Berlin Food.
So, here is the crappest value meal i have had so far on the trip (maybe ever!). I got it at a restaurant attached to an up-scale Xmas market, so its no wonder it was over priced, but damn.. It was on the menu as King Prawn noodles with Cognac sauce (or thats how it was translated by the waiter, who also assured me it wasn't creamy!). I would call penne pasta not noodles personally, and it only had TWO prawns in it!!! ANd it was swimming in cream and butter, so i hardly ate any of it. Now, i guess i should have figured a cognac sauce would accompany pasta not noodles, and it would be creamy, but i imagined some asian noodle dish with a citrus sauce that had an extra bite of cognac... not so! and it was 13.50 euro, or AUS$22... which way too much!
So, to fill my tummy two hours later, i had Subway! This is roast chicken with lettuce, onion and cucumber with sweet onion sauce, it was only 3.5 euro, and delicious! :) And here it is a slice of chicken breast as opposed to the processed chicken u get in australia.
And for todays lunch i wanted something German-ish, and seeing bratwurst etc are all too fatty, i took the least deadly option at the stall at the xmas market, which was a pork/lamb/beef (not sure which) fillet with seasoned onions on a round roll, i.e. a steak sandwich - but with nice spices. It was also 3.5 euro, and very yummy.
I am planning to go find somewhere for dinner tonight nearby. There is supposed to be a strip of restaurants around here, so i will try to find something nice/low fat/reasonably priced... fingers crossed.
