Media Sake Tasting Event + Dinner at CALI Rochester

I met up with my usual clique for dinner, and we settled at one of the CALI outlets which is located at Park Avenue Rochester. This lovely eatery place specialises in Southwest cuisine (including Mexican food).




The CALI Wings were well-marinated and tasted fantastic, making it as a great option as a side dish.





I highly recommend the Baby Back Ribs, as the meat literally melted in my mouth. 




The Chicken Fajitas tasted great, and we loved the tantalizing caramelised onions. To enjoy the fajita to the fullest, simply put the chicken meat and the onion in a tortilla wrap with the given condiments and greens.

We were surprised by the price tag of the Lava Torte, but when we tasted it, I could respect the price! This finest dessert is truly worth every single dollar.


The Lava Torte has a rich, gooey lava centre.


Overall, we enjoyed everything that we had ordered. Money well-spent and truly eaten! CALI Rochester is perfect gathering place for family and friends, as well as for couple date!

I attended the Media Sake Tasting event which was hosted by J Passport, in collaboration with Tokai Food Export Consortium, Kobayashi and Ishi-san with my Baby Hubby.





Zaku is also recognised for its prime quality and it is known as 'Less Sake Cheesecake'.


During the Sake Tasting, there were 9 exclusive sakes from Tokai region - in particular, Mie and Gifu Prefecture.

Handago Junmaiginjo bears a high aroma with light flavor. This sake goes well with cheese, ham, and other Japanese snacks that goes well with white wine. It has a gorgeous aroma with a soft taste of elegant sweetness. Enjoy it best after chilled!

Oku Vintage Junmai Ginjo Original Sake is an aged sake that is kept well at a low temperature of below 10 degrees Celsius throughout the year. This ensures the sake retains gorgeous aroma and deep flavor that is created by ‘time’!

I enjoyed the tasting of these exclusive sakes from Tokai region! In the end, I purchased the Owari Otokoyama Daiginjo as it has a gorgeous aroma with a soft taste of elegant sweetness! 


Lastly, thanks for the invite!

Preview screening of Planes

 Thanks Claressa for asking me along to join her for the preview screening of Planes at GV VivoCity.   --- Posters of Planes ---         I was thinking to myself during the show, has PIXAR run out of ideas to make a movie? This movie has all the hallmarks of a standard PIXAR movie, such as Cars/Wall-E/Toy Story, with the looks and graphics being the same.     The movie, Planes is a carbon copy of 'Cars' with both the films logo being similar. Oh well, seems like a rip off to me!       The film focuses on Dusty Crophopper (voiced by Dane Cook), an ambitious crop-dusting plane that predictably spends his days flying over tall grass spraying fertilizer. His dream is to become a racing plane, soaring high and racing around the world.   Though he is built not for flying this capacity but his biggest drawback is that he is afraid of height, as he gets used to flying at low heights.   Skipper Riley (voiced by Stacy Keach) i

Korea's No. 1 beauty brand, KUNDAL shower/hair products are now available in Singapore, and I am honored to try out their full series of shampoo, treatment, body wash and hair serum which includes a special gift from them - Bath Bombs! KUNDAL o ffers natural hair/bodycare products that have the perfect blend of plant extracts. Their products are comfortably referred to as green products due to their biodegradable and non-toxic components. What I love about the  KUNDAL HONEY & MACADAMIA  range is  that they use honey and macadamia extracts as their main ingredients. They are also infused with a specific scent - such as Pink Grapefruit, White Musk or Cherry Blossom, or the most popular floral scent, Baby Powder. The scent still lingering in the bathroom for hours and it smells pleasant as well as not being over-powering. I love how my hair feels smooth after using each of the products.
