and Thailand (1); and on the way to grow their presence in China,
Indonesia and Australia.

This outlet in Katong has
been in our mind for the past few times. Every time we passed by East
Coast Road or Joo Chiat Road, always remind ourself that we need to
try this place. So finally, we made it. Located in the junction of
Joo Chiat Road and East Coast Road, this place sure attracts a lot of
human traffic. The only draw back is that there is no parking
available on the premises, so you need to park at the surroundings,
that can be a challenge during the weekend.

| Seating Area - 4 Seater |
There are two main
seating area, the bar or the high chairs section with live sports
shown on TV or a more proper dining area. The atmosphere is very
relax and casual. The design are modern, while incorporating the wood
elements into it.

For this dinner, we
decided to drag S (Little Devil's BFF) along as she need to get away
from home. Anyway, the more the merrier. Since we order to share, we
ask them serve the food together. From the appetizer section we have:
Schupfnudeln / Warm Spinach Salad with Bavarian Potato Dumpling
($14.50). A good salad to start. It is lightly seasoned and has a
clean taste to it. It incorporated some stronger flavour such as sun
dried tomatoes, parmesan cheese and balsamic vinegar. The potato
dumpling is unique, which not to my preference.

Two signatures of
Bavarian dishes: Schweinshaxn / Oven Roasted Pork Knuckle ($36.00)
and Pork Sausage, with a twist of curry sauce / Currywurst ($17.50).
The Pork Knuckle is excellent, served with potato salad, sauerkraut,
gherkin and homemade sauce on the side. The crackling is light and
crispy, and the meat is tender and juicy. Sauerkraut and gherkin
works provide the acidity that balance the fattiness in the knuckle,
while the fried onion on top of the potato salad is simply delicious.
The gravy is tasty and thick. Yummy !!

For the Currywurst, I
need to rename it Curryworst. The worst dish of the day. The pork
sausage is good, but spoiled by the curry. Although it is suppose to
be the number one German Fast food, we find the curry powder and
mustard on the dish simply does not work. This is comparable to the
disastrous Singapore Fried Bee Hoon that you can find any Asian food
court in Australia.

Schweinemedaillons / Pork
Medallions ($29.50) is a dish that you must try. As the medallion
does not have much fats, they wrapped the sides with bacon to ensure
the tenderness remain. Perfectly executed and served with shoe string
fries and sautéed mixed vegetables. How I wish they are more
medallions.

Service is good when you
can get their attention, but it can be frustrating trying to get
their attention. You can see that they are short staffed, and having
problems attending to the customers.
Overall, Brotzeit got our
vote. The food are good, with the exception of the Curryworst (@
Currywurst). Unfortunately we are a group of non-alcoholic drinkers,
so we can't comment on the beer. We'll sure be back for more.
Prost!!! Cheers!!!
