Just realized that my last post was 2 years ago, phew! Thanks to my new friends who love food as much I do... we recently visited the <a href="http://www.misterthang.de/index.html" target="_blank">Mister Thang </a>Chinese restaurant in Aachen. The restaurant is situated on the Pontstr - a famous street for bars and restaurants.<br />
<br />
[Atmosphere] This small restaurant offers indoor and outdoor dining. Upon entering the restaurant, you will notice two busy chefs and smell the aromas of dishes being prepared in the open kitchen. The dining area is simple, includes several oriental sculptures, hanging lanterns, wooden tables, and with walls painted in red (i guess you can't except much as it is a casual restaurant anyway). <br />
<br />
[Service] During our visit, there was only one person taking orders and serving food. The service was average as the restaurant was a bit crowded. I wish the waitress is a bit friendly and accommodating though!<br />
<br />
We tried several dishes as below. There were served with rice.<br />

(1) I call this as "cold cucumber salads" - it consists of shredded cucumbers, carrots served with hot chili oil and red chili flakes. It is a little spicy (tolerable), but not crunchy (<span style="color: red;">2 stars</span>)</div>

(2) My favorite! I am not sure what this is called in Chinese, but it looks like the Sichuan boiled dish. It includes white fish fillets with vegetables in spicy soup! It is a little sweet<span class="st"> for my taste, and not as spicy as it looks</span> (<span style="color: red;">3.5 stars</span>)</div>

(3) Deep-fried duck served with beansprouts and sweet sour sauce. I always have a mixed feeling when it comes to duck-based dishes. Duck meat is high in fat and gamy. If you don't cook it properly, it will be a food disaster! I must admit that the cook has done a good job in preparing the dish - the meat was tender and the skin was crispy and not greasy. The dish would have been better without the overcooked bean sprouts! (<span style="color: red;">3 stars</span>)</div>

(5) "Ku Lu Yuk" - batter-fried pork, stir-fried together with a delicious sweet and sour sauce. If you haven't eaten pork in a while, you may think it has a similar taste to chicken! (<span style="color: red;">3 stars</span>)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
(7) Beef stew with vegetables and potatoes. I didn't try it; it was ordered by one of my friends.</div>
<br />
[Conclusions/Remarks]<br />
<ul>
<li> Above average food with low prices. There were six of us and each person only paid 10 euros for 7 different dishes! </li>
<li>They have two menus; one written in German and limited, and the other is in Chinese and extensive (exciting too)! </li>
<li>A table reservation is recommended, especially if you have a large group. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> </li>
<li>The restaurant also offers a la carte menu, but I would recommend a family-style dining! Bring<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>several friends and order various dishes! It is more fun to eat in this way, and you will save a couple of euros!</li>

It is an old growing city, with colourful pedestrian malls, beer halls and gardens!<br /><br /><hr /><br /><a href="http://www.hofbraeuhaus.de/en/index_en.html">Hofbräuhaus</a> : Well, I guess the name speaks for itself. It is one of Munich's oldest breweries. If you want to experience Bavarian food, oompah music, and one-liter mug of beer, this is the place to go! The hall is very huge, and almost crowded with locals and tourists. There are even several tables for regular guests. I had a "Mushroom pot" - mixed fresh mushrooms in herb cream sauce with two bread dumplings (EUR 7.90). The dumplings were rich. I found that the sauce lacked flavour. In short, excellent service and average food. Even if you don't eat here, it's worth a visit owing to its atmosphere!

I ordered a "Tagliatelle Amanda"(EUR 11.50) - pasta served with a light tomato cream sauce with oyster mushrooms, hazelnuts, red wine and fresh tarragon. It was scrumptious! This was the best vegetarian food I have had in a long time! A friend of mine had the Triangoli (noodle pockets, stuffed with porcini mushrooms and ricotta, sage butter and freshly grated Parmesan). It also tasted great! Great atmosphere; excellent food, but a bit pricey; the service was slow.

Besides these two, the town itself is a nice place to explore, with narrow streets lined with old buildings, small cafes and shops. After a week of fine-dining, I decided to go with something lighter. Thus, I visited a small market at Kaiser Maximilian Platz, which consists of several stalls, including a stall selling different types of Flammkuchen. I had a Flammkuchen topped with sour cream, mushrooms and onions (EUR 7.50). I wish there were more mushrooms and less onion slices. Other than that, it was crispy and good. If you are looking for a nice light meal, this is the place!

If the weather permits, you will enjoy a spectacular view of the lake. My stay was very short, so I only visited <a href="http://www.steg4.de/">Steg4</a>. This restaurant is located nearby the “Imperia” Harbor Statue. It offers Mediterranean cuisine and regional dishes.<br /><br />I ordered the Felchenfilets "Konstanzer Art" - Lake Constance whitefish fillets, served with <span style="">mushrooms, diced tomatoes, Nolly Prat sauce and boiled potatoes</span> (EUR 19.90). The food was acceptable, didn't wow me though. The fillets were tender; I would have loved them to be slightly crisp on the outside. Service was quick and professional, and portions were big as always!

It is about 30-40 minutes by train from Freiburg. This place is not large. It is a perfect <span class="st">starting point </span>for hiking through pine forests. A hike from Titisee to the nearby village <span class="st">called Hinterzarten</span> is quite easy (~5km) and pleasant.<br /><br /><hr /><br />We needed a coffee fix before the hiking trip, so we went to<a href="http://www.bergsee-titisee.de/index.html"> Restaurant Bergsee</a>. This restaurant overlooks the lake and offers different kinds of Black Forest menu. The service was very dissapointing. The terrace was half-full; we waited for 20 minutes for a waiter to visit our table, and after another 20 minutes, a second waiter came to take our order again. <span class="st">Probably worth a try once (</span>they make a fantastic cup of cappuccino...believe me, it was excellent), but only if you can tolerate such a slow and poor service (a 45-minute wait for a cup of coffee!)<br /><span class="st"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjn7g-zYwK2Q-hDaVGpewVRDD_9hv4BrfJXihWo49Q6ZjfrKkW3CxmG2wfF7yVTwN7MpkplIV2fI0RsZJwF10MS5Eqmf9pEEpmmG7gcsFgmE419uKixvdfIngy3A5Q2fcabgCgW4h9p3w/s1600/IMG_1967.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjn7g-zYwK2Q-hDaVGpewVRDD_9hv4BrfJXihWo49Q6ZjfrKkW3CxmG2wfF7yVTwN7MpkplIV2fI0RsZJwF10MS5Eqmf9pEEpmmG7gcsFgmE419uKixvdfIngy3A5Q2fcabgCgW4h9p3w/s320/IMG_1967.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5716542647555706258" border="0" /></a><br /><hr />We had our dinner at <a href="http://en.seehotel-wiesler.de/">Seehotel Wiesler</a>.

The city is very lively, trams and bikes are almost everywhere! It is a small university town which offers small stores, cafes, and great food. <span class="st">Bächle </span>(miniature streams) that run along almost every street are something particularly noticeable. Surrounded by nature, the city is filled with friendly people. This is one of my favorite cities in Germany. Some things I learned during my trip in southern regions of Germany, you probably already knew these :<br /><ul><li>Order a cappuccino <span style="font-weight: bold;">with milk</span>. They usually serve "dry cappuccinos"- without hot milk, and topped with foamed milk.</li><li>Black forest cake is often prepared <span style="font-weight: bold;">with alcohol </span>- Kirschwasser. </li><li>Food portions are large sized - suitable for sharing..or you may order a kinder meal!<br /></li></ul><div style="text-align: center;">Here are some cafes and restaurants which I found particularly interesting.</div><hr /><br /><a href="http://www.kolbenkaffee-freiburg.de/">Kolben-Kaffee-Akademie</a>, Kaiser-Joseph-Str. 233, Altstadt. This cafe is a small hidden jewel under the St. Martin Tower<span class="st"><em></em></span>. A must visit place, especially for cake lovers! Be prepared to stand and enjoy your coffee and pastries - there are several high tables, but no seats! The interior is snug and cozy, and old Hessian sacks are used to decorate the walls. I had a cappuccino and a slice of apple pie with hazelnuts. The coffee was fantastic, the pie tasted SO goooooood! It was not too sweet, the crust was a bit crispy - loved it! A perfect meeting spot for spontaneous <span class="st">conversation</span>, so don't miss it!

It was my first time to dine at <a href="http://www.maikotten.de/73.html">Cooky's Maikotten</a>,
a restaurant which is located at outside the city centre. This is the
place to go for an exclusive dinner with a great ambiance. I really
liked the atmosphere and decor - a large dining area with high ceilings,
wooden tables and wicker chairs, potted plants including cacti, large
glass windows decorated with cream curtains, overlooking the corn field.
Our table was decorated with candles and rose petals which added a nice
romantic touch - it was funny, though..we were three women who try to
immerse ourselves in a literally romantic environment, hehe..The
restaurant bring Mediterranian flavours combined with the Westphalian
cuisine. It also offers breakfast buffet on Sundays and a special menu
on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The
restaurant has a special menu for dogs - some of them are gluten-free!
In fact, you can make a reservation for your dog birthday party!!!</div>

I
had one of the main dishes - a large salmon steak with lime-ginger
sauce and served with homemade white pasta and vegetables. It was
supposed
to be the black pasta, but it was not available on that day. So I chose
the white pasta instead. The salmon was grilled well,
but it was a bit oily. The vegetables were ordinary, not as good as the
one I had at <a href="http://kitchenprinzessin.blogspot.com/2011/07/meine-culinarische-reise-durch-munster_13.html">Noites de Lisboa</a>.
For me, the pasta was probably the best part of the dish ;) I ordered
two glasses of pineapple juice. The first one tasted good, but the
second one was actually more watery! [Rating] Grilled Salmon with white
pasta -<span style="color: #33cc00; font-weight: bold;"> 3 3/4 stars ; </span>Pineapple juice (for the second one) -<span style="color: #33cc00; font-weight: bold;"> 3 stars </span></div>

To
sum up, this is the place to go for a great atmosphere - especially if
you want to have a decent food at a *romantic* spot! - I am not really
an expert in romantic dining, so this is solely based on my
intuition...However, I believe that a bike-dinner trip to Maikotten is a
good way to escape from the busy city ;) If you have the <a href="http://www.gutscheinbuch.de/buecher/1000127/Schlemmerreise/Muenster-und-Umgebung">Schlemmerreise mit Gutscheinbuch</a>, don't forget to use the Maikotten's coupon.<a href="http://www.gutscheinbuch.de/buecher/1000127/Schlemmerreise/Muenster-und-Umgebung"><br /></a><br />

We went to the <a href="http://www.pierhouse.de/">Pier House</a>, a Texan-Mexican restaurant located along the canal. The first thing one notice on entering the restaurant is the large space - a huge bar, spacious indoor and patio dining areas with stunning views of the canal. Further, the decor is well set with soft and mood lighting with candles on every table! The menu selection is almost overwhelming with choices ranging from salads, soups, ensaladas, empanaditas, quesadillas, fajitas, tacos, steak, texan specialties, several house specialties and many more. I ended up choosing the Pollo California - a grilled chicken breast served with grilled pineapple, salads, BBQ sauce, Mexican rice, sour cream and salsa roja (red sauce). The grilled fillet was ok, but it seemed as if something was missing. I found it a little bland. The rest were good, especially the Mexican rice.<span class="st"></span><span style="">

<br />The cocktails were little bit expensive. But, there was a late night rewards (from 10pm) featuring half price on selected cocktails (like margaritas) .. I had the "Biker", a non-alcoholic cocktail <span style="">- combination of pineapple, orange, passion fruit, lime, lemon</span> - liked it a lot!!<ul><li><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEOyawrLeL0Q0TYlOEmVE8gjV9LF1OAXnYdD6HyL4VFz6EZc76Z8tJaPEhm8Qjn8ddNGdye1Z5cdiUI12JtEFcOqYKQQ0Xkg8AY6NIs_d8dLMyY6HM-VUPhrGGSh2fpOue8SHVpM_RpQ/s1600/31stBirthday+092.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEOyawrLeL0Q0TYlOEmVE8gjV9LF1OAXnYdD6HyL4VFz6EZc76Z8tJaPEhm8Qjn8ddNGdye1Z5cdiUI12JtEFcOqYKQQ0Xkg8AY6NIs_d8dLMyY6HM-VUPhrGGSh2fpOue8SHVpM_RpQ/s320/31stBirthday+092.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5639632987867652530" border="0" /></a>[service] The restaurant was very crowded, even on the weekday evening.

Looking for the best cappuccino in town? <a href="http://www.diebohne-ms.de/">Die Bohne</a> is probably the cafe you are looking for.. It's a very small place and primarily in the business of selling <a href="http://www.diebohne-ms.de/Kaffeesorten.html">coffee beans</a>. However, it also offers a wide selection of coffee, light snack, homemade cakes and smoothies. It's a little tricky to find the cafe, the entrance to the restaurant is quite narrow. It's nearby the wineshop on LudgeriStr. Here is the google map <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Ludgeristr.+60+muenster&hl=en&t=h&z=16">link</a> .
<br />I have to admit that I am not a big fan of coffee of any kind, but based on my personal experience, Die Bohne is a great place for a cup of coffee(especially cappuccino). It reminds me of my 'cappuccino days' in Florence..The only two drawbacks are (a) the cafe is VERY small and probably not suitable for a large group (b) I like the presentation of the cakes more than the actual taste of the cakes. They were not too sweet (Das ist OK für mich), but they were just not moist enough to be considered as great as the coffee! To sum up, if you want to have your 'cappuccino day', this place is an option to visit. Perhaps, you may want to take home some grams of coffee.. [Rating] Coffee -<span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0); font-weight: bold;"> 4 1/2 stars ; </span>Cake - <span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0); font-weight: bold;">3 stars</span>

I am glad we found it ! This restaurant is not very appealing from the outside, but it has a great atmosphere inside. With traditional and contemporary decor, friendly staff, quiet atmosphere, it offers <span class="st">a great sense of warmth and coziness.</span> Here are a few things I have tried :
<br />
<br /><div style="text-align: center;">(a) Bread with olive oil and creamy garlic dip - appetizer while waiting for my meal!
<br />
<br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSypupwYk_b3J0pWyytBSfy_z7sPBORh8macI-WakOlZq0yccl9rMnIkrTV81whAzdAdbYc1Vm_W1BAv9dVXQnLi_FzBEEItfb7K47CHCOoqwzov4NzkvFmO4UEfM3OAShPH7qtLbldg/s1600/IMG_1146.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSypupwYk_b3J0pWyytBSfy_z7sPBORh8macI-WakOlZq0yccl9rMnIkrTV81whAzdAdbYc1Vm_W1BAv9dVXQnLi_FzBEEItfb7K47CHCOoqwzov4NzkvFmO4UEfM3OAShPH7qtLbldg/s320/IMG_1146.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5639257359959581026" border="0" /></a>
<br /><div style="text-align: center;">(b) Main courses are served with a choice of side dish - rice, salad or potato slices. I had the "Bacalhau Grelhado" - A grilled cod fish served with zucchini, mushroom and paprika, and accompanied by green salsa sauce (Salsa Verde). The fish was tasted good, moderately tender and not over-grilled - it was grilled just right so that the edges are not too charred, loved it! The 'zucchini+mushroom' was brilliant, loved it even more!! Suggestion : You may <span class="st">opt for rice or potato instead</span> of salad..

<br /><div style="text-align: center;">(c) My dessert : A Portuguese Custard Tart. The crust was little bit dry and the custard filling was far too sweet for me. It was served cold and didnt enjoy it much.. I prefer the one at room temperature or warm from the oven ;)

The flatbread was a little bit hard and cold. The grilled chicken was good. The tomato cream sauce went well with the chicken. The dish was served with a mixed salad. The salad dressing needs some improvements - a large amount of spices was added to the yogurt sauce! The plain lassi was smooth, slightly creamy but too sweet. The owner was kind enough to replace it with a new salty lassi (at no additonal cost!)<br /><br />Few reasons to visit Indian Curry House...<br /><ul><li>A cheap stomach filling food : Plain lassi + Chicken Tikka with Chapati ~ 7 EUR</li><li>Good food and service!

Fine dining is exciting, soul-satisfying! but, sometimes all you want is a decent daily food at a very reasonable price.

We went to the <a href="http://www.sushibar-muenster.de/index.htm">SushiBar</a>, which is located not so far from the main station. This fast-food restaurant includes a bar with *sushi train* that is attached to a large open kitchen; there are few regular table seating and the traditional Japanese floor seating. The restaurant is subtly decorated with some japanese artifacts<span> and plants.<br /><br />I had the (a) "Grosse Portion" sushi menu which includes 8 nigiris (Tuna, 2 x Salmon, Prawn, Octopus, Mackerel, Tamago and Squid) and 8 maki sushi...

The restaurant offers a simple yet 'chill' atmosphere. The dining room is huge and features high ceilings and glass windows. There are plenty of carefully spaced long tables and sofas. Reservation is not required - don't worry if the place is packed...at Vapiano, it's easy to share a table with strangers...Another nice things about this restaurant is it has a great outdoor seating!<br />The restaurant serves reasonably-priced pizzas, pastas, desserts and antipasti. The pizzas and pastas are grouped according to price on the menu. With a chip card, you can directly order your food at the food-serving counters. The food is prepared in front of the customer. There are different types of pasta (e.g. spaghetti, fusilli, ravioli, campanelle, penne, linguine, etc.) available. The chef can assist you in the selection of pasta that goes well with your dish. If your order (like pizzas) takes some time to prepare, you will be given a wireless device which vibrates when your food is ready for collection.<br /><br /><ul><li><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGA-_zdn-xA3ry0Mg3WsjXNIT8NXRDzO-T8dGhILPanLLQ4EKgwf1Wm-m-HnfXbW90XrYkSgHsYF0W2-m6i4fd8jk-_3lXi9BhcOXDGjafF9k8e7ZNX-1sas6wn9bKu8TlyS8x99UTmQ/s1600/IMG_2033.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGA-_zdn-xA3ry0Mg3WsjXNIT8NXRDzO-T8dGhILPanLLQ4EKgwf1Wm-m-HnfXbW90XrYkSgHsYF0W2-m6i4fd8jk-_3lXi9BhcOXDGjafF9k8e7ZNX-1sas6wn9bKu8TlyS8x99UTmQ/s320/IMG_2033.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5602466576316246386" border="0" /></a>[food] I had the Asian fusion pasta "Tacchino Piccante" - <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campanelle">Campanelle</a> served with chicken, <span class="zutat">orange-chili sauce, pak-choi, and peppers.

I was so pleased when AB @ (my half greek friend) suggested me to visit <a href="http://www.griechische-taverna.de/index.php">Taverna</a> - a Greek restaurant situated not so far from the city center. The restaurant is not overly decorated, spacious and cozy. The interior décor of Taverna features "face brick" installed on the main wall with some simple framed illustrations, few huge mirrors, a decent number of tables and chairs, etc. The menu is extensive, from mezze (a selection of small dishes) to grilled seafood, meat, fresh salads and wines.<ul><li><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQTyzvlbTeQwygXQu3aXbUbVf7YT7BPM9_kwKzHv5__iSAlXHCFXgmMOBVlyq3XwX8OSvuhLy3QTVA6O6K7-oVqdED3p2p1NM-URGzx7U9yFNB0mBBPQ5WjtjA8JYVG1eQ50h7Ti9jwQ/s1600/IMG_0796.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQTyzvlbTeQwygXQu3aXbUbVf7YT7BPM9_kwKzHv5__iSAlXHCFXgmMOBVlyq3XwX8OSvuhLy3QTVA6O6K7-oVqdED3p2p1NM-URGzx7U9yFNB0mBBPQ5WjtjA8JYVG1eQ50h7Ti9jwQ/s320/IMG_0796.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5596143910567743378" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnbAb1UP1-9FgeKAQijmdo5RGASpxk9E-ewYn0h6iLBWwt5p-jcvrjS3oWos-vcXwSgRm20oFdNxF6AdXJSUbdtZQElBM7775KefZdEV95MVSMezLbd0i-zGyhLH3HAeY3yfB-enPGOw/s1600/IMG_0798.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnbAb1UP1-9FgeKAQijmdo5RGASpxk9E-ewYn0h6iLBWwt5p-jcvrjS3oWos-vcXwSgRm20oFdNxF6AdXJSUbdtZQElBM7775KefZdEV95MVSMezLbd0i-zGyhLH3HAeY3yfB-enPGOw/s320/IMG_0798.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5596143990910695826" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-UGBmYcxIMEcszwC4_ElK5bIDMS0ENBP9VjMJ-NLC7IoY3zZtXycU0hv_VuakoDUZRsd5fFmmUgwkJwLya95tgCrVU1jGc8j5fx668LrR2VUJ2cuf1hb4ZueffurlCNlziarzePbK0g/s1600/IMG_0800.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-UGBmYcxIMEcszwC4_ElK5bIDMS0ENBP9VjMJ-NLC7IoY3zZtXycU0hv_VuakoDUZRsd5fFmmUgwkJwLya95tgCrVU1jGc8j5fx668LrR2VUJ2cuf1hb4ZueffurlCNlziarzePbK0g/s320/IMG_0800.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5596144064726216498" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOmYRcrwEtOffR5xXYTp8tR0gGV5nTb4eXone2K5pEBs9cNFG-Q57CAIf3DCDbrzIW4BfNYteGGgHDMPBsxb2mZueLZNqbhilJPoKYAk4t0TGsQbUSQVIQe0C1z_GW9w7bSsFGdKVyAg/s1600/IMG_0801.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOmYRcrwEtOffR5xXYTp8tR0gGV5nTb4eXone2K5pEBs9cNFG-Q57CAIf3DCDbrzIW4BfNYteGGgHDMPBsxb2mZueLZNqbhilJPoKYAk4t0TGsQbUSQVIQe0C1z_GW9w7bSsFGdKVyAg/s320/IMG_0801.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5596144126488696818" border="0" /></a>[food] I started with a glass of Apfelschorle @ apple juice mixed with carbonated water - didn't work for me! the juice was over-diluted and tasted more like water!!

This restaurant is owned by the same owner of the Mocca d'or and Cafe Med. Although it is located within the main restaurant @ Mocca d'or, FIU has its own distinctive design features - a dining area surrounded with brick walls, a huge wine bottle rack, charcoal grill in an open kitchen, a small salad bar which includes selection of salads and several fresh seafood displayed on ice. The restaurant is decorated with black and white photos of seafood, a colorful abstract portrait, and the menus are provided on a large white board. Don't forget to check the small, old clock hanging in a corner of the room! There is limited seating inside (around 7 tables) and a small amount of outdoor seating.<br /><ul><li><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglMlvgNLt1KP_hP0aWo52EY8X8Z-_1eK7KW2swS32mbdeIRTmU8vDE-MFFXqUMD-KdExDhClJblM6QY9hLPa7NTcOdeBcmQAKqVRMIBEzY8Qf7F1ALR4AZp__4OhQgz7S8EKwQoqowIw/s1600/IMG_0772.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglMlvgNLt1KP_hP0aWo52EY8X8Z-_1eK7KW2swS32mbdeIRTmU8vDE-MFFXqUMD-KdExDhClJblM6QY9hLPa7NTcOdeBcmQAKqVRMIBEzY8Qf7F1ALR4AZp__4OhQgz7S8EKwQoqowIw/s320/IMG_0772.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5587426296673945730" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgD4RgHG9UN-nG84Xc1fsSz4LUAdp5_XXWlH2jRZY8VVhAKSDNNYWE3Tvl9Ca4fzr1MEIfjIkG23OB1OZzaL_uk8q_0G0EKH7A7UIgtzRKyxs81rdgtxGmjdAHW3oGkQc_ySyQ-tlplSQ/s1600/IMG_0773.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgD4RgHG9UN-nG84Xc1fsSz4LUAdp5_XXWlH2jRZY8VVhAKSDNNYWE3Tvl9Ca4fzr1MEIfjIkG23OB1OZzaL_uk8q_0G0EKH7A7UIgtzRKyxs81rdgtxGmjdAHW3oGkQc_ySyQ-tlplSQ/s320/IMG_0773.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5587426480124080722" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEht8gRBrvDVILJzz2rgIqGP69qnXgiIRcJRqpeM5nKwM4NaK_ReOEf1UVjK1XNGrWyvT1m8mCeOOfwKxE2aAV7bAZvNCHs0rMMKN-hOSVD3le8rNQpOid-zOHTT-5HXS8CmZxhDdYFs6A/s1600/IMG_0774.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEht8gRBrvDVILJzz2rgIqGP69qnXgiIRcJRqpeM5nKwM4NaK_ReOEf1UVjK1XNGrWyvT1m8mCeOOfwKxE2aAV7bAZvNCHs0rMMKN-hOSVD3le8rNQpOid-zOHTT-5HXS8CmZxhDdYFs6A/s320/IMG_0774.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5587426652226668978" border="0" /></a>[food] The complimentary homemade bread served with dips set the evening off to a good start. I love the sun-dried tomato dip!!!The grilled fish set meal includes a decent sized Zander fillet and a large bowl of salad with yummy yogurt sauce. The main course served with some tomato sauce and a seasoned bread. The fish fillet was well prepared to ensure they retained their taste of seafood. The sauce could have simply benefited from a little extra seasoning though...<br /></li><li>[service] The service was slow - good grilling takes time anyway!<br /></li><li>[price] Prix fixe (A fish fillet with salad) = EUR 13.40 ..

The restaurant is small, so reservations are highly recommended.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09012220918567472637noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1891963301596541066.post-49014310319575201682011-03-08T13:27:00.001-08:002011-08-11T10:24:48.393-07:00Meine Culinarische Reise durch Münster : EnchiladaToday we had our Mexican dinner at <a href="http://www.enchilada.de/index.php?id=1156">Enchilada</a><span style="" id="search">. </span>The restaurant<span style="" id="search"> is an old brick building with high ceiling and large arched windows.
