Fruity Habits

They always say that we should eat at least 4 cups of fruits and vegetables daily. But somehow, I think I'm misinterpreting the main message.

Fresh Banana, Banana Chips and Smooth Hazelnut ChocolateGreen Apple Slices drizzled with Manuka Honey,
Lake Chalice Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2007
Wine Notes by Glengarry:
The grapes for this offering were selected from several Marlborough sub-regions, including Wairau, Waihopai and Awatere Valleys, to produce a complex wine incorporating the individual characteristics of each district. Intense, well defined aromas of pineapple, melon, herb and orange peel are to the fore. The layers of tropical fruit flavours swirl around in the mouth and are supported by mineral and herb nuances, balanced by a tingling flick of citrus. It's a versatile wine that works well with food or as an aperitif.

Wine Notes by Lake Chalice:
The Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2007 is a medium bodied, dry, crisp wine, with a powerful aroma of passionfruit, and underlying gooseberry and mineral tones. Enjoy in its vibrant youth with chicken, seafood and pasta dishes.

Ha. I could never figure how people could describe wine, coffee and perfumes! Crisp, dry, notes of frigginberry, godnoeswhatfruit and a spine-tingling aftertaste!

I must first know what a gooseberry tastes like.

God knows why it's called Manuka honey but everyone knows it's from New Zealand. =)

Yea Aaron. The school calendar in NZ and Australia is quite similar, but I'll be flying back only on the 3rd of December.

Yup, certain grades of Manuka Honey has anti-bacterial property that I heard is great for the digestive system.

I'll probably buy 1kg of it back, cos it's very expensive in Singapore.

And it taste especially great with tarty and sour fruits like green apples!

Heh. And I do believe that wine tasters sometimes have too great an imagination...

Although if you try really really ard enough, you might just sense that subtle pineapple smell with that citrus aftertaste.

Everyone knows it's from New Zealand. Besides, it's SO popular in Singapore didn't you know that? lol. it's another bee pollen or royal jelly or propolis hype-wave. Gimmick or not you decide.

1KG can last you a YEAR. It's time for you to take up a membership at HoneyWorld... 20% discount..haha

And also good for sore throats. I swear it works! The chocolates here are definitely an anti-thesis to the manuka honey. argh.
