As usual, Mr. Cai Lam will open the Weibo platform one month before the lunar calendar every year, and talk to readers about everything from eating, drinking and playing to life. A netizen said that he has AB blood type and asked his husband what blood type he has? Cai Lam said: "I drink a lot of brandy, I am an X.O. type." Some netizens complained to him: "Isn't it too miserable to be called a 'not outstanding woman' because you like cooking?" The husband was filled with indignation: "What the hell bastard Egg! "Mr.'s attitude towards life is really interesting.
As a human being, the most important thing is to be happy! Chua Lam is a famous Hong Kong writer, gourmet, traveler, filmmaker... and a "player" in the eyes of many people. The old man, who is almost 80 years old, was a guest on "Thirteen Invitations" last year. He still ate meat and drank wine with a rosy face and no less fun. Cai Lam once said that even if he were allowed to live three more lives, he would not be enough. TVB also has a classic dialogue: "The most important thing in life is to be happy."
In order to teach everyone to have fun in time and enjoy life, as early as the 1990s, TVB produced the travel program "Cai Lam Sighs the World", allowing the most playful Chua Lam to travel around the world with celebrities, and experience the highest things in life. Enjoy life scenes. On the banks of the snow-capped mountains and lakes in Switzerland, he took Shao Meiqi and Li Qihong to drink red wine and eat beer-made cheese, grilled venison, and freshly squeezed milk... Looking at Shao Meiqi's satisfied expression, it was like "her eyebrows have fallen off".
He took Michelle Reis to Hokkaido to eat the best Japanese food and admire the top open-air hot springs. At that time, Michelle Reis was still single. While sighing at the hot springs, she expressed her views on mate selection: "The most important thing is that people are nice and treat me well."
"Sighing the world" means enjoying life carefree in Cantonese. Hong Kong people are known far and wide for their ability to “know how to drink, eat, and marvel at the world.” Many celebrities in Hong Kong are experts in eating, drinking, and having fun. As the goddess of generations, Brigitte Lin always looks otherworldly on the screen. "Qingxia drinking" has become a classic moment in Hong Kong movies.
Unexpectedly, as soon as my sister appeared on the reality show, she exposed her "foodie nature" because of a drunken crab. After a round of charging, her eyes were blurred and she sighed: "It is a great enjoyment in the world." In the face of delicious food, my sister happily revealed It turns out that Xing Liyuan used a few hairy crabs to chase her. Brigitte Lin is the goddess who refuses to eat the fireworks of the world, while Zhang Xiaohui is the flower of wealth who once said, "You can skip meals or buy clothes." That said, has Ms. Zhang ever wronged her stomach?
As early as 2003, she wrote an article about "Tea Tea House" in "Sing Tao Daily". From Hong Kong's Golden Phoenix Milk Tea Tan Dao Coffee Tsui Wah Fish Eggs to New York's Fried Double Egg Hash Brown Bacon Mushrooms, she knows them all and says she never gets tired of eating them.
She can be picky about exquisite Italian food, but she also said that she can eat it for a lifetime. From the appetizer of fresh semi-soft mozzarella cheese to the main dish of T-bone grilled steak, served with seasonal black cherries. Zhang Xiaohui has never been shy and is not as reserved as other female stars.
Now, what she advocates is that "you have to buy clothes as well as food."
Many celebrities who "know sigh" will develop their hobbies into careers.
Since "Coffee Prince" Chen Hao started running his own coffee brand, celebrity has become a sideline, and coffee is his main business. When joining a group for filming, you should also bring a commercial coffee pot. Get up early before starting work every day and make coffee to entertain your colleagues. Li Jiaxin, his co-star in "The Killer", said, "I am no longer afraid of working until the early morning."
Same hobbies can also become a tacit understanding between partners. Chen Hao and his wife Chen Yinwei got together because of coffee. After ex Liao Bier broke up with him, she started studying red wine.
Liao Bier later gradually obtained the international wine tasting qualification, and also brewed a personal brand wine in Bordeaux, named "Bellavizio", which means beautiful mistake in Chinese. This wine later won 7 an international honor. A small hobby has become internationally recognized, and Liao Bier feels very excited.
In fact, there are so many good things to eat, drink, and have fun. The most popular one among the gluttonous people, and the one they even cannot refuse is fine wine.
They have wine, do you have a story? In the late 1980s, Ni Kuang, Huang Zhan, and Chua Lam, three of Hong Kong's most talented people, hosted a talk show called "Undefended Tonight." Each episode starts with a drink to warm up the show, and the topics always have a hint of tipsiness.
Their topics are free-spirited and unstructured. Once Huang Zhan asked everyone to share an interesting story, and Ni Kuang talked about his first experience of visiting Qiong Yao in Taiwan. He said that at that time, Qiong Yao walked down the stairs gracefully with two noble dogs, and asked with a smile: "Mr. Ni, what would you like to drink?"
Ni Kuang looked at Qiong Yao's exquisite demeanor. Embarrassed to say brandy directly, she deliberately said politely: "I want to drink alcoholic liquid made in France." After hearing this, Qiong Yao said "ok" and walked back upstairs. Unexpectedly, when she came down, she handed one to Ni Kuang. French perfume... Ni Kuang was frightened on the spot.
Ni Kuang, Huang Zhan, and Cai Lan are all wine lovers. Someone once commented that Huang Zhan was "a lover of sex, a lover of wine, and a lover of money." Huang Zhan re-evaluated himself after learning about it: "A lover of women has no courage, a lover of wine has no limit, and a lover of money has no ability."
Just like Li Bai's wine poem Like thousands of stories, wine is also the source of inspiration for Huang Zhan. In "Flying Light" he wrote the lyrics, there is a sentence: "Half drunk and half awake, thousands of smiling eyes", describing the postures of the green snake and the white snake in just a few words.
The classic foreign wine advertisement in the 1990s, "Remy Martin starts to bloom", was also written by him after he was drunk and inspired. As soon as this sentence came out, it swept the wine industry and made Remy Martin a household name.
Cai Lam said that he inherited his good drinking ability from his mother. At the age of 78, she could drink a bottle of brandy in two days.
One time Ni Kuang went to Chua Lam's house in Singapore for lunch. Chua Lam's mother asked Ni Kuang tentatively: "I heard that you like drinking very much?" Ni Kuang was afraid that the old man would not like "alcoholic", so he pretended to be reserved: "I only drink a little bit, and I drink only after dark. I don't drink during the day. Drinking during the day is too decadent!"
After the third course, Cai Lan's mother suddenly slapped the table: "Ni Kuang! If you don’t want to drink, I’ll drink! At my age, I’m not afraid of falling into disgrace!” Ni Kuang said so that his face turned red. It turned out that my aunt wanted to have a drink with him!
Ni Kuang has a famous saying about wine. The first half of the sentence is "I won't drink until the sun goes down." The second half is "There is always a place in the world where the sun never sets."
Cai Lam also has his own theory about the theory of "drinking during the day leads to degeneration": "A person who can drink early in the morning means that he is a person who can control his own time and is a free person. , I am very happy.”
Well, why can’t a great writer make up a reason for drinking?
There are also many celebrities in the industry who are experts at drinking. For example, Carina Lau is the famous "wine fairy" in the industry. Growing up in Suzhou, she has been familiar with the aroma of heated rice wine since she was a child - it is the happiness of a family gathered around the dinner table.
After growing up, Carina Lau still has a special liking for wine. Not only does she have a good drinker, but she also knows what kind of food goes with what kind of wine, what kind of wine should be drunk in what kind of atmosphere, and she is very particular about it. .
Tony Leung also likes to drink, and he drinks while immersed in a role. For example, when I read a book by Haruki Murakami recently, he would go to Japanese bars and sushi restaurants alone and drink sake or beer alone. Carina Lau joked: "He wants to play Haruki Murakami himself."
If you are super rich, you will often spend a lot of money to satisfy your love for wine. "Entertainment tycoon" Lin Jianyue and one of the "four richest men in Hong Kong" Liu Luanxiong are both famous wine kings in Hong Kong. Lin Jianyue once said that discovering old wine is like discovering potential artists. It is his pleasure.
He said that witnessing a box of wine slowly transform from freshness to simplicity and elegance is like witnessing a star from being unknown in his debut to becoming famous. The process is long and arduous, and cultivating a superstar is just like witnessing it. Just like making cult wine, the right time, right place and right people are indispensable. When Liu Luanxiong was young, he loved to party, so he spent a lot of time buying fine wines of different vintages and brands, claiming to have spent more than 1 billion.
In October last year, Liu auctioned 117 bottles of his "private collection" at Sotheby's in 38 years. The transaction volume reached 53.04 million, more than double the original estimate.
It seems that the rich in Hong Kong are willing to spend money just to "sigh on fine wine". Food and wine are the only things you can't live up to
In TVB's wealthy dramas, you can always see rich people shaking their wine glasses and talking about big deals worth hundreds of millions. In workplace dramas, lawyers and doctors gather at a bar for happy hour after get off work. If they have any worries, they can talk about it over a drink. In the movie, the sophisticated middle-class people hold wine tasting parties, and they also enjoy tasting the vintage of the wine on their tongues, which is called "blind drinking".
Why has wine become a favorite of rich and famous people? In addition to the scarcity of certain wines, of course there is also the enjoyment of the tongue and the subtle pleasure of being tipsy.
Under the influence of alcohol, people will be relatively relaxed and no longer bound by traditional and secular values. They can express themselves more vividly when talking, as if they have awakened their true self. No wonder Carina Lau said, "If you know how to drink, you will understand two kinds of life."
Wine tasting is never a simple "sip of boredom", but an elegant and interesting art worthy of study. Do you know how much energy and time it takes to create a high-quality Champagne Cognac?
The House of Rémy Martin held a cognac feast called "Traveling through the Cantonese Realm" at the Guangzhou Grand Theater, which integrated installation art, high technology, wine tasting, and party entertainment. Sister E and the beautiful girls were invited to experience this innovative interactive experience event.
Grapes are the core and soul of Cognac. Only the superior quality Ugni Blanc grapes can give Cognac its unique flavor and fragrant aroma. The raw materials for brewing high-quality Champagne Cognac must be produced in The Ugni Blanc grapes are grown in the Cognac region of Charente, so as soon as you enter the exhibition hall, the "Maison Rémy Martin" uses a light and shadow wall to show you a bustling vineyard scene.
The secret of the fragrance of grapes lies in the soil where they are grown. What the "Cognac Charm" area shows us is the unique chalk land map in the heart of French Cognac.
In the next area, we begin to experience the brewing process immersively.
In the "grape dreamland" full of technology, crystal-clear Ugni Blanc grapes are grown in the garden. The staff reminds us that we can "pick" one before embarking on the ingenious journey of making cognac. road.
Then we enter the "Way of Distillation". The freshly picked "grapes" are put into the distillation pipe, pressed and fermented, and then double distilled with slag in a small copper still until it condenses. Into drops of colorless and transparent "water of life".
Give the colorless and transparent eaux-de-vie to the brewing ambassador, and he will help us put it into Limousin oak barrels that have been bent by fire. During the long storage time, the eaux-de-vie will gradually transform into a fragrant liquid of deep amber color after time. Very ceremonial! The longer the eaux-de-vie spends time with Limousin oak barrels, the more mellow its color becomes. The exhibition uses a "light show" to show this wonderful change.
Due to different raw materials and brewing time, a small cup of Cognac will unexpectedly blend the flavors of many foods, such as candied fruit, Christmas fruit cake, honey, tangerines... This is also the joy of wine tasting. Bar!
Warm reminder, you can use your mobile phone to scan the code to check in for the above journeys. Each scan is equivalent to lighting up a Remy Martin map. When the map is all lit up, you can exchange it for an exquisite Remy Martin Life. water as a memorial.
Under the leadership of Bruce, the chief brand ambassador of "Remy Martin", we also enjoyed a "gluttonous feast".
Bruce said that Rémy Martin X.O can amplify the experience of food on the taste buds, such as the mellowness of dark chocolate, the sweetness of tangerines... Mr. Bruce also provided an idea for food that goes with wine: keep one in mind Capital "C". This "C" can be cake, cheese, chocolate, Corn, etc.
The last stop of the journey must be highly recommended - the modern central bar!
In order to enrich the guest experience, the bar has launched five special cognac cocktails. Each guest can receive a free drink, and you can consult the taste when ordering. Among them, "Hongyun" was created on-site by Yuan Hong, Honorary Ambassador of Rémy Martin Greater China.
The materials include the excellent Rémy Martin VSOP premium champagne region cognac, the Yangloudong brick tea from Yuan Hong’s Hubei hometown, and the Cantonese’s favorite health-preserving wolfberry and red dates... It sounds very "wearable" "Cantonese" flavor.
But the favorite among the beautiful girls is one of the Cantonese-style cocktails called "Dongshan Master", which is made from VSOP, raspberry vinegar, beet juice, bitters and lime juice. It is finished, slightly sour and bitter in the mouth, and has a sweet aftertaste on the tongue after drinking. It is very suitable for girls to have a refreshing taste bud experience.
Friends who have a good drinker can try "Old Square". There are VSOP, bourbon whiskey, red vermouth, French lounge wine, bitters...
There is also a "Rixin Cantonese" with VSOP, Cantonese milk tea and Cointreau orange wine "This wine has the gentleness of milk tea in the mouth, but after drinking it, it has the aftertaste of X.O... Although the wine is good, please don't drink too much.
The House of Rémy Martin is an important carrier of Rémy Martin’s brand spirit. Through this immersive and wonderful journey, the heritage of Cognac’s craftsmanship and the brand’s teamwork spirit are presented to every consumer. who.
Since 2016, the House of Remy Martin has visited Guangzhou, Shanghai, Xiamen, Chengdu, Shenzhen and other cities. After five years, the House of Remy Martin has launched the new brand "As soon as Remy Martin opens, we "Brilliant" returns to the first stop of the wonderful journey to respond to the enthusiasm of Guangdong Cognac lovers.
The exhibition time is from 1/9 to 1/24, friends in Guangdong must not miss it! Sister E and the beautiful girls are already preparing for the second brush...don't persuade me! I want to get drunk!
Behind the exquisite life, quality is inseparable. Since 1972, for nearly 300 years, the Rémy Martin team has used its outstanding talents to gather together and work together to brew every drop of precious Cognac.
The creativity of this "Guangzhou Remy Martin House" is to turn the rigorous Cognac production process into a dreamy experiential journey, allowing visitors to follow the footsteps of a drop of Cognac and discover the Remy Martin brand Story, feel the process of a drop of grape juice transforming into amber wine.
After a little indulgence in the central bar, I realized that "weaving the world" is never just a matter of squandering money. The tasters invested time and patience in understanding the knowledge and stories behind the fine wines, and so did they themselves It's a lot of fun.
Only when you can feel the value of this kind of fun can you truly understand life and "sigh the world".
