In terms of food,
I heard that the pork knuckle is this restaurant's specialty—
It's quite a famous good choice.
On that day, we ordered the pork knuckle to share,
and it was paired with various dipping sauces.
Indeed, it was a high-quality pork knuckle, a good choice!
Not overly greasy,
each piece would make you want to eat a few more!
As for the other brunch items, they were somewhat forgettable.
The ingredients and flavors were good, but nothing particularly stood out. 😆
For example, we ordered a beef brunch option,
but unfortunately, the portion of meat was quite small.
It was also paired with yogurt and toast,
but nothing special about it.
On that day, perhaps because it was a holiday afternoon,
there were more customers.
As a result, the pancakes dessert we ordered came quite late.
After we mentioned it to the staff, we still waited a long time for it to arrive.
My friend at the table was a bit displeased and reacted to the staff
(with a loud “What’s going on!” 🤯).
However, it's worth praising that
the staff quickly and decisively took remedial measures
and offered us all an extra little dessert.
This calmed everyone's irritation,
so the service managed to redeem itself! 😂😂
The restaurant's decor and atmosphere were quite decent,
but although the space wasn't cramped, the table distance was short,
so it was still fairly noisy when there were many customers.
As for the location, there are many brunch places nearby—
it's a first-rate battle zone!

In the Nanjing Fuxing station area, filled with various breakfast spots,
how can this restaurant stand out and be chosen?
First of all, this restaurant has inline reservations!
As a tech person, being able to make online reservations is already a pass! 😂😂😂
At least it can be considered a backup restaurant, right?
And if you want to bring a girl here,
you definitely need to plan the follow-up activities well!
Just think about it, what’s nearby Nanjing Fuxing?
After two people happily finish the pork knuckle,
they can, of course, go to IKEA for a stroll.
At this point, the girl might start to feel butterflies in her stomach!
👩: Hehe, does this mean something that you brought me to IKEA so quickly to pick out furniture~~
👩: Are we going to have a little nest together? 🥹🥹🥹
Isn’t this a bit too fast? 🥺🥺🥺
What does it mean to take a girl to IKEA?
Is it to suggest the concept of building a room together, or a home together?
You see, this really sparks the girl’s curiosity,
as they say, stirring the waves in someone’s heart
creates a feeling of excitement! ❤️❤️
But if we don't want to go to IKEA, there’s still Breeze Nanjing Department Store to explore!
Check out the various boutique shops inside.
It’s just right to test whether her views align with yours (or not?)
👩: Bro~~~ I want this (pointing at an Hermes bag).
🤦♂️: Sorry, bro only has love, the horse is still on the way.
At this point, you’ll know that this girl is one you can’t afford to sustain.
Oh dear! 🫠🫠🫠
✨ Dining limited to 90 minutes
✨ Minimum spend of $200 per person for dining in
✨ Pets on leashes can be on the floor or on the chair
A pet-friendly German bistro.
Pets on leashes can be on the floor or sit with their owners.
Nearby is a park where you can take a walk after eating.
There are plenty of seats – with a first floor, basement, and outdoor seating.
During dining hours, it gets quite lively when there are more people.
It feels like a great place to watch a game if there’s a projector. 😂
๑ German Roasted Beer Pork Knuckle $700 ◡̈
The pork knuckle is really the signature dish here.
The skin is thick and crispy – it crackles when you bite into it.
Those who love crispy roast meat will definitely adore this skin ♡
The meat of the pork knuckle is neither dry nor gets stuck in your teeth.
The portion is quite large; I think it’s suitable for sharing among 3-4 people.
๑ Mixed Nuts and Vegetable Salad $260 ◡̈
The salad has black beans, pumpkin seeds, apples, guava,
raisins, dried cranberries, pineapple, cucumber, and tomatoes.
The black beans and pumpkin seeds add a nice touch – they give a nutty aroma when you bite into them.
We chose sherry vinegar for the dressing; it has a slight sourness that cuts through the heaviness.
The saltiness of the German pork knuckle is just right with this salad.
๑ German Meaty Brunch $500
This plate includes roasted chicken thighs, honey-glazed smoked meat, and German pork chops,
along with authentic German sausages which have a solid meaty texture.
The brunch comes with a drink, and we chose iced Americano.
Surprisingly impressive – it has a strong coffee flavor and is really tasty.
๑ Garlic Truffle Fries $230
They are delicious thick-cut crispy fries, though they lack the truffle flavor.
However, the garlic flavor is quite strong, and there are lots of garlic bits.
If you’re after truffle, you might want to skip this dish.
I’d recommend it to those who love garlic flavor! ʕʘ̅͜ʘ̅ʔ
( ◡̈ : I recommend it! )
🎖️ 1886 German Car Restaurant 🎖️
There are many foreign restaurants in the Lujiazui area of Shanghai. Today, I visited this German restaurant with my colleagues and a Korean coworker. (The boss is treating us, grateful~) 🤗🤗🤗
The reason we chose this restaurant is that their cutlery is shaped like a "wrench" (as you can see in the picture). As a car mechanic, carrying a wrench around is quite a reasonable thing, isn't it? Especially for someone like us who repairs machinery.
First up was:
🎖️ Tortilla Chips, freshly baked, quite crispy and hot, perfectly paired with the meat sauce.
🎖️ Tuna Salad, highly recommended! The outside is grilled, while the middle remains raw, making it very tender and delicious. This dish deserves five stars.
🎖️ Beef and Foie Gras Sandwich
Again, highly recommended! The foie gras is rich and tasty, with a slight char that pairs perfectly with the beef. One bite, and it’s just so delicious. This is on the pricey side, three pieces for 109 RMB, equaling about 150 TWD each. But who cares? The boss is treating, so we had to get two!
🎖️ Flaming Pork Knuckle
A must-order! They pour alcohol over the pork knuckle, set it on fire, creating a great visual effect. The skin gets very crispy, and the staff will help cut it open; the meat is incredibly tasty.
🎖️ Watch Your Teeth
For dessert, we didn’t have many options, so we ordered what the staff recommended. To our surprise, the chocolate on top of the dessert was designed in the shape of wrenches/bolts/nuts, very creative! The details are that the nuts and bolts even have threads, and the two fit together perfectly! They can be twisted in!! Amazing!! Look at how happy my colleague is eating.
🔱 haxnbauer Heisenberg German Restaurant 🔱
Heisenberg German Restaurant is a chain of German restaurants. During the European Cup, many people will go there to drink, eat and watch football matches, and we are no exception.
The decoration of the store is German Bavaria style.
(I suddenly miss going to the Oktoberfest in Germany)
The set menu ordered includes salad, ham pancakes and the most important German platter.
✔️ Ham pizza
The base is very thin, crispy and delicious, paired with thinly sliced Iberico ham
✔️German platter
Today’s highlight includes a German fried pork knuckle, German sausage and grilled ribs.
The store will cut the German-style pork knuckles for you. The outer skin of the pig is fried to a golden crisp, but the inner pork is still very soft and tender. Dip it in yellow mustard sauce and it tastes great, just like the pig's feet I remember eating in German restaurants.
German sausages are very different from Taiwanese sausages and taste good. They are also very similar to the ones I used to buy on the streets in Germany.
In addition, they also have sauerkraut to relieve your fatigue.
It really doesn’t feel too good to pair it with two glasses of German beer.
Overall, the food was pretty good, but the main thing was the atmosphere.
Here you can feel the atmosphere of the European Cup.
