German Terka


We spotted it the last time went to United Squares for the gathering... YL recalled she tried one while at Sydney... So, we thought, no harm trying.
Yes, it's the pig knuckle! What? Ok, it's the pig trotter - putting it across more plainly. What's so attractive? Not really, I think... except that it came across as a German dish. I remember LC mentioned about this the other time we met.
How it's cooked? It's roasted... with crispy skin (like roasted pig) while the meat like those steamed/boiled. One thing missing from this dish, chestnuts! OK... other than this, it's no different from any typical chinese dish... It's the first time I enjoyed the 'skin' that much... however, it's such a big serving... ok, enough for the time being...
