Sky Bar comes of age

I luv rooftop bars! And Sky Bar (2332-9911) is one of ’em. And i luv the tunes they churn there – lounge & house. Just click on the link to be treated to some smooth vibes at their cool website.

In fact some liquor & beer companies could learn a thing or two from here about doing a simple yet cool site. Their websites tend to suck – overdone, over-flashed & under-info to the point of being impractical & uncool.

The outlet recently celebrated gettin people sky-high for three years. Dammit, time sure flies!

Not many rooftops give u the option of jumping-off or swimming

And in style too. Cocktails & champagne. What more can a man ask for??

Well actually a lot more but not in public.

There was this dude i met, Thomas Anostam, who was there to mix special complimentary cocktails. They were great, sold out pretty quick.

Thomas has yet to mix drinks with a background like this

Thomas was so focused he didnt realize the view - in Sky Bar and out

He’s from Flow Cocktail in Bangkok.

Sky Bar is a  Traders Hotel outlet. Absolutely loved the hotel when i reviewed it for The Star a coupla years ago.

Sky Bar will serve absinthe from Dec 2.

Drunk faeries better dont trip-out n try to fly off into the sunset. Coz its a 33-floor drop.

Looks a lil too healthy for alcos. Haha!

Showin ’em how

Tuesday ended up at this joint called Aliyaa in Damansara Heights after quite awhile. There was a cocktail session goin on, as three mixologists were in dahaus, showcasing some of their specialty drinks.

They were foreigners who were in town to train local F&B staff, and they created five cocktails for the public to enjoy.

Refreshing stuff. My fave – Hurricane K. Fruity, strong, goes down fast.

The team from Horace School of Excellence (HSE) conduct training twice a year. This time around, they managed to cover 50 F&B outlets. And had a few parties at several outlets, plus a cool blues / rock band in accompaniment.

Tonight (Friday) there’ll be a party at Maison from 10pm. No cover. U can get these cocktails for $10 nett. Sweet deal!

Adios Keith

Alcochef Keith Floyd is dead. Heart attack. Since he jalan aged 65, i cant really say he subscribed to the Bohemian motto “Live Fast, Die Young.” He tried hard tho. Good attempt.

He was a committed drinker. Wine sales will be affected.

His final drink was a glass of red – Fils Cotes de Rhone. It was a 2007 – good year. I was bumming.

Surprisingly, he did not die of liver failure, which means its ok to drink as much as u want!

Must have been food and cigarettes that nailed him.

Senget judges?

I guess even the experts cant agree when it comes to the complicated drink of wine (mostly man-made complications). I wrote recently about my very intoxicating experience at a blind-tasting session. Thing is, u arent supposed to get intoxicated at a tasting.

A researcher has found that wine judges cant really tell what they’re tasting. There’re inconsistencies in their judging, although they’re sober. There’s a short article on this on Drinks International.

Boozing and paperwork should never mix

It's confirmed - paperwork & booze cant mix

Quote: “Robert Hodgson created a stir earlier this year when he claimed that individual judges in the California State Fair Wine Competition often rated the same wine differently.” (Blind-tastings.)

I think when they say shite like “exhibits extraordinary purity, and beautiful sweet blackberry and cassis notes along with hints of graphite, camphor, and a subtle, but intense meaty character”, then they’re probably talking cock. They might as well swallow d goddam wine rather than spit during tastings. Fuckin wastage. They are people starving around d world man.

At least then they’ll get drunk. And instead of rapping about aromas of red ink and goddam goat leather, they’d say, “O yeaaaaaaaa, i liiiike this one. Hit me again! *Buuurp!* It’s a ffff-fff-fuckinggggg good wine!”

Easy enough to understand.

The manner in which the judge says “fucking” determines the level of the wine’s quality.

Well, I guess u just need to sound cool (superb tips here), and u can pass off as a pro!
