Japanese Breakfast and Kiri T @ MOM Livehouse – 28 November, 2017

30+ police provided an unwanted third non supporting act prior to the start of the show. After demonstrating how not to count a group of people effectively, Kiri T got the music started with some originals including her new single Roll Deep in the Feels and a lovely Lorde cover.

The display of police intimidation was easily forgotten as Japanese Breakfast quickly had the maximum legally allowed audience dancing and singing to a widely varied set of stirring guitars, passionate vocals and intimate lyrics featuring songs the bands two albums Psychopomp and Soft Sounds from Another Planet.

Wine & Dine Festival – Some Suggestions

The annual Wine & Dine Festival returns to the Central Harbourfront this weekend fatter for all the fine wine and food indulged in, as the venue’s waistline expands to encompass half of Tamar Park.

There are entrances at both ends of the festival and around 400 booths to enjoy including country pavilions from the USA and a large Bordeaux area in the centre which includes not only wine but also a food from the Bordeaux and South West of France. Items on offer include a French ‘cheesecake’ known as Torteau Formager ($20) and

On the side of the ‘concept store’ Filters Lane is offering chocolate and passion fruit cocktails ($55) which include a fragrant Earl Grey foam.

Hong Kong Street Eats is showcasing it’s cook at home egg waffle with savoury and sweet toppings, nice but a bit small and pricey at $50.

https://bcmagazine.smugmug.com/Bcene-photos/2017/Wine-Dine-Festival-Central-Harbourfront-26-October-2017/i-m6QxsFJ

The hotel zone features some good sized potions of popular dishes from local hotels including The Pullman, Hong Kong Gold Coast Hotel and City Garden Hotel.

Mac and cheese raclette ($100)… from Porterhouse features four cheeses and is rather tasty, but heavy on the stomach. Raclette is popular around the festival with several other stands offering it straight, with meatballs and other combos.

With so many wine booths, our recommendation is to wander around and try things to find those you enjoy. It can get expensive, but step out of what you’d normally choose and try something different. Lots of companies are offering tastes and there are numerous free classes.

Two final thoughts, bring a bottle of water. Even with the more spread out venue, it’s hot. Have fun, there’s lots of good food and drink to taste.
