Eurodeli - Run, run, run away!

DSC08104

This little piggy went to market, this little piggy stayed at home, this little piggy had roast beef,
and
this little piggy.. became my LUNCH.

Eurodeli for that piggy fix and supposedly authentic European food. What you see in Cumi's background are the famous Swiss-German specialities consisting of over 100 varieties of sausages and ham that are available for you to buy and cook up at home at a later stage. They are also available on the menu.

We paid the Eurodeli in Damansara Kim a visit and found that the outlet that opened in 1997, has recently refurbished. The entrance was full of congratulatory flowers.

For us, the food here was only just so-so. The Bratwurst was too salty and something as simple as the easy-to-whip-up mash potato lacked the potatoey, buttery creamy finish that I like. The sauerkraut was flat and lacked that fermented, vinegarish, cabbagey kick that is essential in a good sauerkraut.

Another point not in their favour was that the restaurant was so understaffed, 3 separate families came up to the bar counter to complain that they were not being served. Eek! Not good.

Taking the set, my lunch came with coffee (strong and good - needed this after the marathon) and a dessert (lame mousse thingy), all for only RM25.00

Man, nothing like the first ice cold beer for the day, especially after completing 21K! We deserve it eh? The only thing I can say about the draft beer at Eurodeli is that it is bitingly, stingingly good! Fresh is not the word.

Used to be a great outlet, esp the one in Jln Yap Kwan Seng. Sadly, agree with you that the standard is not upto par these days. :(
