This is vaadai, an indian style spice cake. I like this for afternoon tea time, as it’s a bit spicy and full of taste. Is a type of finger food that can goes nicely with your beer. Lager, pilsner, weissbier, witbier, ale or even stout can really match with this finger food. Of course is not easy to find this at night, so you have to “tapao” (take back) and reheat it at night when you chill with your friend.

Good advice is to slice into small cube and just eat small piece at a time to enhance the taste. The more you eat, the taste get even better with beer. This is a good pairing, I really love this. really hope the next time I go to pubs I can find this as a finger food. Is quite enjoyable. Ok, I better go tapao some for this weekend gathering. Cheers!

A Taiwanese groom died on his wedding day after having too much wine and beer, police and local media said. The man, 35, an insurance company worker passed out at home after drinking too much. Mr Wu was hospitalised after his face turned black, hospital spokesman said he died despite treatment.

This is something that shouldn’t happen. As I’m not too sure about it, in many cases of my own experience, beer and wine can’t work well together. I can easily get hang over after drinking both beer and wine. Can beer and wine cause a new alcohol poison that can killed a person?

I wrote a post on 6 Stages From Fun To Death, this is what happen when too much drinking will cost. Eventually a happy day turn tragic. So the next time you go drinking, please remember to drink moderately, so that the fun stay.

Recently I just went to Redang for my diving trip. Redang is an island situated in Malaysia under the state of Terengganu, it’s a beach paradise. But as beer lover and with this crazy hot weather, a beer in hand on this wonderful island would be good. As the beach are sandy and the water are transparent blue, this is truly an amazing place. I’ve been to Tioman 2 years back for my dive, both place give a different experience.

I’m not going to write about how beautiful Redang is because this is a beer site. So of course I will write something related to beer. As I mention I going there for my dive trip, I do avoid taking beer before my dive, as alcohol and diving is a no no situation. Only on my last day that I drank my favourite beverage.

Redang is not a duty free island, not like Langkawi or Tioman. The beer here are quite expensive. RM10 for a can of Tiger or Carlsberg. Not much variety in this island, all they have is the usual stuff like Carlsberg, Tiger, Heineken and Guinness.

Even the locals will normally bring their beer from the mainland, which is cheaper than what they are getting in the island. Many of the locals here drink their beer with ice, as the weather is super hot and beer are easily turn warm. On my thoughts, this is a bloody good place to brew your own beer, the cheapest beer you can get is always from the homebrew. Maybe they have their own todi (coconut fermented alcohol) here as coconut are easily available. But beer is still a better choice, maybe they should have something under their own wing “Redang Beer”… haha

Of course I was hoping to chill my night with some Guinness draught or Paulaner. Need those refreshing beer that give you the energy after a long day under the sun or maybe underwater. I was hoping for a lot of stuff, like the pubs serve up keropok lekor (fish cracker that are famous in Terengganu) as finger food. Malaysia are still far away to create a good beer place with local finger food.

But I guess, drinking under the full moon already consider a plus. How often can you drink under the moonlight, while listening to the wave crushing to the beach as the wind blowing through. It’s almost a perfect condition if not for the mosquito come buzzing and sucking my blood. Where the hell those mosquito come from?

I have to said, Redang is truly a paradise in it’s own standard. I love the beach, the water, the dive and the moon there. Everything is so calm and chill. If only I can stay longer there, brew my own beer and enjoy it under all the best condition… perfect. To Redang I salute. Cheers!
