Munich Gastro Bierhaus @ IOI Puchong

This was recommended by a friend and we had the opportunity to check them out one weekend. Munich Gastro Bierhaus is just located at IOI Boulevard Puchong (if you wonder where the hell is the boulevard, just opposite the Jusco/IOI Mall)
They also have "alfresco" dining but the boulevard is actually a covered one. So don't have to worry about rain and sun. But it could be quite warm on the sunny day.
So we chose to dine inside... it's a small place but cozy. When we reached there at 7 p.m, most of the tables have been taken up and we had to settle with a small table. It could be uncomfortable when you have more than 2 persons dining together.
The menu... quite a comprehensive one for German beers and foods.
Franzi Dunkel 1 pint @RM28.00 - Quite pricey but at least you get the chance to try the German Beer.
Pork Knuckle @ RM43.90 - You don't go to German restaurant and not ordering their pork knuckle! So we ordered ours... it was huge! The above photo didn't really do the justice about its size. Well, it was at least a foot long! The skin was damn crispy while the meat was tender. Trust me you could go no wrong with this one. I actually saw the table next to us, a family of 3 ( parents and a daughter) that ordered 2 pork knuckles and plate of pasta. Either the pork knuckle was so damn good or they had already starved for a period of time... either way I had to salute them!
Pork Ribs with BBQ sauce @ RM23.90 - Came in 4 pcs of ribs, which was just nice for 4 of us to share. It was quite good and worth a try.
Lamb Cutlet @ RM39.90 - Came in 4 pcs also... but smaller piece. It tasted quite OK but the price was a bit on the high side for its size and portion.

The total bill came to RM149.25 inclusive of 10% service charge. Overall I would say it was reasonable and definitely worth a come back. However my only complaint would be their small table. We literally had to swallow our food ( a bit exaggerated though) so that the plate could be cleared before the next dish came. This made our dining experience less enjoyable. From the time we ordered our food and paid the bill was less than an hour... It's good when you are in a rush but it was not in the case here.
