Le Cellier Wine Degustation At Le Cafe Curieux

Le Cafe Curieux is one of the most interesting cafes I've been to in the metropolis. Maybe its the ambiance and the food, and of course, the people behind Le Cafe Curieux.

As its name implies, the cafe has a lot of interesting things to offer. There was a time when they hosted some art exhibits, hosted an album launch, wine pairing, etc.


It was a lovely night when Le Cafe Curieux and Le Cellier hosted a wine pairing. Presented that night were five wines from Le Cellier- 3 rouge, 1 blanc, and 1 rose. Among the three colors of wine, I particularly liked the rose and the blanc (white). They're fruity and mild tasting than the rouge (red).


Here's the food pairing for the wines. There are several cheeses- blue cheese, camembert, brie, gruyere, and 2 more which I can't identify. Cold cuts: ham, salami, prosciutto, etc. Salad, pickled onions and baby jerkins, grapes, and walnuts.

Its quite interesting to note that the flavor of wine when combined with the different kinds of cheese or meat/ fruit, changes. Same with the blue cheese which I'm not really fond of, but when paired with grapes, loses its saltiness and becomes sweet and creamy. Great with the white wine that we're having also. Thanks to Monsieur Bernard Flour of Le Cellier for that tip.

Boracay's Hidden Gem: Mama's Fish House

I've always wanted to dine at Mama's Fish House in Boracay but wasn't able to for some forgotten reasons already. Then the pandemic happened and we're in lockdown or limited travel movement for almost two years. And guess what? One of the nicest thing to happen on our recent trip to Boracay was to discover that Mama's Fish House was located just outside the beach front of our hotel- Microtel by Wyndham Boracay . Talk about serendipity!

RECIPE: TKG's Pan-Grilled Maya-Maya With Calamansi Butter Sauce

I chanced upon some fresh-looking Maya-Maya being sold near my daughter's school today so I bought some. I don't really have a dish in mind when I bought it. Maybe fried, sinigang ... And upon checking the fridge and pantry (no more olive oil), I decided to marinate the fish in calamansi to remove the fishy taste. I pan-grilled the fish being careful not to burn it. Then I minced some garlic, cooked it in butter, added some salt and poured the sauce on top of the fish. And its ready to eat. And oh, I also steamed some cauliflower as a side-dish. Bon appetit!
