International Wine and Food Society Festival 2025 at the Four Seasons Hotel.

Описание: Friends,

Both Geethika Sree & I, together with Zaridah Mallik (DiDa of DiDance) and her dancers Aniqa & Puteri Qaisara, had a superb time performing for the International Wine and Food Society last night, on 8 Nov 2025 at the Four Seasons Hotel.

It was a ‘formal’ dinner with wine tasting. On the table were neatly placed stacks of immaculate wine glasses for the different wines to be served with dinner.

The elegantly dressed guests from different parts of the world, were treated, not only, with different ‘rasa’ of the taste bud but also the ‘rasa’ of Dance - Odissi by Sutra and Tari Asyik (Kelantan court dance) by DiDance.

There was also a superb Jazz band, adding ‘zing’ to the culinary experience.

I had not danced in full Odissi costume for some time then due to my ankle operation. Months turned into years and I actually thought that I had lost my dance ‘mojo'. I have to thank chef extra-ordinare Jessie Nathan and May Peng, who insisted that I should perform.

It was lovely to dance together with DiDa who has been a dance colleague ever since I returned back from Australia, more than 4 decades ago. We were able to spend quality time together as we prepared ourselves, reminiscing on the good times. We truly missed our dear dance friends who had disembarked, leaving us still travelling on the train of Life.

Indeed, it was a special night and a pleasure to dance for an audience who appreciated the Good Life - good wine and food, savoured with a dash of tasteful dance.
