昨日寫外國同事在公司「擎天」買「拿鐵」咖啡的趣事時,提到一個比喻,說在中式「擎天」買這些特色咖啡,好比在美國中部田納西州的所謂中國擬]叫一杯鐵觀音般,相當冒險。
美國田納西州我沒有去過,卻有位好朋友正住在那邊。這位 K 君原在美國西岸某名牌大學執教鞭,最近轉工去了田納西州另一所大學,主理一個研究所,發展不俗;但他卻要付出一個殘酷的代價──吃不到真正的中國食物、港式食品!
以往他任職西岸名校時,去三藩市唐人街多過我去旺角,蝦餃燒賣西多士菠蘿油等港式食物,從不缺糧。自從搬去田納西州的 Nashville 市,就再冇這支歌仔唱。
話說有日他嘗試光顧當地的中國擬],堪稱奇遇。叫一客星洲炒米,一炒出來,居然是紅色的!再來一碟揚州炒飯,又是紅噹噹,倒像港式的西炒飯!一吃之下,都是茄汁味,方發覺這家中國擬]的大廚,居然是墨西哥人!
自此,K 君決定不再吃當地的中國菜,改為周末飛去紐約,一落機就 Call 唐人的士直驅法拉盛大快朵頤,全程都不必講英文!
