對於芬蘭人而言,喝咖啡吃甜點是一定要坐下來好好享受的重要大事,所以幾乎所有的手搖店也入境隨俗設有座位區,即使只有一兩張桌子,即使還是使用外帶杯。我花了好一番功夫和身邊的芬蘭人們解釋,手搖通常是拿來邊走邊喝,或是做事時順手拿來喝一口的,算是享受和效率同時存在的產物。即使我住在臺灣的時候其實幾乎不喝手搖,反而是在芬蘭才開始喝手搖解鄉愁,也要大力推廣我們的文化。
For Finns, drinking coffee and having cakes or pastries are so important that you have to sit down and enjoy. When bubble tea shops open here, almost every one of them have seats, to adapt to the culture, although the drinks are still served in to-go cups. I've been explaining to my Finnish friends, that bubble tea is something you usually drink as you go, or have it in reach, grab and sip when you work. It is a combination of enjoyment and efficiency. Actually, I rarely drank bubble tea when I lived in Taiwan. It was only after I moved Finland that I drink bubble tea when I feel nostalgic. Even so, I'm still very keen on introducing my culture.
赫爾辛基市中心開了一家嚕嚕米手搖店,就在 Lasipalatsi 的嚕嚕米商店的隔壁。店面小小的座位不多,兩次去都是高朋滿座,雖然沒有剛開幕的時候那般大排長龍,但也都需要稍微排隊等待點餐,位子則是等不到直接外帶,以赫爾辛基的規模來說,著實非常熱門。
A new bubble tea shop had opened in central Helsinki. It is a Moomin themed bubble tea shop located right next to the Moomin shop in Lasipalatsi. The shop is not so big, with only a couple of tables. Although not as crazy as on the opening day, there is alway a bit of queue for ordering, and I was not able to get a seat on both of my visits. In Helsinki scale, it is indeed a really popular spot.
第一次點了黑糖芋頭燕麥奶茶,選擇了紅茶且不加珍珠。口感豐厚滑順,芋味夠濃我喜歡。我在點餐的最後問,這樣杯子上會有紅屋頂嗎?店員人超好,即使這杯不包含在可以有紅屋頂的特定飲料品項內,因為我勇敢地問了,他就特別幫我加了紅屋頂。第二次是暑假的第一天,在市中心走了一圈最後來一大杯檸檬茉莉綠茶收尾,酸甜清爽解暑補水,濃濃的茶味和花香讓我喟歎,這真的很臺灣!
On my first visit, I ordered a brown sugar taro milk tea, with black tea and oar milk, without bubbles. It was rich and smooth, full of taro flavour and very satisfying. I asked after ordering whether I would get a red roof on top of my cup. The staff was so nice to give my drink a red roof despite that it wasn't not included in the specific drinks that come with red roofs. My second visit was on the fist day of our summer vacation. After walking around in the centre, we concluded the afternoon with a large cup of fresh lemon tea. Sweet and sour ,so refreshing and hydrating. The prominent floral and tea notes felt so Taiwanese.
應該是嚕嚕米的可愛加成,本來就很令人心情愉悅的飲料療癒更上一層樓,看看杯子上三隻並排喝飲料多逗趣!
The extra cuteness of Moomins made the already pleasant drinks even more comforting. Look at those three adorable Moomintrolls on the cup taking a sip together!
