Have you ever tasted beluga caviar before? I understand from some articles that I’ve read that Beluga caviar is among the most expensive caviar types in the world and can cost up to ten thousand dollars per kilogram due to the Beluga sturgeon being a critically endangered species.

Apparently to really appreciate this very expensive delicacy, fine caviar should be served very cold. It is recommended to serve it in non-metallic bowl like glass, wood or even plastic and avoid the use of silver and metal bowls and utensils due to oxidation that may impart a metallic taste to the caviar.

If you’re wondering to how eat caviar, well true connoisseurs of caviar believe that the best way to eat it is simply, without any additions as even garnish might affect its taste. However if you find the taste too overpowering you can have it over dry or lightly buttered toast or unsalted, bland crackers. You can also squeeze a drop of fresh lemon juice on top, if you want.

It is also suggested that you have caviar with ice-cold vodka. However, these days, people have also started having champagne and chilled white wine with it.

Also remember that you should not take more than 1, at the max 2, teaspoons of caviar in your plate at any given time, . It is considered rude or incorrect to take large portions of caviar at a single time, especially at a social gathering.

Sometimes while having dinner in front of the tv, we may accidentally spill some food item on our leather sofa. Well the simplest way to remove those stains would of course to use leather cleaning agent but I read somewhere that you can also remove water stains on leather by rubbing with a cloth dipped in a vinegar and water solution. I personally have not tried it before because I don’t have any leather furniture in my house but let me know if it works for you ok..

On my trip back this time, my bestie asked me if I can do her a favor by bringing back some Macarons for her. She got to know this nice chap from KL who is an expert in Macarons baking and wanted to share them with her friends in Singapore. After I agreed she told me got a box for yours truly to try too since this is the first time I’m going to taste this very trendy and popular dessert these days.

Since this was going my first experience with Macarons I was quite wary on how I would make sure this beautiful dessert arrive intact to Singapore. At first I thought I should get one of those dvd mailers box perhaps ..lol… but I decided to just go with the flow and hope for the best.

The Macarons arrived safely to Singapore and mommy and I truly enjoyed the delightful dessert. It was something new for the both of us and I was really happy that I was able to share it with my mom.

A box of 10 Macarons cost RM35 so let me know if you are interested and I’ll hook you up with the baker (sorry not sure what to call him..lol)

We love grilled meat and that is why we love going to Mustafa Jones’ burger restaurant. They have moved to a new premise on 1st February which promises everything better. I wonder, with the move to a bigger premise, if they have gotten new equipment too like the new weber grills at GrillsDirect.com for instance. Well, whatever it is, I’m so craving some of their 200gram ribeye steak.. Yums!

Cheerio…
