In the German restaurant in Beijing, "Schindler" is a weighty name. In 1989, Steffen Schindler came to Beijing to take up a military post in the East German embassy, a year after the fall of the Berlin Wall and the GDR ceased to exist a year later. Unemployed, Steffen Schindler decided to stay in Beijing and enter the food industry, and opened two restaurants named after himself in the Sanlitun Embassy District and the Ritan Road Embassy District, known for their classic German flavors, and entertainment stars such as Li Jian, Yu Quan, Liu Huan, Li Ming, and Ren Dahua have visited. The menu at Schendeler's is quite extensive, with a focus on German home-cooked cuisine and a fusion of German specialties. For example, cheese, egg cake, liver and blood sausage, braised pork loin, etc., are all traditional German home-cooked dishes. Cheese (fleischkäse) is a common meat staple in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, made from ground pork, beef, onions and other spices and baked into a patty, which is then fried in a pan as is common in German breweries. Cheese is similar to a sausage, with a relatively fluffy texture and a strong meaty flavor, and is served with fried eggs, bread, or fried potato chips, making it a relatively modest main dish. Pan-fried pork loin with German noodles, German noodles have a coarse taste, rich cheese aroma, rich sauce, unique flavor but relatively greasy. Pork tenderloin strips, farmhouse omelets, beef rolls, etc., are also worth trying. Naturally, there is no shortage of classic German pork knuckles, and you can choose between salt-soaked pork knuckles or roasted pork knuckles, which are the flavors of northern and southern Germany respectively. Due to the marinating, the meat taste is salty, the taste is bright, and the texture of the boiled pork knuckle is also soft. Roasting pork elbow is a common practice in southern Bavaria, where the skin is charred and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. However, the sauerkraut served with pork knuckle in the restaurant is slightly sour, and the taste is a little too stiff. There are many types of German sausages in Schindler, and there are also many fried and grilled meats, and many people can choose meat platters. The beer in the restaurant is not self-brewed, but imported German industrial beers, including Erdinger, Schneider, Schöffhoff, Missionary, Weisen, Mengshi, etc., all of which are relatively famous German beer brands. Steffen Schindler, the owner of Schendler's restaurant, has his own meat processing plant, which processes meat in the same way as German meat products are made and supplies it to his own restaurant. Schindler's food company is also a meat supplier to several German restaurants in Beijing, which shows its strength and influence. It is worth mentioning that Schindler's food company has a German food supermarket on the North Road of the Agricultural Exhibition Center, which sells German baking, meat and dairy products, including locally produced German meat products and imported German sausages, which is the source of ingredients for many Germans living in Beijing. At present, there are two German restaurants with the name "Schindler", namely Schindlers Tankstelle and Schindlers Anlegestelle. Located in the embassy district on Ritan Road, the Schindler petrol station features a cellar-like design, with curved masonry vaults and bulky stone walls that create a retro medieval fort atmosphere. Located in the Sanlitun Embassy District, the Schendeler Wharf is decorated with a large number of pier elements such as fishing nets, fishing lights, rudder and ship models. Both restaurants are cramped and have a noisy atmosphere. The restaurant has a lunch buffet at noon, 88 yuan per person, and the cost performance is acceptable.
