| Spargel Im Speckmantel - Bacon-wrapped White Asparagus |
Winter has passed and Spring is
here. Once again Brotzeit presents the classic Bavarian favourites, White
Asparagus, also known as Germany’s “White Gold”. As one of the most treasured
vegetables, white asparagus sure has a special place on Bavarian’s table.
 |
| White Asparagus Celebration at Brotzeit |
Brotzeit honour this tradition and
curated 7 types of white asparagus dishes, starting from appetizers to
desserts.
 |
| White Asparagus |
Spargelsuppe
- White Asparagus Cream Soup ($9). The soup is thick
and creamy, almost bisque-like. Each slurp of the soup you can taste the crunchy
white asparagus bits, gammon ham followed with a hint of bitterness at the end.
It is served with fresh bake brown bread, that proves to be a good companion for
the soup.

Spargel Im
Speckmantel - Bacon-wrapped
White Asparagus ($9). The white asparagus is wrapped in bacon, giving it a
nice salty and crunchy flavour when you bite into it. It is served with pine
nuts, cherry tomatoes and wild rocket salad topped with balsamic vinegar. I was
surprised by the sweetness of the white asparagus seems to double when it touches
the balsamic vinegar. Yummy.

Der
Spargel-Klassiker - Classic
White Asparagus ($28). One of the traditional ways of serving white
asparagus in Germany together with parsley potato and hollandaise sauce. I can
actually taste the crunchiness of the white asparagus, on top of the rich
hollandaise sauce. Overall, this dish is on the mild side. There is an option
to serve with brown butter, I think this might spark up this dish more.

Another
dish that represent the German celebratory spirit for their white asparagus
harvest is Spargelplatte – White
Asparagus Platter ($79). Consist of 400
grams of white asparagus in hollandaise sauce, served with black forest and gammon ham, smoked
salmon, poached eggs and soft parsley potatoes.

The way to eat it is to pour the
hollandaise sauce on the white asparagus, add the poached eggs and mash it up. The
combination of the oozing egg yolks and hollandaise sauce seems to pump up the
richness in this dish. Added to that mixture, the salty umami flavour from the
smoked salmon, black forest and gammon ham, the sweetness of the white
asparagus truly shines. This is definitely my pick for white asparagus dish
here.

Spargel Mit
Barramundi - White Asparagus
with Pan Seared Barramundi ($32). The seafood version of Der
Spargel-Klassiker. Nicely pan seared Singapore’s barramundi fillet, resulting
in a crispy skin and firm yet flaky flesh. On top of the traditional
hollandaise sauce, it also comes with a light flavour herb garlic butter.

Spargel Mit
Rinderfilet - White
Asparagus with Grilled Beef Tenderloin ($39). The meat version of Der
Spargel-Klassiker. The beef tenderloin is nicely grilled to medium rare,
resulting in a meaty, tender and succulent steak that is nice to chew. This
dish also served with strong flavour herb garlic butter, which is suitable for
the steak instead of fish. I actually like this version of herb garlic butter
as it also goes well with the white asparagus.

For dessert, Zitronen
Käse Creme Mit Spargel - Deconstructed Lemon Cheese
Tart ($10). I enjoy the combination of velvety lemon cream cheese mixed
with the crumble base. The sourness from the raspberry balance the richness of
the cream cheese, while mild bitter wild asparagus texture adds to the texture
and flavour. A good ending to the meal.

White asparagus pairs
delightfully with Hügel Weisser Burgunder (Wittmann Pinot Blanc). With every white asparagus dish
ordered, diners can enjoy a glass for $10 (usual price $14; $58 for a bottle).
Or you can still have it with the craft beer available in Brotzeit.

Overall, it was definitely a
gastronomic white asparagus delight to savour all the 7 types of white
asparagus dishes. Luckily, we were given the tasting platter. A gastronomic
event that you must savour.
Thank you very much to Weandme
team and Brotzeit team for the tasting invitation.
