✨✨Life is like riding a bicycle✨✨
沒想到這個星期,突如其來地遇上一個核彈般的震憾消息,結果整個週末,我的情緒都非常波動,完全不能自已。
幸好還有可愛的團友們,立即抽空出來陪伴我,免得我獨自一人胡思亂想;更有朋友仗義伸出援手,給予我很多寶貴的實際意見去渡過難關。雖然還有太多後續的麻煩事要慢慢處理,但只要弄清局勢,找出正確的著力點,忐忑不安的心情便能慢慢緩解下來。
Jan老師見我逐漸恢復正常,便建議出來吃些新口味的蛋糕,順便一起快樂地談天說地,我想也沒想便答應下來。
從陌生的上環站一路走過來,沿途竟然有大量很有情調的蛋糕小店。不過我們的目的地。卻是一間專門出售gluten free的vegan蛋糕店。因為大家都在努力研究這類蛋糕,所以特地過來嘗試別人的製成品,看看有沒有甚麼inspiration吧。
想不到這店子的裝潢有一點像自己的家,都是白色主調的自然簡約路線。四處隨意放點植物,用一排排漂亮的白色茶罐插起各式用具,隨性得來很別緻,一看就知道是用過心思。走到蛋糕櫃,斯文的店員友善地介紹著每款蛋糕,我和老師商量一下,決定點hojicha mousse cake和lemon chocolate cake。
蛋糕送上來的時候,我們嚇了一跳,怎麼不像坊間那些越來越細的份量,竟是超巨型的外國size? 望望周圍的食客,洋人佔了一大半,怪不得了。焙茶芝士蛋糕雖然茶味有點淡,但質感算幼滑,用全素的材料能夠弄到這個效果,真是非常厲害。蛋糕面的忌廉裝飾,是很濃郁的vanilla味道,香甜的氣味在口腔久久不散。而朱古力的脆脆餅底味道也不俗,只是實在太薄,亦非常鬆散,一碰即碎。如此一來,整件餅的層次結構實在不夠平衡,焙茶忌廉比例太高,吃著吃著會覺得有點沉悶和膩口,是比較可惜的敗筆。
至於是屬於Keto類別檸檬朱古力蛋糕,sponge很是鬆軟,配合淡淡的檸檬味也很清新特別。不過可能因為不能用上自然的糖分,這個蛋糕吃久了,會有點令人不太習慣的味道回甘。不過整體而言,在如此局限的條件下,做到像真度如此高的vegan蛋糕,其實已經非常非常出色。
我坐在店內,和Jan老師有一搭沒一搭聊著苦惱的近況,抬頭就看到店內掛著的海報,映入眼簾的短短三行英文短句,突然有點頓悟。
是的,在崎嶇不平的人生路途上踏單車,搖搖欲墜的時候,想要保持平衡的話,最好的方法就是快速地拿穩方向,然後拼命用力向前衝。稍稍顧影自憐地慢下來,反而會跌個遍體鱗傷,再也回不了正常軌道。
既然已經找到離開陰霾的方向,這該是好好收拾心情,努力向前走的時候了。
要打起精神啊!

🍰Visiting Tips
這間在香港算是比較特別的素食蛋糕店,除了有vegan cake 外,更有gluten free cake和keto cake可供選擇,在上環和佐敦都有分店。早上開店不久的時間到來,蛋糕橱窗都已經準備好,實在非常有誠意。雖然是全素蛋糕,但款式實在很多,聽著介紹時都覺得味道配搭頗吸引,有特殊飲食需要的人遇上它,應該會非常非常感動。
只是價格實在不便宜,每件cut cake要$95。不過做全素蛋糕材料非常昂貴,這個價錢可以理解。只是每件蛋糕份量卻超級巨大,相信一個普通香港女生都頗難吃得完。如果店內可以提供半份的選擇就好了,
