ZHI TOU AND I HAVE DINNER AT MY IN-LAWS' AND for me it is great to see him again. He is having his school holidays until end Jan OMG that is so nice huh?
We have a great dinner with lots of discussions on the Malaysian political and business inefficiencies. We sure like to talk about them because they are so plainly so wrong. FIW says the G.E. has to be called soon maybe on the 11 Nov it would be called. It would appear some of the people in power are worried about losing their seats and all the dirty linens will be hung out for all to see; leading to them losing everything. Many people say, everything means EVERYTHING. Wink, wink, nudge, nudge. The people so wish the pollies will drop like a pack of flies. On the one hand here will be rejoicing and jubilation but on the other hand there may be greater uncertainties and hardships ......
It will be an interesting year 2013 as far as the G.E. is concerned. However we concentrate on the food. Tonight we are served mostly my favorites by the MIW ..... there's sambal belacan petai, brinjal, fried fish, timun and soup. Yum. No fried prawns though.
Anyway my In-Laws served me this French red "Baron de Sillac" which is a Merlot, vintage 2009. It is fantastic wine... comparable to the Penfolds 128 or 28.
Apparently this wine is brought into Malaysia in casks and is bottled in Kepong by Guan Chua Industry so it has Buatan Malaysia on the label. Good grief, made in Malaysia red wine from France but it is a darn good wine. Cheers!
The next day I am brought by Capt Chow and Mirazo to this shop in Brickfields selling all sorts of alcoholic drinks; mainly wines, beer and whiskey.
It's on the same street where you find blind messuers. Jalan Thambapillay, I think.
There it is on the shelf this Baron de Sillac. Ha ha. I am also very surprised to find out that the trader sells a 1 liter bottle Glenfiddich 18 years at RM185 which is some RM100 cheaper than the same product sold in an airport duty free shop. I do the maths and cannot completely fathom how they do it except to come to a conclusion that the single malt whiskey must have a questionable origin or quality.
.......... more likely it's the questionable origin.
