Who would have thought that one of Hong Kong's best cafés is in out-of-the-way Kwai Fong? Tucked inside an obscure corner of a teeming neighborhood mall, Soulmate is a tiny place, not really much more than a counter with some stools.
谁会想到远离市区的葵芳竟有着香港最好的咖啡店之一?在一个热闹的购物商场一处隐秘的角落,你会发现很小的Soulmate,店内最大只有吧台的几个位子。
The savings on rent are obviously being passed on to the customers: at just HK$19 for a takeaway cappuccino, this is definitely the best-value café in town. The coffee is locally roasted by Coffee Assembly, and its flavor profile is fairly simple and accessible.
省下的租金当然嘉惠给顾客:每杯外卖的卡布奇诺只售港币19元,课的是全城最优惠的价格。咖啡是由本地的Coffee Assembly烘焙,其风味朴实而且大众化。
But what sets it apart from other cafés using the same beans is that Soulmate's baristas are thorough, disciplined and meticulous. The espresso is expertly pulled and the milk is velvety smooth and heated just enough to bring out the sweetness.

然而让Soulmate脱颖而出的原因是其咖啡师一丝不苟的严谨态度。咖啡师熟练地烹调爱思巴苏,牛奶如丝般顺滑,熟度刚好带出咖啡的香甜。
