Vanilla Coke

People said I am very into acquired taste, like Mountain dew, Cherry coke. Indeed I enjoy having them but it doesnt affect my judgement on the drinks. Vanilla coke is another so-called acquired flavour. Fairly speaking it is not that bad, a slightly different taste gives a twist to the ordinary coke is absolutely refreshing.

Cranberry Ribena 利賓納又一新口味

Again another popular Hong Kong beverage - Ribena. Cranberry is quite a nice try mixing with blackcurrent. Sweetness is slightly above average, while the little bit sourness is a good match.

Honey Pear Tea from Malay 源自馬拉的蜂蜜雪梨茶

來得便宜,期望亦不要過高. 說不出是否清潤,感覺就是合宜的甜,香味不足,只算是合格之作.

Crystal Clear Jasmine tea 清幽茉莉茶

Jasmine tea is always mild, natural, which always calm me down from the hectic life in Hong Kong. This bottle is quite a plain one tastewise, personally i dislike tea with strong flavour and this one is good enough for me.

Guava from Mainland 內地的番石榴汁


買內地飲料有如抽獎, 時好時壞,這次來一個算是安慰獎. 番石榴汁做得好不易, 味道校得不好會有變壞的感覺.幸好這個都不賴.

Lemon Berry Less Sweet Less sweet more sour 少甜多酸檸檬利賓納

少甜的好處確實可以吸引不少健康客戶的市場,妙飲家自少也很愛飲利記飲料,只因當年葡萄適太酸,在院時總要求要紫色的一瓶才開心,感覺純個人喜好.新包裝新口味,加了檸檬,未免酸了一點,也許是為了討新客人歡喜吧.

All time favorite - Winter Honey with Lime 全年喜愛 -冬蜜青檸

If asked to recommand something suitable for all seasons, I would definitely give you this - Winter honey with Lime. Heat it in winter, you will have a throat-soothing honey drink; while freezing it during summer the lime is so refreshing. So far I can't see any better in local market.

有甚麼可以全年合飲?我想到了這一款冬蜜青檸.冬天暖一暖的冬蜜飲料男女老幼都喜愛;夏天冰一冰青檸的刺激提神醒胃,你道本地還有甚麼比它更全能?

Chemical reaction with melon 蜜瓜化學反應

瓶底一句無果汁炭酸飲料,心知不妙,準是化學合成的飲品.明知山有虎,偏向虎山行,就要了這瓶,入口化學味又不算強,也不似果汁,是蜜瓜糖化水的感覺,還有氣泡.不賴.

Longan with black fungus 木耳桂圓


秋冬飲了太多潤肺飲料,這年冬天總算健康度過,要數盡所有飲料,倒要花不少時間.這個木耳桂圓也是難得的妙飲.木耳味不算太強,木耳本身亦有降膽固醇的作用,妙飲家家裡就常常有濃得要命的木耳水來降降膽固醇,這個味道得宜,甜度亦中規中矩.想找健康飲料的朋友,這瓶木耳桂圓是一個好選擇.

Happiness in a Thai tea bottle 泰式拉茶的快感



I was attracted by the the bottle, "Happiness in a bottle", yet it is too happy and way too sweet on this experience. Creamy indeed yet the extraordinary richness on flavour is quite too much for me. Cane sugar plus full cream milk sounds nice but you shall prepare to have a strong sensation on your tongue.

瓶子上的快樂字句把我留住,瓶子內的過度濃厚感覺卻又令我卻步. 香滑又極馥郁,偏生強得我受不了.快感也不能太過. 蔗糖加全脂奶不是人人可以消受,飲前倒要有些心理準備.

Artificial Medicine 人工藥水

妙飲家曾在加拿大住過一段日子,曾瘋狂地喜歡車厘子味可樂,反觀人人也怕了,也許就是那藥水的味道嚇怕了人,然而喜歡的卻又津津有味.這一瓶當真是好此道者至愛. 我也巴不得多買兩瓶在家.

How kiwi! Golden kiwi! 點解金奇異?


I enjoy looking for something new to stimulate my toungue bud, this Golden Kiwi is certainly an interesting exploration. I found it from a newly established 7eleven while looking for beers with my cousin. Very good for chilling. The most interesting thing in this bottle is the word listed "summer edition".

夏季系列的仙地竟然在冬日發售倒奇異,事情比它用金奇異果更為奇異,是有趣的新嘗試.

Where had all the flowers gone? 花落知多少?

Sparkling water is often my leisure company, while the wide-ranged variety often gives me surprise whenever shopping around the supermarket. This time I got this elegant purple bottle. Pomergranate and elderflower is quite a good match, fragrant and tenderly sour. It gives you such a relax feeling of lightness.

接骨木花襯石榴果子的果樣水有獨特芳香,輕飄飄的感覺自然而又舒適,作為我今天伴讀的飲料確實不錯.

In search of Sea-coconut 尋找海底之椰


香港的特飲千奇百怪,但海底椰的飲料確實不多,這一枝雪耳川貝海底椰,海底椰也是配角,加之有無花果糖水等隱藏配角之類,戲份大量減少. 甜是甜,潤是潤,但就是說不上作我冬日的喜愛....

Wolfberry Special 杞菊蘆薈蜜

It was a surprise while I take the very first sip, tenderly sweet and soothing. It is made up of Cane sugar, aloe juice, chrysanthemum, Wolfberry, fig, longan and honey.

蔗糖,蘆薈汁,菊花,枸杞,無花果,桂圓肉及天然蜂蜜,東拚西湊竟然又有一番味道. 甘甜而清潤的感覺是意外的冬日小發現.

Honey Honey Honey 蜜糖兒

It is a weird beer. Honey Dew is indeed full of aroma. Every sip is a pleasure. Even you are not a beer-lover, you will enjoy it.

怪奇飲料中,這蜜糖啤酒倒是表表者.每一口都有蜜香,也是享受,不愛啤酒的也值得一嚐.
