Here are some of the culinary creations which we have tasted.
From the range of Hearty meal, Crispy German Pork Knuckle RM48++
with side dish of Roesti and Sauerkraut
According to Wayne, the knuckle will be pickled for 2 or 3 days and this consequently creating minimal amount of fats in the pork. It is cooked with beef stock and red wine sauce. The tenderness of the texture of the meat is nice when it is eaten together with the Sauerkraut (Shredded Cabbage in white wine vinegar) which consists of mild acidity. Apart from this, the Roesti which was served together with this meal tasted quite nice to our palates. The Roesti is actually a Swiss German part signature which is made from shredded Potato strips pan-fried in clarified butter.
Giant Wienerschnitzel RM34++
with side dish of lightly pan-fried Spaetzli (home-made egg noodles) and Buttered Market Vegetables
Poached Salmon Fillet RM38++

As Germany borders countries are France, Switzerland and Belgium, some of its influences are seen in the menu too, such as Pissaladière the popular pizza from Southern France. It is a thin crust dough topped with sour cream, roasted onion, anchovies and olives, quickly baked in oven.

The sausages were meaty, juicy, and very flavorful. As for the Garlic Mashed potato, it was quite rich and creamy with a fluffy texture.

For desserts, we are served with 2 types of desserts, Apple Strudel and Chocolate Mousse. The homemade fillings of the Apple Strudder perfectly suit our taste buds for it is not too sweet and a bit sourly. It is served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Whereas, Chocolate Mousse is rich with the chocolate flavor that melts in the mouth.
