Came back from Singapore with another load of wines from friend and wine sifu Karen. As reward she prepared salad and we had some wagyu burgers we'd brought from Meidi Ya in Liang Court.
Cracked a bottle of Dunn's 1991 and Robert Mondavi 1991 to compare the Cabernets. Karen preferred the brambly and tasty Dunn. I liked the Mondavi - sleek but tannic, still powerful. Nice match with the wagyu, but then again anything would be a good match with this amazingly tasty beef.
This blog started 2011 as "Fine Food and Wine in Kuala Lumpur", a diary of food and wine adventures in KL. Through travel, this got subsumed into a broader global context. The blog looks to document food, wine and travel experiences mostly in Europe and Malaysia, also Japan, Scandinavia and India. I try to call it as I see, eat and drink it; if it's tasty, value and worth a return, I will look to say so. Type a city, country, restaurant, wine in the search box, see if I've been there?
Mission
Mission: To respond thoughtfully and responsibly to my experiences of drinking and dining at restaurants with regard to the quality, service, preparation, presentation and overall experience received thereat. The standpoint is one who respects the crafts of the chef and sommelier and who seeks to understand their choices in the kitchen and cellar and grow in knowledge. In this, I will seek to be fair, reasoned, direct and constructive and aim to keep my ego in check on our mutual journeys through the worlds of food and wine.
