What I ate today - the food thread

[Captain Halliday]

As a Hilton Gold, continental breakfast is include for me +1.

This benefit usually turns into frustration when travelling with the family.

However, Hilton Garden Inn Innsbruck not only extended breakfast to all three of us, but also included the hot buffet and offered to make eggs or omelette.

The omelette was served rolled and was very nice.

Yesterday's meal on QR828 yesterday.
Starting off with the wine list.



















And other drinks.




Now the menus.




I started naturally with the Grand Seicle. Was it nicer than the LP brut -yes. Would I pay the extra over LP brut -no.
After take off I had a glass of the Alsace riesling. I enjoyed it.
Mrsdrron declined breakfast. I had the beef bresaola.


Enjoyable.
For her meal Mrsdrron just had the Beef tataki which was very nice and a bowl of berries and cream.




I staggered my main meal over 3 hours with the desert about 1 hour out of BKK. Started with an amusee bouche.


I began with the simmered abalone and seared scallop. Normally not too fussed on abalone but this was quite good.


Then I had the Alaskan King crab legs. The crab on top was overcooked but a lot more crab in the sauce underneath which was really good.


Those 2 dishes were specials to celebrate Chinese New Year,
For dessert I had the berries but they had run out of cream. Probably better for me as I got more berries including some delicious mulberries,

Over the flight I had 2 glasses of the Bordeaux which was excellent. I had a glass each of the other 2 reds which were nice. Ended with an excellent glass of sauterne.
