SKMan Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 So who enjoys eating cheeses or cooking/baking with them ?What are you favourite brands ? Quote I just want to help my didi. Shall remain silent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTS Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 Well, I run a small cafe, and my suppliers meet my cheese supplies. But my favorite of all available cheeses are the dairy cheese products from Fonterra, New Zealand. I use lots of cream cheese and cheddar for baking, in which my customers loved the chicken baked rice... Used to have mates back in old AU days where we will savor a cheese platter with wine. Good varieties of cheese, wine and chat, but can't find anyone in Singapore to enjoy the platter with... Quote Procrastination... The biggest mental vacation one can have.

Icacius Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 I must admit I know nuts about cheese. However, I do know cheese and wine is definitely an enjoyment. Alas, the thought of gaining those extra pounds as a consequence is a downer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like from Polenghi, Zanetti, Parmalat, Bongrain etc. The ones i dislike most are those from the Emborg range. Quote I just want to help my didi.

Baloo Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 Cheeses I love... hard cheese, soft cheese, cheese that smells like 3 day old toe jam... cheese so salty, so delicious, smoked flavour... but i can never remember all their names... always had it 'carted' to me in all variety with wine... yes - wine will bring out the cheese flavour...and the trick to cheese is... taste a very small spoonful at a time... not eat like a slice of cake...absolutely wonderful... especially at places like Les Ames, some of our better hotels...take me to cheese village in the supermarket such as the one in Tanglin or 6th Ave... I'm LOST... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKMan Posted December 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 Grand Copthorne Waterfront Sunday Brunch.

Neuchatel, Livarot, Emmanthal, Madrigal, Brie, Montrachet.... to name a few.Cool.Note that hard chesses have long shelf life. Soft cheese like mascarpone, camembert and tallegio have shorter shelf life and tends to get mouldy real quick if kept improperly.If you are in the supermarkets, go for those who proper expiry dates printed on the packaging and NOT with those Use By labels. I know of merchants who "extend" the shelf life simply by using tinner to clean off the expiry date and then stickering a Use By label with an additional 1-2 weeks. So promotions may not always be a good thing Quote I just want to help my didi. Shall remain silent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
