Obsessed with schwenk steak


Before I begin , I'd like you to know that I'm not exactly fond of pork back home . Because of poor quality feeds and very unsanitary conditions , it not only affects the smell of the meat , it can be a major turn off !

However , I decided to brave it and the very first schwenk steak we tried in Frankfurt was so darned good that we decided to sink our fangs into one whenever there was space left in our tummies and in whichever city or small town we found ourselves in next .

Starting with this grill we found near the Galleria

PURE restaurant - Sheraton Offenbach


We've just finished breakfast and since I still have internet access , allow me to show you around PURE restaurant where I took so many pics I risked being a Pure annoyance ( that's us , when we have a camera in hand )

So it's almost Christmas , and they've added this nice little decorative touch up on each table .



Amazing scenes direct from Frankfurt's 2016 Christmas Market


Yes ! I've finally made it here !
First via the super fabulous Qatar which treats economy fliers with gold standard hospitality .



Then through the German rail system which was a bit of a trouble to decipher and crack at first but thanks to the many friendly and helpful people I found , ( along with internet posts you see alongside the wall of my blog page ) , we made it out of the airport to our hotel outside Frankfurt and then all the way to the famous Christmas Market in Frankfurt !

Little Corner Cafe - first time having Picotea


" The stall is run by an angmoh kia "
Which made me scrutinise the cook as he whizzed to the back of the kopitiam . I noticed a lot of New York yellow cab toys placed like a recurring theme, from the stall to the display cabinet behind .
When I checked their facebook page , someone mentioned that this was an American burger joint .

He looked middle eastern at first glance , though he could be a Lebanese , Puerto Rican or some other nationality . Didn't ask . Just wild guessing .

What mattered was , why , of all places , would a foreigner choose this far flung kopitiam to set up shop .

As well as how he could whip up a Picotea dish that tastes so yummily addictive even with flattened buns that really reminded me of that marvellous Arab bread served in Dubai airport .
