This colorful grilled cheese looks like it belongs in a My Little Pony show, but it’s actually a real treat that’s all the rage in Hong Kong. It’s called the Rainbow Sandwich and consists of two slices of bread four different types of cheese, flavorings and, obviously, a lot of food dye.
這種五顏六色的烤乳酪三明治看起來像是《彩虹小馬》電影里的所屬物;但事實上它已經(jīng)成為香港的一種時尚,可以讓我們大飽口福。它被稱為彩虹三明治,由兩片面包和四種不同風(fēng)味的奶酪制成,顯然里面也有很多食用染料。
The sandwich, a creation of Kala Toast, recently got its five minutes of fame after an Instagram user posted a photograph of the snack along with a brief review on his account. It got shared by his fans and eventually went viral after being picked up by major websites.
一位Instagram用戶在他的賬戶上貼出了一張彩虹三明治的照片,并附上了簡短的評論;在這之后,卡洛吐司的這款新品三明治就很快流行起來。他的帖子被粉絲們分享了,然后又被各大網(wǎng)站轉(zhuǎn)載了,最終它就像病毒一般擴(kuò)散開來。
According to the Hong Kong food blogger, the sandwich costs 42 HKD (a little over $5), and contains different flavors corresponding to the different colors – “lavender (blue), basil (green), tomato (red) and the yellow one is actually a combination of 4 different kinds of cheese (mozzarella, cheddar, emmental, and gruyere).”
根據(jù)香港美食博客的說法,這種三明治的售價為42港元(5美元多一點(diǎn)),包含的不同顏色對應(yīng)著不同味道——“薰衣草的味道(藍(lán)色)、羅勒的香味(綠色)、番茄的味道(紅色)以及黃色對應(yīng)的一種味道,其實就是4種不同的奶酪組合(莫薩里拉奶酪、切達(dá)干酪、艾曼塔爾干酪以及格魯耶爾干酪)。”
“The toast was crispy but I reckon both the flavour of the lavender and tomato were subtle,” the blogger described. “The basil flavour was the most outstanding one comparatively but the cheese flavour was still not as strong as my expectation. It was also a bit oily in general. I would say the quality was rather average but we all cannot deny that it is photogenic.”
“這種吐司很酥脆,不過我認(rèn)為薰衣草和番茄的味道很淡,”博主如是說。“比較而言,羅勒的香味最突出,但是奶酪的香味還是沒有我期待的那么濃,而且通常也有點(diǎn)油膩。我想說,質(zhì)量也就一般般,但是我們都不能否認(rèn)它很上鏡。”
So it may not be the tastiest grilled cheese sandwich in the world, but it’s definitely the most colorful and judging by its popularity in Hong Kong, that matters more.
因此它可能不會成為世界上最美味的烤芝士三明治。但從在香港的受歡迎程度來看,它一定是香港最富有特色的三明治了,相比而言,這更重要。
