Langkawi Weather Update - Nov 11

Well...Nov 2011.

Well...the weather....

It is so unpredictable basically.

Really nice weather in the morning and raining like cats and dogs in the evening....the contrast makes all forecasts purposeless.

I say just forget about the weather and let your luck in charge

What do you say? :)

Price War of Ferrero Rocher T-30

This is the fun of doing business in Langkawi.

You never know when the price will take a deep plunge, well I don't think I should reveal our cost again but the retail price of RM21.50 for Ferrero Rocher is just crazy.

If you want to buy Ferrero Rocher, now is the best time.

Wine is a personal preference....

When we first started the alcohol business, it was really a torture to try to understand so many different kind of alcohols and wines. I particularly find it challenging and yet stressful learning about wines. It was a nightmare trying to purchase wines for the shop, let alone trying to sell to our customers.

From the very beginning, we know that products knowledge are crucial but after many not so fruitful learning experience from our suppliers, we decided to help ourselves instead. For many years now, we tasted, we read, share and continue to learn from suppliers who are good (not that many to be honest) but we learn the most from sharing with our customers.

To me, nothing is more satisfying than selecting the 'correct' wines for our customers. It is not just about trying to sell..sell...SELL....

When our customers walk into our wines section without any knowledge, it is our duty to help them selecting the "correct" wines. I don't usually begin with,

"How much is your budget?" (Many salesperson will try to upsell their wines if you do not know a thing about wine)

instead..........TASTES......

Sweet, Dry, High Tannin...the very BASIC.....

We can go on and on to explain to you how great the wines is but if you do not enjoy the wines, then it is not a good wine at least to you. So what if it is a great Chateau, Premier Cru, Special Edition, great vintage...all these will be ZERO if they do not match your palate....

Wine is a personal preference to be honest. Yes...it tastes "difference" with some knowledge about wines but afterall, it is you who know if you like it. And remember, do not let others tell you otherwise.
