I've been eating a lot while I was in Berlin so I must at least publish some of the nice food that I 'unshamed-ly' took pictures of (even after weeks of interval) :$
Typically German food are saltier (at least to my taste) but their hams & sausages are really, mmm....yum yum. As much as I enjoy the food, not everything is to my taste. Tried a special crepé in market with Eierlikor (some sort of liquor) which makes it taste bitter...:( The one contains Nutella (chocolate & hazelnut) tasted very nice though :)
Café Kranzler caught my eye immediately when we drove by Berlin city centre one of the days. Strategically located in the heart of city, on the second floor where one can sit back & enjoy the hustle bustles of the city while sipping coffee (that's exactly what I did, lol). Smoked salmon bagel, coffee*2 (an ordinary one & a chai tea) and a piece of Sachertorte...simply the best way to spend a late afternoon after hours of tiring walking around the city :D
I was brought to Greek food which is slightly 'German localized' for dinner on one of the days. Normally I don't particularly fancy Greek food but the salmon wrap & chicken wrapped spinach in creamy chesse sauce with rice taste nice except they tasted slightly on the salty side. Most important thing is: I get to try the famour Berliner Weiser (a drink with beer & fruit syrup, a little sour but very soothing) and I can't stop sipping them througout dinner.
Some of the Chinese restaurants in Berlin serve really nice Chinese food as well (at least the ones that I've been brought to are all nice). Not that they're 100% authentic (but then again, what is really authentic in this globalized world?) and are tailored to local taste but I'm still pretty amazed with the quality considering it's a European country.
I cannot bring myself to take any Chinese food pictures. Don't want to make others thinkin that I'm a Chinese girl from 'jungle' who never see proper Chinese food before, so no pictures on the cryspy aromatic duck or the mongolian BBQ dinner that I ate :p A new thing is that all of the restaurants serve a small glass of plum wine upon customer paying the bill, nice!
A specialty that I'd deem as 'definite must try' if you visit Berlin is the 'German Tapas' @ Schnitzelei. Some of the more famous typical German food serve in tapas style (total of 18 different types) & they have English menu! 3 of us ordered 9 tapas, finish it within minutes & continue with another 6 tapas... my favourite?? mini savoy cabbage roulade with bacon sauce!
