What's so good about GERMAN sausages?? ... They're uncut!

"Paulaner Muchen"
The place and the food were so alienating for me. At the first floor of the lobby is their pub where the hippies (not necessarily yippies) and the white-collar people are hanging out, where they fling around and toss each other with those inviting and incomprehensible looks and winks..Somebody's watching too much Hollywood movies! The second floor is where all the formality takes place. It boasts more of a fine-dining atmosphere.

I know that the title is so titillating and scintillating that if my mom read this article, she would have called me and asked me immediately, "who's teaching you these stuffs in singapore?" :P ..

I was invited by a friend for a superb dinner--no it's not a scintillating and titillating dinner date, keep all those malicious minds where they really belong to...in the loo!

At first, I thought that Germans are best known for their sausages, I mean not their sausages (will those horrific minds of yours sh*t up?), but the edible and chewable German sausages. I remember, I was in high school and I don't know how to pronounce the name of the booth that sells german sausages, it's something like wursten xxx. Then my friend told me, "Oh Germans are better known with their beers!" And it only showed how much of a beer drinker I am. I would have exclaimed to the waiter, "Do you have milk here please? The non-fat rich in calcium one...with no preservatives!"


Anyway, so when my friend asked me what do I want, I told him that I really don't know what to order. I was so bemused by the ambience of the place that I couldn't keep my eyes and my head from turning 360. So he ordered the food for me. I had mashed potato, different types of sausage (I really have a poor memory of remembering all of them), and the chef's fave..the Paulaner beer.

Let's start with the mashed potato. Honestly speaking, this is the best mashed potato I've had so far in my entire life, no joke! The texture, the taste and the softness is so GOOD that I could have that as a meal for my entire week. It tastes a bit milky. It was really mouth-watering.

This is a long and overdue review. I'm really sorry. But the funny thing about it is that I could still recall the feeling that these german sausages let me experienced.

The next are the sausages. Oh men, they're really of different sizes, different colors, and different tastes! You have red, roasted brown, white, foot-long, one-bite, three-bite-sized hotdogs. Although I don't like the pickled thingy where the sausages are laid on. It was too sour for me with not even a drop of sweetness. The sausage that I liked most is the roasted brown one. The taste is very very very ... I don't know the words to describe it. Just look at the photos and start drooling.

I do really want to make a good review on the beer, but I just don't know how to appreciate yet the tastes of beer. I don't know which one is good and which one is not, although I can say which one is bitter and which one is sweeter. But as to which is better, I'll leave the beer drinkers with big bulging tummies for that.

Overall, it was superb! Eventhough there were those nosy and piercing eyes of the people on the other side of the table. Maybe they're just amazed of my black head cap while we were eating...oh well. I'm starving again. :)
