Cuisine Crush Wien! Brunch Time with Art Nouveau at Hotel Sacher Salon

HOTEL SACHER

Philharmoniker Str. 4, 

1010 Wien

 

Das Original seit 1832, relish this unique revival of 1920s’ Art Nouveau luster, HOTEL SACHER SALON offers selected sweets and savoy highlights. 

 

In 1876, Eduard Sacher opened the HOTEL SACHER in Vienna. Vienna’s most distinguished gourmet, Anna Sacher, took over the management due to her husband’s poor health, even after his death. Nowadays, The Gürtler and Winkler families manage Sacher Hotel fortunes in Vienna and Salzburg. 

For the brunch time at HOTEL SACHER SALON, Vienna sausage in Austrian German, Frankfurter Würstel or Würstl, is a thin parboiled sausage traditionally made of pork and beef in a casing of sheep’s intestine, then given a low-temperature smoking, rather lighter, less saltier and much crispier comparing to any Cantonese or Taiwanese traditional sausage, together with two bowls of light yellow mustard, horseradish and two bread rolls, are the multi-tasty and energy-supply choice. 

As for the drinks, I am falling in love with Austrian herbal extracts carbonated soft beverage ALMDUDLER, which, is currently sold in original sugar-free, still and g’spritzt, mixed with carbonated mineral water versions. In the regions of Lower Austria and Burgenland, Radler, which is Almdudler mixed with beer or wine, is a popular alcoholic drink with locally produced red and white wines.

 

Produced from 1957 by the Viennese entrepreneur Erwin Klein (1924–83), ALMDUDLER was derived the name from the then-common phrase ‘auf der Alm dudeln’, which, means ‘yodeling in the Alpine pasture’. The drink was originally created and marketed as an alternative to alcoholic beverages, and Klein promoted its popularity through sponsoring at major sporting events, especially at the 1964 Winter Olympics held in Innsbruck. 

 

ALMDUDLER is as refreshing as jasmine iced tea with spackling water, or a less bubble version of Danish elderflower drink. Last but not the least, a mini cup of espresso is always the best assist to keep me going on the road. 

Fashion Fun Salzburg! Chloé Cashmere Brassiere, Zara Washed Jeans & Chanel Accessories at Mirabell Palace

July 24-28 Österreich

Guten Tag! Salzburg! The filming location of The Sound of Music, the hometown of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Heribert Ritter von Karajan, Salzburg has been inhabited continuously since the Neolithic Age until the present. 

 

Salzburg was first recorded in the late 8th century, the city of The Sound of Music composed of Salz-, German for ‘salt’ and the second being burg-, from Proto-West-Germanic, conveying the meaning of ‘fortified settlement’. The fortress of Hohensalzburg, one of the largest medieval fortresses in Europe, overlooking the Old Town, dates from the 11th century. Salzburg became a center of the Counter-Reformation in the 17th century, with stone-layer monasteries and numerous Baroque churches built. 

 

As being a fan of classic music, though missing the schedule of Wiener Philharmoniker debut at Salzburg Festival, still, I successfully book the tickets The Sound of Music from Salzburg Marionette Theatre and Schloss Konzerte Mirabell. Taking WESTBAHN train from Wien Westbahnhof to Salzburg Hbf and back with ÖBB, the 150 minute-journey offers the endless edelweiss village view. 

 

How to wear chic and comfort at Salzburg Festival? CHLOÉ 100% Cashmere Brassiere with hand knitted structure, provides a rather sexy outlook but soft touch on skin, together with CHANEL AW17 100% wool cardigan with square pockets, its wool stripes can be flown naturally or tied as a cute knot. Zara washed blue jeans are the summer bargain, it would be casual and chic to rolled 2 layers up, and decorate alongside the Chanel black and white 100% silk logo bandeau.

 

CHANEL espadrilles are my all-time favourite on the road, with shining calf skin as exterior and lamb skin inner soles, they are both comfortably and fashionably to stroll in old town Salzburg, uphill to the fortress Hohensalzburg. Made in Italy in calf skin, CHANEL le sac allows 3 compartments to store the essential cards, iPHONE, sanitary items and travel size cosmetics. Its adjustable leather chain is either on cross chest or fanny pack style. With the assist of 100% cotton tote bag to place a bottle of sparkling mineral water, MIU MIU sunglasses and the raisin snacks, Salzburg I am singing DO-RAY-MI as a summer celebration for my favourite sound of music. 

TOP TIP 1: A pair of Espadrilles is the best to either dress up and cool while walking in Salzburg 

TOP Tip 2: Have an umbrella just in case of drizzling rains while traveling in Austria
