QUOTE(Mollai @ May 23 2014, 04:18 PM) I wouldn't wanna pay corkage as I feel that I'm paying about the same price of how much I paid for the wine. Makes me feel mentally imbalance. LOL In Penang where I am, it is better to bring your own wine and pay the corkage. Some places waive the corkage if you are regulars.I have a dozen of Schott Zwiesel wine glasses at home. It's hard for me to change the ambience, but I insist my wine to be served on proper glass.  ps: I actually quite enjoy washing the glasses cz I like to hear the echo when I knock them. My hubby and I love going to places that don't charge us for bringing our own bottle; if we drink a few bottles with friends we could save hundreds of ringgit in corkage. |

QUOTE(Alan @ May 25 2014, 08:59 PM) hey.., i'm penang too... mind to IM me which restaurant is generous enough to waive the corkage...? sometimes it is good to take along wine that familiar with, avoid trying out their wine then end up not satisfying... HiHi!!! i took a wine to penang hill david brown's, but then corkage rm50 is charged, same price as 5 stars hotel   Well, you have to be regulars to get the corkage waived. It is wiser to bring your own wine and pay the corkage than to order a bottle there. Most Chinese restaurants do not charge corkage. Japanese restaurants like Rakuzen and Kirishima waive theirs. Bella Italia and The 88 waive their corkage too. So do The View, Sigi's and Ferringhi Grill. Blue Reef does not charge at all.  But please be prepared to pay corkage for the initial couple of visits. Cheers.  |

QUOTE(Alan @ May 26 2014, 09:33 PM) Haha, can't afford to be regular to those restaurants, but definitely hope to try the ferringgi grill, and try bringing a wine to blue reef. That day sneak peek the via pre jammin balcony, may be a nice place as well. Hope one day you can try out the penang hill david brown's, expansive with ok food, but good outdoor experience chating with friends, in an breezy evening. Cheers Don't like via pre; lousy service and food not consistent; bad experience!   Rather take my money to Bella Italia. Heard about David Brown's thru hubby's friends but we turned down the invite. Can't drink wine in hot-cond. They hiked up the hill, had dinner with wine and cigar and took the jeep down. |

QUOTE(Alan @ May 29 2014, 08:22 PM) The air conditioned cable car is definite the choice for penang hill trip Hi again!  Have you tried the new place, Farquhar Mansion? Couple of friends said the food's not good but a friend's BIL said it's better than Chulia Court which I find is quite good. |

QUOTE(Alan @ Aug 10 2014, 11:18 AM)  been rushing work for months, only manage to went blue reef once, happy without the corkage charge. Just learned some young white need time to breath and to develop more flavor.Farquhar Mansion online review shows nice/particular food presentation ( ) with sort of baroque style surrounding... though personal preference is more open and relax setting. I always love whites. Will let Farquhar settle down first before trying out; thanks for the feedback. |

QUOTE(Alan @ Jan 24 2015, 07:45 PM) The tasting note is very interesting, don't think my tongue is sensitive enough to identify all layers... personally not quite enjoy smoky drink as feel like it mask up the grape aroma I wouldn't describe it as smokey; more like toasty. Wah... the price so high end exotic |

QUOTE(patryn33 @ Jan 24 2015, 11:59 PM) Champagne hard to store well, do it poorly you just turn your 1k bottle to vinegar. I am penang lang. U guys in USA too? Malaysia champagne prices same as USA price thats real nice. I find it hard to believe those winesearcher.com or winezap site for price. not even liquor search sites results are accurate. most of the time liquor Msia is higher priced than States iirc I like to search directly http://www.totalwine.com/eng/gallery-dom-perignon http://www.goodygoody.com/Products/Product...rice=&maxprice= http://www.binnys.com/all/dom+perignon Good vintages will store well. My hubby collects verticals and keeps the Champange flowing when it's time to drink. I love oldies; the young ones are too bubbly and just foam up in your mouth. Prices are definitely much higher here. Those sites are just a guide. Cheers! 🍸🍸🍸 |
