To celebrate a birthday and commiserate a farewell a few of my friends and I got together at Bar-a-Thym Singapore. This would be my second time dinning at Bar-a-Thym, the first was the great Grosset Wines Dinner, so I was looking forward to going a-la-carte this time, but that was not to be.

The birthday girl is a friend of Chef / Owner Francois Mermilliod and he offered to provide us with a special menu, so how can you say no to that. The one problem with this is that I am not sure what each of the dishes were, this did not change the fact that the food was, as always, excellent, so I have guessed what a couple of the dishes were.

Recently my friends and I visited a new restaurant in Singapore called the 5th Quarter. The 5th Quarter has been open for about four months and is a part of the new Vagabond Hotel. Considering how new the restaurant is, Chef Drew and his team have done very well in ironing out most of the kinks associated with setting up a new restaurant. For more

In December 2015 I was lucky enough to be invited to attend a White Truffle Dinner at the Tower Club Singapore that was arranged by the Tower Club’s Executive Chef, Frank Kilian. As the meal was going to be something special we had to “push the boat out” yet again, and we most certainly did! For more

December 2015 Wines – Part 1

December 3rd was Wine Exchange Asia‘s very own Minion’s, Bob, 150th Birthday, as well as Jen’s 21st (or was that her second or ?? 21st, can’t tell), Jen is a Brown Bag Club member. As the 3rd was a school night the party was held on Friday Dec 4th.

As the Minion thinks he knows a bit about wine we all had to bring out our best magnum or larger format, so it was going to be BIG night, especially as there were 4 magnums of Billecart-Salmon Champagne Brut Réserve NV to start with. For more
