The weather is fine in Phnom Penh these days, and more often than not, I find myself pining for a cup of coffee or a soothing bowl of soup. Mmmm..
The rainy season has indeed begun, and while I could sit here and talk about the weather and how lightning in Cambodia terrifies the heck out of me, let us leave that for another day and lets talk about something I know nothing about.. Coffee.
I LOVE COFFEE.
Do you love coffee? I love coffee. I crave coffee, I have headaches when I am out of caffeine for a month or so. Yes, I am not that addicted to coffee though, which is good news.
I recently learned that there are a gazillion types of coffee in the world. I used to be more of a 3-in-1 (instant coffee) gal before my new work place spoiled my taste buds and now for some reason packet coffee just doesn't taste the same anymore. Oh woe is me.
But can I tell you a secret? I don't know what I am drinking.
If somebody asks me, I'd say 1/4 coffee + milk + a bit of sugar... LOL but what does it all mean?
I think I'm drinking caffe latte. But I am not sure.. I wish it was cappuccino, but I am pretty sure I'm not drinking cappuccino. So maybe its a variant of caffe latte or maybe cafe au lait, cafe con leche, koffie verkeerd, kawa biala, and blah blah blah.
Either way, it is coffee - some form of it. With an equal amount of milk because without it, I get migraines. Also, it must have a bit of sugar - because I am sweet. LOL
To be perfectly honest, I am not some kind of coffee connoisseur. I am but plebeian with acquired tastes.
So this is coffee for me.
Someday, I wish to be come more acquainted with tea and perhaps cross the line from caffeine-veined to tea-veined.
So, can you tell me more about coffee in your world? Is it good?
P.S., I would really like to try Kopi Luwak. Blame it on the Bucket List movie. LOL
