Friendly Uncle in Berlin ..

I have decided to post this entry about a stall owner in Berlin as I have received good hospitality from him when I was there. He is a friendly guy who is half Cantonese and half vietnamese. He came all the way from Vietnam 30-40 years ago (I think) and settled here in Berlin, Germany. He can speak the German language pretty well, much better than me speaking Mandarin.....

He sells typical Chinese/Vietnamese Hawker food, like fried noodles with pork chops, hot porridge, rice etc. He runs a stall on the way to the Palace of Charlottenburg. The food are not expensive at all. For 3 euros you get a nice plate of fried noodle with plenty of meat..deep fried pork...pork chops..etc....and most of the listed food their cost only 3-4 euros.

Look at that...yummy!!!

Elvis and I chatted with him for a while. He is able to converse in a little bit of English (which is quite impressive as his primary language is German language). He introduced us the landmarks around Berlin and we shared a little bit of our experience in Europe with him. He kept asking us if we want more food...free of charge...yes he actually prepared to served us all kinds of food he had there but we declined. For us we are not the ones that will take advantage of other people nor the greeedy kind.. We only take the free tea he offered us...ok...2 rounds of tea..and I think Elvis had three...

I'm the greedy bastard on the left...

If you happen to visit Berlin, Just drop by his stall and chat with him. He'd be very happy to give you directions and perhaps a free drink...

Trash for lunch??

I took this photo when I was in Berlin....

Behold, the White Trash Fast Food Restaurant...

Imagine if you walk in to the restaurant and ask the waiter to recommend some local delights for lunch or dinner.

Customer: Do you have any good recommendations?

Waiter: We have the Chef specials today, the Cheesy Oyster Platter with thick Green herbal sauce...

Customer: Sounds interesting..how do you prepare it?

Waiter: First, we take the leftover oyster dumped in the market, then mix it with the cheese found in the unwanted cheese burgers and then finish it with some puke by the drunks from the bar...

Customer: !!!!!

Waiter: Or would you like to try something lighter? We have great selection of snacks available. We have cheese burger, quater pounder, bacon and cheese burger, fillet o' fish. As for the salad, we have fruit salad, wild vege salad, and special farm delights. All snacks are served with a soup free of charge.

Customer: hmmmm....

Waiter: We are committed in only serving the freshest burgers and salad. Our workers are busy collecting the newly dumped burgers from McDonalds and Burger King. We also got the leftover veges from the kids' plate in the nursery and school canteen. For the Special Farm Delights salad, they are collected from the rabbit's farm near here. The soup are delivered to us every morning from the sewage system installed from the food factories to our kitchen. So it's first hand.....

Customer (just lost his appetite): what about drinks??

Waiter: We have our special Cocktail here. It's made by mixing the German cockroach and the lizard tails found in the dumpster behind our restaurant. The German cockroach are the best cockroach out there. Or would you be interested in our Maggot juice? We have some really big and juicy maggots in our kitchen now...

Customer: !... I guess I'll have a glass of water then....

Waiter: Sure. Be right back.

After writing down the order, the waiter went to the restroom and prepare the drink....

Disclaimer:

I'm just making fun of the restaurant name. No offense seriously. For those who have tried the food there please let me know how are the dishes served there. Really appreciated.
