Tacos, Biryani, and Prosecco? Yes, We Went There! 🌮🍷
On November 27th, Frangipaani, Kuala Lumpur, transformed into the ultimate playground for foodies and wine lovers alike. Hosted by Albert Wines, this special evening fused the elegance of Italian wines with the bold, vibrant flavors of Indian cuisine. Each dish was thoughtfully crafted to represent the North, South, East, and West of Indian culinary traditions, creating a perfect harmony of spice, sophistication, and pure indulgence.
Food + Wine = Magic
There's something magical about how the right wine can elevate a dish—zesty whites brighten the spices, and bold reds bring out the richness. It’s the ultimate flavor glow-up!
Canapé Charm: Where It All Begins
Picture this: you start the night with a crisp glass of Santa Margherita Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore Brut (fancy, right?) and a round of Indian-inspired canapés. Dahi Poori Chaat, Kadala Curry Crackers, and Beetroot Cutlets? Yes, please! It was the perfect prelude to a culinary adventure that took our taste buds on a cross-continental road trip.
🌮 Course 1: Tacos (West)
Rico Bhakri + Prawn Koilawada + Chilli Thocha Aioli = drool-worthy! This dish got a glow-up thanks to the Cantina Mesa 'Giunco' Vermentino from Sardinia. Think zesty citrus vibes that made every bite even better.
🍖 Course 2: Grill (North)
Lamb chops with Rogan Josh Puree? Oh, hello indulgence! Enter the Cantina Mesa 'Buio' Carignano del Sulcis—a red that’s smooth, bold, and just what you need to balance the rich, meaty flavors.
🍚 Course 3: Biryani (South)
This was the ultimate comfort food moment: Thalassery Free-Range Chicken Dum Biryani paired with the star of the night, Cantina Mesa 'Buio Buio' Carignano del Sulcis Riserva. Deep, complex, and oh-so-dreamy—just like this dish.
🍮 Course 4: Sweet Ending (East)
Spice-Infused Rasgulla Tiramisu? Yes, it’s a thing, and yes, it was as good as it sounds. The dessert teamed up with Lamole di Lamole Vinsanto Del Chianti Classico, a sweet wine that tasted like a warm hug in a glass.
