Sometimes, when life is busy and monotonous, we often feel like experiencing food from other cultures like curry. It's almost supernatural with its enticing and unique aroma and flavor, capturing our sense of taste. Curry can go with all sorts of food: beef, pork, chicken, seafood, and even vegetarian dishes. To complement such wild and diverse flavors, I like to pair curry with Dongding Oolong tea. This tea is from my mother's hometown of Nantou, Taiwan, and it has a very consistent and familiar taste, due to the tea leaf selection, fermentation, and roasting all adhering to a strict and precise process.
When overwhelmed with the unencumbered taste of curry, the contrast grounds our taste buds until the rich curry delivers its next punch. The contradictory effect brings out the best in both of them.
當生活忙錄但沈悶的時候，有時就是想吃咖喱，它似乎有一種魔力，透過舌尖的強烈而特殊的香氣和味道，帶走我們的味蕾，進入『超現實』，紅，黃，綠咖喱各有特色。Curry可以和各種食材搭配，牛豬雞肉，海鮮，甚至素菜。
這樣狂野的味道，我們喜歡搭配凍頂烏龍茶來喝。 凍頂烏龍是來自我老家：南投的茶，它很穩重，葉型，烘培，發酵，都是中規中矩的『好學生』，它將狂野的Curry看似矛盾，但每一次喝它，它將人類的味蕾帶回現實，然後，再衝一波，相得益彰。
