Long awaited dinner! Heimat is German for “homeland”. It is apparent from the name that chef Peter seeks to introduce to us his interpretation of traditional German dishes.

Since PickyEater was detoxing, Chef Peter highly recommended their grape juice, white one made with Reisling, red one made with dornfelder (a German varietal).
First to arrive: sour dough bread and pretzels- one with cheese and another with sesame. To be dipped in cheese curd and chives. Legend has it that pretzels were invented by a monk and shaped to resemble the crossed arms of praying children.

First course: Brittany Lobster served with Frankfurter Grüne Sauce. This traditional green sauce is usually made with sour cream, and 7 particular kinds of herbs (including parsley and chives). Normally not a fan of lobster, but this lobster, fried in butter was so tender and fragrant.

Next: seabass with cabbage. Not normally a fan of seabass, but this one had perfect crispy skin, meat was firm but tender.

Next: sirloin with 3 types of onion: caramelised, dehydrated and puréed. Server recommended it to be served medium rare but the most adventurous I could do was medium. Texture was still excellent. Chef Peter came over to explain that he personally went to California, USA to source the beef.

A plate of handmade pasta accompanied the beef. No sauce, just lightly seasoned with salt and pepper, coated with egg and pan fried.

In summary: Chef Peter did an excellent job in assuring us that German cuisine could be just as refined as its Western European counterparts (and not just heavy pork knuckles). Enjoyable meal with top quality ingredients and balance of flavors. Recommended.
