Imperial Treasure

 lunch invite by stanley to Imperial Treasure at Great World City only impressed me with the unusual Beef Mai & Pork Hands for they're not commonly available. no 1 pour us tea after the 1st round. is it common? decor nothing special. most of the dishes are on the high side. although they've sugar-coated cashew nuts, taste of all dishes that we tried tasted same, acceptable only. the white rice i'd was aromatic. 

the Boat Porridge he ordered looked nice but his expression failed the congee. other dim sum we'd were har kow, siew mai, fun cheong, chicken feet, carrot cake, & teochew kuey.

quite good crowd for a weekday lunch. two tables away was a group of hokkien speaking young adult males. casually dressed with mouthful of hokkien foul words! maybe it's their lingo to each sentence! 

i'll not entertain at this place but if i were the guest i wouldn't mind. 

New Zealand Wine

Mud House from NZ wine-yard when a relative visited there some years ago. 

as the Special Guest Speaker of the NZ Tourism Board to speak at NZ's 100 Years of Tourism Convention about a decade ago, i'd the privilege to join the team to visit a new resort off Auckland. the couple managed a huge outlet with big game hunting, lodging, f & b etc.
we're treated to great lunch with the introduction of NZ wines. the man was very proud to show n share with us a bottle of Pinot Noir n highlighted that even SIA used it for her 1st class passengers! from there i learnt about NZ wine n Pinot Noir.
NZ wine is considered as New Age Wine. Pinot Noir is a Class of its Own. although NZ wine costs a few $ more, its taste will make that balance. Worth Trying n Collecting. Cheers!

Black Good 4U

a stout malaysian fr disclosed tat the right way to drink stout (black beer) is Unchilled! at a wedding dinner i sat next to the air-con. bloody cold! hot ch tea didnt help. hard liquor would be too much. tried Unchilled Stout. it worked! kept me warmth throughout the banquet.
an old man said to gain Power, add raw egg n honey to the stout. stir fast b4 the egg got cooked. the taste n look is awful, not awesome!
1 can of special brew beer mix with 1 can of stout (any brand) will prove are u a Great Drinker!
as the respectable advice goes Never Eat Durian & Drink Hard Liquor (Stout inc)!
Don't be afraid of Dark! it's Good for U! it's never bitter just Bitterly Sweet! 
Toast, Yam Sheng, Cheers!
