Demel, Vienna

No one can just walk past this classic looking white colored shop without stopping

coz it's window displays were just screaming and squealing at u wif beautiful delights

Demel Cafe, founded in 1786 by Ludwig Dehne

Later in 1857, his son sold it to the Demel family

and it was relocated to this outlet

so we were visiting the very very same historical confectionery of Demel

warning though....do not come here during Peak Hours

bcoz the queue is similar to those ppl outside Apple Shops waiting for their iPad 3.0 in Malaysia.

so we came here for a quick bite during lunch hour

*well in case u didn't know, peak hours are after lunch till before dinner*

however then, there were a few groups of curious onlookers peeping in

coz it doesn't look like a bakery at all

hehehehehehehhe

Demel was the Imperial and Royal Court's confectionery

shows how serious they were towards sweets~~~~~

mimicking the other tourists, we took a peep too

and soon found ourselves squealing over their beautiful creations

its Cakes display

OMG!!!! which one to order?!?!?!!

now I really wished I'm a cow with 4 stomachs!!!!

as I was dashing from display to display in girlie delights, I saw pieces of cakes were being served

customers were fast deciding wat they want...pointing to the glass display

those pretty yummy ones are soon to be gone!!!!

grrRRRRrrrrrrrrr-ing at those men with big tummies

tee hee hee :D yes I'm a notti monkey

then there's some pastries and tarts

and more pretty looking ones

and if u like rolls and sponge cakes they have em too!!!!

also some really crispy looking pastries dust in castor sugar

I was still dashing from display to display 

can't decide!!!!

then dashed back to the cakes display

OMG!!! 

QUICK!!! monkey quick!!! u are usually very good with decisions

but why the retard-ness this time????

I told myself not to let the sugar rush coats my mind

Demel is famous with their chocolate cakes

and they have more than 20 types of it

I was banging my head on the glass display and smacking myself

JS was rolling his eyes

in exasperation, I asked the lady there for recommendations

she told me so many types and in the end, narrowed them down to 5 chocolate cakes

I was thinking, I came all the way from Malaysia....I need to have a degustation of chocolate cakes from Demel

I actually asked her that, for a chocolate cake degustation menu, she gave me the wide eyed look

yeah silly me....no such thing ok!!!!

but frankly I don't think it's such a bad idea at all :))))

then we walked to the back of the cafe

there's the open kitchen, separated with glass for curious onlookers like me

the smell of cocoa buttery chocolate cake baking was enuff to lure anyone to order that damn piece of cake!!!!

I told JS: "I've never smelled any chocolate this chocolatey before!!!!"

JS blinked at me

I thought to myself...wat was I talking about

it has to be the CHOCOLATE!!!

it's so intoxicating and to begin with, I'm not a chocolate person

we got ourselves a table next to the open kitchen

yeah if u do come at non-peak hours, u can sit anywhere u like

also the service is much better :))))

next to where I was seated was this machine that roll out royal icing sugar in lightning speed

u just wham the whole chunk of icing sugar into it, and the machine will roll it left and right

forward and backward

each time coming out thinner flatter and bigger

there's an airwell at this kitchen/ workplace

which gave natural lights

very very nice and cozy ambience

wished our kitchen is like this :)))))

Vienna is also famous with open sandwiches

the sandwich bar is looking so pretty tpp

just drooling looking at them

A bowl of pipping hot Goulash

Demel serves simple cafe food which reflects the true Viennese cuisine

it was so good, must be the beef broth or the paprika

JS had his favourite 2-foot long like a necklace pork sausage

served with a special pickled fennel like sauerkraut and mustard

it was really good with snappy natural sausage casing

I alwiz "nose" my food

coz our sensory is all depends on our dearie nose

I picked up some minty scent....

which surprisingly balanced up the rich broth

served with crispy malty bread

I wonder if they make their own bread too

they were painting the chocolate lollies with eyes, nose and mouth

once done, we saw that the chocolate lollies were rabbits!!!!!

aaaaawwwwwww~~~~~~~~

That's a WHITE Kitchenaid there :)))))))))

u know wat she's making???

a couple making out

hahahahahahahahaha

soon, our slices of heaven came :))))))

creamie vanilla custard sandwiched in between multiple layers of pastry

oh yummm~~~~~~

and a slice of chocolate tart

that was smooth and creamie~~~~~

:)))))))))))

 happy tummies happy us :)))))))
