Paulaner im Spreebogen, Berlin


Last week, I was on a business trip in Germany for a week together with four other Indonesian colleagues. The first day in Berlin, we headed to the famous Paulaner restaurant to indulge ourselves with Bavarian German cuisine. 


The Paulaner menu in Berlin is quite similar to the one in Jakarta but there are more variants.

Salad
This salad is a side dish for some dishes.

Knusprige Schweinshaxn frisch aus dem Ofen - EUR 15.50

 It is served with sauerkraut and bred dumpling.

The meat was so tender and the skin was very crispy. A very satisfying meal.
