How will Jolin and Tai celebrate?

Holidays and weekends usually means more prep and long hours for anyone in the F & B industry, and Jolin and Tai are no exception.

If you have visited Warmbread before, you will appreciate how hard Jolin and Tai work on their menu. From prepping dough to baking bread and making dessert, every little step counts. After a year and a half of intensive long hours in the industry, Jolin and Tai are now trying to achieve a better work life balance. The couple would try to relax by taking a day off monthly to visit their favourite restaurant in To Kwan Wan just to be with each other.

When we visited Jolin and Tai last Tuesday - the couple’s regular day off - there was a lot of laughter, joy and wonderful smells emitted but the cooking seafood broth during the interview. When we wrapped up the interview with a question on food pairing recommendation, their answer is craft beer to match with their handmade breads, as the process and ingredients are similar.

Homemade bread is their most popular item on the menu, but not the only thing that’s awesome. Do pay the couple a visit to try out their heartwarming menu.

互撐夥伴【溫飽】專訪（二） - 平凡卻最重要

你我作為打工仔，講起公眾假期梗係開心，只要有得放假就要慶祝，但對於從事飲食業嘅Jolin同阿泰嚟講「公眾假期我哋就係應戰mode，慣咗心理會有準備，因為個個都放假個個都入嚟西貢」

對於日日做到冇停手嘅兩小口，冇咩特別嘅日子先係可以慶祝嘅日子。所以每個月佢哋都會定一日，放低工作，返去以前居住嘅土瓜灣，食番成日掛住嘅功夫菜小店*，好好休息、好好享受自己鍾意嘅美食，或者都係藉呢個機會，好好感謝對方「真係好攰，有日我哋對住個menu，原來我哋要整嘅嘢有四十幾樣，因為我哋好微細嘅食材都會親自處理，小到例如糖水都自己溝過，其實好簡單，但好多簡單嘅嘢加埋就唔簡單，然後麵包、甜品又要好長時間」

阿泰又表示「成日都嗌交，都好攰但都仲有力嗌」

然後兩人會心微笑，日子唔簡單，但慶幸每日都有對方陪伴

訪問當日係個普通嘅星期二，亦係溫飽例休日子，Jolin同阿泰邊食晏邊熬製海鮮湯底邊回答問題，你一言我一語，默契十足，歡笑聲不斷，難得放假佢哋亦有計劃要出城玩，所以我哋都快快手問埋佢哋嘅food pairing推介「手工啤，都係酵母、小麥，同麵包係同一樣嘢，不過佢係liquid，我都有試過用啤酒整麵包」

高要求嘅佢哋又點會局限自己丫，佢哋仲成日將其他唔同嘅酒放入甜品食譜，想知係咩就記得親身去試喇

*備註：

1. 為咗保存呢份浪漫，先唔公開餐廳名喇，大家有興趣就自己問佢哋啦
2. 雖然阿泰冇乜節日嘅儀式感，好少慶祝，生日都冇食蛋糕，不過會食月餅，咁大家知佢大概幾時生日啦，記得請佢食冰皮呀
