Lovely meal yesterday

Before the Bavarian Anti-Defamation League hunt me down and I find an angry Wolperting in my hostel bed, I should say that there is at least one really good restaurant here. It's at the Chinesische Turm in the Englischer Garten to the north-east of the city centre

and you are admittedly serenaded with oompah music of the most oompahorrific kind


but the menu is reasonably interesting and very pleasant. Goat's-cheese creme brûlée with a spiced crunchy apple mash and a fresh salad, served with an interesting rosé

fillet of local fish on a bed of spinach with finely-sliced radish bits in, in a fish broth with tasty tomato chunks, served with a vigorous white wine

and a trio of successfully weird puddings: chocolate brownie with apricot, tiramisu made with weißbier rather than the usual espresso soaked sponges, and gorgeous strawberry ice cream rolled in crispy rocket pieces and Szechuan pepper, served with a double espresso.

That pagoda and the Englischergarten in general are among my favourite places in Munich. Did you see the perpetual wave on the river not far from there?
