Thoughts: J-Kissa (the "日本スタイルの喫茶店" or Japanese Style Coffee Shop" in SS16's AEON Big is now open for Dine-in (maybe a little bit more than 1 week now). And it is good to see that the 2nd floor where "JHUNT" is located, is now a little more vibrant than the last visit to AEON Big 2 weeks ago.

For rm$8.80, you get to see the Japanese Chef-owner preparing the "法式咖啡 Cafe Au Lait" at your table. The 50-50 ratio coffee-milk was poured beautifully and expertly into the tea/coffee cup to create this unique French style coffee!
With today's positive experience of J-Kissa's "法式咖啡 Cafe Au Lait", looking forward in the near future to sample the Cafe's 手工滴濾法咖啡 Hand Drip Coffee, 維也納咖啡 Vienna Coffee, 淡美式咖啡 Mild American Coffee, or the 冷萃咖啡 Cold Brew Coffee, maybe also with their Signature 銀座咖哩飯 Ginza Curry Rice!
Fun Facts: "喫茶店" or きっさてん Kissaten, literally meaning "Tea Drinking Shop" is a Japanese-Style Tea drinking room or Coffee shop. "喫茶店" came about in Japan in the early 20th Century as a distinction from a Café in Japan, as Japanese Cafés had become places also serving alcohol with noise and celebration. A Japanese "喫茶店 Kissaten" was a quiet place to drink coffee and gathering places for writers and intellectuals. In urban areas like Kyoto or Tokyo, people frequent "喫茶店 Kissaten" for breakfast where they usually also have "西式早餐 western morning meals" of 厚吐司 thick toast, 煮雞蛋 boiled or 煎雞蛋 fried eggs, a piece of 火腿 ham or 培根 bacon, and a cup of 茶 啡tea or 咖啡 coffee. With popularity of まんが Manga (Japanese Comics) to the Japanese, there are also "まんが喫茶 Manga Kissa" where visitors can have access to extensive library of Manga. These new modern Kissa also have internet access and many have 私人小房間 private booths, and instead of Coffee; many Manga Kissa are equipped with 自動售貨機 Vending machines. "まんが喫茶 Manga Kissa" can be found in many Japanese Cities which operates 24 hours which has been a form of 低成本住宿 low costs accommodation option. And they also come with amenities such as 淋浴 showers and 互聯網接入 internet access in private booths, with the costs of maybe 1500 to 2500 Yen (rm$55 to rm$90) per night!
Today's "法式拿鐵咖啡 Cafe Au Lait" is a French style coffee, the pronunciation of "Cafe Au Lait" is "Cafe Oh Lay"! It is different from a 拿鐵咖啡 Latte or 卡布奇諾 Cappuccino. First of all, 卡布奇諾 Cappuccino is made with even distribution (1:1:1) of 濃縮咖啡 Espresso, 蒸牛奶 Steamed Milk, and 泡沫牛奶 Foam Milk and the contents are layered distinctly. While the 拿鐵 Latte, comes with more milk blending the Espresso with the Steamed Milk, with the typical ratio for Espresso to Steamed Milk is about 1-to-2; which makes the 拿鐵 Latte has more Calories than the 卡布奇諾 Cappuccino due to the higher Milk ratio. The Latte is then topped with a layer of foam but much lesser foam compare to a Cappuccino! BUT Beware about ordering a Latte in 意大利 Italy as in Italian Latte means "milk" and so ordering a "Latte" in 意大利 Italy will get the customer 一杯牛奶 a glass of milk. And the correct name is "Caffellatte" or "Caffè Latte, as literally means "coffee and milk" in 意大利 Italy.The 法式拿鐵咖啡 French style Cafe Latte or "歐蕾咖啡 Cafe Au Lait" is not the same as the American or the 意大利拿鐵咖啡 Italian Latte. "Lait" is 法文 French for "Milk", and "Au" in 法文 French having meaning of "to The" or "at The", so "歐蕾咖啡 Cafe Au Lait" means "Coffee plus Milk" in 法文 French. But the usual cup of creamy 法式咖啡加奶 French milk coffee is made with half of the coffee poured into half of hot milk, with a 1:1 ratio of Coffee to Milk. While a 意大利拿鐵咖啡 Italian Latte is made with a strong Espresso as the basis (and usually with a Coffee Machine); 歐蕾咖啡 Café Au Lait is made with brewed coffee which can be hand-poured or via the Coffee Machine, and usually less or no foam compared to the Latte.
