Food and Wine Marriage [Part 2]



Hello to all, how's your day?
Since we have gotten some very positive feedbacks from the precedent post, we would like to thank you for your support. Your appreciation means a lot to us.

Well, today our topic will remain on exotic food with French wine. Hope you will like today’s post as well.

Char siu and Sauternes French sweet wine
Char siu, barbecued meat (usually pork), is a popular way to flavor and prepare pork in Cantonese cuisine. Cantonese roasted meat is listed at number 28 on World’s 50 most delicious food readers’ poll complied by CNN Go in 2011.(click me to check the rest of the food on the list)

 This honey-coated meat is sweet and tender. Traditionally it goes well with rice and noodles. However, it pleasantly combines with the French sweet wine-Sauternes.(we've talked about sauternes) The concentrated aromas of sauternes create a perfect harmony with Char siu. They both co-possess honey flavors and the roasted meat emphasizes the subtil and delicate fruits of the wine. Together, they are making a harmonious symphony in your mouth!
