Some food and wine


4:56pm on 2022.9.27 @ Qeqertarsuup Tunua 

The foods, wines and the teas on board SH Vega, is pretty awesome – under the direction of executive chef Avhier Singh of South Africa (SeaTrade), and sous chef Ariel, our meals are both tasty and beautifully presented at Swan, aside from cheerful serving staff.


Chef Avhier Singh: kiss the fish 

I always ask for half portion even their serving size isn’t big.

Breakfasts vary slightly. Pizza has constance presence. Lunches (buffet 自助餐) and dinners are always different. Club on Deck 7 serves light breakfast and afternoon teas, with the machine for various drinks on 24/7. Each room is equipped with illy coffee machine and water heater. Wines vary but repeat. The wines are decent (their reserved wine list).

Love it.
Cool interior design – refreshing, trendy and intimate
Great food and service
The bathroom wall reminds me of Bar 89 (on Mercer St in SoHo that’s closed) a long time ago
It’s not a complain but not crazy about the warm toilet seat and chopsticks – again, it’s in line with the rest of the d

Seattle and Whistler 2006

Our winter break trip (Feb 21-26) coincided with the 2006 Winter Olympics (the XX Olympic Winter Games, February 10 – 26) in Turin, Italy. On our last day, we watched the closing ceremony while had our lunch. The lovely little town was in a celebratory mood and was promoting the 2010 winter game which was to hold there in 4 years.

Olympics was closing at Turin and would open in town in 4 years

Bahamas 1992

After we booked a tennis camp, I found out I was pregnant. My in-laws persuaded us not to go. So Bahamas it was. By the time we arrived at Nassau, I was just starting my second trimester. I played tennis every day anyway, with a coach. The two bed/bath condo at Sandpipper was great, right on the sandy beach. Rolled out of the bed and went to swim every morning. The water was warm and calm. I can’t swim free style straight without the bottom lines (in the lap pool), but the water was crystal clear that I followed the ridges or the shoreline. It’s off season, only $99 from the timeshare. The locals looked very happy and content.

Just purely luck, we caught the Bahamas Open, Aaron Krickstein was the top rated player. Krickstein was a great swimmer. We watched Mark Knowles, the home town boy playing doubles, and won.

Doreen came back from Hong Kong to spend the X’mas in New York. She and my father-in-law came to pick up us from the airport, and announcing that she too, was pregnant! Our first borns were only a month apart. Needless to say, my in-laws were very happy.

We took Cathay Pacific leaving JFK at 11pm. The upside it’s an Asia airline with better food/service but the down side is getting to Vancouver at 2am. No traffic 🙂

Rogers Cup and dumplings

A great day here in Toronto so far: had dim sum in Chinatown (so so), but then found a marvelous dumpling house on Spadina Av, bought 2 dozen of them. Golfer couldn
