The German Affair @ Weissbrau Penang

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!

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!

Once upon a Germany...

Thanks to the different regional princedoms, earldoms, monarchies and states Germany did not unite until the last centuries. Thus Germany has not one but many major cities. And each city has its own unique character, formed by its history and the surrounding region. Each is a whole new world unto itself in which you will experience not only different architectural styles and art treasures but also a very distinctive lifestyle. Local traditions and mentalities are clearly reflected everywhere - in the arts, the nightlife, the shops, the pubs and restaurants and the way people work and live.

 Germany's cities have endless pleasant surprises in store for those who enjoy good food and drink. In addition to top-quality international cooking each region has its own local specialities, ranging from hearty country fare at simple inns to modern light cuisine at star-rated restaurants. Accompanied by our world-famous beers and wines, all this plenty is guaranteed to make your tour of Germany's cities an unforgettable culinary experience.
