What we ordered: As mentioned above, we went with the lunch deal (weekday - I think they don't have the same deal for weekend). I always wanted to try out their German style pork knuckle, so we ordered that for 2 persons (only that option so we can't do any other mains). We picked Parma ham & cantaloupe, and beetroot salad for appetizers. The set also comes with dessert, and tea or coffee (we ordered black coffee and iced tea).
Before I go into dish-by-dish review. I will make a note that looking around, this place is very crowded on Wednesday lunch. Perhaps it's the Wednesday before long weekend (Thu - Sun) so that's almost like a Friday. The place is spacious, and having sit next to the sea, it's quite breezy. Looking at my neighbours, I see quite a few people also ordered pork knuckle (and they left out a few potato, read below to see why), some burger, and some steak. The steak also looks nice, but burger not so much.
The Parma ham & cantaloupe is alright, although I think it's a bit underwhelming. The Parma is not tasty, however at their defence it's pretty good for the pricing. Cantaloupe is a bit too ripe in my opinion.

Beetroot salad is surprisingly the recommended dish here. Not that it's super good but I normally don't like both salad and beetroot. However, I think the dressing is quite well done here. Nice salad mix too, not just cheap filler (there are some, but good enough).

Our main is the German style pork knuckle. I think it's overall good, but could be better. The good points are 1) pork is well seasoned (very tasty), 2) carrot is very well made too - sweet and nicely charred, and 3) they pre-cut the meat for us, which is a nice touch really. Things that can be improved (note that I didn't say it's "bad") are 1) skin can be crispier; to be completely clear it's not tough, just not as crispy as I hope, 2) although pork and carrot are very nicely seasoned, potato is quite disappointing; it's too dry and a bit tasteless (was expect a bit of sweetness or saltiness but not really), and 3) my personal view is that the "creamy" mustard seed sauce is a bit much; pork knuckle is already fatty and adding cream (if I have to guess it's either gravy or just butter) makes it too rich - we ended up asking for ketchup. All in all really, it's still ok. I would go back, with the lunch deal though.
