Thailand hasnt exactly got a reputation for wines over the years, but I was interested to find out how young the industry actually is here.
Berry Bros. & Rudd, Britain’s oldest wine merchants who have been supplying the British Royal Family since 1698 have opened a shop in Hong Kong.
In Asia it is said that the best food can be found on the side of the street, but don’t let that put you off.
Food is a passion in Malaysia and Penang is not only one of SE Asia’s cultural capitals, but also known for its varied culinary delights.
Until quite recently, wine on most menus around Koh Samui was labelled: Red or White, but that is all changing as the island goes upmarket.
Many ingredients used in Thai food are known aphrodisiacs and if you add a little alcohol, some types of fruit can be powerful sexual stimulants.
I lived in Burma for a couple of years recently and I had been warned before I moved there that the food wasnt a highlight.
