Baeri Caviar
in Master Tins of 1.8 kg per table of ten

Of the three, the baeri undoubtedly had the smoothest taste highlighted by deep nutty and buttery undertones. The baeri possessed a very low salt content and was notably distinguishable from the other two varieties as it had an exceptionally large roe size with golden brown coloring. The overall "pop" from the egg was modest but not exceptional. Most notably, the baeri contained no aftertaste. Many farmed raised caviars suffer from an algae-like aftertaste that many customers have described as "grassy". The baeri definitely lacked any aftertaste whatsoever. Overall, we were impressed with the baeri.

“For me, true luxury can be caviar……….
 or a day with no meetings, no appointments and no schedule.” Michael Kors




Such luxury doubly blessed 60 of us in Singapore on a lazy Sunday brunch on the 9th June. The sheer delight of more caviar than you can reasonably eat, combined with a schedule akin to the stress of a Bhutanese hilltop retreat, is not something you often enjoy in the hustle and bustle of our little tropical island. Caviar from the Beluga sturgeon is almost impossible to find nowadays due to its critically endangered status, so we instead sourced our caviar from the Siberian sturgeon which produces Baerii caviar. This caviar is sublimely delicate with a very clean crisp taste on the palate, balanced with subtle after-flavours of nuts. The salty flavour is very charming and not overpowering.  1,800 gms of beautiful sparkling pearls from this ancient fish was placed on each table, and you could see the ten pairs of eyes fixated on this pure indulgence. Even the usual verbal cacophony of convivium, characteristic of Chaîne events, was more muted than usual. Balanced with personally cooked buffet items, the expectations of the event were not overblown and ended with members asking for this event to be institutionalized on a yearly basis. Clearly, this opinion was unanimous.
