Paulaner Appreciation Dinner @ BoatHouse, TTDI
Beerbeer was invited to Paulaner Appreciation Dinner at BoatHouse @ TTDI few weeks back. How can I reject beer and food? As most of you know that I always drunk and always hungry too… The above picture is the dishes that presented to us.
Obatzda (Bavarian Cheese Delicacy with Bread)
This dish is cheesy and nice. Pairing with beer can enhance the cheese flavour. Bread can be a bit filling, cracker will be a good alternative to it. But since it’s bavarian style, let’s stick with the tradition.
Griessnockerlsuppe mit Leberknodel
(Semolina Dumpling Soup with Liver Dumpling)
Light beefy soup with dumpling that look like meat balls. If you not a fan of liver you may not like the dish, but if you are a fan like me then the pairing works quite well. I actually quite enjoy it with Hefeweissbier.
Rinderrouladen mit Kartoffelknodel
(Beef Roulade with Mashed Potato)
After that we have this beef dish again. It may look like a normally meat ball with stuffing but the flavour of this is pack with beefy taste. The mashed is a good compliment to the tick flavours. It could be a bit filling eating this alone, is nicer to share this dish.
Some theatrical act while making the dessert sauce.
Kaiserschmarrn with Cherry Sauce
This is for sure a sweet tooth delight. A pancake with cherry sauce and strawberry, how can this go wrong. The sour and sweet of the strawberry does cut out some of the sweetness of the cherry sauce. Nice texture and good end to the meal.
Overall, I enjoy the meal especially a meal that I can paired with beer. The Oktoberfest Bier from Paulaner is a nice lager that works quite well with food. Certain dish may prefer to have it with hefeweissbier or Dunkel weiss. Having a beer to a dish is a bit too big portion, so if can share the beer and open up your palate will be good. Have fun with it and beside the usual German treats, maybe you can opt for the other dishes that you may find during this Oktoberfest. Cheers!
