My weekend

We went Clark Quay again~ there was a big celebration party! i tot i was in Prague....

Chicago cheesy ^^yummy~

actually we tot to have a drink @ clinic...but we found that actually clinic is very lousy...

besides the normal liquor, they do sell signature drinks, eg. red colour liquor in blood bag, colourful drinks in shot (guess taste disgusting like drinking coughing medicine), and cost $50. huh~ finally we went to a Spanish Restaurant~ not bad, atleast we ordered a drink called Sangria, a famous Spanish liquor.

i think i start loving this drink. here is some introduction,

'From its humble roots in Spain, Sangria has grown to become a popular, refreshing party drink around the world. In the US, Sangria was first tasted at the 1964 World's Fair in New York. The Spanish World area served this fruity wine punch to its visitors, and history was made!

Sangria is based on the traditional red wine punch popular across europe for hundreds of years. The punch base would be claret, i.e. Bordeaux wine from France. Brandy and fruit would be added to the punch for flavor. In the 1700s and 1800s, Claret Cup Punch could be found at parties of all sizes.

Sangria is a red wine punch, although it can also be made with white wine - it is then known as 'Sangria Blanco'. Sangria was originally created in Spain with Rioja and other Spanish reds. Soon, however, the Cava-producing area adopted a sparkling white version. In the south of Spain Sangria is called zurra, and is created with peach or nectarine.

Sangria is typically created from red wine, fruit juices, soda water, fruit and sometimes brandy. When making your own Sangria, use a good quality red wine, and be sure to let it chill overnight. Use Rioja to get the authentic Spanish flavor, but definitely choose something you like - you're the one drinking it! In the morning, pour into a pitcher full of ice cubes, garnish with fresh fruit, and enjoy. '
