A visit from Uncle Vandepoon

I was visited for the second time in a year by Uncle Vandepoon who brought gifts from the Vandepoons themselves - thanks guys! After recovering from jet lag, it was suggested that we go out to celebrate my getting a year older and that we should go somewhere nice.


Nice?! Usually when I go out to dinner in Munich, it's to a biergarten, bierhall, or somewhere that has large servings (hi Trung!). In the end, Blackie recommended going to Schuhbeck's Orlando, saying that he went there with his mother and sister and that it was surprisingly cheap! 


 Located in the same square as the Hofbrauhaus (heh), it was pretty good, and it was cheaper than expected! We shared a bottle of wine and a bottle of water (that cost about the same as a litre of bier) a salad with calamari, and each had a place of truffled linguine. 

The linguine. Seriously good - that foam tasted like truffles! It was exactly my type of comfort food - I might actually consider coming back to eat it whenever I'm having a crappy day!

Cheers/Prost!

Thanks to Uncle Vandepoon for dinner, and a recommendation for visitors that if they're looking for a not too expensive gourmet dish, this is it!
