I don’t know about you but Monday and I just don’t click. Just yesterday night, the thought of waking up to Monday the next morning was enough to keep me awake lying on my bed, tossing and turning hoping that time would pass slower. Anyway, to while the bluesy Monday away, here is a short post on a German restaurant and bar called Bavarian Bierhaus in Jaya 33. We were there last week for lunch and I found out that it was quite affordable considering its big portion, German food!

The good thing about set lunch here was the different menu that was rotated daily, with several choices per day. This meant that a group of people could go here everyday and order different things to try out, which was what we did. We were there on a Friday, so we had the choice of either Sausages, Fish burger, Pork loin steak or Grilled lamb steak. We ordered 3 out of the 4 choices, with the exception of Fish burger. Each set cost RM19++ and came with a soup and a drink.

Most of us opted for the Ice lemon tea and I was impressed to find that it’s not diluted or bland, as most free ice lemon tea drinks are.

The Soup of the day was Carrot soup, basically a concoction with plenty of finely chopped carrots. This was rather sweet and flavourful but lacked the creamy finish that would make it a whole lot better.

Moving on to the mains, the Vienna & Thueringer Sausages came first – long and meaty sausages served with tuna salad and french beans. We had higher expectations on the sausages seeing that these were sort of the staple food of Germany but we were slightly disappointed. The Vienna sausages were especially common and tasted like the normal hot dog we could find from supermarkets, except that these were slightly fatter and longer. The Thueringer’s fared slightly better though not exceptional and the friend who ordered this wished he’d ordered something else from the menu.

Another friend opted for the Pork Loin Steak, which came in a rather sizable portion with plenty of potato wedges. I did not try this personally but the initial comments were good and delicious, with the comments changing to dry and bland towards the end. I guess the big piece of pork loin required longer time for the marinade or juices to seep through evenly, hence resulting in certain parts of the pork that were dry in the middle.

As for me, I had the Grilled Lamb Steak which was initially mixed up in the orders, and only came when the rest were finishing their meals. Well, as they say it, good things come to those who wait, and boy was that true! The serving had two huge slabs of lamb steak, perfectly grilled with slightly burnt edges and an aroma that we could smell from meters away. Perhaps it was the long wait, or perhaps it was the growling stomach but the steak turned out to be extremely tender and juicy with just the right amount of gaminess within. There was just a minimal layer of fat at the edges that could easily be detached if you don’t fancy fatty meat, but otherwise, it just complemented the lamb and made it all the more juicy. This was one of the better lamb steaks that I had tasted and with such a huge portion, I’d say it’s definitely the best value set lunch for Friday!

If you ever visit Bavarian Bierhaus on Friday afternoons, do give the lamb steak a try. Even if you have to wait, it’s going to be worth it!
