Sushi

Eat like there’s no one watching

Another huge advantage to ordering your meal and tucking into it within the boundaries of your own home: You can be as messy if you like! You can enjoy the ultimate luxury of eating in your bed, without ever touching a pan. In this case we recommend scooping your dish onto a plate, unless if you don’t mind sleeping under bedcovers full of red curry stains. In case you do want to keep it clean – perhaps you’re dining in with a love interest and would prefer not to come across like a 5-year old -, here are the dishes to definitely avoid:

1. Spaghetti

 

There’s no shame in not knowing how to transport a fork full of spaghetti into your mouth without spilling sauce all over yourself: It is so much of an art that youtube is plastered with spaghetti eating tutorials. Whether you go the traditional way of rolling the pasta onto your fork with a spoon to assist, or impatiently cut it into little bits, unless you have undergone years of extensive training you will fail to look charming whilst gorging down your Arabiata. And you probably won’t look as cute as this one here:

2. Sushi

Firstly there is the skill of using chopsticks to tackle. For some of you this may have been an easy nut to crack, for the motorically-challenged however this is not to be underestimated. Generally a simple maki can easily fit in the mouth, but the larger Inside Outs or Futo Tempura’s (you know, those superyummy deepfried ones!) are very hard to  chew and swallow. Famous sushi chef Jiro (recommended movie: Jiro dreams of sushi!) has realised and has reduced the size of his sushi for the ladies. Since he has not opened his take away service in Berlin yet, we will have to keep chewing with our mouths open.

Some good news, it seems that in the western world we have been a bit too hard on ourselves when it comes with sushi-etiquette. For instance, when eating the larger Nigiri, it is totally okay to use your hands!

3. Pizza

Drippy cheese, tomato sauce and loose toppings: Pizza carries all the hallmarks of a messy meal. Of course, you could cut each slice in tiny bite-sized bits, but who really does that when no one is watching…?

The art of ordering the perfect delivery food for every occasion

… cause it’s not as simple as one might think! There is a perfect cuisine for each occasion. After months of research and countless pasta’s, maki’s, cheeseburgers, chop suey’s and curries (we have tried it all!) we are proud to present to you this handy guide to delivery food: What To Order When?

1. Dinner with friends

If you’re planning a big dinner with a larger group of friends, there’s a few things you want to take into account: There might be some dietary restrictions (vegetarian, vegan, lactose free anybody?), and you probably don’t want to spend the next day washing a bunch of dishes. The answer? Finger food! You can go for the traditional burger-cuisine and order a wealth of delicious mozzarella sticks, chicken wings and country potatoes, or go a bit more exotic and treat your friends to some indian pakoras, samosas, naan & bhatura. We have it all!

2.  Lazy Sunday

For some reason we forget every week that most supermarkets are closed on Sundays and find ourselves stuck with an empty fridge. Hungr to the rescue! Since Sundays often coincide with hangover days or cheat days, we would suggest a good old cheesy pizza. Nothing as wholesome as gorging down a delicious carb bomb and watching some Netflix (just a suggestion).

3. Working lunch

Sometimes you’re a bit too busy to go out for lunch, or maybe you overslept and need to catch up on your workload. Whatever the reason may be: Sushi is the answer. It’s already cold (big bonus, since annoying work tasks might distract you from your meal) and it’s nice and light, so you don’t have to deal with a food coma afterwards.

Berghain Food Experience – Europe’s best party!

In the “poor but sexy” capital of cool, countless young dancers get ready for their dreamed party at the Berghain.

We all have read about articles on how to get into this club and we all have heard stories related to this “Berlin To Do List” moment.

At Hungr we believe that the waiting and the preparation is as important as the experience itself. So let’s make sure to find the sweet spot for a perfect night out.

  1. Make sure you are in a party mood. Start listening to good music and feel free to warm up your body. Move and get the blood start dancing with you. Soundcloud is a great tool to discover new versions and remix of the songs you love.
  2. Get friends you can go party with. Invite 3 or 4 friends at home…take the initiative don’t wait for them to send you a Whatsapp message. Make sure you get a proper french “Apéro” and start sharing positive vibes together. Laugh and enjoy their company.
  3. Pick an outfit that you feel comfortable with. Our research on the internet suggest to get a proper outfit for Bergain. At Hungr we believe that be confident and comfortable is the best way to look awesome. Fake people always smells bad.
  4. Get a proper meal before to go out. You have been dancing at home already, your energies are low. You are going to stay awake until tomorrow morning. Your crew is with you at home, sharing meal with good friends is a memory that you are going to bring with you forever. Often we don’t have enough food in our fridge and the best way to go over it is ordering food online. Finally do the queue in the cold its not the best way to keep your good time going.

Here’s the news! Hungr finally solved this problem.
Pick your dishes first and we propose you a list of restaurants that are happy to deliver your order.

Throwback Thursday: The true story about the only sushi restaurant in communist DDR (that also had a Onsen style bathhouse!)

The Japanese furo bath was a mini sensation in East Germany. Before guests at the Suhl restaurant “Waffenschmied” (Armory) sat down to a far-eastern banquet, men and women stripped off and took to the pleasantly warm water together. The traditional ritual cleansing of body and soul, helped along by a few glasses of the local tipple, meant that workers were quickly able to forget the humdrum realities of life in the Communist state.

A film, “Sushi in Suhl”, tells the story of Waffenschmied and Rolf, played by Uwe Steimle. “This is Rolf Anschütz how we remember him”, “a wonderful memorial for a man who brought fame to our town”, said glowing attendees at the premiere. In the same vein as “Goodbye, Lenin!”, this film takes a comical look behind the wall, exploring life in a society that suffered a shortage of almost everything, from freedom of opinion to daily necessities.

But the fall of the Berlin Wall led to the demise of Anschütz’s dream. Its popularity had had much to do with its exclusivity, but once the world opened to East Germans, the town of Suhl and Anschütz’s restaurant were largely forgotten.The film’s success has ignited a wave of nostalgia for the restaurant, spawning a Facebook page where former diners have posted their photographs and memories and “Rolf Anschütz” walking tours of Suhl by kimono-clad guides. A blue plaque was recently erected on the site where the now derelict restaurant stands.



You can buy the DVD here and the Blu-Ray here.

And you can now order fresh sushi in all of Berlin via the Hungr app.

Sushi Saturday: You have heard of rolling sushi, but what about floating sushi!?

Osaka is known throughout Japan for being a foodie’s paradise. The area has such a focus on food and dining and has given birth to so many well-known dishes that there’s even a famous saying: Kyo no kidaore, Osaka no kuidaore, meaning “Dress up till you drop in Kyoto, eat till you drop in Osaka”.

This October, the city will be showing us just how much their food culture means to them, with a giant floating sushi train carrying plates of gigantic sushi up and down the river, and we’re taking a sneak peek at video and photos of the trial run!


You can order your own sushi via the Hungr app (but we won’t guarantee that it comes floating).
