Hope you gonna like it and also experience the food that I gonna discuss right after this!

Sooo... the dishes that I would like to share is:

1. Raclette

For this dishes, I tried this dishes the very first time when it is in Christmas market in December. In Christmas Market you will find a lot of Raclette store. Unfortunately, I was not take picture of my dishes that time, but this picture is kind of the same as I have and basically you will got like this. 

onion pickles

So at your plate, you can choose it between want to have it with boiled potato or bread as the side dishes and it will also come with cornichicons and onion pickles. 

cornichicons 

 It looks so simple, isn`t it? Well, this simple kind of dishes taste unique for me because I can feel the sour and the rich of the cheese at the same time. Anyway, if you never hear about the cornchicons, it taste like pickles or else you can say it as "acar" in Indonesia. This dishes worth around CHF 9 to 10 most of the time when you find it in a festival or events. Meanwhile, if you to go to eat in the restaurant it will cost around CHF 20 to 25.

2. Swiss Fondue

Traditional cheese fondue

For this second one, I guess people know already this is the famous dishes from Switzerland that as a tourists recommended to try this! So basically the idea is to eat the bread with the cheese as all we know that Cheese it typical Swiss dishes, right?

Here, the Swiss fondue is not only cheese inside because if its only contain with cheese will be burned, therefore inside this fondue there is the combination between some wine, garlic and cheese mixed in this pot. The way they serve is always put one pot like in this picture and most of the time with the "red pot" as typical Swiss with the fire under it to make the cheese always melting and keep it warm. 

The interesting thing about this traditional fondue is that we just eat this with bread only. It is so simple, isn`t it? Just bread and this fondue and the taste was so interesting and nice and here I also provide the video how interesting to eat the fondue!

This video is taken by me when I was experienced by myself in one of the tourist destination to try Swiss Fondue. This fondue worth around CHF 26 

Also, the interesting fact that I found is that now they have a lot of different side dishes as their companion with this fondue. As example, a beef fondue that they provide the raw beef and to make the guest experience o grill it by them selves and provide the cheese as well but of course the price will be different. It`s worth around CHF 45 that time.

3. Chocolate
Despite of cheese, Switzerland also famous with their own chocolate. You will find a lot of different kinds of chocolate here if you go to the grocery store like in Coop, Migros, Denner, and others.
Such as lindt, ovalmaltine and even the grocery store itself brand like Coop chocolate, Migros Chocolate and Denner chocolate as well.
