Want to open your own coffee shop?

Have you ever thought of opening your own coffee shop for the following reasons?

- Wanted to be free to do something that I love
- Wanted to be free to set my own schedule
- Wanted to spend my time getting to know people
- Wanted to get some " free " coffee. :-)
- Wanted to be your own boss

For whatever reasons, there must be good planning before kicking off.

In Hong Kong, coz of the high rent price, people like to choose to set up coffee shops upstairs. One of the pros is relatively lower rent, but its con is less traffic of customers. So location is very important. What else?

Hmmm, suppliers of coffee beans? Renovation of the shop? Where to buy the coffee machines? What will be inside the menu? Any food other than coffee? How many staff to hire? Budget? Cash? How to make a cup of good coffee?....................thousands of questions and problems you need to solve or think of before any idea put into action.

Good to take some lessons or read books or talk to experienced friends before you really get started.

Wish your coffee shop to be succeed in sooner future!

Moon cake festival

Moon Cake Festival: A Mid-Autumn Festival (Chung Chiu), the very major and important festival of the Chinese calendar, is celebrated on the 15th day of the eighth month. This festival corresponds to harvest festivals observed by Western cultures (in Hong Kong, it is held in conjunction with the annual Lantern Festival).

Traditionally, on this day, Chinese family members and friends will gather to admire the bright mid-autumn harvest moon, and eat moon cakes and pomeloes together. Accompanying the celebration, there are additional cultural or regional customs, such as:

* Eating moon cakes outside under the moon
* Putting pomelo rinds on one's head
* Carrying brightly lit lanterns, lighting lanterns on towers, floating sky lanterns
* Burning incense in reverence to deities including Chang'e (simplified Chinese: 嫦娥; traditional Chinese: 嫦娥; pinyin: cháng'é)
* Planting Mid-Autumn trees
* Collecting dandelion leaves and distributing them evenly among family members
* Fire Dragon Dances

Shops selling mooncakes, before the festival, often display pictures of Chang'e floating to the moon.

This festival is also known as the Moon Cake Festival because a special kind of sweet cake (yueh ping) prepared in the shape of the moon and filled with sesame seeds, ground lotus seeds and duck eggs is served as a traditional Chung Chiu delicacy.



Nowadays, shops are selling different taste of mook cake, like: starwberry, mango, pineapple, red beans, coffee, ice-cream, nuts, durian, peanuts, snow-skin..........etc etc

Cappuccino

My favourite coffee - Cappuccino

History

Cappuccino is an Italian coffee drink prepared with espresso, hot milk, and steamed-milk foam. A cappuccino as such differs from a caffe latte in that it is prepared with much less steamed or textured milk than the caffe latte, with the total of espresso and milk/foam making up between approximately 150 ml and 180 ml (5 and 6 fluid ounces). The European cappuccino often differs in volume from the version found in US commercial coffee chains, as the coffee chain cappuccino is more often served as a 12 oz drink. A cappuccino is traditionally served in a porcelain cup, which has far better heat-retention characteristics than glass or paper cup. The foam on top of the cappuccino acts as an insulator and helps retain the heat of the liquid, allowing it to stay hotter longer.
