A German meal

On Saturday we went to Ingolf Kneipe, a German restaurant/pub all the way over in Tanjung Bungah, for dinner.

We ordered a butcher's platter (RM66.90), supposed to be for 2-3 people. It came with a bowl of sauce and mustard, and chilli/tomato sauce packets.


Zoom in on the platter:


The piece on top is breaded chicken, and beside it seems to be pork knuckle (or simply roast pork). Below them are ham and bacon, and the thick squarish piece (actually it's rectangular) is minced pork with seasoning and herbs (meatloaf, maybe?) You can see four sausages in the photo, but below all the meat are two other kinds of sausages. Too many sausages, we felt... we would have preferred more grilled meat.

Beneath the sausages was some sauerkraut. None of us liked it... but the taste seems "correct", from what I had tried in France. We just can't appreciate sour cabbage, I guess.

We also ordered beef rolls (RM32.90), which also came with sauerkraut, but another kind (maybe made with purple cabbage?). This was less sour than the normal kind above, and the others even said it was tasty at first, but we didn't finish it all either. Not something we can eat a lot of.


Inside the beef rolls:


We can't really taste what was inside, because the taste was covered by the beef. But the whole thing was pretty good, together with the sauce, and the mashed potatoes were good too (though I can't eat a lot of that).

And the last dish was currywurst (RM28.90). It was advertised in the menu as exactly what we can find in the German capital (Berlin), and having tasted the actual thing (although it was in Munich), I have to say it lived up to expectations. :)


The three dishes we ordered were all the "recommended" items on the menu. The portions were huge, so this was a lot for four people!

But somehow we found room for dessert. :P

One is pannacotta (RM10.90). I think this is my first time trying it, even though I've heard of it many many times before.


Verdict? Nice, creamy but not too much so... just nice :)

Then there was a German dessert called rote gruetze (RM11.90). It is a dessert of red berries and sago (the sago is coloured red, and I think flavoured with berry syrup as well) with whipped cream (at least I think it's whipped cream; it could be some other cream as well :P )


You can find more information about this dessert here on Wikipedia. There are also lots of recipes online, but I doubt I'll be making this myself; where would I get the berries? (plus it is seriously unhealthy with all the cream...)

We were lucky enough to go there during a promotion for Ingolf's 19th anniversary, so we received a 20% discount if we paid by cash.
