"A great substitute On my last night in Germany I was looking forward to a heavy Bratwurst type of a meal, but my wife wasn't feeling tip top and wanted soup, so we ended up at Cha Cha. Was I disappointed? Initially I was, but we are a team and you don't always get what you want. I came up with my choice, a rice and pork dish with pieces of pineapple called Gebratener Thai-Eirreis mit Ananas und Schweinefilet. That took about 20 minutes. When I was finally able to start eating it was really very good. There was a nice blend of flavors and I particularly liked it when I ran across a piece of pineapple. Normally I would have drowned a dish like this with soy sauce but there was none on the table. Instead, the dish came with a couple of lime slices, and they added even more fresh flavor. I have to admit, this was a great substitute to the meal I had initially wanted. It says something when a restaurant can change your mind. Service was not so much quick as abrupt. Take the order and gone. A food runner drops off drinks and later, food. Time to pay the bill, done and gone. Not unlike what I have found at other places during my couple of weeks in Europe, but certainly different than the glad to see you more informal approach restaurants take in the US. Part of the fun of visiting other parts of the world is discovering things that are similar, and things that are different than home. It was a great holiday."
