Such experiences are to be savoured for a lifetime...
on monday nite, my grandma treated me and my 4 other cousins (incl my brother) to dinner at a restaurant..
specifically the Bar & Billard Room at Raffles Hotel. it was simply wow...artwork appetizers..super deeee-lish main courses and ooohhh death by chocolate deserts...such a perfect buffet....sighz..pity it all had to end
i'd never had such a fantastic meal in all my life...imagine having a fresh scallop served wif a lite cream sauce in a tequila shot glass, smoked felt salmon wrapped with caviar ARGH!.....such dreams are made up of good food....heheh
and today..i was invited to a wine tasting session organised by Lush 99.5FM. I dragged my godbro Marcus along for the event. Your wondering how i was lucky enough to be invited? well i'm an avid listener of the station (they play stuff ur average singaporean would ignore...nu jazz, bossa nova, lounge, chill out music) and they asked listeners to SMS to them for an invitation to the session.
anyway i've learnt that wines DO NOT have to be orthodoxically paired (ie: seafood with white wine and red meat with red wine) You can actually mix wines and food as long as u like both the food and wine your serving. however the only thing you have to bear in mind is the taste of the food. Food alters the taste of wine..not the other way round as many people think. So the different types of wine actually taste different because the taste of the food (sweet, sour, bitter, salt and spice) alters the wine... therefore...taste the wine before u consume your meal and when u take a bite of your food. you would be able to notice a difference....
