Phew! Saw the list!? I started with Spargelcremesuppe, a cream of asparagus soup, warm and nice, perfect to go with the weather. I also tried Sauerkraut crullers and Quark Cheese, Herbs mini Pizzette. Crullers were crispy, flaky and stuffed with veggies. Loved it! Pizzette are mini pizzas and here it was topped with cheese and herb.Balanced taste to go well with the mocktails.
Mirchi ka Salan and Biryani tasted superb. I tried Linzer Torte and Chocolate Marquise, both tasted distinct and nice.
