| 3. Jacquesson Cuvee N 733 from Beam Global Asia (S$99)
Nothing like popping a bottle of bubbly to celebrate both a picnic and the occasion in style. And mind you, not just any bubbly but three-star Le Classement champagne Jacquesson, brought to Singapore by Beam Global Asia just three months ago. One of our favourites is the Jacquesson Cuvee N 733, a fruity champagne which packs a delicious punch. With very fresh, elegant and full flavours, its palate-pleasing notes are intense on the nose and in the mouth, making it a must-have for this occasion. |

| 4. Chocolate Truffles from Truffs (S$24 for a box of 9)
Its purported aphrodisiacal qualities notwithstanding, the lusciousness of these handmade truffles are reason enough to grab a box or two for this picnic. Bespoke, fresh and simply top-notch, we daresay that Truffs rolls out some of the best gourmet chocolates you can find in town. We particularly fancy the 66% Antilles dark chocolate truffles—a brilliant medley of almond and coffee flavours hidden within the pure, rich chocolaty goodness. End off your picnic on this extremely worthy, ambrosial note. |
