🇮🇹
for our last day we took a tour around the barolo and barbaresco hills, and stopped by for a lunch at osteria veglio in la morra, surrounding the barolo vineyards.
started with truffle and eggs and vitello tonnato. the tonnato sauce here was very light and not as concentrated in anchovy, but the veal itself was so tender and ‘milky’. followed by our last white truffle tajarin this trip and a lovely pumpkin and chestnut gnocchi with a light gorgonzola sauce. for mains, we were so excited for their offal offerings. starting with their tripe stew which they used 牛柏葉 rather than 牛肚 (which are both called tripe in english but are considered different cuts in hong kong). really loved their take on the tomato based jus which is balanced with ample amounts of cheese and a bit of chilli. also finally got to try a proper finanziera, with a rich gelatinous sauce within the stewed meatballs, chicken crown, livers, kidneys. ended with a tiramisu and really enjoyed their affogato.
