The woman behind the delectable German taste is no other than Riza Santiago who grew up in Germany. Her love for food and her desire to share German flavor in the Philippines made her decide to venture the food industry.

FOODFINDS ASIA had the privilege to try their German-inspired street food menu.

The first on our list is their Currywurst, a tasty pork bratwurst, served whole or slicedOne of the most popular street foods of all times, it’s topped with a tasty pork bratwurst, served whole or sliced with Currysauce or Curryketchup and an extra dusting of curry powder. Curry ketchup may sound weird here in the Philippines but it is a very popular dip in Germany. Do not miss the chance to both the spicy and the sweet one.
