I’ve thoroughly enjoyed these Switzerland blogs and photos
Breakfast at Antonio’s in Tagaytay makes good roesti. Still not in Manila, but close enough to drive to if the craving is bordering on insane.
Saucisson vaudois ROCKS! I first found it in Santis, about a year-and-a-half ago, and until reading your blog, did not realize that Vaudois refers to the Vaud canton in Switzerland.
You learn something new every day!

A friend introduced me to your blog, first because I am a Pinay foodie in France. And to this series in particular because we will be moving to Vevey soon. Sausage, here I come!

Thanks for sharing your food adventures.
Happy birthday!

What a glorious pot of melted cheese! I like the color of the tomato fondue too, but my heart is a traditional sort, so I now hanker for a pot of basic fondue, to dip some bread in. Sigh. I think I will be left making myself a grilled cheese sandwich instead.

Oh Lori! My tummy is roaring now!

I’ll never forget my first fondue in Switzerland…complete with the Swiss lady waitstaff scraping the tutong for us afterwards

I enjoyed all the articles and pictures of Switzerland and, earlier, Japan, Netherlands and all the other places you’ve been to. I don’t usually post comments (like perhaps most of your visitors) but I do read your blog regularly. These are all beautiful pictures and insightful articles. Could be the closest I could get to “being” in Switzerland. Cheers!

Thanks, Negrosdude. I know those places, actually. Though I’ve never had breakfast at Barracuda Bar, I agree — Cafe del Sol has the best coffee. Decent desserts, too (something which used to be nearly nonexistent on Boracay).

where in Manila can one have good roesti? maybe Swiss Inn? or the German Club in Makati? I’m not sure about Manila, but this I can tell you: the BEST roesti you can have comes with the most scrumptious cholesterol-laden breakfast you can gorge your hungry self on at Jun and Maricar Sacapano’s breakfast/lunch counter at the Barracuda Bar in Boracay: roesti with melted gruyere which I have with an order of cervelat sausage and fried egg (some brave souls with stout hearts ask for TWO eggs) and delicious thick nice bread from the Swiss bakery slathered with Anchor butter (unfortunately the coffee there isn’t good – I usually have mine at Juan Elizalde’s Cafe del Sol at D’Mall after breakfast- their coffee is specially ground for them by Boyd’s. – good!) the whole gorgeous meal costs about P275; Barracuda Bar’s located not far from where Regency resort hotel (if you’re coming from D’Mall) is.

After all your posts, I am now seriously, seriously craving roesti. I do so love that dish, and don’t often see it. Even less often, see it done well, with the obligatory golden-brown, crunchy top. I had a good roesti in Puerto Galera once, since a lot of German and Swiss tourists go there and many restos serve European cuisine. Would you know where there is good roesti in Manila?
