Krauted Haus<\/a><\/h3>\n

Mexican food in Berlin is, depending on who you ask, either substandard or just good enough. While it’s certainly better than the city’s attempts at other international cuisine\u00a0(especially<\/em> the\u00a0curry<\/a>), we hear complaints that even Berlin’s best isn’t that authentic. That’s why we were so excited to be invited to\u00a0Krauted Haus<\/strong><\/a> supper club’s special\u00a0\u00a1Ay, Chihuahua!<\/em> event.<\/p>\n

\"Krauted<\/p>\n

While I would have been happy with the best (or biggest!) burrito I’d ever eaten in my life, the other gourmands in attendance asked a little more from the multi-course neo-Mexican tasting menu. Conversation around the table in the hosts’ cute apartment touched on other restaurants and supper clubs in Berlin, and expectations for this one were running high. The menu<\/a> and margarita in front of us seemed to signal promise.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, the food didn’t disappoint. While the dishes that opened and closed the meal – pink gazpacho of watermelon, cucumber and almond<\/strong>, and pineapple custard<\/strong> –\u00a0proved to be acquired tastes, the meaty mains at its heart were triumphs. My taste buds were pricked by the\u00a0drunken grilled shrimp with beans, greens and abodo sauce<\/strong>, and Zo’s pigged out on the pork belly: Asado de Cochinillo served with delectable corn crepes and grilled banana<\/strong>.\u00a0Chilli sauce was brought to the table for heat freaks like myself, while the dark chocolate vodka chillis <\/strong>(genius!) and salsa that accompanied the nachos already came with plenty of kick.<\/p>\n

So \u00a1Ay, Chihuahua!\u00a0<\/em>was pretty ayiyawesome. If we had to criticise anything, it’s that we didn’t see enough of the Krauted Haus team itself. We “know” Samantha and Sophie from Twitter and share mutual friends, so it would have been great to get them out of the kitchen for a chat. Our favourite supper clubs<\/a>\u00a0have been the ones where the hosts have been around to explain – and in some cases, enjoy – the food, and even though Sophie’s parents were entertaining, they were no substitute! I guess we’ll just have to come on another night to get to know the girls – and their great food – better \";)\" Follow them on Facebook<\/a> for more details.<\/strong><\/p>\n
