A hearty meal with the right company in the right place is always memorable and can draw customers back.
The Bavarian Bierhaus is one such place.
The good food that come in generous portions make dining here enjoyable.
The German outlet now has regulars coming in to enjoy the German beer and meaty meals.
Due to the good response, it has opened a branch at the Wisma UOA II in Kuala Lumpur.
Generous portion: The Mixed Sausage Platter
Although adopting the same concept of excellent food and drinks, this outlet exudes a slightly different ambience.
Still cosy with German wall hangings, the new place has a bit more colour with the choice of sofas and brighter lights. Like the other outlet, it also opens out to the outdoors.
Restaurant manager Catherine Soo said the outlet served the same food as the one at The Curve in Petaling Jaya but it also has some new offerings on its menu.
“Here we have slightly different customers from the other outlet as there are more offices and walk-in customers from the nearby Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre,” she said.
The all-time favourites are still topping the charts and pork knuckles is one example.
There are a few types to choose from and new at this outlet are the Crispy Knuckle with Pineapple Gravy and the Crispy Knuckle with Thyme Infusion.
While the former comes with potatoes served with German mustard, the latter comes with roasted Parisienne Potatoes, German mustard and Red Wine cherry sauce.
Soo said part of the knuckle preparation was about boiling them for about three hours before they were prepared upon order.
A must-try: The fresh and aromatic pretzels.
The boiling tenderises the meat to a point where the meat easily separates from the bones while eating.
“The best part about the knuckle dish is the crispiness. Listen to the fresh crisp when you run your knife through it,” she said as she cut a portion of meat from the knuckle.
Each knuckle can weigh between 900g and 1.2kg and an average of 25 pieces are prepared in a day. However, over the weekend it is increased to 50 pieces.
Pork lovers’ must-try at the outlet is also the Pork Ribs, which is another hearty meal like the knuckles.
Customers can opt to order half the portion. This dish, garnished with slices of juicy pineapples, gets better with each bite.
Those who like sausages can try the Mixed Sausage Platter or the Foot Long Sausage.
The Pork Escalope is another option at this outlet. The meat is charred with Hickory Pepper and served with Mashed Potato, Sauteed Zucchini and Honey Mustard Dressing.
The oulet also serves excellent Pretzels.
The pretzels are fresh and aromatic.
The pretzels can also be eaten with Odatza, a savoury dip made from soft cheese, garlic, cream and pepper.
The outlet also has an interesting snack menu to go with its crisp and smooth Paulaner beers.
Some of these are Chilled Melon with Honey Cured Ham, Sauteed Tiger Shrimp with bacon, garlic, chilli and parsley and Boursin cheese crackers, pine nuts and tapanade.
It also has an interesting offer of set lunches at RM19++. It comes with a main course, soup of the day, iced-lemon tea or a soft drink.
