Sofra kod Momira, Skopje, Macedonia









After a long tiring day a well deserved dinner. It started of with rakija and continued with very good Macedonian wines - Muscat from SKOVIN and BOVIN. http://www.skovin.com.mk/e_index.html
http://www.bovin.com.mk/ If you are interested in Macedonian wine, you ought to try these, though they also provide you with a healthy dose of headache if you overdo it :) I was enjoying fine Macedonian wine and food with guys from INet http://www.inet.com.mk/ INet is somewhat of a synonym for IBM, Red Hat, SAP and some other brands in Macedonia and increasingly also in Kosovo. Saso (Sašo) Tasevski, Slobodan Stojcevski (Stojčevski) and their boss Toni Petreski proved themselves to be a very good company to be with. Later on also Predrag Radojicic (Radojičić) from Simt joined us. http://www.simt.com.mk/ --> I deliberately posted the link to their site, because it is, plainly said, awful and I hope they will "repaint" it soon.
At the beginning we were served a very good fish soup from a small copper kettle:

Sofra actually means a low table full of good food. A small version of sofra was served with a selection of Macedonian salads on our table. There was also some quite hot paprika (piperka). The main course was really delicious sweet water fish from Lake Ohrid, Macedonia's prime resort. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Ohrid We found out that there is a hotel at Lake Dojran in Macedonia owned by Slovenian company Hit (http://www.hit.si) where nobody but Greeks are allowed. I called them and verified that myself. And as I was trying to call Hit Hotel at Lake Dojran, I had a very bad customer care experience with Macedonian Telekom http://www.mt.com.mk/ and their Mobile arm MobiMak http://www.mobimak.com.mk/English/default.asp A terrible customer service. To end this post in a more positive note - there is a very nice article on Macedonia on Yahoo: http://adventures.yahoo.com/Macedonia
