曼谷之旅...Part1...

现在的曼谷已不像往年我去过的曼谷了。。现在曼谷城市里的大厦已开始取代往年的木建房屋，但也不是是完完全全的取代，在雄伟的建筑物及繁忙的高速公路里头，一些被保留或不愿搬走的居民的旧房子还是能看得见。。当年（十多年前吧。。）还记得爸妈带着我们（弟弟）来到曼谷的时候，它还是一个正要发展的城市，而且到处可见那里的居民摆着摊子卖着道地的小食，那些小食就好像像征着泰国曼谷，每当谈起泰国，就会想起那些美食了。。但在这次的曼谷游最奇怪的是看见了很多都好像台湾妹的美媚,令我顿时觉得好像到了台湾，只不过她们都是讲泰语罢了。。这曼谷之旅真令我难忘，且某些事还真让我另眼相看，下集再告诉大家罢，现在很睏了，先睡了。。To be continue...

咖啡的分類

曼特寧(MANDELING)～～～ 在藍山尚未公諸於世時，曼特寧咖啡是被認為世界第一優良品。屬強性品種，風味特殊，質感濃郁，芳香，沒有柔和的酸味，強烈的苦味是它獨到之處，而且它的醇度特強，一般都是單品種飲用，但調配合綜合咖啡時，也是不可或缺的品種，故多年來一直是綜合咖啡的主要支柱。對於不喜歡有酸味的咖啡的人，是一項很好的選擇。曼特寧和爪哇相同的產於印尼產地，但曼特寧品質較穩定，為蘇門答臘中最具代表性的咖啡。豆粒甚大，呈黃色或褐色，生產量比較少，故價錢高。

巴西聖多斯咖啡(SANTOS)～～～ 中間的裂紋呈褐色，因為當地豆子多以日曬法處理。巴西所產之咖啡，屬中性咖啡豆，味道上的特色是平板中性，整體而言味道柔和不偏苦也不偏酸，被譽為咖啡之中堅，常被用來和其它咖啡豆混合，例如以巴西與曼特寧各半調製之曼巴咖啡就廣受大眾喜愛。　　巴西是目前全球最大咖啡產國，所以，巴西豆也是所有綜合咖啡的主要成分之一，但因巴西豆具有其特殊的風味，但不被買家喜好，常在咖啡豆產量少時被當成替代品。巴西聖多斯咖啡從聖保羅州的聖多斯港出口，是巴西咖啡的最高級品。粒大，淡綠或為淡黃色的豆，一般幾乎都用來做為調配用。香味高，有適合的苦味，亦有如高級品的酸味，亦可直接飲用。自古以來，就是混合式咖啡的必需品，為大眾所熟悉

哥倫比亞(COLOMBIA)～～～ 哥倫比亞咖啡中以斯普雷墨SUPREMO最具特色。屬軟性口種，高均衡度，具高度香氣，良質的酸度及甘甜味，整體而言是具有酸中帶甘，苦味中平之良質特性,尤其異香撲鼻，風味奇佳，其品質及香味穩定，有股地瓜皮的奇特風味，色如釀好的酒，,乃咖啡中之佼佼者。一種帶甜味及酸味且非常香醇的咖啡，微苦，，風味奇特。　　咖啡豆中間裂紋呈白色，因為當地生產的豆子以水洗居多，哥倫比亞是全球第二大咖啡產國，所以在綜合咖啡中也常看到哥倫比亞咖啡豆，特色是在於他的酸度和均衡的風味。

摩卡(MOCHA)～～～ 目前以葉門所生產的咖啡為最佳，其次為依索比亞的摩卡。摩卡咖啡帶獨特之甘，酸，苦味極為優雅，為一般高級人士所喜愛的優良品種，普通皆單品種飲用，飲之潤滑可口，醇味歷久不退，若調配綜合咖啡,更是一種理想的品種。　　摩卡原指由阿拉伯的摩卡港運山的豆子，位於阿拉伯半島上葉門(Yemen)的國家內，今日的純稀有的葉門摩卡已十份罕見，純正的摩卡稀有價位昂貴，風味濃郁且香醇，而口感中酸味強。　　摩卡的豆行較尖長，以日曬法處理，所以中間的裂紋呈黑褐色。摩卡豆的最大特色在於豆色不平均，有時候甚至會豆子中發現軟石參雜其中。摩卡豆以酸度著稱，為了提昇風味的豐富性，在綜合咖啡中也常見到他。羅姆斯達(爪哇)～～～ 作為調配綜合咖啡最理想的豆子，其酸性極少，苦味強烈，煎焙較淺薄，則有如大豆之味，煎焙過度則苦味娛強，因此最適合配合使用。為了提昇風味的豐富性，純品飲者較少，是南洋咖啡之代表品種。綜合咖啡若調上羅姆斯達咖啡，可使咖啡濃度增強,甘味增加。　　羅姆斯達是產於印尼的豆子，爪哇已成為一個咖啡中心，味苦而香醇濃郁，印尼豆帶土氣，配合狂野、醇酒般的葉門摩卡豆是不錯的組合。 　　從前爪哇是阿拉伯種，現在的是羅弗斯達種。在1920年發生了病害，大多數生產園荒廢，從那以後改種抵抗力強的羅弗斯達種。瓜地馬拉～～～ 瓜地馬拉咖啡豆的豆表光滑硬度高，微酸香醇且順口，特殊的煙燻味極為誘人，味道香醇而稍具野性，是混合式咖啡的最佳材料。其分類依海拔標高分為七個等級。產於高地者越香醇，而產於低地的咖啡豆，品質則較低落。瓜地馬拉為日本人最熟悉的咖啡豆，第一產地位於緊臨墨西哥山岳地帶的聖馬爾克斯。第二產地為南部的凱薩兒德南哥。其他尚有戈邦、安地古亞也很有名。這種咖啡豆的特色在於醇度很高，在單品中僅次於曼特寧，但因為成本較高，在一般綜合咖啡中反而少見到他的蹤影。

藍山(BLUE MOUNTAIN)～～～ 藍山咖啡香味較淡，但喝起來卻非常香醇滑口，沒有苦苦的味道，但它卻帶了一點點的酸，馥郁的果香，優質且均衡的內容，一般都單品種飲用，乃咖啡中最好品種。因為產量極少，價格昂貴，一般人很少喝得到真正的藍山，多是味道極近似的咖啡所調製，但價格仍比一般咖啡高昂。藍山咖啡豆的形狀飽滿，而且平均比一般豆子還要大，中間的白色裂紋，是經過水洗的處理。它產自牙買加藍山海拔2500尺以上的斜坡上，屬於咖啡中的極品，價位也是最高的一種，它的產量有限，但大都被日本、美國和英國的咖啡買家壟斷，所以市面上的藍山大多不是純正的，購買時必須小心！例如有一種來自中美洲的『大象豆』，就是一種常見的仿冒品！要特別注意的是→千萬別貪小便宜！如果你買的藍山咖啡豆，價位只比一般哥倫比亞豆貴個２０％，這裡面真的藍山豆大概不會超過２０％。


如此可见咖啡也是一门学问...正如葡萄酒一样, 咖啡也拥有蛮旧的历史...:>

THE MALAYSIAN MALAY

by Dr Syed Alwi of Singapore

quoted-printable Content-Length: 5485

Dear Editor,

As you know, I am an avid watcher of Malaysian affairs. I must confess that lately, Malaysia appears to be failing. Not a day passes by without more events that clearly highlight Malaysia 's race-religion fault-line. If things keep going this way, I fear for Malaysia 's future. Today, schools in Singapore celebrate Racial Harmony Day. I can visibly see the joy in the children's faces as they wear their ethnic costumes and have fun together at school. But in Malaysia - even the right to choose a religion has become a sensitive, national issue. No doubt, there are many in Malaysia who hate my liberal views on Islam, family included. But I will say what I must say openly. I have come to the conclusion that Malaysia cannot progress any further without first addressing fundamental questions regarding its identity and soul. I remember the days when we can laugh at Lat's cartoons on everyday Malaysian life. But sadly, the Islamic tide has polarised Malaysians. Some people ask why I should bother about Malaysian affairs since I am a Singaporean. May I remind Malaysians that it was Tan Siew Sin who once said that Singapore and Malaysia are Siamese Twins. Should Malaysia go down - it would hurt the region tremendously. Especially Singapore . Where do you think Malay apostates would head for if Lina Joy loses her case? Singapore of course! I find the Malaysian Malay to be very under-exposed. For them, it's all Islam and the NEP and everything under the sun would sort itself out. I am sorry to say this - but Islam and the NEP may be the cause of the undoing of the Malaysian Malay. There is nothing wrong with religion or affirmative action. But, like everything else in life, they must be taken in moderation and with a pinch of salt. A little doubt is good. Unfortunately in Malaysia , emotions over Islam have overcome reason. What we see today is the result of the NEP and Islamisation policies of the past thirty years or so. No one owes Malaysian Malays a living. Let me assure you that should Malaysia fail - the Malaysian Malay will suffer enormously. And rightly so. After all - they have been pampered with all sorts of goodies over the years. They cannot now expect more goodies. Perhaps the day of reckoning for them, is near. Whatever it is, Malaysia had better wake up to the realities around her. The globalised world of the 21st century has no NEP to offer the Malaysian Malay. And humans cannot live by religion alone.

Regards, Dr Syed Alwi

881:木瓜姐妹。。。华丽的七月。。。

前几天和同事去看这部电影，看看下睡着了。。其实不是因为这部电影很闷，而是因为太累了，原因是我们在下班后就赶去电影院，那时都已经是九点钟了，毕竟是首映，而且是受邀的，所以还是要去。。说真的，这部电影整体来说还拍得蛮不错的，它是一部音乐剧，唱得是闽南语，整个电影的背景及颜色蛮不错，故事情节有喜有悲，所以是值得看的一部戏。。但我还是漏看了一小段。。太累了，没办法。。嘻嘻。。大家不妨去看一看。。还有，它里头的闽南语歌还蛮不错的。。
