Of note, the Hotpot was really hot and it hit the spot, and the Turkish grub was the most delicious thing I tasted all month.

Food in Berlin

Posted on 2014-09-24 by gigi

Tuna sandwich and cappuccino at CaffÃ¨ e Gelato in Potsdamer Platz.
Weird combination, specially for a place with good ice cream, but it really hit the spot.
—

Ramen soup and sake cocktail at Cocolo Ramen in X-Berg.
This is as good as the hype makes it. Superb food.
—

Pulled pork and brisket at Markt Halle Neun in X-berg.
Ana and Paulo took me there once and I love it. Every time I remember (and they are open, which is at very specific times) we give it another go. Meat done perfectly.
—

Sausage with mash and sauerkraut at Maximilians in Mitte.
Default German food craving restaurant for lunch with Telmo. Delicious traditional food.
—

Crisp knuckle of pork with Bavarian cabbage at Augustiner in Mitte.
Eating this two pound piece of meat was like playing “Operation” but in a delicious way. Another default German food restaurant. Delicious!

Basic Muffins

Posted on 2013-09-30 by gigi

So I did these muffins and they are great. Then I did them again and altered them a bit and they got better. The first batch was very good but a little under-sweet.

The process is exactly the same. The only difference is on the ingredients. These are my changes:

– Instead of Â½ cup granulated sugar I used 1 cupâ€”so I doubled the amount of sugar;
– Also, instead of 1 cup whole milk I used half a cup crÃ¨me fraÃ®che and half a cup whole milk.

I love this recipe because it’s super simple and quick to make. Very convenient if you need something sweet and filled with bad carbs.

Coke Chicken

Made this recipe of Coke Chicken and it was delicious and super simple. Scary simple, really… All it takes is Coca-Cola, Soy Sauce and Chicken.

Dump everything in a heavy pot and leave for 40 minutes covered. Uncover and give it another 30 minutes or so for the sauce to thicken. Yummy!

Thanks CC for the suggestion!
