What wine to pair with the Signature Pork Ribs of Blake's Wings and Steaks

WHAT WINE TO PAIR WITH THE SIGNATURE PORK RIBS OF BLAKE'S WINGS AND STEAKS 

Last night's meal was superb! I simply must mention my discovery of the perfect pairing of Blake's Wings and Steaks signature pork ribs with the 2019 La Crema Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir. 

We know about the congruent and contrasting pairings of wine and food. This is a congruent pairing of flavors. They enhance and amplify each other's flavors. You should try it! 

MY REVIEW OF BLAKE'S SIGNATURE PORK RIBS:

Very tender, juicy and tasty, with a hint of smoke. The flavors are so well balanced, you can't stop eating it. It never overwhelms. The corn and carrot siding is a perfect accompaniment and goes very well with it. 

The small party tray comes with 16 pieces of meaty ribs and could feed 5-8 people.

I ordered it online for delivery and service was very efficient. It arrived on time.

MY REVIEW OF THE 2019 LA CREMA SONOMA COAST PINOT NOIR:

Minerals, moss and cherry on the nose. A burst of light sweet cherries on the palate. Light and refreshing with a hint of oak. Sweet long finish.

MANILA: My Review of Seda Hotel, Bonifacio Global City

MANILA:

My Review of Seda Hotel, 

Bonifacio Global City

LOCATION: Very good. It's very near good restaurants, shopping malls and offices. Everything you need is walkable from Seda Bonifacio Global City.

SERVICE::Check in was smooth and fast. We requested wine glasses and it arrived immediately. 

ROOM: The standard room was great in terms of cleanliness, spaciousness and amenities. 

However, I suggest that at least 2 bottles of water per person should  be given per day instead of just one. It's inconvenient asking for more everytime. 

The pillows are not that great and needs to be changed. 

There are no hand towels in the toilet. 

But the basic amenities that go with the standard room is sufficient for a comfortable stay. See photos below.

THE MEDICAL CITY HOSPITAL, PASIG: My Experience at the Ambulatory Care Center

THE MEDICAL CITY HOSPITAL, PASIG:

My Experience at the Ambulatory Care Center 

I arrived at 640am on a Saturday at the ambulatory care center of Medical City to have my annual blood tests done. My no. was 4033 when I arrived. (the no in the display is 4019). Twenty five minutes later, I was called at the cashier. Twenty minutes after that, I was called for extraction. I was out by 730am. Not bad! I was done in less than an hour.

Note that if you parked your car at the basement parking, they no longer have a cashier at the exit. You need to pay at automated pay stations on designated locations in the hospital before going out the exit.

SINGAPORE: WHAT TO ORDER AT MATCHAYA

Glad to be back at Matchaya! I first tasted this in March 2020 before the pandemic lockdown. For matcha lovers, this is the best place to go for your matcha fix. But for my daughter who's not a fan of matcha, she says that she would go back for the Signature Koicha Milk she ordered because IT'S THAT GOOD! It seems that for both matcha lovers and non-matcha lovers, this is a place you can both hang out together.
