This was officially the most decadent dinner of Christmas 2020 thus far - a night of luxurious excesses, and a surprise celebration. 🥰
The bestie ordered and cooked both the Australian & Japanese Wagyu 🥩from Pan's Fine Cuts for dinner (seriously good, I hear they carry excellent cuts, are located in Tiong Bahru & do deliveries too, do check them out if you’re a fan of cooking steaks at home!).
To accompany the steaks, we first cracked open🍷a Marcel Lapierre Beaujolais from WEA Wines, then did a side-by-side comparison ⚖️ between the Chateau Siran Margaux 1982 (Fine Wines SG) & 2014 (Enoteca Wine Shop). The 1982 was the less tannic of the two, so I definitely preferred that!
Dessert was the surprise birthday “cake”! Knowing my preference for savoury over sweet, the bestie somehow managed to score the Le Matin Christmas special - the Kombu Tart. 😍 The balance of kombu, toffee and cardamom is 🙌. (Sorry, it was a festive special, and is currently out of stock!)
I found that the tart went really well with the Black Tears Cuban Spiced Rum, which tasted distinctly like coffee liqueur, so so good. We also tried Yellow Spot Irish Whisky, The Maltman Scotch Whisky, Edradour Sherry Cask & the Yamazaki Limited Edition 2014. Thankfully, I poured my own portion of whisky, and was able to control how much I had, despite not being able to control the number of bottles we opened. 🤣
Definitely had way too much food & drink, but it was so worth it. Thanks for a great night babe (you know who you are), it ain’t bad turning a year older soon, as long as you’re in my life! 😘
