Food Vacation? What is that?? Please let me explain. I L-O-V-E going on vacations. (Who doesn't, right??) City trips, island hopping, exploring other cultures(and - of course! - their food), getting away from home & just enjoy the excitment of not being at home. Wonderful.
Unfortunately sometimes even if you really, really, really want to go away, even if it's just for a couple of days, it is not so easy. For exmpale, we planned to have a 4 days trip between October 31st and November 3rd. First we just couldn't decide where to go - city trips in Novembers in Europe tend to be cold and windy, and going farther away does require a bit more time (and money, who am I kidding.)
Disappointed we finally came to the perfect solution: why spending money going somewhere else when we couldn't even decide where to go and instead just stay in Vienna for four days and have a Food Vacation? HÄH?? I am still wondering why I didn't come up sooner with this brilliant idea?
So I made a plan. For this 4 days we are going to have a real Food adventure. I searched for restaurants, looked through Viennas event calenders, browsed websites for themed brunches, etc. And finally came up with a list.
So here we are, Food Vacation Day 1. We started with Sushi. Oh yes. :)
Maybe - even if you don't know me in person - you have figured out that I am not only obsessed with my bunnies but also with raw fish.
I am so obsessed that I was thinking about dressing my bunnies as Nigiris (inspired by the owner of the famous bunnies Eddy and Rambo, two cute little hoppels (of course not as cute as Cooks and MuffMuff ;)
I think I even saw a baby halloween costum where you can dress up your baby as a Maki roll! Aaaaah, I want that costum. And no, I am not a mom and I don't have a baby (yet), but well... that is why you call people obsessed, right? Or crazy.
Anyway.
I would love to introduce you to MOCHI, a wonderful Japanese restaurant which is so popular that you have to book a table WAY in advance. And even if you get a table, it is possible that you have a very strict timeframe (about 1,5-2 hours), because there is already another guest waiting for some delicious sushi. But the best part of Mochi - at least in my opinion - are the friendly waiters and other staff members! It doesn't happen very often that you have people working in a restaurant in Vienna that don't bark at you - it was refreshing! :)
Maki (Best Friends Roll, Gurkenmaki, California Roll)
And then we had the best chocolate mousse I ever had: Topped with crumbles and raspberries - I was in food heaven.
