Life's little coincidence



It was such a pleasant little surprise when I found that I had my first Muller Thurgau earlier this year in Sep!

随笔

其实我不想离开
你可知道我有多无奈
害怕有天回忆起来
你却早已经不在

Jaan




Had a lovely lunch with GFs - lunch with a view. Had a trio of amuse bouche to start the dining experience


Some amuse bouche to wake up the taste buds




My appetiser of Zucchini with Buffata cheese - loved the combination



Cod with green peas - succulent cod and umami squid. Mmmm


Palate cleanser - Panna Cotta with Blackberry coulis



Cheese Platter - one of the best blue cheeses






Dessert - Macademia Ice cream with some Chocolate which resembled an Opera
 


Petit Fours
 
When we ended with coffee and petit fours, I was totally stuffed. If I had space in my tummy, I'd have cleaned off all the baton bisuits. Included are madaleines, baton biscuits, rosemary ice cream lollipop, dark chocolate truffles, chocolate marshmellows and caramel candy.

I must say they were very generous with the total dining experience. More focus on the flavours and harmony of each dish over quantity, At the end of the meal I was happy. Hope they change the menu constantly. Will be back.

1Q84


Happy to finally lay my hands on this.
And now, to decide when I can start reading it.

Magical


Summer's come and gone. Leaves are turning into shades of autumn red and yellow.
Well almost.


Love how the ginko leaves scatter on the pavement, fresh from the rain. Rain which fell gently onto my lashes, awakening the lost connection with nature, almost like opening the glass window to see the forest in their real colors, to smell the rain in the atmosphere.



The rest of the magical forest will slowly change their hues from deep greens and dark emeralds to rich vibrant reds and yellows, before they all fall away into the deep winter frost.

Maybe, maybe next year I'll be back to catch a glimpse of spring as they come to life again.

Until then, I will be thinking of making the hike up this massive enchanting Mount Takao.

Little luxuries

Lovely bottle of wine best enjoyed late into the night.
