind of pasta.

1/4 to half a onion, diced, fry n add tiny bit of sugar, just to caramelize the onion, until transparent

Pancetta ham or bacon, i would prefer pancetta,(special kind of italian bacon), if not just go for streaky bacon.


just add the raw bacon into the pan with cooked onion, it will be less oily cuz the onion will absorb them.
add white wine while cooking as well, (i would perfer pinto girio).

%% step for adding mushroom
mushroom is yes or no in my carbonara, just randomly chop yr mushroom, probably into 1/4 size, chop it with the stalk attached. Olive oil in hot pan, mushroom in, fry until coloured, but dun overcook it(dun let the juice to come out cuz it will make yr sauce dark n watery).
%% end

the following steps all in LOW heat

reheat the bacon and onion (and mushroom) mixture, add cream (cream need to be in low heat for better control), add milk, for amount of cream and milk i would say 5 to 1 roughly, but don't need to be precise.
 
Drain yr pasta, dun drain all the water away, put it into yr milk cream mixture, slowly stir it, until the juice stick to the pasta, then turn the heat off, stir a raw egg yolk in, use the remaining heat to cook it.


Final touch, pamasan cheese and a few basil leaves.
