Alpine Villege (Torrance)

Food 17: South Bay + Shopping

DSC00747.jpg German mugs! Went to Alpine Villege today, a little-German+Swiss+Austria area with market, shops, restaurant and cultural events at Torrance. Turns out it's Oktoberfest right now! The waitress in the restaurant gave us a pack of coupons for 50% discount but as we don't care for beer so we didn't go/nor plan to. So why the sudden urge to go there? Because we've been cursed by German sauage recently (we'd explain that later ^^;;)...

DSC00738.jpgThe pate (can't tell what it's made of) is soooooo good that we ended up eating too much bread. Though it looks like a scope of icecream...


DSC00743.jpg Polish Sausage with Potato Salad and Sauerkraut (fermented cabbage that taste sour) $7.95
Very fat and juicy and quite good


DSC00746.jpgKnackwurst with mashed Potatoes and Sauerkraut $7.95
Taste rather normal...

Yeah no dessert because we're too full already, I couldn't even finish the sausage~ T_T The cappuccino I had was very good though.

The Polish sausage looks extremely good! Sausage definitely tastes better fried/grilled than boiled. Wasn't there any desserts? Oh you bought so much chocolate, haha.
