Open for a couple of years now, Una's franchise on Broadway still generously serves the classic (and gigantic) schnitzel that the other franchises have been serving for over 30 years. They're served in 7 different ways, and all come with rösti (an amazingly rich and hearty potato dish which is browned and crisp on the top) and a side dish of cabbage salad.
On this particular night, I was in need of serious comfort food, so found myself digging into a home-style lemonade and the Swiss bratswurst (sausage) with sauerkraut (a sour cabbage dish) and my favourite rösti.
The lemonade was a perfect mixture of lemon juice, sugar and water. It quenched my thirst in time for the swift arrival of a towering plate of Swiss bratwurst which balanced on top of a heap of tangy sauerkraut and buttery rösti. The serving sizes at Una's has never been short of a home-cooked feast and luckily, the low prices mean it's guaranteed value for money.
Zen opted for the hot pot which consisted of 3 varieties of sausages, sauerkraut and a huge potato dumpling. He demolished it in no time, although leaving a big proportion of the dumpling which he said was rather cold. I suppose the crockery was more of a serving plate than cooking device because there was no way anything in the heavy cast iron pot could've stayed cold.
Nonetheless, we've been regulars of Una's old fashioned food and hand painted wood decor and like usual, our stomachs were cheerfully satisfied.
