Berlin

Posted on June 30, 2016 by nelsonutella

2nd leg of my solo trip – Berlin! The first leg was in Vienna. And I’m so darn thankful I know a bit of German to navigate through the city!

Satisfying my tummy one dish at a time.

Instagram

Flamed Grilled Steak [$13.90]. Flamed grilled steak, arugula, lettuce, roasted broccoli, roasted sweet potato, hummus, tzatziki (so much love for this), parsley, Greek vinaigrette, sunflower seeds. Order a grain bowl so that it fills you up! Steak was medium-rare (the chef and I agreed that medium-rare was the limit steaks could NEVER go beyond); it was perfectly cooked. The bowl had individual flavors that were distinct but melded together in perfect harmony. It is also affordable, convenient, and at a good venue for those working around that area.

Black Spicy Tori King Ramen Special, ALL toppings ($16.90). What can I say..I’ve had my doubts about ramen in chicken broth but this restaurant proved me wrong. So much flavor and ingredients (you get a good sized chicken drumstick too) packed into a bowl of 🐓 goodness. It’s a generous bowl so skip a meal before having this. Every diner is given a choice to customize their meal, so I chose to have a normal tasting broth, less oil, and of course, hard noodles (might do extra hard on my next visit). Eggs and sprouts are complimentary and those are already on the table.

Jalapeño beef ragu grilled waffle sandwich ($18). Buttermilk waffles, jalapeño beef ragu, bacon, sunny side up egg, mozzarella, tortilla chips, fruit salad, greens. You’ve got a good combination of spicy beef ragu (could have a little more acidity) with bacon AND mozzarella cheese in it (how can you not love it?!), buttermilk waffles that are slightly softer than your usual waffles, and a perfectly cooked sunny side up egg.

Slightly salty, but very fragrant: that’s what Alexandra Village’s Ma La Xiang Guo gives you whenever you order a bowl of it. Surprisingly, it is one of the better bowls of MLXG I’ve tried as the ingredients are well-coated with the spic sauce. The saltiness can be countered with a bowl of white rice, and a cup of avocado smoothie. However, MLXG orders are definitely customizable - less salty/oily/numbing etc., so no worries! For spicy food lovers, go for mild spice. For spicy food addicts, go for normal spice. For those with capsaicin in their blood, go for the spiciest.

I had two bowls of beef noodles: one to start my trip, and one to end this wonderful trip. The broth is light but flavourful, yet it gives you something different when you add a dollop of chilli oil in it. Beef slices were thick and tender, and noodles were perfectly cooked. It is a late entry now that we are a few days into 2020, but still, a blessed new year to all! God has been good, and will always be!

Chashu Tonkotsu Ramen ($20.90). The special version includes 5 slices of chashu, wood ear fungus, hanjuku egg, and 1 piece of tokudai nori. I’ve been to London’s branch a few times and I have a rough idea of how it tastes. Here, the noodles no doubt are perfect (I’ve gone for hard, and extra hard for my second serving). The soup is a little too rich for me, but it is extremely flavourful. Definitely worth a try! Special shoutout to those who’ve studied in the UK: I’m sure you know what this is!

Cafe Latte from @arabica.sg. Nothing but praise for this amazing cup of coffee ☕️.

Kurobuta Tonkatsu Set ($33). This is by far the most tender piece of tonkatsu I’ve ever had. Panko breadcrumbs gave it a really nice crunch outside and the pork chop inside is juicy. Believe me when I say that you don’t need much effort to cut through the meat. It is slightly pricey because I chose the best grade of pork they have in the restaurant. Nevertheless, good stuff.

Waffle, 2 scoops of ice cream ($16.00). Discovered the dark, again, when I tried their waffles along with a scoop of 80% dark choc and another scoop of salty peanut butter ice cream. I have to praise the waffle for being crispy outside and really fluffy inside. It is quite light, and not very dense. The dark chocolate ice cream was still as good, but just a little sweet for me, and the salty peanut butter ice cream could be a new favourite as I liked the mix of sweet and salty. There are a number of toppings you can choose from, and we had the caramelized almonds. Any ice cream day is a happy day.
