pork shanks

We finally went to Elmars in the Valley for a meal today. We've heard lots of good things about this place and their famous pork shanks. So with visitors from over seas and a group of friends, we made our tracks to the Swan Valley to show how we live it up in Perth.

Because it was a big group of people, we did a big order and shared everything. Starting with our entree.


Elmars tasting plate - cheese, pate, olives, and a range of german sausages - all Elmars of course YUMMY!


garlic cheese bread - soooo good!


chicken ceasar salad - our token green thing amongst all the meat!



and this was our mains! the famous pork shank with fried potatoes, saurkraut and mustard.
The pork is pickled then oven roasted till the meat is juicy and tender on the inside with beautiful crunchy crackling skin outside. Was soooo good... we are taking all our over seas and inter state guests here next time. Just make sure you leave room for desserts ...because we didn't and i regret it.

a very fappy ms clio :o)

note: 1 serve of pork shank can feed 2 - 3 normal people
you've been warned!
