When I make my own coffee every morning, noon and night, whether using the Nespresso machine or just having Nescafe Gold, I make sure to scoop sugar into my coffee mug first. Call me superstitious, it won’t hurt my feelings. But I always believe in order and the logicality of order.
.
Scooping something sweet into the mug first, I believe, is like putting positive thoughts and aura into your day first and foremost. So when bitterness – as in coffee – comes in, it symbolically falls onto my cushion of positivities.
.
But of course this order and logic does not apply to those who take their coffee black. I don’t. Coffee for me is always with 2 cubes or 2 teaspoonfuls of sugar and a 2% creamer.
.
And never, ever, do I make coffee by pouring hot water into the mug first! That is a coffee-making sacrilege! Scooping sugar or instant coffee with a wet spoon is also considered a crime in my house. I have seen way too many coffee granules contaminating jars of sugar in my life. I’ve made a vow to not commit such sin in my kingdom.
.
But of late, I have been having an affair with those 3-in-1 Nescafe Gold in sachets. And although this instant drink is regarded by coffee-lovers as a disgrace to ‘real coffee’, I do not deny that it is humbly delicious. Therefore, I, Questa è Enida, unashamedly disclose and unabashedly confess that I have sinned and I am going down. 
.
To earth.
Questa è Enida 
I know nothing about coffee Enida. I don’t drink coffee of any kind, my tummy and head just can’t take it. But I do believe in the same ritual, sugar first. Orang melayu mcm tu, mesti pembuka dia dgn pemanis supaya hidup kita manis selalu. In the duka we know we can always rely on the sugar or honey, tu yg org kita byk diabetic, sebab bila sedih je makan benda manis.
Welcome to the dark side hehe
Oh No! Et tu Enida! Sacrilege! Mama doesn’t even allow instant coffee in the house. It will have to be Lavazza beans, ground and then filtered in the percolator. So much work but yummmm…..oh, only full cream milk is allowed too. Hard life, eh?
Angelina Jolie, hehehe. I love Lavazza coffees as well! Especially Lavazza Oro. Now dah ada Nespresso machine, we haven’t taken the coffee-maker with the pot out dah sangat. But those 3-in-1 are not bad if you don’t mind saturated and monosaturated and all this mencaruted palm-fat creamer. I don’t mind it once in a while. 😉
