Try as I might, I’m yet to find a single half-decent cafe latte anywhere in Chengdu. I’m told this is because all the cafes use UHT milk, which is reasonable (I certainly don’t want to drink local milk after all the melamine crap) but depressing. I guess it’s either switch to macchiato or drink tea.
BTW, I’m not overly excited about spending 400 bucks on a coffee machine, since I’ve been drinking plunger coffee for years and really like it. But it would make my girlfriend insanely happy so am definitely considering it as an anniversary gift : )
Merry Xmas, by the way : )
