The Forresters, Surry Hills, NSW
Tuesday is
$12 World of Schnitzel night at Forresters, Surry Hills. There are 5 flavours
to choose from: Hawaiian, Japanese, German, Mexican, and Parmigiana. How
exotic!
I decided
to live crazy and get the German one with swiss cheese, sauerkraut and Jäger
sauce. They totally nailed the German. With my first mouthful I had an instant
flashback to Oktoberfest (the $5 happy hour pints I enjoyed earlier down the
road at Excelsior Hotel probably also helped). If you don’t like the sour of
the sauerkraut then this flavour is not for you, as the schnitzel was loaded
with a good helping of the stuff. The schnitzel was also covered in Jäger sauce
but not drowning so no soggy schnitzel problem. The right ratio of sauce to
schnitzel. Can’t say I noticed the cheese, I’m not sure that swiss cheese
really belongs on a German schnitzel anyway?!
Obviously
the main attraction here is the wonderful topping flavours but it’s also worth
noting that the schnitzel was a good thickness, cooked well and succulent. As
well as the schnitzel and topping, for $12 you also get fries (chunky variety)
and coleslaw (possibly homemade?). It was a decent feed. Probably my only
complaint was that the meal was warm, not hot, like it had been sitting there
for a while before it reached me. Probably a reflection on how busy they were
more than anything.
Overall the
sauerkraut, Jäger sauce and schnitzel combined perfectly to make for one
delicious meal with generous sides. Will definitely go back and try the other 4
flavours.
