日與夜的”東方旅程”— Mandarin Oriental,Bangkok 曼谷文華東方酒店Author's Lounge下午茶與The Bamboo Bar 經典調酒－良好印象傳媒 Favorable Impression Media @FIMMEDIA

午後，陽光斜斜地透過玻璃天頂撒入室內，我坐在白色籐椅沙發上，一邊啜飲著茶、一邊感受著Author's Lounge百年的殖民建築的風韻，置於其中，不自覺地優雅了起來；夜晚，我步入了重新裝修的Bamboo Bar，喝著Bartender為我精心特調的雞尾酒，時間彷彿停駐在曼谷文華東方酒店裡，愜意地讓人流連忘返。(內含HD影音直擊)

Author's Residence是一棟兩層樓的建築，擁有138年歷史的「她」，卻絲毫不受歲月的侵擾，依然清新美麗。襯著翠綠的竹子和棕梠樹，讓象牙白色系的裝潢顯得高貴典雅！

一樓是非常知名的下午茶室Author's Lounge，是為了紀念多年來曾踏入曼谷文華東方酒店大門的知名作家而命名。

所以這裡還附設有閱讀空間，世界知名文豪的相片排列在牆上，正前方大器的書桌和書櫃，讓此處充滿了濃濃的文學氣息。

二樓則是許多名流文豪曾經入住的Author's Wing(作家翼)，如果想要參觀這裡的”歷史走廊”，得特別跟酒店事先預約。

這裡的下午茶有兩種選擇，一種是傳統的Traditional set、另一種是泰式的下午茶，都是三層的點心再附上茶品。

不管選擇哪一種，都會先給客人先來上泰式的Sorbet，含有桑椹在內的''椰漿紅寶石”雪葩，先清洗你的味蕾，接下來才開始進行午茶的饗宴。

最上層Scone有三種不同口味的手工果醬，包括草莓、藍莓、無花果及鮮奶油，可以沾著每種果醬來嘗試。

第二層草莓奶酪、烤布丁、水果塔、巧克力蛋糕以及巧克力磚；

第三層的重點則在三明治，擁有鮪魚、培根、小黃瓜以及蛋等三明治、再加上咖哩餃，甜鹹混搭，一直是這裡的午茶招牌。

另一款Thai set，

第一層也是Scon和糕點，只不過是檸檬草混合薑口味的；

第二層則以泰式小點心為主，

第三層則是三明治。

正統的英式下午茶的擺盤順序，應該將Scone放中間，蛋糕、布丁、水果塔放最上面，食用順序則是由下而上，讓味道由淡變重，由鹹而甜。不過現代人不再墨守成規，全憑你的喜好而定!

文華主打的是Mariage Frères紅茶，Mariage Frères是來自法國的百年品牌，為文華精心特調的茶品，一入口就可以感覺非常順口，搭配英式茶點剛剛好，不過另外也有伯爵茶、奶茶…等選擇。

下午茶時段，通常會有表演者用吉他演奏深情款款的樂曲，別忘了一邊品茶、一邊感受Author's Lounge營造出來的優雅浪漫的氣息！(據說這位表演者，已經在此表演近二十年了。)

相較於無人不知的 Authors’ Wing，Bamboo Bar也是文華東方重要的地標，因為它結合了熱情、醉人優雅、以及東方酒店和曼谷豐富歷史的神髓。

酒保非常貼心地先詢問我的口味，我說想要微酸微甜、中等酒精濃度，然後一杯名為” Avant-garde”清爽的招牌雞尾酒就端上來了，我在此喝著bartender的愛心調酒、聆聽著爵士樂，舒緩了一整天旅途的疲憊。

從 1953 年默默無名到現在，Bamboo Bar 的規模和名氣與日俱增，在 2014 年底，酒吧暫停營業，作大型翻新、重組、重塑全新的 Bamboo Bar，同時也保留了獨特的歷史和風格。

把竹子的元素充分運用在吧台、椅子和天花板，並保留了舊式的黑籐椅和豹紋圖案，看起來新潮、又不失懷舊的質感，這裡也有大量可以選擇的單一蘇格蘭麥芽威士忌品牌，不過最招牌的還是它們的特調雞尾酒。

雞尾酒單上保留了 Khun Sompong Boosri 原創的 Bamboo Bar 精選，以及忠於傳統配方調製的經典飲品。Mirko 原創新品是集合傳統與現代風格，完美調和的大師級飲品，絕對配得上稱爲傳奇。調酒類區分為異域香甜(Exotic & Sweet)、摩登迷惑(Sophisticated & Contemporary)、成熟穩重(Mature & Robust)以及芳醇水果(Fruity & Mellow)等系列，特別推薦兩款如下：

Bamboo Bar

The Bamboo Bar is a landmark that personifies the passion, seductive elegance and spirit of both The Oriental Hotel and Bangkok’s rich history.

From humble beginnings in 1953 in what is now the hotel’s renowned Authors’ Wing, The Bamboo Bar grew in size and reputation to become an international legend. In late 2014, the bar closed for an extensive renovation, intended to propel this iconic establishment into the future whilst preserving its unique history and unique character.

Welcome to the new Bamboo Bar - refreshed, remixed and reinvented.

Award winning mixologist Mirko Gardelliano is the driving force behind the beverage and liquor concept. Khun Sompong Boosri’s Bamboo Bar Originals retain their Signature status on the cocktail list, along with the Classics that are mixed according to their original recipes. Mirko’s new Originals - masterful blends of legacy and tradition with modernity and innovation - are set to become legends in their own right.
