German Lunch at Brotzeit

We went to Vivocity for lunch. Before that, we went to Esprit because there is 20% off for Esprit card holders, lol. Gosh, I think I started the girls young on shopping, lol. The girls actually picked out the outfits that they wanted to try. In the end, we each had 4 outfits to try out in the fitting rooms. Between the three of us, we settled on 8 outfits, all paid for by the girls' father, haha. Consider it early Christmas presents?! Lol.

We needed to have a quick lunch because Marieann had to attend a birthday party at 2pm. We wanted to go to our favourite haunt, Carduroy Cafe but it was closed for a private party. We settled on Brotzeit, German Bier Bar & Restaurant which was a few doors away.

We ordered a Platter for 2 ($29.90): Würstelplatte - authentic sausage platter with spicy chicken sausage, chicken and pork cheese cracker sausages, weisswurst sausage and garlic sausage with sauerkraut, horseradish and mustard. The portion was just right for two adults. The sausages were really nice and tasty, not too oily, and went really well with the mustard. I personally preferred the sweet mustard while the girls' father preferred the hot mustard.


Marieann was craving for pancakes so she had Kaiserschmarren ($9.50) from the Desserts! It was shredded pancake with plum sauce which came separate in a wine glass. The pancake is different from the usual pancake we are used to. It is like potato dumpling but made from flour. No, it tasted good, just with the custard sauce and icing sugar dribbled over the pancake. Together with the plum sauce, it was fantastic. :) Ok, it's me here with my sweet tooth, lol.


Juliane had her Hühnerhavn ($9.50): chicken fingers from the Finger food. I was surprised as it was actually breaded chicken strips, not the usual processed chicken meat product. Am really impressed and the girls both liked it. (Yes, Juliane shared some chicken fingers with Marieann.)
We also ordered a side dish: Brotkorb - basket of bread ($5.80) which went well on its own with butter, and with the sausages and sauerkraut, lol.




It was a good and sumptuous lunch. We were all smiles at the end of it!
