I LOVE PRAGUE FOOD !!!

Winter is coming !!! I love to see snow but none in S'pore. Talking about snow, my first encounter was in Prague. It's been many years and I can still feel the atmosphere. In Prague, the snow was the best, the buildings were amazing and finally the FOOD. I love one of Prague traditional dish, it is known as Svickova. I love the sauce and the tender meat, and....and the whipped cream, a great complement.

It was served with bread and cranberry jam. Here's a recipe. I hope it's the right one. LOL
