Dinner with the Lim Sistas @ Jaya Palace

The wine affair with my wine kakis have been a normal day affair. The number of dinners that we had whether at Imbi Palace or Jaya Palace is countless but what maketh this dinner so special is that the appearance of the Lim Sistas all together! It was time (as they say) to meet up with all my sisters (only 2 and younger) after dining and wine(ing) with me for almost 2 years now. My friends all knew how expensive my taste has become and they wanted to see whether it is something that runs in the Lim family or was it just me....

We started off with some appetisers like the fried chicken wings below, some mushrooms and a bowl of appetising pork ribs and corn soup. There's indeed nothing special about fried chicken wings but this one is really good. It's crispy and not very oily! After that, we had the Peking duck where the waiter would help us to cut it up and remove the skin for the peking duck wrap.

The other dishes.

The other two sisters of mine (Ziling & Yiling) are not really wine drinkers and so they do not really enjoy the wines we had that night. That very night we had a Chateau Potensac 2004 and also a bottle of my favourite Portugal wine which is the Xisto 2004. The Xisto is retailing at Denise Wines at RM250 which I think is a little overpriced. If you want to buy, call me! haha...

Mr. L, the ever so accomodating friend decided to let my sisters try other liquor such as the Longmorn 16. The Longmorn 16 is a single malt scotch whisky by Chivas Brothers which replaces the Longmorn 15. I've drank it before so it wasn't exactly one I would crave but it's indeed quite a decent drink. Yiling is more like a whisky drinker and she only like single malts! Wohoo... like her eldest sister. Lol...

And since the Longmorn doesn't appeal to Ziling, Mr. L brought out a hidden gem - The Hennessy Paradis! Even I have not tried the Paradis! However, Ziling still remained as a true blue cocktail drinker even Hennessy Paradis tasted like Paradise! As the name suggests, it's really a flamboyant cognac with successive blend of hundreds of exceptional eaux-de-vie aged from 25 to 130 years! It's perfectly harmonious in the mouth, Paradis Extra reveals itself to be smooth, full-bodied and long-lasting on the palate. I have tried Hennessy XO but this certainly outshine the Hennessy XO many times. Therefore, this flamboyant cognac housed in a crystal decanter which can be reused to decant the wines can cost up to RM1600 a bottle today!

And so finally my friends have met all the Lim sistas. It was a good dinner where we talked and laughed and also commenting on the gift that Big E gave me which looked like a dildo more than a corkscrew. Guess what? They are planning for a BBQ at my house! And all I have to do is to get the BBQ ready and they will bring the rest i.e wines (and wine glasses) and marinated steaks! heheh....

In Paradise....
