A study by British scientists found that caffeine addiction is such a downer that regular coffee drinkers may get no real pick-me-up from their morning cup.

measurements showed that their post-caffeine levels of alertness were actually no higher than the non/low consumers who received a placebo, suggesting caffeine only brings coffee drinkers back up to “normal.”

Whisky Live Singapore 2010: May 24 @ Raffles Hotel

Admin — Wed, 19 May 2010 11:02:32 +0000

Whisky Live is the whisky tasting and sampling event of the year.

Whisky Live has created major events in fifteen different cities worldwide every year, from London to Tokyo, from Paris to Glasgow and from New York to Cape Town. These events appeal to both connoisseurs and novices, with many whisky experts on hand providing useful information to learn more about whisky and to make Whisky Live the ultimate whisky experience.

Whisky Live gives you the unique opportunity to sample the greatest whiskies in the world, whilst mingling with the producers and distillers, marketers and visitor centre staff, all under one roof. In addition to learning about the world of whisky, you will be able to sample rare and sought-after whiskies and meet the stars of the industry.

Each event has its own local flavour and provides the greatest insight into this greatest of spirits. With great food, masterclasses and much more, Whisky Live is a great day out and a memorable experience.

Whisky Live Singapore will bring together, for one day, some of the most prestigious distilleries, from Scotland, Ireland, the United States, Japan, India and Australia.

To ensure that everyone can enjoy an exceptional experience, Whisky Live Singapore will highlight whiskies that are currently available. However, you will also be enticed by some of the rarest and most sought-after liquors specially selected for the occasion.

Whisky Live is also a fantastic opportunity to find and sample a selection of fine and rare whiskies that have become real collectors’ items, specially selected and opened for the occasion. Founded in 1956, La Maison du Whisky has had the good fortune to witness the evolution of the whisky industry over the last 50 years, a half-century marked by some exceptional whiskies that have long since disappeared and to collect some of the bottles that marked the history of these evolutions. To discover a selection of such whiskies hosted by one of our whisky experts is certainly not to be missed.

Led by the emergence of a new generation of bar professionals and at a time when businesses are having to constantly come up with new ideas to prosper, mixology (the art of cocktail-making) has become more popular than ever.

Long time the poor relation of tastings (due in no little part to its hedonistic character), the cocktail has fallen perfectly in step with the current mood. Today, it profits from the trend for new modes of consumption which place a clear focus on the quality of the product and a respect for expertise.

Since the very beginning, Whisky Live has always saved a place at the top table for mixology, associating itself with the finest barmen and cocktail establishments.

Top Pot Doughnuts

Out Story
Begun in February 2002 out of a small brick storefront on north Capitol Hill in Seattle, Top Pot paired a vintage aesthetic with a gourmet spin on the traditional coffee and doughnuts pairing. Today, Top Pot Doughnuts can proudly claim a rabid fan base and extraordinary growth. Our hand-forged doughnuts can be found in five Top Pot cafes and other retail locations in the greater Seattle area.

Our Doughnuts
We take great pride in (and have a lot of dun with) elevating the humble doughnut to an art form. We call our doughnuts “hand-forged” because they’re made the old-fashioned way. As a result the unique characteristics of each doughnut are preserved by our skilled bakers. What’s more, all of our doughnuts contain zero grams trans fat.

Top Pot doughnuts now available exclusively at Starbucks from 14 May:
- Glazed Old Fashioned
- Chocolate Old Fashioned
- Apple Fritter

How to Pair Beer with Food

Admin — Thu, 29 Apr 2010 03:40:50 +0000

Wine is the best when people think about a wonderful dining experience. But, if you are a beer person, it doesn’t mean it can’t be paired with food. The Kitchn showed some guideline:

In general think about pairing the intensity of the beer with the intensity of the food – lighter beers like pale ales and pilsners with appetizers and salads; heavier beers like stouts with hearty, rich main meals. Think about the main flavors in the beer (malty, hoppy, nutty, citrus, fruity, etc.) and pair them with the main flavors in your meal (roasted, spicy, savory, buttery, sweet, etc.).

It also gives some examples of pairing beer with food:

Pale Ales – Salads, light appetizers, fish and seafood
India Pale Ales (IPAs) – IPAs can stand up to a little more richness and flavor. They can go well with things like pulled pork, pizza, and fried chicken, as well as lighter salads and seafood dishes. And if you like heat, try an IPA with spicy food – the hoppiness really pumps up the spice quotient!
Hefeweizens and Wheat Beers – Fruit dishes, dinner salads, grain salads, and desserts made with warm spices (cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg).
Amber Ales – Ambers are a good middle-of-the-road beer and go well with just about anything: burgers, grilled cheese, roast chicken, soups and stews
Stouts and Porters – Barbecue, stews, braised dishes – any kind of meat dish, really. Also rich desserts with chocolate and espresso flavors.
