Ikhefi elinemilingo nembono yezintaba

Chuncheon Daeryong Sanjang, ngifuna ikhefi lesitayela saseMpumalanga elinombono

Ngangihlelela usuku olulodwa lokuya eGangwon, kodwa kwangena lowo mbuzo ojwayelekile: “siya kuphi?”. Ngacabanga kancane, sagcina sikhetha iChuncheon. Ngalolo suku sasihlele ukugibela i-cable car yaseSamaksan. Kodwa… ukugibela i-cable car kuphela bese ubuyela ekhaya, kukhona okungathi kuyasala, akunjalo? Ngakho sathi, “asidlule futhi siye ekhefi elinendawo enhle.” Ngasesha ngapha nangapha kwaze kwavela le ndawo: Daeryong Sanjang. Igama nje selivele lisho ukuthi le ndawo ayijwayelekile. Ngabona izithombe—ingaphakathi lesitayela saseMpumalanga, nendawo yokuhlala ebuka izintaba. Kodwa into eyangishaya kakhulu wukuthi banemenyu “signature” engajwayelekile: u-ayisikhilimu we-makguksu onefutha le-perilla. Ngathi, “hawu, lokhu kumele ngikuzame!” Ngayifaka khona lapho ohlelweni. Manje ake ngikutshele, ngiqonde ngqo, ukuthi kwenzeka njani lapho sengifikile.

Isango laseDaeryong Sanjang—leya scene efana noSen noChihiro

Ngathi ngifika nje, ngazizwa ngokushesha: kusukela esangweni, le ndawo inamoya ongajwayelekile. Kwaze kwangena engqondweni yami ukuthi, “ngabe lena ikhefi ngempela?”. Umnyango wesitayela saseMpumalanga umi qwa, bese izinhlangothi zombili zinamalambu ayindilinga akhanya kancane. Izihlahla ziningi ziyazungeza, kwenze uzizwe sengathi ungene esigodlweni sezintaba ngaphakathi ehlathini. Ngempela ngikhethe le ndawo ngoba ngifunda ama-blog reviews—bethi akusiyo ikhefi evamile, kodwa “concept” yakhona ihlukile. Kodwa uma uyibona bukhoma, iyayidlula kude into oyibonayo ezithombeni. Uma isango limangazayo kanje, ngaphakathi kuzoba yini? I-excitement yami yakhuphuka masinyane.

Uma usondela, phezulu kubhalwe “大龍山莊”, bese ngakwesokudla kukhona “far east coffee & dessert”. Kodwa lo mnyango… awuzwakali sengathi uke wawubona kwenye indawo? Mina, ngathi ngiwubona, ngakhumbula masinyane uSen noChihiro—leya scene lapho uChihiro edlula emhubheni angena emhlabeni omunye. Kukhona nomzila wamatshe ongene ngaphakathi, bese uthola lowo muzwa ongachazeki, sengathi uma udlula lesi sango, kukhona “umhlaba omunye” ozovuleka.

Ukudlula esangweni—ungathi ungena kwenye indawo

Lona umuzwa uma udlula esangweni uqobo. Ngempela, kwangifana naleso sikhathi uChihiro ehamba emhubheni. Ngaphesheya ubona ingadi notshani obuluhlaza kancane, kodwa lapho usungena, uzwa sengathi indawo yangaphandle iyaphela, kukhona isikhala esisha ngokuphelele esivuleka. Mina ngiyazithanda lezi “setup” zezinzwa, ngakho inhliziyo yami yabe isishaya ngamandla kusukela ekuqaleni.

Ngemuva kokudlula engadini, ngafika phambi kwesakhiwo—kukhanya i-neon ebomvu ethi “大龍山莊”. Umnyango wokhuni uyisikhamo (arched) futhi unephethini yegredi yesitayela saseJapan. Ngathi ngiwubuka, ngazizwa sengathi uma ngiwuvula, i-bathhouse kaYubaba ku-uSen noChihiro izophuma phambi kwami. Phezulu kukhona ilambu eliyindilinga elikhanya kancane, kwenza uzizwe sengathi uyadonswa ungene ngaphakathi. Ngiyavuma, ngime kancane phambi komnyango. “Kungani ngishaya uvalo ngokuvula umnyango wekhefi?” Kungenxa yokuthi le ndawo iyakudonsa—imnandi ngendlela exakile.

Umoya ngaphakathi nekhekhe/bhikawozi

Ngivule umnyango ngingena, ngibona ikhawunta yoku-oda ngqo. Kunombhalo ohlekisayo okhombisa ukuthi “buyisela lapha” (ngomdlalo wamazwi), bese ngakwesobunxele kukhona i-vitrine egcwele amaswidi namabhikawozi. Uphahla lunezinkuni ezibonakalayo, ngakho akuzwakali njengamakhefi ajwayelekile. Ngisho usungenile, umoya wesigodlo sezintaba uyaqhubeka.

Isignesha “soryongpo bread” nebhikawozi elihlukile

Eduze kwekheshi, i-vitrine ibonisa isinkwa sabo esisayinwe—“Daeryong soryongpo bread”. Simile njenge-dumpling, senziwe ngodaka lwamazambane olunesiminyaminya kancane, kanti ngaphakathi bathi kunokugcwaliswa kwamazambane okuthambile. Ibhokisi elinama-6 lingama-₩21,000 (cishe $16), kanti okukodwa cishe ₩4,000 (cishe $3). Bakhona nabokisi bokupakisha izipho, ngakho kube sengathi ungakwazi ukusithatha njengesipho.

Ngakolunye uhlangothi, irakhi yebhikawozi iyaqhubeka futhi izinhlobo ziningi. Kukhona i-yakisoba salt bread, enye enososo we-octopus + umhluzi we-cream cheese, i-custard New York roll, nesinkwa esifana “nesikhwama senhlanhla”. Zonke zixube ngendlela ongayitholi kalula. Ikakhulukazi leso “sikhwama” bathi sinamazambane ne-nurungji (ingxenye yerayisi elishile eliqhathayo), ngacishe ngayithatha. Ngiyavuma, bengifuna ukuzama izinto eziningi, kodwa sasihamba siye ku-cable car, ngakho ngaleso sikhathi ngapasa. Kodwa lapho ngibuyela, ngiyazi ngizozama.

Ibhodi lemenyu—ngabe lena yimenyu yekhefi ngempela?

Manje bheka imenyu. Iyangihlekisa ngoba ayijwayelekile. Ake siqale ngezinto zesignesha: perilla coffee bottle ₩7,800 (cishe $6), i-latte ye-chodang corn dango ₩7,500 (cishe $6), i-nurungji cream latte ₩7,000 (cishe $5), ne-soy bottle ₩7,800 (cishe $6)… Ikhefi kodwa amafutha? nurungji? soy? Yimiphi le mix? Kodwa into ephambili kakhulu ingaphansi: u-ayisikhilimu we-makguksu onefutha le-perilla ₩12,000 (cishe $9). Makguksu emenyu yekhefi—akuhlekisi yini?

Thina asizange sicabange isikhathi eside: sathatha i-perilla coffee bottle no-ayisikhilimu we-makguksu onefutha le-perilla. Ufikile lapha, uma u-oda i-americano ejwayelekile, sengathi uyaphuthelwa inhlonipho ye-“concept”. Amafutha e-perilla nekofi, amafutha e-perilla no-ayisikhilimu—ngangingeke ngingazami. Ngizokutshela ekugcineni ukuthi le mix “yasendle” iyasebenza noma cha.

Uku-oda ku-kiosk—intengo iyabamba kancane, kodwa…

Uku-oda kwenziwa ku-kiosk. Esikrinini, u-ayisikhilimu we-makguksu u-₩12,000 (cishe $9), kanti i-set yawo no-soryongpo bread u-₩15,000 (cishe $11). Ngiyavuma, ukukhokha ngaphezulu kuka-₩10,000 ngo-ayisikhilimu oyedwa kuyabamba. Akusiyo ngisho i-coffee drink, ayisikhilimu! Kodwa ngacabanga: “ngifikile eChuncheon, uma ngingazami isignesha, ngizozisola kakhulu.” Ngathi “yazi yini, ake ngizame” ngacindezela ukukhokha. Ngemva kokukhokha, uthatha ibhuzu elidlidlizayo ekhawunteni.

U-ayisikhilimu we-makguksu onefutha le-perilla—yini le nto?

Nansi ekugcineni. Ake ngiveze “ubuwena” balo ayisikhilimu elingu-₩12,000 (cishe $9), elithi libize ngaphezu kweHaagen-Dazs. Okokuqala, ukubukeka: kuyisikhathi sobuciko. I-paste yesesame emnyama yakhiwe njengemicu ye-makguksu, phezulu kukhona i-kim bugak (i-seaweed snack eqhathayo), i-lotus root ethosiwe, ama-sesame, kuze kube nebhisikidi elimile njengengobolondo. Ngemuva kukhona ibhodlela elincane elinophawu “壽”, futhi yebo—kukhona amafutha e-perilla angempela ngaphakathi. Uthela phezulu, uhlanganise, bese uyadla. Ayisikhilimu namafutha… awuzizwa sengathi “yini le mix?”

Eceleni, uyabona ne-perilla coffee bottle. Kukhona ilogo yekhefi enkomishini, futhi phezulu kwekofi kubonakala ungqimba oluncane lwamafutha. Lapha amafutha e-perilla awadlalwa—ayinkanyezi yendawo.

Isamba asikhulu kakhulu, asincane kakhulu—sisemaphakathi. Kodwa ikhwalithi iyabonakala: akwenziwanga nje ngokushesha; ama-topping abekwe ngokucophelela, futhi ukubukeka kwakhona kufana nomsebenzi wobuciko. Ukuthi kuyafaneleka yini ngentengo, ngizokwahlulela ngemva kokunambitha.

I-perilla coffee bottle—amafutha ekofini?

Nansi i-perilla coffee bottle esiyithathile. Ilebula inelogo “大龍山莊” nomdwebo wamagagasi—iyona “aesthetic” ngempela. Kodwa umqondo wami wokuqala wawuthi: “uma ufaka amafutha ekofini, ngeke kube muva/kunyanyise?”. Amafutha nekofi, ngokujwayelekile, akuhambisani. Uma uyinyakazisa, uyabona amafutha ehlukana kancane phakathi kwekofi, bese kufanele uhlanganise ukuze uyiphuze. Ukuthi kumnandi noma cha, ngizokutshela ekugcineni, ngiqonde ngqo.

Izihlalo zesitezi sesibili nombono wezintaba

Sanyukela esitezi sesibili. Amalambu e-lantern style yaseMpumalanga alenga ophahleni, nodonga lunemidwebo enemibala, okwenza indawo izwakale ithokomele. Isikhala phakathi kwamatafula asisondele kakhulu, ngakho ungahlala ungakhathazeki kakhulu ngabasematafuleni angomakhelwane.

Okubaluleke kakhulu izindawo eziseduze kwefasitela. Ngale kwengilazi enkulu, umbono wezintaba eziluhlaza uvuleka kakhulu—uyawuzwa umoya wokuqala ikhefi ngale view. Kukhona nendawo yesikhala esiyisigubhu (arch) ezwakala sengathi unegumbi elincane lakho.

Kodwa ngizokhuluma ngento engayithandi: izihlalo azinayo i-cushion eningi, ngakho ukuhlala isikhathi eside kungakwenza uzizwe ungakhululekile kancane. Kodwa view iyakwazi ukukumboza lokho. Uma uza lapha, woza ngenxa yombono nomuzwa—hhayi ngenxa yesofa ethambile.

Ukuhlola ukunambitheka okuqotho: ayisikhilimu & ikofi lamafutha e-perilla

Ngaphambi kokudla—ngangikhathazekile, ngiqotho

Manje ake sikhulume ngento enibeyilindile: ukunambitheka. Ngokuqotho, ngaphambi kokudla ngangikhathazekile. Amafutha ku-ayisikhilimu, amafutha ekofini… uma ucabanga, kuyethusa kancane, akunjalo? Engqondweni yami, le mix ibingathi izonamafutha kakhulu, ibe muva. Ngangingathi “kuyenzeka kanjani lokhu?”.

Ngokuluma kokuqala—umqondo wami waguquka ngokuphelele

Kodwa ke… ngokuluma kokuqala, umqondo wami waguquka ngokuphelele. U-ayisikhilimu we-makguksu onefutha le-perilla unokunambitheka okunothile kwe-sesame emnyama, amafutha e-perilla adlule phakathi kancane—akakhali ngendlela engangiyesaba. Futhi okukhulu: angizange ngizwe muva nhlobo. Nhobo, ngiqotho. Kunalokho, ekugcineni kukhuphuka ukunambitheka okunuka “amantongomane”, kuze kube ngangingacabanga ukuthi kuzoba kubi, kwaba yinto engiyithandayo. I-kim bugak ne-lotus root ethosiwe inikeza “crunch” phakathi, ingakuvumeli ukuthi ucasuke ngokushesha.

Ikofi lamafutha e-perilla nalo liyafana. Uma uphuza, amafutha e-perilla anika ukunambitheka okuthambile okungasindi. Lelo suku lokwesaba ukuthi “lizonyanyisa” lanyamalala—kunalokho, lizwakala sengathi lithambisa ubaba wekofi, lenze kube “smooth”.

Uma ngikufanisa, kufana nokuzwa imininingwane ngomuntu ngaphambi kwedethi bese uthi “hhayi”, kodwa lapho nihlangana nibone ukuthi niyazwana kakhulu. Amafutha e-perilla no-ayisikhilimu, amafutha e-perilla nekofi—uzwe kuphela uthi akuhambisani, kodwa ekugcineni kusebenze ngendlela emangalisayo.

Isiphetho sokuvakashela iChuncheon Daeryong Sanjang

Daeryong Sanjang iyikhefi elingenqaba ukuba “elijwayelekile” kusukela ekuqaleni kuze kube sekugcineni: kusuka esangweni elenza uzizwe ungathi ungena ku-uSen noChihiro, kuze kufike kuma-signature anesibindi amafutha e-perilla. Yebo, amanani aphezulu kancane. Kodwa ngale concept nangezinga lekhwalithi, ngicabanga ukuthi kufanelekile ukuzama okungenani kanye. Uma uhlela uhambo eChuncheon, hlanganisa i-Samaksan cable car nalokhu kuma-stop—kunzima ukuthi uzisole. Nami, ngifuna ukubuyela futhi ngizame amabhikawozi engingazange ngiwadlele.
