用 A 的語言來說，我跟男朋友應該不是「吃貨」類。我們都愛吃，都能吃，但不是太「會吃」。基本上我們只懂用幾種形容詞：１）好不好吃、２）便宜不便宜、３）新鮮否、４）會否再來……
Not that good at describing or commenting food as compared to Angie, but I guess it won't hurt to share my experience with food anyway. My boyfriend, J5, and I are food consumers. We have good appetites, we like food, but the way we judge food are basically how 'good' they taste, how 'fresh' they seem, is the quality worthy of the price, and whether we'd come back...

| My seafood Fusilli |
上周末我提議去逛（前）十蚊店，經過我一番思量後，決定去佐敦上海街地庫的分店。
＊題外話：那間店通道非常狹窄，但貨品十分齊全！＊
男朋友（為方便起見，以下稱 J5）想到，我們吃過幾次的 Marco's （openrice）對面有一打著＜基督徒＞旗號的咖啡店／餐廳，上次經過但沒有吃。於是我倆就（終於）光顧了。［合一］（openrice）的名字，根據我不可靠的印象，是因為該店是天主教徒跟新教徒合資的……
Last Saturday we decided to visit Jordan for some shopping (Jusco Living Plaza FYI), hence we went to this United Cafe Restaurant (openrice), which we have passed by but never been to. It's named after the concept of Unity of Christian, as I believe this cafe is co-owned by Catholic(s) and Protestant(s). This is located opposite to one of our favourite restaurants for dates, Marco's (openrice) - may talk about that in the future.

J5 - 套餐：餐湯，頭盤，燒春雞，甜品，咖啡＞升級為特飲
J1（就是我）- 單點：蕃茄海鮮螺絲粉，咖啡
餐湯：沒拍照，普通。
頭盤：（首圖）火腿當然沒有我在西班牙吃的香，煙三文魚也是一般級數，沙律倒是挺新鮮的。
燒雞：沒拍照，很好吃。有人特欣賞伴碟的紫番薯蓉。春雞很小一隻，非常嫩，調味適當。
海鮮螺絲粉：（圖二）還好。以它七十多塊的價錢，不值得再吃。
甜品：法式焦糖燉蛋，敗筆。極度難吃，不冷不熱，甜得恐怖。
＊還有插曲：服務員跟我們說套餐的甜品是芝士餅，轉頭送來的卻是燉蛋！？我們一再詢問才對我們說芝士餅送完了，一聲不好意思都沒。我不計較它們貨不對辦，問題不在送的是什麼（因為我們挺嗜甜的），而在「前言不對後語」，要換貨也總不能把客人蒙在鼓裡吧！？＊
特飲：朱古力咖啡，大愛。我愛新鮮的奶油／忌廉和咖啡的配搭。其實特飲是我點的，因為跟著餐加錢比較划算所以另外點一杯 house coffee 給 J5。
咖啡：有人是咖啡精，不過因為健康問題被女友限制服用，所以只要皇恩浩蕩讓他喝，就好。 XD
I'm not good at memorising the names for dishes, nor did I jot down their individual price, hence I'm just gonna run through the dishes we had with brief notes. J5 ordered a set with a grilled baby chicken, and I got a seafood fusilli in tomato sauce.
- soup with set: just okay.
- appetizer with set: decent, as pictured above, you can see it came with smoked salmon, spanish jamon, and salad.
- grilled baby chicken: J5 was a big fan of the side-dish, mashed sweet potato (purple colour). The chicken itself was tiny and very tender, nicely seasoned and grilled.
- seafood fusilli: okay. doesn't taste different enough.
- creme brulee: RUBBISH! it was neither cold NOR warm, the burnt sugar on top was wet and so un-fresh. The egg beneath was heavily sweetened. ((I don't care if it was supposed to be cheesecake or creme brulee, it shouldn't taste so bad!?!?))
- ice mocha: love. I am a fan of fresh whipped cream with ice coffee. The coffee itself was lovely and I can see they put effort in the blend.
- house coffee: J5's coffee intake is under my control, due to health reasons. He is a big coffee-addict and he has tried a lot of coffees. the 'united' house blend is accpetable in his opinion.

消費： 兩人合共約＄３４０
總結：可能比較適合喝（下午）茶，不建議晚飯去。
Actually, I would not recommend this cafe for dinner. Their coffee is nice. I like the concept behind the name (Unity of Christian), but I feel like being robbed after spending nearly USD40 for such a mediocre meal.
