Auf Wiedersehen!
I’ve been visiting Delicateseen
Corner since the 1980s at first only rarely then more
often and now regularly, my Sunday sanctuary and where I treat my friends. May 25 is the last day of its
operation!
Styled
after the wood panelled
taverns in Europe, Delicatessen Corner provides a warm and rustic
atmosphere. The quality of the German
and Austrian dishes featured is always reliable. The service is
excellent and I know the waiters and waitresses by their first names. They know
the dishes well and remind you not to order too much because the portions
served are really generous. When I dine with my mom there, we usually order our
favourite mushroom soups followed by the fish and the sausages or the knuckles.
Each time we cannot finish the two main courses and have to take away the
leftovers which become my packed lunch the next day! But my full stomach always
has room for the German cheese cake complimented by double espresso.
I love the food, the service and the ambience of
Delicatessen Corner. After May 25, where am I to go at 2pm on Sunday after my
indulgence routine? I am missing it already. I have made reservations for both
lunch and dinner on that last evening. I will surely take photos with those
courteous young men and women who have served me so well for so long. I wish
them all the best in their career.
You know what has this restaurant
succumbed to? A monthly rent of $1.3 million! A chain store selling second-hand
handbags is to be opened!
