Observations by a Malaysian studying in Australia

Go Wth The Flow

The German broadcaster Deutsche Welle (DW-TV) recently ran a report on the growing trend to drink mineral water.

A water bar has already cropped up in Paris and there is now such a thing as a water sommelier, who recommends which kind of water, based on oxygen, mineral and carbon dioxide content, goes best with the appetizers, and which ones are strictly for the main course. This is understandably very important, because the type of mineral water can make or break an otherwise lovely meal.

Trust the Europeans to make a whole gourmet fuss about something as plain as plain water. I just wished we had thought about it first.
