I've tried the sepia one time in Paris, need to do it again. Nicest risotto I ever had was a saffron risotto at La Trompette in London. Reminded me of delicious Iranian rice. [nt]

Surf & turf Croatian style
Just in case anyone was still unsure, Croatian cuisine is well and truly kicking in Vienna. This is a different establishment from the one I have posted about recently - more centrally located but with equivalent quality food. I stuck to my non-meat regim...
Music to my ears :)
Only thing we will have to work on is wine with shout out to dearest friend from down under who I muss much but I know he'll read this and message fro Art...look at that oil ...
Wine was something recommended for my wife, who did not want anything too dry. It actually worked relatively well :)
But happy to follow any recommendations you may have Food looks adequate for a visit to Vienna?
Was it really . . .
. . . four years ago?! Thanks for reminding me, Damjan. Egg white scramble prepared with, amongst other ingredients, Croatian olive oil and truffle . . . a breakfast to remember! Art ...
Time flies like an arrow...........
fruit flies like a banana Four years and it still looks delicious Ahhhh time goes to fast Yours D
Only a banana?
Fruit flies are less choosy here - they adore apples and other fruit, too
The reminder or the aperitif? ;)
Time for lunch, actually - but not Croatian today...
Fantastic!
Same oil Looks very delicious indeed - not quite breakfast time yet but has me hungry already!
truffles..YUM!
For me swordfish (cooked) has a tough texture but I never had it as a carpaccio. Does it taste good that way? -MW
Very good - adequately tender, nothing to worry about!
A lovely cold starter Should give it a try...
I'm not a seafood guy, my wife is, but I can handle truffles + scallops....
and shark fins, abalones (Hong Kong Ah Yat's style).... Looks good for a "fast food" ) Rgds Raymond
As said - no reason for fast food not to be tasty ;)
Not had abalone since NZ ages ago but liked it lots! Not sure I ever had shark fin soup, though...
4000 post already?!! You joined 5 months before me...I'm 4x behind...Congrats.
I just saw it on Nico's post on JLC before I noticed. Thank you for all the informative and experience sharing of your posts. Looking forward to more! Rgds Raymond
Thank you so much!
I guess that is the advantage of having a small daughter and bringing her to bed at 8. As I am largely not sleepy at that point but have to keep the environment dark, PuristSPro is a good place to be Expensive but fun and educational Will do my best to co...
Thanks for your support!
With all of you encouraging me I may post more - caveat emptor!
Truly tasty indeed!
Croatian seafood usually has very few ingredients but is absolutely delicious.
I never thought that the scallops would complement it so well :)
The sepia risotto was delicious, too, though!
The local French place makes a lovely saffron risotto...
Will look if I have pictures. With bok choi and scallops...
Surf and turf, American style . . .
. . . and yes, this was Friday night's supper. Nothing fancy, just grilled salmon and beef flank steak. Well, there was one fancy touch. A special bottle, reserved for a special occasion. Art ...
Wow - American sized, too :)
Looks great on the grill and am sure it tasted great, too! And I hope you had a nice celebration of the special occasion!
Wow! that's a good
old style classic american cabernet. How does it compare to it's napa sibling? best henry
This is going to sound silly, but . . .
. . . I didn't even take a sip of the cabernet. Had a mug of freshly made grapefruit soda instead. :-(
