Sara and I are off on a holiday! Where to? Originally we wanted to go to Germany, but when we sat down and calculated the costs it was a little to expensive for us right now. The alternative? Barcelona, Spain. We will be there for 5 days, then back to Malaysia. Won’t have internet access while I am away, so I wont be able to drop Entrecards or approve comments, for that I do apologize. Please do stay tuned for updates.

On our first Sunday in London, Sara and I went to Hillsongs church and then onwards to have lunch with Corny at the famous Duck restaurant called “The Four Seasons”. Even Sara agrees its the best duck she has had in a long time We chatted and ate and then headed to eat dessert just around the corner where we had amazing Egg Tarts and Tou Fu Far, though the waitress was rather mean and scolded Sara for her indecision. The Lady Boss was nicer

Mulled wine, variations of which are popular around the world, is wine, usually red, combined with spices and typically served warm. In the old times, wine often went bad. By adding spices and honey, it could be made drinkable again. Nowadays, it is a traditional drink during winter, especially around Christmas. In Italy, this beverage is typical in the northern part of the country.
Glögg is the Swedish form of mulled wine, similar to Glühwein in German-speaking countries. Glühwein is usually prepared from red wine, heated and spiced with cinnamon sticks, vanilla pods, cloves, citrus and sugar. Almonds and raisins are often added to the Scandinavian version, though not to the German. The oldest Glühwein tankard is documented in the high noble German and first Riesling grower of the world, Count John IV. of Katzenelnbogen around 1420. This gold-plated lockable silver tankard imitating the traditional wine woven wooden can is called Welcome. In Romania it is called vin fiert (”boiled wine”), and can be made using either red or white wine, sometimes adding peppercorn. In Moldova the izvar is made from red wine with black pepper and honey. If orange juice is added, it becomes a form of punch.

What’s mulled wine? That’s what I first thought when I read the sign at this place in Borough market. The wine shop had a pot of hot liquid stewing away, and it looked allot like wine, except it had some oranges floating in it. Why would anybody boil wine? As Sara and I explored the market on a cold friday, we decided to eat some spanish food just beside the Southwark Cathedral and they served Mulled Wine. It was really cold, and we decided to share a cup, which actually turned out to be a pleasent experince. Yum. Ours had some spices and tangerine taste The spanish sausge and piela were good too
