The various Mastercard surprise menus at Jalin (Spoiler alert!)
Jalin Restaurant has come up with something very special for you as a Mastercard customer and Jalin guest during the month of July. Here's what you'll receive: from July 1st to July 31st, 2025 Three different versions of a Mastercard menu, created exclusively for the campaign, are offered for you to choose from. You decide whether you prefer one during your stay. Meat, fish or vegetarian enjoys and books accordingly „"Modern Bavarian Touch"“, the „Asia Fusion by Jalin“ or that „"Vegetarian & Elegant"“-Menu. Each menu includes three different courses, as well as a bottle of water and a drink of your choice – depending on the menu option.
The „Modern Bavarian Touch“ menu (72 euros per person) This menu consists of a "Steamed Appetizer Selection" with six different dumplings and two dips (appetizer), "Argentine Pepper Beef Entrécote" with stir-fried vegetables, sesame seeds, sweet basil, chili, and black pepper sauce as the main course, and mochi ice cream for dessert. A 0.2l glass of your choice of white or red wine is included with this menu.
Those who prefer fish should order this. „Asia Fusion by Jalin“ menu (70 euros per person) Guests can look forward to a signature cocktail of their choice and three delicious courses. The meal begins with a "homemade Gua Bao"—a type of steamed bun (bao burger) with duck, cucumber, basil, and hoisin sauce—followed by the main course of "shrimp with basil, pepperoni, and stir-fried vegetables." For dessert, there's a fantastic sampler of mochi, sorbet, honey-cinnamon banana, and mixed fruit—perfect for sharing as a finale.
Each menu also includes a signature cocktail or wine.
Prefer a meat-free option? – The vegetarian menu („Vegetarian & Elegant“ – 65 euros per person) This should appeal to those of you who eat neither meat nor fish. The signature drink, "Hallo Jalin," is served in glasses; on the plates are three completely vegetarian dishes. The appetizer is a delight: "Cashew Avocado with Beetroot"—a salad with onions, bean sprouts, fresh herbs, avocado, beetroot, and cashew nuts; followed by delicately seasoned "Tofu with Coconut Sauce" with coconut strips, bird's eye chili, vegetables, and avocado in a mild coconut-lemony sauce. The dessert is very popular in Vietnam: "Mango Sticky Rice," a traditional Southeast Asian dessert made with sticky rice, fresh mango, and coconut milk—one of my favorite Asian desserts.
My companion and I deliberately chose two different menus, which you can, of course, do as well. We each had the meat menu and the fish menu. I generally recommend trying as many different dishes as possible. That's why we usually share everything that arrives at the table. At Jalin, and especially with the Mastercard menus in July, this worked wonderfully. Besides my "Asia Fusion by Jalin" menu with shrimp, I also enjoyed delicious dumplings and was able to try the succulent and tender entrecote. Delicious! For dessert, my companion's mochi ice cream was added to my dessert sampler, and we shared a generously filled and very sweet sharing platter.
You can decide spontaneously which menu you choose and whether you'd like to share and sample dishes with your table companions after the friendly team has shown you to your table. (I love corner tables that offer a wide view of the very open-plan restaurant and bar.) The all-Vietnamese service team is happy to assist you with your selection. The same applies if you're unsure which signature cocktail or wine would best suit your taste and the menu. We ordered a Mai Tai and a glass of red wine to start (included in the menu) and then a classic Negroni and a Jalin Martini (not included).
