Attraction to the simpler things in life is exactly me. Was this place made just for sailorfoodie? The obvious answer to that question is no...but why...why does my heart and stomach disagree with that logic.  With my body crouched inwards from the strong cold winds on a dark Autumn night, my head slowly and unbearably tilted upwards as I approached the entrance. The warm light was trying to pull me closer but yet I stood frozen on the sidewalk in pure awe of the majestic storefront.  How could this be possible. I was chilled to the bones a second ago but yet, I no longer felt cold. The energy radiating from inside the restaurant pierced right through the spacious open windows straight into my eyes, consuming my entire being. Frozen in place yet ignited with fire. I breathed in, I breathed out, savoring the the pure beauty of what was before me, in that present moment. Little did I know, my dining experience already started and I haven't even consumed anything physicall...

Drawing on Sun Tzu's The Art of War: "The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting." If I was the enemy, then the art of coffee has me subdued every.single.time.  There would be no fighting , there would be no battles.  Because coffee knows itself and most importantly coffee know the enemy, me. The aromatic smells of coffee moves swift as the wind but closely formed as the wood. Coffee is dark and impenetrable as night, and when you taste it, the flavor hits you like a thunderbolt.  One sip of coffee can attack your five sense like fire but yet, coffee itself is still as the mountain. There are not more than five cardinal tastes (sour, acrid, salt, sweet, bitter), yet a combination of them in coffee, yield more flavors than can ever be tasted.  How can coffee be extremely subtle, even to the point of formlessness. How can coffee be extremely mysterious, even to the point of soundlessness. Because coffee knows that the whole secret lies in confusi...
