Brown Brothers ~ Moscato and Cienna

I am not a big drinker as I dislike the bitter dry taste of most alcohol. So I am very selective in what I drink. I like sweet wine, particularly the white wine from Germany (I learnt that most white wines from Germany are sweet). But I cannot take cloyingly sweet wine much. Dessert wine and ice wine are usually much too sweet for my liking too.

During Christmas, I was introduced to Brown Brothers from Australia. Moscato and Cienna. I like them, so when I saw the twin pack on promotional offer at the liquor section of Isetan Scotts, I grabbed a pack.

There are more types of wine from Brown Brothers which I don't mind trying. Most supermarkets do stock their wine. I have seen them at 360 as well as most Cold Storage.

The Cienna is similar to Ribena. It is red and has a bit of bubbly to it. It is sweet but not as sweet as the moscato which is a white. I can barely finish 2 glasses of moscato while I had no problem drinking 2 glasses of the cienna.

I am so glad to finally know of some other brands of wine which I can drink. So far the other whites I do buy are from Oyster Bay and Cloudy Bay, besides the German wine. For cheaper version, the Yellowtail is not too bad.

I am not a big fan of Jacob's Creek or Penfolds.

After Lunch-Drinks at Lobby Lounge, Shangri-La

Our day of lounging and chilling continued. She wanted to have a drink after lunch and I thought of Blu as I have always love the place. We went up and found out it only opened at 6pm. So off we went and ended up at the Lobby Lounge.

I ordered the Shangri-La Pimms and it was really good too. I liked it. My new found light alcoholic drink. I also loved the bar snack provided. 3 types - cashews, almonds and a sweetish spicy tapioca type of chip. Yummy!

I was quite surprised to discover the Lobby Lounge was quite spacious as I only saw the front part every time I walked past it. There was another section which was hidden. It was fairly quiet though all the tables by the glass windows facing the pool were occupied.

This section was totally empty. I just love the purple fabric for the chairs. This would be the shade of purple if I was to name my favorite color. It just made the chair looked rich and inviting without the opulence or pompousness.

Note: The drinks are mostly above $20 each.
