Matcha Tea Latte

Location: Moomin cafe at... (2020 me: Tsim Sha Tsui Harbour City?)

Price: $50 HKD (2020 me: jesus christ. Maybe I’ve been away from HK and HK prices too long, but that just feels steep. Though, this is a fancy themed cafe, after all. It was attached to a moomin shop.)

I almost don't know how to drink this, because its beauty demanded to survive. But I reminded myself I paid good money for this and not just to look at it so it could not, sadly, continue to exist. Destruction, however, can be its own kind of beauty (so to immortalise it I took a video documenting it's impalement, see the next post).

Probably because I have yet had the heart to stir it properly, the taste is currently rather bitter and bland. I stirred it and it's still kind of watery for a tea latte. Starbuck's ones are much milkier and comfortingly sweeter, but I guess bitterness is more true to matcha form. I suppose you can argue the price and whole appeal comes from the atmosphere of the restaurant and the appearance of the drink and food (though the warm, crunchy yet soft pancakes paired with cold vanilla ice cream and bananas was actually pretty good), more than the actual food itself, though if you like tamer tasting drinks this is good! I myself tend towards sweet and milky, so I'm biased.

For you sweet toothed folks out there, I found that if you really mix in the whipped cream on top (it takes a while) it gets a bit sweeter (but also foamy if you don't really ham it in).

إلى حلّ الغروب وبزغ الهلال

وأصبح رفيقًا جيداً ليّ.

لنّ تجدني في أماكن الكثرة، ستجدني في القلة دائماً حيث الأماكن التي تشبه مطلع روحي وناصية فكري.

نسمة الهواء العليلة وصوت الطيور تغرد في السماء وبيدي كِتاب يراقص صفحاته الهواء وحفيف نخلٍ عالياً في الجوار. هذا ما أشعر به الآن..مزاجٌ الصافي المتعالي للحب للحظة الغروب، يطمئن روحي ويجعلني تحت وطأتها، مستمتعة بحضور قوتها وهالتها الفريدة.
