点评:Albeit a small sample size, I can honestly say this the best food tour I have had. Virginialicious was my 5th food tour I’ve experienced counting 3 others around the U.S. and 1 in Vienna, Austria. Also, I will admit that the recent tour was aided by the fact that the group of 11 was a diverse and open-minded group looking to have fun and so my group of 4 (3 college buddies and 1 having brought his wife) fit right in.
But regardless of the group, the food/restaurant selection and guide (Sujin) would’ve made it an awesome experience no matter what. The Virginialicious tour featured stops at 5 different locations all featuring different treats or foods including true entrees/meals that were awesome and filling. On prior tours I had left still hungry as the stops just featured appetizers and tastings. But 3 of the Virginialicious stops offered entrees that covered a broad offering of different dishes. All the meanwhile, Sujin offered interesting tidbits and led very fun games to keep spirits up and everyone engaged. Sujin also kept us on track by apprising each stop of our arrival in advance such that they were prepared for our arrival and allowed us to be seated instantly and for hot food and cold drinks to arrive within minutes after arrival. It was such a well orchestrated and fun experience that featured GREAT food and drink. I was also impressed by the fact that they are able to tailor the meals for EVERYONE, as our group included 2 with allergies and 2 that didn’t like spicy foods but ample enjoyable options were afforded for all.
I literally cannot wait to utilize what I learned and enjoyed by finding new Korean food options for myself in NY and to visiting the Napoleon Bakery and Choong Hwa Won next time I’m back in VA!!!
A truly awesome experience that I fully recommend!!!
翻译:虽然样本量不大,但我可以毫不夸张地说,这是我参加过的最棒的美食之旅。Virginialicious 是我参加过的第五次美食之旅,之前在美国各地参加过三次,在奥地利维也纳参加过一次。不得不承认,这次旅行之所以如此成功,是因为同行的11位成员来自不同的背景,思想开放,大家都很享受这次旅行,所以我们一行四人(三位大学好友,其中一位带了妻子)也很快融入其中。
但即便不考虑同行人员,美食/餐厅的选择以及导游(Sujin)的讲解也足以让这次旅行成为一次绝佳的体验。Virginialicious 的行程包括五个不同的地点,每个地点都提供不同的美食,包括真正美味又饱腹的主菜。之前的几次旅行,我每次都吃得意忘形,因为每个地点都只提供开胃菜和试吃。但 Virginialicious 的其中三个地点都提供了种类丰富的正餐。与此同时,Sujin 不时分享一些有趣的小知识,并组织各种好玩的游戏,让大家兴致高昂,全程参与其中。Sujin 还提前告知我们每个站点的到达时间,确保他们做好充分准备,让我们一到就能立刻入座,热食和冷饮也很快就送上。这是一次精心策划、充满乐趣的体验,食物和饮品都非常棒。更让我印象深刻的是,他们能够根据每个人的需求定制餐食。我们一行人中有两位过敏,两位不爱吃辣,但他们仍然提供了丰富的选择,让每个人都能找到自己喜欢的菜肴。
我迫不及待地想把这次体验中学到的知识运用到纽约的韩国料理中,下次回弗吉尼亚州的时候一定要去 Napoleon Bakery 和 Choong Hwa Won 尝尝鲜!
这是一次非常棒的体验,我强烈推荐!
