Big Apple Donuts & Coffee

I had a Berry Bambi which consists of Strawberry Chocolate, Strawberry Cream, Fresh Strawberry and Mango Glaze. The memory of the sweetness and taste was still in my mind as I write this blog a day later. Hmm....

Service Temperatures for Your Wine

Once I posted this question to my fellow wine kakis, "What is the optimal temperature to serve and consume your wine?" I got a range of answers like, chill for white and ambient temperature for red and many many more versions.

No. 4 Big Prawn Noodle Dry/Soup (Zion Road, Singapore)

There will be times when there's craving for a hot bowl of Big Prawn Noodle. Love my prawn noodle dry so that can taste and savour the distinct flavours of noodles and prawn soup separately.

Dog Point, Sauvignon Blanc 2009

The wine's, from New Zealand (Malborough), appearance is clear in clarity, pale intensity and lemon in colour.

On the nose, it gives a clean, light fruitty and vegetal aroma.Fruitty aromas of citrus lemon, passionfruit and melon which sometimes can also be interpreted as vegetal herbaceous grass and nettles.

On the palate, it is dry with medium to high acidity, low tannin, medium body with fruitty and vegetal flavour characteristics with a good length.

This is a good wine best paired with light meals like cheese, balsamic vinaigrette dishes and seafood.
