FOOD AFFAIR: BISTROT BALTHAZAR, AVIGNON, FRANCE

I’ve developed a thing in France. I’ve become a slow eater. After the amazing 3-course-meal experience in Le Matafan, Hotel Mount Blanc, that took me 2 hours to finish, I continued to make history, beating my own record. It only meant one thing: I really enjoy French Cuisine.

Germany: Spaghetti Eis (Spaghetti Ice Cream)

In 1969, a creative phenomenal dish had sprung out in Mannhei, grabbing everyone’s attention in Germany’s ice cream industry. Mannheim’s own Willy Wonka- Dario Fontanelle is the man behind this now- German specialty. Stringy vanilla ice cream pressed through a chilled Spätzle press, topped with strawberry sauce that looks like tomato sauce, desiccated coconut playing as Parmesan cheese, this is literally an ice cream that can be your main dish of the night. Well next time when your parents insist that you have a main before ordering desserts, order a plate of “German Spaggs” *wink*
