Roast Pork Knuckle:
First of all it was already cold as it arrived at the table. The meat was in comparison to other German restaurants in HK not too salty what is still fine. But it was dry and the skin was rather charred than crispy. The Sauerkraut (pickled cabbage) and mashed potatoes were acceptable but nothing special.
Sauerbraten (Marinated Beef):
The Sauerbraten was cold as the pork knuckle and to our disappointment even more dry. Unfortunately you couldn’t get really rid of the dry something in your mouth as the so called “gravy” wasn’t good either. It was more like a watery soup and a rich taste was totally missing. The potatoes were tasteless and soaked with water. Unappetizing was also the red cabbage which might just came out of a can direct on the plate and wasn’t cooked without any other ingredients to enhance the flavor at least a little bit.
Drinks:
They got few good German beers there which are just a bit too pricey after the happy hour.
Service & Environment:
The waiters were very kind and courteously and the environment was quite cozy.
All in all:
I would say that I might come back for a happy hour beer. So far I can’t really tell if the chef just had a bad day but I probably wouldn’t order a main dish there anymore as I would expect much more for around HK$ 430.
