Die größte Pizza in der Stadt, at Trattoria Marina

If you're searching for the biggest pizza in the Regensburg town, then don't miss out Trattoria Marina Restaurant, Cafe and Pizzeria that is located at the Stadtamhof. Their selling point is 'Die größte Pizza in der Stadt', it's not a joke because the Pizza here is 50cm in diameter. My boyfriend personally loves the Pizza so much that he'll never miss the opportunity to visit here whenever on his home trip back to Germany.

As usual, I've started my dinner with a Weissbier and I've decided to go for Thurn und Taxis Weissbier Dunkel. The wheat is very thick yet it tastes smooth at the end of the tongue.

Not to waste the 50cm Pizza, Melinda and I have decided to share a Pizza Quattro Stagioni that have been put with Tomato sauce, Mozzarella cheese, Champignons or what is known as Button Mushrooms, Ham, Mailänder Salami and Artischocken. I guess that the Chef has been using fresh tomatoes for the base sauce because it's more watery, very refreshing and not too sour either. Furthermore, both the Salami and Ham are fresh and with just a perfect saltiness for the Pizza. What I like the most is, the Pizza is not too cheesy whereby the Mozzarella is just a thin layer to coat the dough, neither too much nor too little. The happiest thing about a good Pizza is that you'll enjoy even the plain dough skin itself. Oh ya, the Pizza comes in 50cm round shape! Our Pizza has been requested for pre-cut in advanced ;)
I'm waiting to see how my Boyfriend will react when he sees all the pictures of the Pizza at Trattoria Marina. By the way, it's grateful that his sister likes the Pizza as much as I do...

A Random Pick, the Pizzeria Da Tino

Too many pizzeria that you can choose from; Melinda and I have decided to go for the Italian's Restaurant that we've found at the Haidplatz, Pizzeria Da Tino. Part of the driven force is I want to sit outside to enjoy the rare sunshine that I can have during this Summer time in Regensburg and also to enjoy a nice Weissbier. ErlBräu is being served here.

I'm not capable to finish the 33cm Pizza and to cater for our preferences, we've ordered a Pizza mit Salami und Artischocken. The Salami is slightly softer and not as tasty as my favourite brand of Hungarish Salami but in overall, it's still delicious to have the salty Pork Salami on my pizza. A new knowledge to me, Artischocken or what is known as Artichoke in English, is a type of plant that you can get it in the Southern Europe whereby the edible part is the bud of the plant. It's soft and a little bit sour because it's sold as pickled vegetable in the can. What I love the most about Italian Pizza is the thin and crispy dough.

I guess Attila is jealous that I'm having Italian Pizza here. Pizza at Da Tino is slightly cheesy for me, yet it's still quite a good combination of Salami with Artischocken.

In the Bavaria Forest, Where You'll Like for an Apple Most

Thanks to Susanne's Mom to show me Stüberl, a place inside the Bavaria Forest that is famous for the Wine, Most and Bier. But, more accurate to say, the selling point here is the Apple Most. According to Susanne, Most is the fermented alcohol that is made from apple but before it achieves the level of Wine.

Look at the the 0.25L kleine glass of Most, clear and it seems so innocent! But, guess what? The owner rejects to sell me the groß Apple Most of 0.5L. Truly to say, Most is an easy drink that is smooth at the end of tongue. However, the strong alcoholic impact will come afterwards. An advice, drink slowly and steadily! Additionally, Thanks again to Susanne's Mom that has ordered a Mediteraner Teller for fill our hunger. It's a salami, ham and cheese platter with the potato salad. I've enjoyed this afternoon snacks so much; in fact I'm the only person whom has finished all the salami by myself ;)

Straußwirtschaft means it's opened during certain period of time whenever you see the flowers are blooming and they're put in front of the house. Summer is just the most perfect time for Stüberl where people are sitting around to enjoy the sunshine and a glass of Wine, Most or Beer.

Italiano Restaurant? Cafe Del Camino at Deggendorf

On my 1st weekend in Regensburg, I'm grateful that Susanne has kindly brought me for a visit to her hometown. We're so hungry and she has decided to show me Cafe Del Camino that is located at Deggendorf, a small town that is nearby the Bavaria forest. Everything seems to be so simple; just sitting at the corner and enjoying the Summer sunshine.

I've decided to go for a cup of black coffee and the Serranoschinken Sandwich or it's the Chicken Ham Sandwich. Serrano ham is the raw meat that is served in thin slices. Together with some tomato slices, mustard and cheese; this is how the Serranoschinken Sandwich is served here. I've indeed enjoyed the smoothness of the meat when it goes into my stomach. The sandwich tastes good except that the mustard is a little bit too much or it's too salty for me. Well, I'm Asian...
I love the time at Cafe Del Camino, especially this day with Susanne is a nice sun-shining day for us.

A Nice Evening at Biergarten... Alte Linde

A recommendation of must-to-do in Regensburg is to visit the Biergarten for a Weissbier after a day at work. Biergarten is somehow an open-air restaurant whereby people are sitting down to eat and drink. The environment is being surrounded by trees and stones; enjoying your beer in a garden.

Together with Melinda, we've chosen Alte Linde Biergarten that is located just beside the Steinerne Brücke. The most attractive criteria for me is the nice view of Danube from this Biergarten. Moreover, the big stones that have built up this restaurant are just astonishing. Look at the floor, the small stones and the leaves...
They're serving Kneitinger Weissbier here. As usual, I'm going for my Weissbier Dunkel. Kneitinger is somehow quite dry and the it tastes a little bit too 'thin' for me. But, not too bad that I've a delicious meal of Bratwurst mit Sauerkraut, Senf und Semmel. The Bratwurst or the Pork Sausage is compact and they're grilled to create the crispiness on the outer skin. It's just so lovely that they serve Händlmaier Senf or my favourite sweet mustard here. I like as well the tasty Sauerkraut that is dry and not 'muddy'. Oh ya, Semmel means small and round bread roll! Like it or not to have it with Bratwurst, it's up to you.
If you're in Germany, please drop by the Biergarten here. It's a great place to relax and to have a nice Weissbier, with a cheaper price that you can't get in Malaysia.
