When I travelled to Germany, I was taken to a restaurant in Black Forest for some authentic German cuisine. I didn't miss the chance of savouring their signature dish - German Pork Knuckle. If my memory serves me correctly, that was the very first time I gobbled down the whole pork knuckle all by myself. That marked the most memorable affair of mine with a foreign land. It has been several years now and I can still recall the uniqueness of the food which keeps lingering around my mind. It's so overpowering that I began to develop a strong craving for pork knuckle. Thanks to my cravings, I was once again taken to a German restaurant for another affair with the evil spirits - Fat and Calories!
Crispy German Pork Knuckle (fore leg only) @ RM48++
Sauerkraut (sour cabbage) is finely sliced green cabbage that has been fermented by lactic acid bacteria to give the cabbage a distinct sour flavour. |
Rösti is a traditional Swiss dish of fried grated potatoes. It looks a little like a hash brown and is usually served as a side dish.
Weissbrau's pork knuckle is marinated for four days before it is deep fried till golden brown
Weissbrau's pork knuckle has a crispy crackling on the outside while the meat remains moist, tender and succulent.
A touch of pink is both safe and desirable, especially for the juicy part of meat.
All's well that ends well
Nothing comes more perfect than a cup of espresso after a hearty and filling meal.
Cheers!

I havent tried the German pork knuckle before though i have heard it is famous for this...
ReplyDeleteOh Weissbrau, and that irresistible rosti! I still am craving for that 1st visit to the outlet in Pavilion, for that potato dish more than the pork on offer.

ReplyDeleteI always believe in eating first while my cholesterol level is still under control. Haha.

I am not a potato person so I left the rosti aside. Moreover, I found it a little too oily as compared to the Sauerkraut.
