    Just rolled home after a food mission to Casablanca.
    Guenther the Boss and Chef came to me and offered me something where I was a bit skeptical about to eat that in the Philippines.

    Hax'n mit Sauerkraut und Bratkartoffeln

    hmmm, I know most of you have no real ideas what that is, but it is probably THAT traditional dish of Bavaria and Austria. A kind of Pork knuckles with roast potatoes and Sauerkraut.... or to make it short loads of MEAT !!!

    It was served in a steel-pan nicely prepared and I hardly could believe my eyes about the amount of food in this pan. The taste was fantastic. Good mustard and a dark sauce are additional served.

    being a friend of Guenther I just thought it is a "come on-Rhoody-eat-something-proper-you-look-so-weak" kinda thingy, but than I saw that another (unknown) guest got exactly the same size portion. That is without any doubt at least 4 times as much as you get at joe's chicken but real quality-food

    After I really was able to finish it Guenther served me a "Erdinger Weissbier" one of my favourites in Germany. He told me proud that there are up to 25 different kind of beers available at Casablanca in Dumaguete.

    When I paid I asked the waitress if it is no mistake with the Hax'n and she said no. Here the price : 248 Peso only ...for that Hax'n

    They told me to keep that for a while as a special on the menu. Man I'll be back...

    So I was right Rhoody .... there are some things really good in your country.
    So don't tell new DI-members who live in Germany why the hell they want to live there :smile:
    Sauerkraut und Bratkartoffeln !! Prosit.
    You finished the food, but why not the beer ?

    I ate at Casablanca on 3 separate occasions while in Duma last December.The Lasagna was great,a very big portion,and from what I recall only cost me around 200 or so Pesos.The Erdinger Weissen is also My favorite beer of choice when I'm there.Guenther also gave Me a free complimentary shot of some clear Liquor that was very tasty,and strong too,but I can't recall what the name of it was.Now that I've seen the picture of the PigsKnuckle and Cabbage I'm starting to get hungry.Of course,I can't have that without the beer....I'll be there on the 29th of June to test drive it...

    Guenther, the chef, must also be the chef at the Atlantis Dive Resort. His dishes kept me well fed during my visit there in April.

    Is it really that better now in Atlantis ?
    Sorry Rhoody, I could not stop joking on this :D
    Of course i know what you mean ....???? .... do I really :confused:
    Is it even better at Casablanca or is it worsening at Atlantis ?
