German Concordia Club: Hot Love, Tempe (3 April 2010)

Hot Love found in Tempe

The last time I visited the Concordia Club they were out of 'Hot Love' — the dessert that is. But this time around I was in luck to try. I thought it would be served in a bowl or plate but it finally in a large glass filled with Warm Cherries over Vanilla Ice Cream & cream ($6.50). Enough to share between two unless you're in need of a lot of hot love just for yourself. I also had the Weiner Schnitzel with Chips and Salad ($18) which was nice although keep in mind it's just a small side of salad on the plate and I would have liked the chips to be a bit more crispy too.

Other visits to Concordia Club:

SNAPSHOT REVIEW:

PROS: Reasonable prices, Plenty of seating and parking, German beers on tap

Concordia Club: German Pork Knuckle and Deep Fried Camembert, Tempe (25 Oct 2009)

‘Hot Love’ in German Club

When I think German I think pork knuckle and thankfully it's on the specials menu to try. There's a fair bit of crackling on it but I'm always looking for more. It's a generous size of meat presented with a knife which becomes a challenge to finish — probably because I ate too many yummy Deep Fried Camembert which are ever so bad for you. Our dining party were keen for some 'Hot Love' on the dessert menu (warm cherries over ice cream and cream) but unfortunately was sold out for the day. So we had to be satisfied with the free retro looking German romance novels translated from the likes of Mills & Boon. Somehow I don't think the German Concordia Club has changed much over the years but for authentic beers, friendly service and affordable German food it seems to be a good place to appreciate the culture.
