Learning German Sure Is Tough...

After a one month hiatus of going around town looking for good food (mainly cos me), the 3 amigos went to Bavarian Bierhaus @ The Curve for some porkish delights. Made a shoutout for more people to join us but sadly, the call was not heeded... haiz... Anyway, for those who don't know this hidden gem at the Curve, its tucked nicely inside one of those courtyards though looking for TGI Fridays and Big Apple (or wassit J.Co) doughnuts should lead you there.


One drawback is they don't take reservations for weekends after 7pm...

Since Yong Batman has been here before, he suggested trying out the Knuckle Combo which, according to the menu was 1 pork knuckle, ham, German sausages, potatoes and some pickled cabbage called sauekraut. And having had pork knuckle experience before at Oasis, we knew this was gonna be HUGE so we decided to order just that and 1 appetizer. Decided on some ham platter which has a German name to it... I swear, Germans really have the most complex names in the world to pronounce... wanna order oso susah.. sked pronounce wrong, lose face pula...


Yummy ham platter...

Well, the thing that caught my eye in the ham platter was the Parma ham. I always see chefs like J.Oliver, G.Ramsay and tasty Nigella use it in almost everyday dishes and they always say it adds loads of extra flavour to the dish. So that was all the conviction I needed. The platter came pretty fast though it was expected ... no cooking required what... A few slices of bread and an awesome Dijon mustard ( I think) and apple sauce combo accompanied the hams. And the Parma ham did not disappoint! Full of flavour and maybe a bit salty but I'm not complaining. Though there was the salami that tasted exactly like lap cheong! which batman (please don't change ur name k ^^\m/) didn't like :(.


Our combo platter... if only KFC can copy this...

After we cleaned the plate and 2 ,yes 2, helpings of sauce, our main dish came. At first look, it seemed that it might be a little bit small for 3 guys to share. Yours truly was given the task of carving the pork since the other 2 was either too busy stuffing face with food or too noob with a knife... See if you can guess who's who :P. Although the knuckle looked slightly smaller in comparison with the one @ Oasis, I do however find it tastier!! Seriously, nothing beats crackling skin, a layer of greasy fat and some lean meat all in one yo!


Porkalicious...

The sausages however were rather ordinary, nothing you can't get from your local pork deli. Probably they save the better ones for their speciality sausage dishes... hmmm.. tu la I want more people, can sample more food -.-'. Well, in the end it was just nice actually, no over eating that night. Job well done! Oh and all in all it was about 39 bucks per person which is a reasonable price lah IMHO... though the cholesterol count isn't!!


Germans say 'Prost'...

And what better way to wash down a hearty German meal than with a pint of German beer! I still can't pronounce it even if my life depended on it! But it was rather ... erm.. wheaty in a way, can really taste the full body of the beer. In other words, not as light as a Heineken la... Speaking of which, we were suppose to go Happy Hours @ Sanctuary but one by one pussy out... so haiz.. happy hour wasted =.='... I really need more friends...

Well as for next week, looks like we'll be going to SS2 for some frog's leg porridge. Any takers?
