Sushi at Yuki in Buenos Aires

| Sushi platter from Yuki, Buenos Aires |
When it comes to finding good sushi in Buenos Aires, it's a nearly impossible quest. Sure, if you like salmon, cream cheese and the mystery white fish, then you're all set. But if you're looking for the mythical red tuna (Ahi), you're out of luck...because even if you find it on a menu, it's usually inferior quality. So if you like a more traditional style of Japanese sushi, Buenos Aires has next to no options.
Except for Yuki.
Thanks to a review I read, I made it a priority to make sure I took a visit.I planned for months to goto Yuki but didn't get around to it until tonight. And it was well worth it.
They didn't have any fresh red tuna but were honest in saying that since it wasn't fresh, they wouldn't serve it. But even without it, the meal was superb.
In fact, when we told them "no queso crema" they explained how as a traditional sushi restaurant, they never use it anyways. Yes folks, in BA, most sushi has cream cheese...you have to ask to NOT have it when ordering.

As good a time as any to test out the iPhone Blogger app with some photos from this past Thanksgiving.
This year, Thanksgiving was in Buenos Aires, at an American restaurant, Kansas.
The meal consisted of turkey and stuffing, mashed potatoes, candied carrots, mashed sweet potatoes (with pecans and apples). And for dessert, pecan pie.

Jabali by Nature, Not Cause I Hate Ya

With the countdown on for my next move to another country, leaving Argentina, I'm going out of my way to enjoy the few food specialties Argentina has to offer. This pretty much means all the great beef via parrillas, empanadas, locro, helado, and Malbec.
But there is also the Patagonian cuisine to include on the list.
And for this meal, we headed to Ayers de Patagonia in Puerto Madero.
Here we had some of the best jabali I've had in Buenos Aires. The star of the show was the slow roasted & grilled wild boar (Jabali) with a black beer and spiced honey sauce, accompanied by caramelized pears and red cabbage chutney. Tender meat with crispy skin, it's a meal I'd go back for again.
The other entree was the Ciervo Huemul, a gamey yet tasty deer dish with papines, mushrooms and some broccoli. It was good, but overshadowed by the excellent jabali.

Oktoberfest Food

Come the end of September and beginning of October each year, I always use it as an excuse to experience good German food and beer in honor or Oktoberfest.
This year was no different. But I took it a step further by traveling to Villa General Belgrano in Argentina for their annual Oktoberfest, one of the best in the world. In fact, it is technically the 3rd largest in the world.
Before heading to the festival, I started it off with some home cookin':
Once in Villa General Belgrano, a town with an alpine feel to it, the food was a big step up. Here are a few samples from the restaurants we visited.
As for the Oktoberfest festival in Villa General Belgrano, here's a taste of what the atmosphere was in the town and the festival:
