minus 5 ice bar pattaya

When I talk about Pattaya, the things that come into my mind are bars, clubs, a-go-go, beach, banana boat, girls, farangs, lady boys, sunshine, walking street, seafood, and etc. Although Pattaya is one of the hottest places in Thailand that draws many tourists each year, there’s one place I need to mention here that will make this place a bit cooler. The minus 5 (-5 ice bar and super club) ice bar and super club is a new trendy and the coolest place in Pattaya located at Amari Nova Suit. As the name suggest, all the glasses, furniture, walls, and the bar itself are made of ice chilled at -5 degrees. Not to worry if you are going there with your with your bikini or swimsuit as guests are provided with winter clothes and gloves.

Want to buy something at the market? You will love this one. I have no idea where the heck is this market but this market is somewhere in Thailand. I think it’s the market where you can shop until you drop (by the train!)

Will red wine save us from heart disease?

Q: Will red wine save us from heart disease?
A: Maybe. There are many studies point out the benefits of drinking a glass of red wine per day (as for women), and 2 glasses of red wine a day (as for men) can lower the risk of heart attack for middle age people between 30-50 percent. Red wine may also prevent additional heart attack if you already suffered once. Other studies state that red wine can raise HDL Cholesterol and prevent LDL Cholesterol from forming. Red wine may help prevent clots and reduce blood vessel damage caused by fat deposit.

Q: What is in the red wine?
A: Red wine is a high source of antioxidants flavonoid phenolics, particularly resveratrol and flavonoids. Resveratrol can be found in grape skins and seeds. Resveratrol increases HDL Cholesterol and prevent blood clotting. Flavanoids exhibit antioxidant properties prevent blood clot and plaques formation in arteries.

But do not start drinking alcohol if you are not already drink alcohol as it may increase cancer risk as suggested by other studies.

Serving the perfect wine

The temperature is very important at which wine is served. Wine is ruined by being too warm than too cold. Serving the white wine at chilled and red wine at room temperature is a good advice. Little too warm and little too cold can lose character especially aroma. White wines are best served directly from the cellar but as for an inexpensive white wines, sparkling white wines, and sweet white wines are best a little colder or around 4-8 degrees or 2-3 hours in the fridge will be just fine. If you are pushed for time, put a bottle in an ice bucket filled half with ice and half with cold water in about 20 minutes. This will bring the wine down to the desired temperature. The red wines are best served at room temperature around 18-20 degrees. Light, fruity red, like Beaujolais are best served a little cool. Champagne, dessert wines, most sherry, and rose should be treated as white. Red port should be served at room temperature but tawny port can be chilled.

The best glasses for appreciating wines are made of plain, thin and clear glass and a tulip shape. Champagne should be served in tall flutes or thin tulip shape. Moreover, the glass should never be filled more than about half full as to allow room for swirling the wine around in the glass to release the aromas without splashing it.

SUMMARY
1. White and rose wines should be refrigerated just until chilled, for 1 or 2 hours.
2. Light red wines may be chilled only slightly.
3. Full-bodied red wines are always served at room temperature (18c – 20c).
4. When figuring servings, allow one glass of wine per guest per hour. The average serving of dinner wine or champagne is 3 to 3 1/2 fluids ounces; cocktail or dessert wine, 2 to 1/2 ounces.
