I was invited by multi-talented Director, Ko Kho to his private preview of a 13-part Symphony for Dance Drama, 'Set Sail' (启航) which is about the struggles of the Vietnamese boat people. Many of his guests were from the Arts circle. I have no idea how I ended on the invited list. :P
The event also featured a specially concocted 5-Element Fengshui Ice cream by Ms Sein Chan of Seventh Heaven for this launch. Hopefully the invited guests would receive loads of good luck during this difficult time. :D

One's birth date displays a certain weakness of the person. We were served ice-cream cocktail, followed by their main course. The dishes are concocted in accordance with the 5-Element (五行) philosophy.

I was recommended the Sea Salt Black Forest Ice-cream. It's the first time I taste a savoury ice-cream. The ice-cream is smooth and saltish. It's unique. I fell in love with their yummy crispy breadsticks dipped in its equally delicious anchovies in virgin olive oil.
There were another two more ice-cream but I was too busy tasting the ice-cream and chatting with new-found friends. I forgot to take photos. haha..... *embarrassed*

The main course was a hot Chocolate Lava cake paired with Apricot Liquor Ice-cream. Surprisingly, the milk-based Apricot Village Liquor known as fen jiu (汾酒) and chocolate cake complements the elements of Metal and Water for businessmen in Asia. These are auspicious representations. It will be too long if I explain this fengshui report in this post. :)
The liquor is too strong if taken on its own. Even though I was sipping it, I was overwhelmed by the strong liquor taste. But when I pour the liquor over the ice-cream, the combination is a fragrant and enjoyable dessert!
Made from Italian Amedei chocolate, the centre of the hot Lava cake is molten chocolate that melts your earthly desires. I was in Seventh Heaven. :)
Seventh Heaven is the first Singapore gourmet retail and events ice-cream company to offer customisation services. Their artisan, gourmet ice-cream is created from scratch by hand. The ice-cream is natural, no flavouring agents or chemicals are added.

The Chocolate Hot Lava cake sounds like my kind of cake too.I think you had a nice time.You lucky lah!

Mine is wood but I'd like it to be Fire because of the wild berries and hazelnut, lol. Seventh Heaven sounds really interesting. :D

ReplyDeleteOh no. Allergic to hazelnuts!? I love hazelnuts. I don't know the solution. :P
jean,
ReplyDeleteHappy International Women's Day, sista!!
The ice-cream has a unique taste. You would like both the ice-cream and the chocolate lava cake.
Yes, I'm lucky and blessed to meet lovely people like Ko Kho, you and readers through my blog. :D
liza,
ReplyDeleteYou can chose the ice-cream from the Fire element. haha....
Each individual favoured ice-cream is created to suit the person's 5-element. But you are free to choose the favour if you prefer.
I'd certainly taste the Chocolate Lava Cake and Apricot Liquor ice-cream.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend!
I think my element is blue, but not sure!
ReplyDeleteSounds like and exciting adventure! Never heard of it, but 'Sea Salt Black Forest Ice-cream, sounds delicious. Then again, I'm Norwegian and love all kinds of seafood you know.

ReplyDeleteWhen I lived in Terengganu, the Vietnamese boat people used to arrive on the beach in front of my house. The came in small blue fishing boats. I used to give them food and water. Then the police took them away and they were sent to a refugee camp on an island.
ReplyDeleteFengshui ice cream? I know a lot of fengshui stuffs but fengshui ice cream is a first for me! Haha! I guess it's just a marketing tactic by Seventh Heaven. Not bad, as will sure get people talking about it!
