As it was father's day and our dad's birthday over the weekend, Gayle's sister and us took dad and mom to Brotzeit for some German fare for lunch. Gayle's sister's friend also joined us.
It's always good to go in with an empty stomach so that you can truly salivate over the generous portions. At the same of course, pair your meal with some good German beer.
We ordered the first dish of a Würstelplatteauthentic sausage platter(below) with spicy chicken sausage, lamb sausage, mini pork cheese sausages, weisswurst sausage and garlic sausage with sauerkraut.
The sausages were meaty and frangrant, one bite into it and you can just feel the minced meat inside releasing the aromas of the herbs, cheese and spices.
The second dish ordered was the Fischplatteseafood platter(above) with smoked salmon, marinated tuna, marinated prawns, white anchovies and crab salad with a basket of selected German breads. The prawns were just so fresh and juicy and the marinated tuna had that has a sweet tangy taste. The fragrant German breads were abit on the firm side but goes well with a spread of the white anchovies and crab salad. The third dish we ordered was Leberkäse grilled pork meat loaf with roasted potatoes and creamed spinach. (Below)
To me, this was a scaled up version of our traditional luncheon meat but of course,much more fragrant and freshly minced. The creamed spinach was a good complement to the meat.
To add some salad to this meaty combination, we ordered the Obatzdatypical Bavarian crème cheese(above) served with onions, cucumbers and tomatoes alongside a basket of selected German breads(below).
For those who are into cheese, this will be heavenly to you. But non cheese lovers can also appreciate this dish as it is not too overpowering. To round up the meal, Gayle's sister and friend ordered three desserts to share. The first was Brotzeit's signature dessert known as the Chef's creation (below), a connoction of homemade vanilla ice cream drizzled with pumpkin seed oil topped with almond flakes.
A unique combination which is quite refreshing and the sweetness of the ice cream blends well with the fragrance of the pumpkin seed oil.
Second dessert of the day was the Kaiserschmarren shredded pancake(above) with rum and raisins served with plum sauce(below) on the side.
This is quite a rich dessert so it's good to share. Of course, we also ordered beers and apple juices to finish off the meal. Indeed a delicious and well spread meal with beers and well worth the price which came to about 28+ a person. There is also a 10% discount on food only offered by Citibank, AMEX and UOB.
