Macallum Connoisseurs, Penang by Takeabreak90s.blogspot.com

每逢周末，打开社交网站随手一刷，总会出现咖啡蛋糕的聚餐休闲照。如若近期有新开张的咖啡馆，便会成为热门的打卡报到地点。似乎平时生活忙碌，唯有趁着周末到咖啡馆轻松一下。无论独自静静地喝杯咖啡吃些甜点，还是与友人相见聊近日状况，拿起手机相机咔嚓一声，就能即刻上传分享者难得的悠闲时光。我们得知这间咖啡馆，也是在面子书上发现多人到此打卡一游。我们三人在周日早晨，起了个大早，睡意未消便前到这里吃个早午餐。

Did you guys realize that every weekend when you open your social media page, there are tonnes of people posting coffee, cakes, brunch or dinner that they had. Once a new café open, you will saw lots of people will visit there and not forget to check in. It makes sense that nowadays people only have time to sit down and relax during weekend. So, cafe will be their choices after all. You will see friends that gather together, chit chat non-stop, take selfie or wefie and so on. They just enjoy the moment that they can gather together and forget all the stress and worries that they had in their life. 

3 of us are still the same, where we force our self to wake up early to have had our brunch here. Usually we do not prefer to hang out at the morning because we enjoy sleeping till late during weekend.  

入门柜台

其实，还未抵达之前便游览了其面子书的照片，给我的印象是个简约现代式设计的咖啡馆，外头说不定还有个大片空地与绿草坪。结果却不然，黑色建筑的外形工业化，入门便见大柜台，空间无比宽敞，高天花板的阴影采光，灰黑色调让整体带有一种货柜箱的感觉，不算是舒服适合久待的咖啡馆，但却很适合享用早午餐。

Before we pay a visit here, we make some homework by surfing their facebook page. It gives me an impression that it is a very modern, clean, simple and chic place. Kim even imagine that there will be lawn out there. Here is a very industrial inspired building with grey undertone. It is very spacious and you will get natural light from their ceiling and also the window. This is not a cafe that you can stay there for long time, but it is definitely a place that you can had a good breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner or even a cup of coffee and a slice of cake.

咖啡馆的室内环境

我们上午十一时抵达，找了个位子，等着服务生递上菜单，岂知无人招待，也无人理会。一间咖啡馆的服务与招呼足以显现出其售卖的态度，当时服务生都处于一种忙碌的状态，坐等了一段时间才知是顾客自理服务，只好去柜台自取餐单。翻阅菜单，距离十二点的午餐时段大约还有一小时，可是午餐选择丰富，便向柜台服务生询问是否可点选午餐。可行后，选了几道推荐与拿手的主食。点选的饮料并未让我们留下特别的印象，但是食物的味道却值得推荐，最让我们喜爱的的还是红酒烟熏鸭胸料理，鸭胸肉嫩滑可口，熟度适中，鸭肉呈粉红色，外皮香脆，油脂融合酱汁的味道清甜浓郁，没有一丝腥味，配上脆口的生菜，确实是极佳口味。

We arrive at 11am and it is already a few customers there. At first, we do not know that it is a self service cafe that you need to take your our menu and order it at the counter. So, we find a place to sit down and wait for the waiter to give us the menu like everything is normal. After some time, we realize that no one willing to serve us and also they are so busy serving food to customers. At last we realize that we have to make our order at the counter. It is such a shame that we did not realize it.

Smokey duck breast is one of our favorite. By far, this is the best duck breast that I ever taste. The duck breast was so tender and the red wine sauce is a perfect match to the duck breast. This is simply taste so delicious. The other food that they served was also very delicious. This is a cafe that we would recommend to our friends if they want to had good food. That day, Lily also recommended her junior to pay a visit to here when we meet them at somewhere else. Thumbs up!!!

Cafe Vienna，个人不怎么喜爱也不推荐，味道偏酸，应该是烘焙不够，少了该有的微苦

Cappucino Con Cocoa，与维也纳咖啡相比，这杯的确顺口，味道一般

Chocolate Chip Frappe

Pesto Clams Spaghetti
(Topped with Macallum's Homemade Pesto Dressing and Mix Herbs)

餐厅自制的香草酱汁美味，搭配的蛤蜊也肥美多汁，推荐给喜好重口味的顾客

Boon Han

Smokey Duck Breast
(Cooked with Red Wine Sauce, Raisins, and Baby Carrots)

菜单写着搭配小萝卜，可能太多人点了小萝卜不足，所以以沙拉取代

赏心悦目的摆盘，切着熏鸭胸时，便可感受那多汁嫩美的鸭肉，沾些酱汁葡萄干配上生菜，是道回味无穷的料理

Connoisseurs's Breakfast
(Macallum Pork Sausage, Avocado, Portobellos, Pork Bacon, Pouched Eggs, and Tomatoes)

典型的早餐搭配，整体风味不错不失

吃完饱足后，来个合影

后记：

如果你告诉大人：「我看见一幢漂亮的红砖房屋，窗边有天竺葵，屋顶上有鸽子……」

他们根本无法想象这是一幢怎样的房子。你得告诉他们：「我看到一幢价值十万法郎的房子。」

然后他们才会惊讶的说：「多漂亮的一幢房子。」

If you were to say to the grown-ups: “I saw a beautiful house made of rosy brick, with geraniums in the windows and doves on the roof,” they would not be able to get any idea of that house at all. 

You would have to say to them: “I saw a house that cost $ 20,000.” 

Then they would exclaim: “Oh, what a pretty house that is!”

——《小王子 The Little Prince》 第四章  Chapter Four

**为什么摘录这本书？在咖啡馆谈天时，汶翰说起某工作天，和友人外出午餐时，把工作包留在车上，岂知一回来，车镜被打爆了，工作包不翼而飞，里边没什么贵重物品，只有充电器，还有向我借阅的《小王子》。想不到不爱书的他，竟然也随身携带《小王子》在空闲时打发时间，想必这本书有其感染力。无论是谁，希望拿了这本带有三语的书后，好好阅读，而不是发现劫财未成，愤怒的一把火烧掉。哈哈。
