KC Resort & Over Water Villas is delighted to introduce the new promotion on Thursday nights; T3 - Tannin Tapas Thursday!

To welcome 2012, KC has launched new special for this new year called T3 on every Thursday night. The T3 explains, what it is all about; Tanin, Tapas, and Thursday. 

Tannin is for the wine. Tannins provide an important flavor dimension in wine. They are an excellent antioxidant and natural preservative; also helping give the wine structure and texture. Tannins are a family of natural organic compounds that are found in grape skins, seeds, and stems. Additionally, during the aging process oak barrels infuse tannin into the juice.

Tapas are a wide variety of appetizers, or snacks, in Spanish cuisine. They may be cold such as mixed olives and cheese or warm such as chopitos, which are battered, fried baby squid.
And Thursday is when the T3 Special takes place.

T3 is available every Thursday Night at The Wine Lounge. For more information, please contact +66 77428088. Or follow our frequent update on facebook page and twitter.

A noble dish is a turkey, roast or boiled. A Christmas dinner, with the middle classes of this empire, would scarcely be a Christmas dinner without its turkey; and we can hardly imagine an object of greater envy than is presented by a respected portly pater-familias carving, at the season devoted to good cheer and genial charity, his own fat turkey, and carving it well.
