Into the Doorway of Food, where it's all about Eating...



Let's start the journey into my world of food...

Different tastebuds with different tongues; you're the eater and you're the judge...
What I share here is simply the passion towards food and drinks.

Introduce Myself to Ungarische Langosch

I've nearly forgotten to write about this traditional Ungarische snack that I've tasted during the Mittel Alter Markt or the Middle Aged Market festival in Regensburg; people call it as Langosch.

Langosch is made from the flour whereby the dough that has been pressed into thin sheet is then fried before being served in your choices of favourite toppings. Langosch can be served either as sweet dessert such as with sugar, jam or as salty meal with cheese or sour cream. Melinda has shown me the way to eat Langosch in original Hungarian style that consists of sour cream, cheese and paprika sauce. For the past 29years, I've hated paprika so much that I'll never try any single sip of paprika but... I like the Langosch with the paprika sauce. Ungarische Langosch is kind of a heavy food that is quite oily and thus it's good to have the paprika sauce to neutralize the fatness in this special bread.
My understanding Boyfriend has been laughing about me that has started to like paprika because of Langosch. May this acceptance only be limited to Germany? Deutschland has better soil to plant a tasty paprika that can suit my taste ;)

My First Time to Dark Bier, at Weltenburg Kloster

Weltenburg Kloster is a monastery that is located by the Danube, near to Kellheim town. Travelling with the ferry across the Danube and passing the most famous 'Danube Narrows' to reach the abbey, I've indeed enjoyed a beautiful scenery along the river bank.

Wondering what you can do at Kloster Weltenburg? Well, eating and drinking here. Don't miss out to try the dark bier here, from the Weltenburg Brauerei. Dark Bier or as well known as Dunkel, is the clear black beer that is a little bitter and stronger in taste yet very smooth through the throat. Most people including myself like Dark Bier because it doesn't make me feeling full as how the Weissbier or wheat beer will cause. Additionally, I've ordered a Schweinhaxe to go with my beer. The size of the Pork Knuckle here is quite small and it's rather expensive. Oh ya, the restaurant is called Klosterschenke! It's alike fast-food concept here whereby the Sauerkraut has been prepared in advanced and my meal has indeed being served within 5minutes. It's cold and chewy, I really don't like the Schweinhaxe here.
Kloster Weltenburg is a tourist destination that you've to expect to spend some money here. Anyway, I guess I'm still grateful to enjoy the nice scenery of the Danube and the superb Dark Bier here.

It Looks Grand... Fürstliches Brauhaus

Brauhaus or Brewery House in English, is where the beer is brewed. I'm trying to search for a recommended Brauhaus in Regensburg and here I've randomly picked the Fürstliches Brauhaus that is located nearby Thurn & Taxis. It's in fact not too far from the Bahnhof, just exercising my feet for about 10minutes.

I've never imagined that the grand and beautiful building is the Fürstliches Brauhaus that I'm looking for. Stepping into the building, I'm amazed by the wide ground that people can sit down to relax for the pastime. Alternatively, you can choose to take a seat inside the big dining hall. As I'm not hungry, thus I've decided to try only their Marstall Dunkles or the Dark Bier. Dark beer is having a clear colour and it's a bit more bitter than Weissbier Dunkel. In fact, I like Dark Bier more and more each day because it's not making me feeling full like what I've by drinking the wheat beer (Weissbier).

I've indeed enjoyed a nice afternoon time by getting lazy with a mug of Dark Bier at the Brauhaus. This is what I call as enjoying my life to the fullest...

It's the Ancient Historical Kitchen; Historische Wurstküche

If you're at Regensburg, don't ever miss to try the Bratwurst or sausages at the Historiche Wurstküche that is located just beside the Steinerne Brücke (Stone Bridge). What can you expect here? The Bratwurst is charcoal grilled on the 500-year-old historical kitchen. You may ask then, what can be so special about an ancient kitchen...

I'm interested to experience myself on the specialty of the Bratwurst here. I just can't imagine the crowd that I'm seeing on Sunday afternoon; Of course no empty seats, customers are standing to have their meal and people are queueing up just to take-away the Bratwurst Sandwich. I've decided to have the 'Bratwurstkipferl zum Mitnehmen' that costs me Euro 2,20. Simply 2 sticks of Bratwurst and the Sauerkraut with some senf or mustard, the deliciousness is just unbelievable! Let's start with the bread first... It tastes very fresh whereby the outer skin is crispy yet the inner is very soft. But, I'm the most impressed by the Bratwurst and the senf. The secret recipe here is the mixing of good grade ham into the Bratwurst whereby it tastes succulent and tender. Additionally, the senf is as well specially made that it tastes a little 'spicy' at the end of the tongue?!! The refreshing taste of these combinations have not made myself feeling oily or heavy over the Bratwurst and instead I'll like to order for more...

Bratwurst is a common food in Germany but this is seriously a must recommended place for Bratwurst in Regensburg. You'll not regret to queue up for just a simple 'sausage sandwich', at least I don't... Frankly speaking, this is my first experience to stand by the river side to eat my Bratwurst ;)

Café Scholz, This is What I Call a Good Service

Can you read and tell me the name of this place? I'm at first knowing that I can get my food and drink here and thus, I've decided to drop by for my dinner. This is just my random pick, trying a new place anyway... Well, the name of the restaurant is Café Scholz and it's located at the D. Martin Luther Straße. The first sentences that the waitress tells me 'Sorry, I can't offer you an English Menu but just ask me and I can translate if you need any help'. This is what I call as a satisfaction, especially when I'm in a country where peolple are speaking a foreign language.

However, based on my simple understanding over some German grammars, I've ordered the Hähnchenbrustfilet Vom Grill. It's the grilled chicken breast meat that is served together with the fried potatoes with rosemary leaves and mixed vegetable in tomato-based sauce. I'm quite disappointed at first because the Chef has put in capsicum into the tomato sauce but luckily I don't taste the strong smell of capsicum that I've always hated at. I guess the sourness of the tomato has covered up the capsicum's taste? In fact, I think the sauce is more suitable and will be more delicious if to match with spaghetti. Anyhow, the chicken flesh is very tender and juicy. I love the most of the potaoes with the little crispy skin and also the nice aroma of the rosemary. To go with my food, I've definitely asked for a Weissbier and here I've my Franziskaner Dunkel.
I don't really have a very delicious meal at Café Scholz, maybe I've made the wrong choice?!! But, what I feel grateful is the attitude and good service from the waitress here. Maybe, this is just my sentiment while I'm alone in a new country... But, it's still great if to enjoy a good service, right?
