位於勤美誠品附近巷弄裡的小店「圓環咖啡」,是我難得再訪數次的愛店。最初朋友帶我來此,我就被帶有英國風味的獨特料理吸引;由於想嘗試的餐點和飲品種類太多,因此便趁著只要有朋友約相聚台中,就以此處為碰面之處。然而因為好吃到每次同一道菜(至於是哪道,就待下周分曉)都想再吃一次,因此至今尚未蒐集完成。這份三明治,就是我終於下定決心不再點同一道所嘗試的新料理。
芥末、培根、起司、蛋簡直是我所愛的集大成,在熱壓三明治的包夾之下,濃郁的口感讓人回味無窮;薯塊和新鮮沙拉的點綴增添了飽足感,非常有英式風情。配上一杯我最愛的卡布情濃(他們家的卡布奇諾之美味的確會讓人喝出濃厚情感),就是一頓美味簡便的早午餐。因兩位經營者也自英國留學歸國,共有英國留學經驗的我感到莫名的親切;於是我用咖啡色的代針筆描線,再用水彩上色,整體的顏色偏暖,表現出我感受到的:英國留學的回憶再度浮現腦海,各種歡笑時刻聚集的溫暖。
I had this sandwich at Roundabout Cafe seated in a lane around CMP Eslite Parkland. Several years ago my friend brought me here for lunch, and I was attracted by their English-style dishes right away. It was hard to find a restaurant serving English food in Taichung. So I came here again and again with different friends to introduce my beloved cafe. I love some of the dishes and drinks so much that I gave up trying other items when I went there again. As I had the food here, my memories of studying in the UK flooded back. I hope I’ll go there again soon!😍😋😝
