Look what I've had! Meatballs @ Erich's BACKSTUBE

I had always wanted to try "Erich's BACKSTUBE" along Sago Street (behind Buddha Tooth Relic Temple). Erich, the same 'friendly giant' Austrian who serves quality sausages at "Erich's Wuerstelstand", a kiosk along Trengganu Street (less than a minute away from "Erich's BACKSTUBE" and is already an iconic 'angmoh' (crudely called by some locals) in Chinatown. Since the time I visited Austria and Salzburg, I fell in love with Austrian food such as the Schnitzel and sausages. I only discovered authentic Austrian food at Wiener Kaffeehaus. But snacking away at "Erich's Wuerstelstand" gives me a reminiscence of munching on a sausage with sauerkraut in the chilly Salzburg morning. I love sauerkraut and having tried the less tasty supermarket pre-packed sauerkraut in Austria, I am very glad that I am able to experience the very same great taste again in Singapore!

"Erich's BACKSTUBE" is a corner shop that serves a different range of 'fast-food' such as muffins and breads, a bagel sandwich and chicken meatballs. I asked the pretty lady behind the counter for some recommendations and pointed out the Chicken Meatballs without hesitation. Though I was having the intention to try the bagel sandwich, I decided to take her recommendation.

Chicken Meatballs and Mashed Potato
S$4
8 pieces of juicy soft chicken meatball drowned in a tasty brown sauce served with finely mashed potato topped with fried shallots. My senses brightened up after taking the first bite on the not too visually stunning snack. It ain't about appearance, it is about quality great tastes that makes you clean up the disposeable bowl. Though the portion is not huge enough to fill me up, I can always complete my meal with some pork sausage and sauerkrat at "Erich's Wuerstelstand"!


Verdict
I cannot help but to compare this to what IKEA serves at their restaurant, Erich's BACKSTUBE is better though the difference is not significant great, but for the cheap price of S$4, the chicken meatballs is definitely a MUST-TRY! If you looking for a fast-snack or fast-food, forget the big corporate fast-food joints, Erich's BACKSTUBE and WUERSTELSTAND are the places to visit for an authentically great Austrian taste!
