werner's oven located at a rather deep location, amidst the other busy places. smacked right beside NTUC and some coffeeshop, werner's oven is not jus another eatery. the ambience of the place itself is quite ATAS. stepping into the shop you'll see some logos mounted, showing the specialties for the day, this is a rather typical way to attract customers i should say. and the beer logos shows that the place serves various imported beer. there are also some vintage pictures on the wall showing the boss and lady boss's photos. they used to be at Simpang Bedok in 1980s i think, and the boss is a real ang moh, i think most prob a German.
We order 2 main course, one of them being the all-time-favourite. Farmer's sausage. $21.50
served with soured cabbage and potato salad.
sausage was firm and juicy, not burnt. it was pipping hot when served.
the cabbages (German name: Sauerkraut) on the side isn't any simple preserved veg. its actually tradition soured cabbage that germans eat. The cabbages are fermented as it was believed that this can enhance the nutritional value of the cabbages.
Even thou this is suppose to be a healthy food, it wasn't to my liking as normally only spoilt vegetables taste sour. Not to offend anyone, but this jus isn't the ordinary vegetables we eat everyday. Perhaps for those who appreciate fermented vegetables, this will be perfect.
the pork sausage itself was spice loaded. With garlic, Parsley, and some chilli. the taste is very flavourful in each and every mouth. i don suggest biting it straight as it doesn't look very pleasant. the outer layers of the sausage is quite chewy but not at all difficult to swallow.
potato + Sauerkraut + sausage = Happy face
Boy's order was (German name: Grünkohl mit Rauchwurst und Kasslersmoked) sausage & smoked pork loin served with green kale & sauteed potatoes. $23.50 i should say this is a better choice than mine. the sides that comes along is stir fried potato and bacon together with "MEI CAI" (grren kale) you must be thinking why mei cai right. but ya, it is mei cai. perhaps germans do like some fermented veggies afterall. but something to note will be the delicious potato. fragrant and well blended with the bacon to give you many different textures.
Juicy sausage
Pork loin was rather dry but tasted good. boy came up w the idea that we should cut it into smaller pieces so that its easy to bite. this piece of loin came with some fat trimmings at the side which gave a good balance to the meat in adding some moisture. i like meat with some fats, its not as delicious if it was too lean. eating meat is not chewing gum.
Last but the best, this is apple spritzer. another version of zapple + sparkling juice. special as its an interesting flavour. and slightly sour to take away the meaty smell that lingers in your mouth.
Auntie note: its quite an expensive place, they do serve plain water if you are on a tighter budget. food wise 1 main is each filling enoughWerner's Oven
