Mother's Day makan



As with every mother's day, we will bring mom for a makan treat. For this year, she had a craving for German fare and we brought her back to Brozeit at Vivocity.We started the meal with two different soups - Soup of the Day ( Mushroom soup) and French Onion Soup.

Both Gayle and myself really liked the French Onion soup with it's sweet and rich onion soup and generous serving of cheese dumplings within the soup. Since all of us are fans of German sausages, we ordered quite a bit of the sausages as the main course - Nurnberger pork sausages and the Wurstelplatte - sausage platter for 2 featuring juicy and meaty platter of spicy chicken sausages, pork sausages, pork cheese sausages and garlic pork sausages accompanied by sauerkraut and mustard.






To complete the meal, we ordered Schweinshaxn - crispy pork knuckles(above). Highly recommended if you are in the mood for meaty stuff. Just be careful when cutting into or biting into the sausages as they are so juicy and bursting with richness.


To round off a balanced meal, we ordered the Meeresfruchtesalat seafood salad(above) with mixed vegtables crowned with seared tuna, smoked salmon, fresh prawns accompanied with sour cream and house salad dressing which added zest to the salad dish.

After our heart meal, we introduced mom to the wonderful fruit tarts at Fruit Paradise - the Fruit Tart shop located at vivocity too. We will let the pictures do the talking but our favorite was the grapefruit orange tart which was refreshing and juicy to the bite which accompanied the tart crust very well and also the strawberry nutty caramel, sinfully rich,sweet and addictive.
