German Food Delights
The humongous pork knuckle I had at this eatery in a small town south of Munich called Murnau. It was delicious but I couldn't barely finish half of it. That yellow blob at the side is called a knodel and is a mix of potato and dough. I liked it 'cos it tasted soft yet springy.
The famous Weissbier which was yummy too. I was trying beers everywhere I went. I had never drunk so much beer in my life!
German hotdogs in Hamburg! This was grilled over charcoal and was just so sinfully delightful!
But at the end of the day, I still like Cantonese food best. After the three weeks away from home eating nothing but bread and potato (I don't even potato to start with!), I was seriously missing rice and noodles. Typical German food is much too heavy for me. And actually I was told that Germans themselves actually favour Italian cuisine more and Italian fare is very popular. Wise choice I think!
