Fun Fact #1: Nobody Is Sure About Its Origin

Theories are varied about how Margaritas were first originated. Some say that the first Margarita was mixed in Juárez, Chihuahua by Francisco “Pancho” Morales in 1942. Others believe the real inventor of this impeccable drink is Margarita Sames as she concocted this for her guests in her vacation home in 1948. Another common story is the cocktail was actually invented by head bartender Santos Cruz for his favorite singer Peggy (Margaret) Lee and named the drink after her Spanish version of name – Margarita.

Fun Fact #2: Margarita Actually Means “Daisy” In Spanish!

Margarita is named after this beautiful flower? It might surprise you but it’s actually not! “Daisy” – a refreshingly tart cocktail with a slightly sweet undertone, is an old drink dated back to mid-1800s. This cocktail includes a spirit as a base, sugar with some citrus for a bit of sour taste. Many believe that Margaritas are inspired by this special cocktail as it is basically a tequila Daisy.

Fun Fact #3: What Is That Salted Rim Used For?

No matter how many variations there are, you probably hardly see a Margarita without its salted rim. The salt actually plays an important role to enhance the whole experience of this much-loved cocktail as it brings out the sweet and sour flavors and reduce the bitterness of the tequila. Furthermore, salt can intensify the aroma of Margarita, making it a more flavorful treat.

Fun Fact #4: The Most Expensive Margarita In The World?

Image Cre: standard.co.uk

Would you be willing to pay $1200 for a glass of Margarita? It was in 2013 when the most expensive Margarita in the world was concocted at 230 FIFTH Rooftop Bar & Penhouse Lounge in Manhattan. This frozen delicacy was made using the most high-end ingredients with the tequila alone costs up to $1800 per bottle while its ice was made from a $450 bottle of Lois Roederer Cristal Champagne. Finally, the drink was poured into Ralph Lauren hand-blown Hungarian crystal glass! Half the money of this was donated to a charity afterwards.

Fun Fact #5: The World First Frozen Margaritas Were Only Invented Around 50 Years Back!

Image Cre: liquor.com

A world without frozen Margaritas? Yes, it was what happened before 1971! The first frozen Margarita machine was invented in Texas by a school dropout named Mariano Martinez. The 26-year-old restaurateur had an immense trouble creating the frozen drinks for customers at that time. The cocktails were time-consuming and easily melted! Inspired by the soft-serve ice cream machine, Mariano came across the idea to make a customized one for Margaritas and this machine can now be found all over the world!

If you love to unwind with this incredible cocktail, here is a quick guide on where to find it in Klang Valley!
Want to celebrate Margarita week? Head to Chambers Bar at Hilton Kuala Lumpur for special Margarita event from 18th – 24th February to enjoy a variety of Margarita mixes or come to FOOK from 22nd February – 2nd March to relish special hand-crafted Margaritas from RM30!

Rooted in the corner of the culinary and entertainment hub – Changkat Bukit Bintang, Opium has always attracted diners for its impressive outlook which is reminiscent of oriental Shanghainese theme. Not only loved for their creative cocktails (such as the Zhu Ba Jie cocktail for CNY 2019 celebration), the restaurant also offers a variety of Asian Oriental delights with a twist.

I came to the restaurant to unwind after a hectic week. Inspired by the Opium regimes of the East, the interior is furnished with aged-old artifacts which is just perfect to relax and drift back in time. Of course, I also took this chance to find out 3 dishes that diners are most interested in when they come here!

1/ Signature Ulam Quinoa Served with Beef Rendang and Fried Squid

The first dish – Signature Ulam Quinoa Served with Beef Rendang and Fried Squid, is the epitome of “Asian Oriental delights with a twist”! This authentic Asian dish is ingeniously prepared with a combination of fine ingredients including 7 herbs, dried shrimps, onions, ginger, coconut served with pickled cucumbers and omelette. The Angus Beef Rendang was skillfully cooked to make it fork-tender while the fried squid pleased my taste buds with its crunchy texture – ideal to mingle with the refreshing Ulam Quinoa.

2/ Crispy Lemon-Orange Butter Chicken

This lip-smacking Crispy Lemon-Orange Butter Chicken has become one of my favorite dishes after the first time trying. Cooked with lemon plum sauce and orange juice, the deep-fried chicken was imparted a hint of sweetness and tangy flavors. This hot-to-your-table dish is beautifully presented and served with a choice of Poppy Seed Rice or Lotus Leaf Buns – totally a must-try delight!

3/ Curry Spaghettini with Salmon

The last dish – Curry Spaghettini with Salmon, is a true winner for its irresistible aroma. The house-made spaghettini is meticulously crafted and cooked in a fragrant coconut broth with spices and ingredients like dried shrimps, chicken, tofu puffs and more! The salmon fillet on top absorbed the curry base and to my surprise, it was not flaky at all. Rich in flavors with a touch of moderate spiciness, this dish is something you just cannot miss out.

Weekly Reads: 5 Interesting Facts You Might Not Know About Tapas

15 February 201915 February 2019General, TableApp, TableApp IdeasBabe, Cicchetti Di Zenzero, Kikubari, La Bodega, sapore, Sentidos Gastrobar The Latin Grill, Spanish, Tapas, Tapas Club PavilionLeave a Comment

Originated from Spain, tapas are now presented in restaurants from all over the world in the form of small plates, snacks or appetizers. From a bowl of olives to creative tapas with a peculiar touch, tapas are undeniably loved by many! While some may think tapas are just smaller versions of foods, they are actually more than that! Check out 5 interesting facts you might not know about these world-famous delicacies.

1/ Tapas mean “cover”

Image Cre: Cicchetti Di Zenzero

Did you know “tapa” literally means “cover”? Many believe that in the beginning, tapas were merely pieces of bread that were placed over a glass just to keep the flies away. It is said that during the 10th century, Spanish King – Alfronso, had a severe illness and all he could eat were small bites of foods with wine. Once recovered, the King declared that wine can’t be served without a small bite of food and there came the flourish of tapas in Spanish bars!

2/ Tapas used to be free and were simple dishes like almonds or olives!

Image Cre: aborigenbarcelona

Nowadays you can see tapas in various shapes and styles; however, when they were first originated, tapas were actually foods that required little to no preparation. As free snacks for drinking occasions, these small dishes can be as simple as a hunk of bread, a dish of olives, almonds or milk cheese! After Spain came in contact with other countries, tapas also started to evolve as bar owners had strived to come up with new ideas for tapas to stand out from the rest.

3/ Tapeo – The Art Of Eating Tapas

Image Cre: proper-spanish-tapas

Spanish tapas are sumptuous yet the tapas concept is actually not only based on the food itself! Tapeo – the art of eating tapas, is simply the gathering of people to share and socialize. In Spain, it has become a part of the Spanish way of living – sharing memories and hour-long conversations with their family members and friends over a glass of wine or beer together with delicious tapas. Come to a tapas bar and you will be likely to see a lively ambience filled with laughter because after all, tapas connect people!

4/ Tapas are varied in different regions.

Image Cre: Sentidos Gastrobar – The Latin Grill

While you may think that tapas are just the same all over Spain, they are actually more varied than you thought. Different regions have their own specialties and even their own stories! Come to the North for their famous mini toasts with scrumptious toppings, to the central and Southern Spain to taste Iberican Ham and Chorizo and head to the coastal South for fish tapas! Each city also has its iconic tapas such as Barcelona and their renowned Patatas Bravas (Spicy Potatoes).

5/ There is something called Japas!

Image Cre: Babe

Inspired by tapas and traditional Japanese cuisine, Japas dining is one of the concepts that have quickly won the hearts of diners. Exceptionally versatile and has more to offer than sushi, Japas can re-interpret familiar foods into new creations. These bite-sized delicacies are usually made from the best-quality tuna, duck breasts and finest ingredients. In Kuala Lumpur, you can pay a visit to Babe or Kikubari, located in Damansara Heights, for special Japas filled with whimsy and wonderment.

Before departing Kuala Lumpur for Chinese New Year 2019 celebration and revel in a plethora of lunar new year’s delicacies on this occasion, my friend and I decided to treat ourselves to a dinner to satiate our taste buds with Western delights! After being overwhelmed with too many choices, we found out Mezze Bar & Bistro – a Western, Mediterranean restaurant which was awarded “Certificate of Excellent 2017” by TripAdvisor.

Known for its exceptional service and excellent dishes, Mezze Bar & Bistro is definitely our place to be. Of course, we took this chance to introduce to you 3 delights that you definitely must try when come to the restaurant!

1/ French Rib Eye

We started our meal with a big chunk of French Rib Eye (250g) featuring premium Charolais beef from France. The stunningly marbled rib eye is lightly marinated and grilled under the perfect heat for the beef to exude its beefiest flavors and maintain its high protein. This perfect-for-gourmet steak served along with tasty shoestring fries and fresh side salad is a satisfactory indulgence that any steak fans would not resist.

2/ Spicy Lamb Cutlet

Another dish that captured our attention was a vibrant dish of Spicy Lamb Cutlet. The dish had such an irresistible aroma and eye-catching presentation that silently tempted our palate. Only the high-quality cutlets are hand-picked and marinated for hours to bring out the best taste before being grilled to à point. Expect a heap of piquancy and tender goodness on your tongue when you savor this delight! Don’t forget to enjoy the grilled eggplant and fresh rocket leaves that are set to balance the strong flavors of the lamb.

3/ Mezze Burger

To finish our journey of gustatory fulfillment, we ended with a one-of-a-kind Mezze Burger including 250g of freshly ground beef patty and served with shoestring fries, a choice of panini or brioche bune! Such a big beef patty would require a skillful hand to be able to keep the beef moisturized while maintaining its doneness and this burger did not let us down at all! Not only juicy but the dish was really a delightful treat for its flavors thanks to the addition of whisky BBQ sauce, red cabbage slaw, mayo, lettuce.
