南洋商报－漫画心里话

poco 手作号外 #2

关于巧克力熔岩蛋糕

About Chocolate Molten cake:

1. Sometime, you might see this situation at poco.

2. Normally, this will only happen in the making of chocolate molten cake. Duration of baking is the key to bake this type of cake.

3. But the cake is hot and easy to break when it was just finish baked.

4. Thus, I have to move fast while take it out from the oven.

5. Somehow, it hurts.

6. But no more hurt after I see this.

7. The reason for me to keep baking, is the smell of the cake when it was finish baked. And of cause, the words 'it is delicious' that came from you.

Santa Monica dream

一首适合边打扫边听的歌：记忆夹着陈年旧照翻落，打扫年关的下午，女人顿着。 女孩捧着男孩给的故事、旅行、梦想、教她唱的歌... 很远的事了... 听完。

惊醒！“还有好多没收拾呐...” 女人呢呢喃喃继续干活去...


Santa Monica dream

Goodbye to my Santa Monica dream
Fifteen kids in the backyard drinking wine
You tell me stories of the sea
And the ones you left behind
Goodbye to the roses on your street
Goodbye to the paintings on your wall
Goodbye to the children we'll never meet
And the ones we left behind
And the ones we left behind

I'm somewhere, you're somewhere
I'm nowhere, you're nowhere
You're somewhere, you're somewhere
I could go there but I don't

Rob's in the kitchen making pizza
Somewhere down in Battery Park
I'm singing songs about the future
Wondering where you are
I could call you on the telephone
But do I really want to know?
You're making love now to the lady down the road
No I don't, I don't want to know

I'm somewhere, you're somewhere
I'm nowhere, you're nowhere
You're somewhere, you're somewhere
I could go there but I don;t

Goodbye to my Santa Monica dream
Fifteen kids in the backyard drinking wine
You will tell me stories of the sea
And the ones you left behind
And the ones we left behind

poco 会陆续从各地带回一些好听的，部分还会作限量发售，对欧陆民谣有兴趣的朋友欢迎到poco洽询 ：）

poco a poco...

poco是我们向往的节奏：慢一些，不多，刚刚好。

今日私房菜：poco homemade
主料：zzz, mermer, zzz mama
调料：日式简餐、手工蛋糕、消暑小饮、缝纫机、手工丝印T恤、工作室、小画廊、欧陆民谣、怪鸡漫画、小品文类...

做法：

首先要一个不大，足够玩乐、发呆的空间；洗净以后用木工堆砌，加入田园旧家具，手工涂绘调味再生，然后用布缝纫拌匀；表层搅至成poco以后，加入少许绿意增香。

制作步骤二，制作poco内馅：将zzz mama的日式家庭料理切成均匀的小段，随季节更新，不多，但都是精华。说起手工蛋糕那可算上是季节性的明星，研究生mermer表明甜点增进食欲、明目、助消化、清凉解暑、利尿等功能... 甜点虽好，但是却有不少人因为无法接受它的发福因子而敬而远之，针对这一点，我们有绝招，少糖！

制作步骤三，进口民谣放在盘中，将调好声量放入客人耳袋，喜欢的还能限量外卖喔！

制作步骤四，蒸熟zzz 与mermer 的画作、手工杂货、丝印T恤等等，焯水以后，挂在墙上晾干展示。过时过节还会开放让不同的特色创作人一块晾干晾干！

步骤五，制作“客人”。为了让这道poco菜更健康，提醒您客人入锅前一定要先清一下时间，这样不仅能取出一部分闲情，还能让客人出锅时的色泽更鲜亮。在锅热前加入少许怪鸡漫画、小品文类，开胃之余又能减压。音乐、画作与读物算可是poco里的三宝，不论年度宴庆，还是家常小聚，离开这三样，恐怕还真的很难做出好的味道来。

poco爆香以后，下入好客人，加上近邻人家溜狗、闲话家常、晾衣等等背景为佐料，造就成一道风和日丽的poco homemade ：）

黄小桢

听黄小桢连看电视吹冷气也是件赏心乐事。

看她的英文歌词不用中英大辞典，牛奶咖啡镇定剂沙发... 尽是生活琐事。

她似乎就按着日记公开念了出来，重复的呐喊，发泄...

编曲极简, 但耳根就是舒服。

喜欢这首：




《Cake》
You shut the door behind you
telling me, I'm not the person I used to be
perhaps an apology ain't enough
when everything is so messed up
good things will happen to good people
well, I think I must have done something terrible
the cake I brought back isn't your flavor
so I alone ate them all
my stomach started to ache
I think it must be the cake I ate
I think it must be mistake I made
I'm losing someone who understand me
I'm losing someone who understand me
Not you, you said

还有非常粗糙的《15秒练习曲》：

你让我站在这里
3个小时又20分钟
你却给我躲在家里
看着电视 吹着冷气
你让我伤心

poco 手作号外 #1

Poco 的日与夜

zzz的手工招牌

为什么总是拍门口呢？因为招牌太小了啦～！到访前对有poco个概念会比较好找。呵呵。

Shhh... Secret Map to poco^^

10 分钟步行距离到poco:
从Abdullah Hukum Putra LRT站过天桥，经过一小池塘，拐进Tenaga National公司范围往里边直走，上一小斜路，前方有个白色小印度庙，通过庙旁的小门进入住宅区，游乐场过后再经过两排住家，就会看到poco 躲在另一游乐场后面！（整个社区就只有一排商店！加油！）

p.s: 小门只在平日开放；星期六，日及假日关闭。

10 mins walking distance to poco from the LRT station:
Walk through the platform bridge from Abdullah Hukum Putra LRT station, and you will see a pond. Turn into Tenaga National and walk straight until you see a small Indian Temple in white. Enter the housing area by the small gate beside the temple. Walk through the playgournd 1 and pass throught 2 row of tarrace house, you will see poco is hiding behind playground 2. Anyway, the whole housing area has only 1 row of shop. Good luck! ^^

p.s: The small gate only open on weekday. Close on Saturday, Sunday & public holiday.

poco 2.0 Present

我们的手工招牌^^v

旧窗口也跟着我们搬来了

如果你有到访过poco 1.0，对于这些东西你大概不会感到陌生。同样的想法，在这里得以更完整的呈现。桌椅的数量还是一样少得不符合经济效应。反正，舒适就好。poco 的食物依旧美味；就算它依然长得不像餐厅。把你认为的常理放在门外吧。多点时间与宽容地在我们的工作室里感受感受我们为你营造的悠哉空间。

You should familiar with all this items if you have been to poco 1.0. With a very handmade appearance, we have started again at this new location. We still limit the number of table although we have more room now because we hope the place will be cozy. We serve delicious food still even poco doesn't look like a restaurant at all. If you are not rushing out of time, I guess you will like the relaxing atmosphere here in poco.

Poco new location map!

Fleet Foxes的赞美诗

听整张专辑就是赴一场中古世纪农庄酒庆，没有塞车，global warming，农药生长剂…一幅幅田园景象冲耳朵蹦出，狂欢，吟唱， 歌颂; 一轮乡朴风光后忽地又拐入幽暗深谷。没有沉重或感伤的旋律，从吟唱的方式与歌词却露出一点愤世端倪，尤其选了这幅荷兰名画作封套。

据说许多童话原文都是黑色的，限制级；目的是阻吓小孩不到处乱躜。Pieter Bruegel的“尼特兰谚语 Netherlandish Proverbs”也起着相同作用。喜欢画家描写的农庄景物与人，尤其愚人。画中热闹的小农庄充斥行径诡异的百姓，各个形象都表述着不同的荷兰谚语。而这些谚语都用了许多滑稽的形容方式，如：献花给猪，给猪捅刀子，大鱼吃小鱼… 告诫着犯蠢的人们。

专辑主打 White Winter Hymnal 层叠渐进的乡乐与和声把简单重复的主旋律奏得热闹丰富，加上主音傻子般的吟唱，活脱脱个古代丰年祭，把冬夜炒得火红。当看了歌词后我更爱它了！没有例牌的赞美，歌词描述冬天里的一段经历，优美的压韵里却藏着冷战的血腥。但据说其实歌词并没特别的创作动机， 纯粹是为配合旋律而填（就是爱这种有意无意的，不强说愁）！更加无厘头的是我最爱的 Meadowlarks，惆怅得很的旋律原来是写给一只鸟听的… em… 总之就诗意满满！

It is like to attend a harvest festival at the medieval times to listen to the full album of Fleet Foxes. The rhythm sings the images of a celebration in the farm which no traffic jam, global warming and growth pesticide. It is a day of revelry yet the snub out of fire brings the darkness night. Without any gloomy rhythm but you can still smell the misanthropy by the selection of this famous painting from an Holland artist as the album cover.

The original of most fairy tales have a lot of violence and the ending is usually cruel allegedly as deterrent to others. 'Netherlandish Proverbs" of Pieter Bruege is means the same. I like how the artist describe the living in a farm, especially the fools. People are acting strange in the painting and each of them are presenting a different proverb of Holland.

What is special about the theme song of this album - White Winter Hymnal (Which is the first song we shared in Poco's blog) is the way they present the song from a simple repetition lyrics by solo vocal and more music element are added in slowly until it sound like a festival is ongoing. It warms the winter night. After I read the lyrics, the deeper I falling in it. There isn't any ordinary compliment on anything but an experience in the winter which refer to the bloody cold war. They said they didn't mean to create a powerful lyrics but just to fill their words in the melody. (I like the way they create by accident or design yet not over sentimental) The funniest thing is my favorite song in this album - Meadowlarks is a song written to a bird with its melancholy melody...em...Overall, this album is full of poetic luster.

poco 上报咯！

是3月7日星期天的报道。感谢New Straits Times！

这篇不能说是餐厅介绍。报道大多点到的是poco美食以外的层面。虽然不是什么会发达的连锁大饭店，但是有兴趣知道更多关于poco与我们的朋友可以分享分享。当然，你也可以纯粹找出这份报道来嘲笑我们奇怪的大头照...呵呵！

Poco is featured in NST, 7 march. Thanks, NST!

Although these are not tips to form a big successful restaurant, but we do share our experience in running Poco here for people who interested to know more about us. Of cause, you can have a look at it just for laughing at our weird looking pictures...hehe!
