WINE REVIEW: Elderton Neil Ashmead Grand Tourer Shiraz 2015

Slow Saturday afternoon watching The Sopranos with an Elderton Neil Ashmead Grand Tourer Shiraz 2015.

My review: Highly recommended. I would describe it as spicy with savory finish. Leather on the nose. Lots of character. Not the typical fruity shiraz. Peppery with herbal, eucalyptus finish. Very rich! Lots of berries, liquorice and oak on the palate.

True to the description at the back of the bottle: "the wine is exuberant lively and full of character."

BEST EAR PLUGS FOR SLEEPING: Howard Leight Max-1 Pre-shaped Foam Ear Plugs

BEST EAR PLUGS FOR SLEEPING: Howard Leight Max-1 Pre-shaped Foam Ear Plugs 

I just found this fantastic ear plugs for sleeping. It blocks out outside noise so effectively you are guaranteed a good night's sleep. It's made of foam so it's soft and comfortable in your ear, even if you sleep on your side. You roll it and insert it in your ear. Then it expands and creates a suction that blocks out noise. Very effective if your roommate snores or your neighbors party noisily. It's also great for blocking out noise from fellow travelers when traveling on an airplane. 

This is the Howard Leight Max-1 Pre-shaped Foam ear plugs uncorded NRR33. It costs 20 pesos per pair. You can get it at Lazada and Shopee.

My Review of MA MON LUK SIOPAO DELIVERY: How to Order and What to Order

My Review of MA MON LUK SIOPAO DELIVERY: How to Order and What to Order

WHAT I ORDERED

SPECIAL ASADO SIOPAO

This is their best seller. This is also our favorite. The difference between the regular and special asado siopao is the presence of salted duck egg. 

BOLA BOLA SIOPAO 

LARGE MAMI

You can skip ordering the large mami. Not worth the price or the calories. 

HOW TO ORDER

The only way you can have this delivered is by grab pabili or the lalamove purchase service. I used the grab pabili service to buy the food. No need to call Ma Mon Luk prior to booking the grab pabili service. Just check if Ma Mon Luk is open when you order. I don't think the app reflects opening hours in the grab pabili ssrvicelike grab food.
