Dinner at Hofbräuhaus

Hofbräuhaus, Bavarian Restaurant in Munich

I myself haven't been there before, but many of my friends told me that it's the appropriate place to have the bavarian food with the bavarian athmosphere. The restaurant is located in Platzl, which is just less than 10 minutes walk from Marienplatz. Because of the strategical location, Hofbräuhaus is the most famous bavarian restaurant among the restaurants from all beer brewery in Munich. Inside the restaurant there is a bavarian traditional live band, which only plays bavarian music. There is also a souvernir shop and a smaller kiosk.

What did we order??

Yik Lun odered a portion of Schweinehaxn. It's served with 2 Kartoffelknödel and a portion of Krautsalat mit Speck.

And I, since I wanted something that I didn't know, I just picked something, which name was unknown for me. On the card it's written as Weisser und Schwarzer Pressack (White and Black Pressack). Once it's served, actually I know this thing already under the name Sulze (or at least it looks and tastes similar). It's a mix of pork meat, which is served within clear gelatine form (weisser=white). The black one is served in something similar, but additionally it uses the pork blood as ingredients.

Tips for non german speakers

Try to ask for menu cards in other language. They have some menu card in different language (I saw one in english and italian). This one I noticed after I tried very hard (but didn't really work) to help some american tourists to explain what those food are.
