Hi all!
Brotzeit is a popular German food restaurant in Singapore and I finally got a chance toย savourย the famous Pork Knuckle in this restaurant. My family and I made our way down to the outlet at Raffles City and every table is taken except for one last one! This restaurant sure is crowded and luckily we managed to have a seat without any reservations. Reservations is highly recommend during weekends and even on Friday nights.
What’s German food without beer? I checked out the meaning of the name Brotzeit, andย “Brotzeitยฎ” is a typical Bavarian expression โ “Brot” being German for bread and “Zeit” for time, referring to a cozy meal complemented by fresh beer.

Right: Original Mรผnchner Lager
Dunkle Hefe has much more taste than Mรผnchner Lagerbut it’s not like I am an expert in tasting beer so my description for these two beers is that much. Ah well, who cares, it’s alcohol!
Hmmm…the oh so famous Pork Knuckle, $36. Every German restaurant (at least in Singapore here) has porkย knuckleย in their menu.
The skin is baked to a realย crunchyย crispย and the meat is juicy and definitely not too dry. Every bite is really refreshing. First you have the crunch and the juice from the meat startย oozingย out from every bite. We needed four mouths to finish this meat!
Nurnberger / Grill porkย sausagesย
I find this dish pretty average. How I rate my food is if I can make them at home, then yes I find these dishes average. The sausages are pretty standard porkย sausagesย which I canย probablyย buy from Cold Storage or The Market Place. Nothing too special, just plain average. The Sauerkraut that were beingย servedย as a side dish is refreshing though. In fact, I think I ate more mash potato and the sauerkraut than theย sausages.
Kalbsrahmgulasch / Veal Goulash
Well-braised veal, that goes well with the Paprika sauce! This is one of my favourite and I want to go back for more! I a girl who loves her meat (and vegetables, I am not all carnivore). This dish is a dish that I dream of waking up to everyday. If the meat is just a little tad juicy, it would be PERFECT!
Theย buttered Spรคtzleย as the side dish is a little too dry in my opinion. Well, all I need is to drizzle it with the paprika sauce that I fell in love with.
Kรคsepรคtzle / Cheese Spรคtzle
As if the butteredย Spรคtzle above is not enough, my brother ordered another dish ofย Spรคtzle but with cheese. If you have an empty stomach, I say go for it. If not, beware! Our stomachs were bursting and this creamy cheesy goodness is not helping. The cheese and cream may be a little plain overall but if you are a cheese lover, I would say that you will enjoy your first few bites. After which, it would be too filling and may be a little too plain. I think this would be best if the portion is much much smaller, more like an appetizer or a side dish.

I wore this outfit to the restaurant for a quick dinner with my family!

Dress: XOXO, Esmรฉe (http://xoxo-esmee.livejournal.com)
Purchased the crochet tee from The Editor’s Market online store. It’s called the Crochet Blouse online –ย http://www.theeditorsmarket.com/product_detail.php?id=2335.ย Definitely pricey at $39 but I needed a lace tee for layering purposes. Matched the crochet top with my floral tank dress.
Liking how theย additionย of the belt gives the bottom of the tee a teeny tinyย peplumย effect. Well,the belt helps to accentuate the waist.
Love theย intricateย lace details of the top.ย The tee is not too tight at all and have quite a lot of free room for much movement.
Thanks for reading ~
