german feast

Thewife took me to for a Bavarian brunch buffet on yesterday. Dropped theson of at thebabysitters and off we went. we really needed the "alone" time away from it all and i'm glad we did it.

It was actually a surprise lunch for me as she only told me the location at the very last minute. it was in one of the hotels up north so we took a leasirely sunday drive and reached there at around noon. the restaurant as fully booked and our booking was the last one to be confirmed.. lucky us..
the food was excellent and we ate till we close to puking...
well in actual fact we didnt really eat that much.
there was just way too much good food to eat and too little stomach space... what a waste...
there was even a space dedicated just for desserts.
desserts which were to die for.

things i remember eating.. well most of them ...
-german sausage soup, heavy on the lentil
(good, but reminded me a bit of greeen bean soup)

-german sausages and saur kraut, bread dumpling, and other german food as well
(sausages were nice and tender with the right amount of "crunch" from the skin, the saur kraut was allright i guess... ate lamb, fish and beef as well but could remember the names)

-cheeses, breads, salads
(didnt have space to eat these...)

-beef mignon, roast chicken,
(didnt have space to eat these...)

-asian, sushi, naan, noodles, satay
(skipped noodles but ate every thing else, for sushi i didnt go for the salmon but instead opted for the baby octopus.. a bit weird tasting)

-puddings, strudels, sacher, mousse, ice cream, peach crumble, apple tart,
(only managed the choc mousse, slice-o-sacher and a scoop of ice cream shared with thewife. the wife was pracitcally overdosed from sugar as she took some choc pudding and it was sweet as hell)

-chocolate fountain
(dipped a honey dew and a marshmallow... the wife took kiwi and mmallow as well... very nice)

-fruit juice, coffee and beer
(drank the orange juice and later had coffee to kill the sugar high from teh desserts. had to skip the beer or else i would have had to skip dessert or i would have puked from overeating)

the live band was playing german folks song i guess... very heavy on the trumpets.. the music actually helped improve the mood during the brunch.
thewife said that she was reminded of gretchen from malcolm in the middle.

thewife said that i'm biased when it comes to food. why?
because the same food could be a dish from an asian country but i would never eat it.
for instance, the saur kraut taste like some chinese veggie dish but she said i would not even look at it but here i was stuffing my face with saur kraut.
well maybe i am biased.... too baaaad.... :-)

after paying, we walked the beach (with lollypops stuck in our mouth) for another 15min before we drove back home, which was another 45min drive. tired.....

we'll be going back next month i guess.. :-)
