what are you eating today?

[ProfMonnitoff]

It's my mom's birthday tomorrow and she booked a dinner at Meinl am Graben... imagine that the best supermarket (they have food that none of you have ever SEEN before, just in regular stock) in the world made a restaurant and hired some of the world's best cooks... I'll try to sneak in a camera. Shit's amazing. I had Beef Tartar for lunch there last year after exams and I'm still craving it

[Pogi]

that's right! it was an affordable source of protein for people then. we're still doing it now. not "a" runny egg, but TWO! did you try it when you were here? it's usually consumed with a drizzle of dark soy sauce and white pepper. but i slurp it neat.

Yes I tried it! Not quite my cup of tea though. Even with the soy sauce and pepper I found it bland.

I much preferred the kaya toast and morning dimsum.

Breakfast from the other day

BBQ chicken noodle soup x cupcake x slurpee

Hotcakes x custard tart

[soepom]

Felix those pictures from your dad's dinner are great. I am particularly fond of that 2nd pic, with the oasis of food encircled by delicate white froth.

ProfMonnitoff eagerly awaiting the pics from your dinner! Culinary espionage!

mum made a nice simple lunch - salad and roasted chicken wings

cost of meal for 2: approximately 4.50USD

[valhalla]

supposedly a home-made "light dinner" before the champagne-guzzling soiree with the sl*t...

bruschetta

prosciutto di parma with melon and arugula

tasty!

[dizzle]

nice looking meal as usual valhalla. would rep if i could.

[Frey]

damn i'm drooling. its getting late, i need to go grab something to bite from the fridge.

[ProfMonnitoff]

Felix, I need some help. I don't know any of the English names of the stuff I ate. It's something I have to work on, it's really embarrassing to be at a Restaurant where the menu is in English and have to ask "what's that?" all the time.

Either way, here's my report on the dinner at Meinl. My photography isn't very good unfortunately.

Zweierlei von der Wachtel mit Sellerie und Holunderblüten

Artischockensuppe mit gebeiztem Saibling

Seezungenfilets im gelben Paradeiserfond mit Auberginen

Lammrückennüsschen in der Korianderkruste auf jungen Rüben und gefüllten Crêpes

Mandel-Crême Brulée mit Karameleis, Ananas und Kiwi

They were all gone before I could take a picture

Really good chocolate cake of some sort

Something that my brother had. I really liked the presentation of this one. Too bad my picture doesn't capture the colors very well.

Did you actually buy those melons and peaches??? omg!!! their hellava expensive man...

if so, how do they taste? any better than the normal ones you get at the market?

[soepom's sl*t]

Been on a chicken rice quest. Methinks it's subconscious. Or random. What's a hypoteneuse?

This one was okay only... but had to queue up for 20 mins to order it.

[Felix]

@Prof: it's really hard to translate your dishes correctly...

but this link really helps : http://odge.de/

[soepom]

mum made lunch bento for me to take to work:

bought her dinner in return:

5 spices beef slices (ooh it rhymes!), stir fried sour-spicy pork shreds

stir fried mutton "one-noodle" (the whole plate is actually one 4metre strand of noodle!)

xiao long bao

i love open kitchens where you can watch your food being made fresh.

[proteus]

That's not a ring, it's a fricking chandelier!

my question is, how do you guys keep your figures with all this good food around..

[valhalla]

^^ haha this has been asked numerous times, and answered just as frequently. most of the time we just eat whatever we want without swallowing.

[Frey]

[nettiemoore]

[jwied82]

lunch

Ground turkey breast burger with feta, hummus, and mixed lettuce (picked fresh from my front yard) on 9-grain roll. It was amazingly good.

after that had a cup of dannon lemon yogurt.

[soepom]

rirawin! finally some proper food pics from you. the tomato (toh-MAY-toh) with cheese looks like it needs to find its way to my tummy.

jpgm the red bean pancake was pretty damn good indeed. we managed to stuff that down our throats after that noodles and meat.

valhalla it looks like there's been some serious cooking done at your place. nice job. both of you.

diamonds yay you're eating! that chicken teriyaki actually looks pretty decent lah!
