數月前聞說上環普慶坊有售賣手工麵包的Po's Atelier，不過價錢不菲，加上家沒同包中人，所以只有看的份兒．比起只設外賣的麵包店，其後在堅巷開設的Cafe Deadend，卻更得我心－畢竟，比起吃，我更喜歡喝，尤其咖啡．但事與願違．雖然一週差不多上落普慶坊十數次，卻一直未到訪．
終於．最近心情差，睡得更差，精神日見痿蹶；每天不吸收咖啡因，仿如行屍走肉．更差的，是味蕾仿佛被褪色，五味之中只嘗得苦澀；所以，要醒神，每天一杯Americano是必需，反正就算一飲而盡，亦未覺苦．
但前天早上，咖啡因癮起，附近的homei和Cafe Loisl卻滿有默契的一同休息．也許，是時候？
位於堅巷和普慶坊交界的Cafe Deadend為半露天設計，座位被樓梯和高牆包圍．加上鄰近公園和後街，環境實在清幽．枱椅被整齊排成一列，顧客除我以外只有一人，環境更帶避世之感．可惜，忙碌心煩的是我：一心只來坐五分鐘喝一杯，本想只點Americano提神，卻被用收據紙打印的餐牌吸引著．除了普通的咖啡，還有特色的Dirty和espresso soda．一問，Dirty其實是將凍奶加入熱espresso，因賣相混濁而命名．
凍奶和熱espresso的組合，會是如何？論賣相，受熱密度降低的espresso漂散在冷奶之上，不修篇幅的層次不算醜，但肯定這像宇宙大爆炸的混沌，實在和精緻的拉花咖啡，成一強烈對比。
細啖一口，卻滿是驚喜。不是熱臉碰上冷屁股的自討沒趣，反而在第一口不可避免的浮面的苦澀之後，尾隨的凍奶甜香，卻更為突出。也許是溫度的強烈對比，或是那未經打泡的濃厚質感，令本來看似混亂的溫呑咖啡添上絲滑尾勁，比喝過的拿鐵又或是espresso，更為動人？冷熱苦甘看似對立，卻雙雙在口腔中組合互融，叫人欣喜。
可惜這天要趕著走，否則手上這一小杯，我肯定會放慢不少來喝著．此刻，真的好想再來一杯．
或者，很多東西像這杯Dirty一樣，看似混淆對立，其實只看透表面的苦澀，藏身底下的甜美，才是精華所在．
假設快樂有盡頭，痛苦也未會不朽？只是，咖啡再香，也許會刺激味蕾，心中的苦澀，還是纏繞不去，感覺，還像活在夢魘之中．
希望的，只是the best is yet to come．最好的，尚未來臨．
