Not what I would have expected to find on offer to the Thesen Island set but once again a nice touch from Ile de pain. These days it is difficult to know what is and what isn’t a good coffee. One runs the gauntlet of knowing looks, nodding heads and rolling eyes and most of the coffee connoisseurs I know haven’t the faintest idea what good coffee should taste like. And now, its coffee and condensed milk. Ca-phe nau nong, an honest brew which is the stock in trade of street vendors across SE Asia and if there is anything that should blow all that intellectual snobbery right out of the window this is it. Or will it? But at least I have found what I really do like, a shot of strong coffee sitting comfortably on a bed of condensed milk.
