Brotzeit German Bier Bar & Restaurant

Another post that's been brewing in my draft folder.  I'm actually a month behind and this should have been posted during the hype of Transformers. Hubby and I watched it in the morning at Vivo City around 10:30 so it's just nice to grab a bite to eat after the movie.   


We decided to try Bronzeit,  it's our first time dining there so you can imagine my excitement.  It was crowded when we came and we're lucky to get a table.  I love the contemporary vibe!  Floor to ceiling windows, lots of light, German inspired wooden tables & benches, a long wooden beer bar which serves German beers of course. You can also dine in al fresco just a few feet away from the sea.

Hubby & I are not beer drinkers (well I do drink once in a blue moon) so we focused more on what's on the food menu. They serve the widest selection of pure German beers in Singapore by the way.


Here's what we feast on...
Schweinshanx or Pork Knuckle - Crispy hind shank of grain fed pork served with potato salad, sauerkraut with brown sauce on the side.
Here's a close-up...I'm actually drooling now just looking at it.  I will definitely come back just to eat this.  The skin is crispy and the meat is moist and tender.  I love the sauerkraut and they are not stingy with it.  
You know when your hubby loves you...he gives you the best part!
We have to try some German sausages so, we ordered an appetiser of Kasekrainer or Mini Pork Cheese Sausages.  Not your ordinary cheese sausage it's juicy (juice just oozed out on every bite), crunchy and not too cheesy.   They also serve sausage platters as a meal that comes with sauerkraut and potato salad.  
Now this one is extra special because it's really, really good!  Kalbsramgulasch or Veal Goulash - Traditional braised veal shank "Goulash" in paprika sauce with butter spatzle.  The meat just melts in your mouth, it's so tender and the sauce is just amazingly yummy.  
Spatzle is a Bavarian specialty.  They are like little dumplings which made of flour, eggs & salt.  Some add cheese & parsley to it but traditionally they just pan fried the dumplings with butter and served as a side dish.
We wanted to try the other dishes in the menu but we'll just keep that in mind until our next visit.  Im sure the Wiener Schnitzel and Apple Strudel can wait.
