Curried pumpkin soup with Austrian white wine
I was invited to a food tasting at Karl Beisls by Andrew of one of our local dailies & when we arrived, two reporters from another daily have already started with dinner! The war of the universe has begun & yours truly was in the line of fire when the offensive party knows not that I do not work for their adversary. When the food arrived, they clamoured for the photo opportunity, leaving no room for Andrew or me to shoot. Getting a feel of a territorial war, I began to sympathise with Andrew. Seated next to the enemy, I had been the butt of their insinuations of our purported lateness. I replied, Oh, were you told to come earlier then? Hmmm…wonder why we were told to come at eight. Maybe they think we shouldnt eat that much.
When I had the chance, I whispered to Andrew, Oi, Uncle, I feel like Im treading in enemy waters, what have you done to them? Shes really sarcastic! Is this what you do in the reporting business???
Dunno lah, Auntie, they are all like that. Just enjoy your food & dont give them room to attack you.
Ok, our mode of operation became a story telling session. I couldnt eat most of the dishes due to my allergy but we had lots of fun sampling other non-pork dishes & sharing backpacking tales.
After losing 4.5kg in 5 weeks, I didnt think the pumpkin soup, salad & salmon steak would do anything to jeopardise my weight management program. My pants fit & I dont wobble when I walk. Thats all that matters.
Pork Jelly Salad – I cant touch this.
Pork Knuckle with Bratwurst…..cant touch this at all
Salmon Salad! Yummy!
Chef Karl Beisl with Roasted Suckling Pig…..I cant touch this. Im allergic to pork.
Another Pork Dish… cant touch this either
Osso Bucco Lamb Shank with Pasta – Im allergic to lamb too.
Ah, finally my Salmon Steak with Spinach & Mashed Potatoes!!!
I’m getting hungry just looking at all the delicious looking dishes.. or perhaps i shd say, “hau han” (itchy mouth).
Next time cannot eat the food ta-pau for me boleh?
Heheheh! Can….but not when there’s a war & I have to feed the ‘famished!’ I kena tembak cukup-cukup on being present so how would I dare ta-pau anything home??? Ming, Karl’s wife, did ask if anyone wanted to take anything home for our doggies, though…….(Mine died in 1999).
aiyoo..looks like went for wrong food tasting…all oso porker oni!!! Mun Wah lah should have gone there kekeke
Oh, yes, he should have been there. When is he not flying again? He owes me makan for making me shout in front of your house…..
Droolz………(hey but I ain’t cannibal)
The suckling piglet looks really nice… *Drool* Hehehe… where’s this place?
The food is super pricey & it’s located at Bangsar Puteri Condo in Bangsar. Pity I can’t tell you what all the pork tasted like. And I love the pumpkin soup…
