Authentic Bavarian cuisine @ Brotzeit German Bier Bar & Restaurant, Mid Valley



When it comes to western cuisines of European continent, Italian & French cuisines are perhaps a rather popular selection for most people, what comes after would probably be Spanish & Mediterranean dishes. Whereas for German cuisine, it is constantly getting hammered along with British food due to the lack in variety & culinary culture. Well Brotzeit German Bier Bar & Restaurant, a wonderful restaurant that I've recently visited (a Nuffnang tastebuddies food tasting session ^^) will be a perfect restaurant to disprove those critics on German food.

Brotzeit @ Lot G (E) – 018, Ground External Floor Mid Valley City.
Being a highly successful Singapore based brand conceived in 2006, this is a restaurant which serves authentic Bavarian cuisine and world famous quality German beers in a chic and contemporary setting.

Brotzeit interior & environment :)

Contemporary German design with a balanced use of Wood and Leather.


What most people doesn’t realize is that on the contrary of those pre-conception, German cuisine possess a greater variation than what you might think. Simply check out >Brotzeit’s menu here< for verification :P .. Also over time they have evolved from a conventional practice with distinct emphasis on beer, marinated meats & sour flavors to a rather rich culinary expression. In simple words, German cuisine isn’t as bad as most people thought, just check out what we had during our Nuffnang tastebuddies Brotzeit food tasting session & I’m sure you’ll agree with what I’ve said.  ^^

Brotzeitflade Speck/ Bacon Pizza: Tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, bacon, onions, vine ripened tomatoes and chili.
Though chili padi isn't something commonly seen on pizza, surprisingly it blend in well :)


Biermischgetränke/beer mixes (Left to right): Schwarzer, Russ'n, Affensaft, Churchill, Bayrischer Longdrink & Radler. Personal favor: Bayrischer Longdrink & Mango Affensaft b^^d


Salat mit Schafskase/ Feta Salad: Mixed salad with feta cheese, red bell peppers, semi-dried tomatoes, onions, olives, garlic croutons and sour cream tossed with house dressing.


Main course of the day: Special Brotzeit® Oktoberfest Platter: Brotzeit’s signature pork knuckle, lumberjack steaks, garlic pork sausages, oven roasted chicken and gipsy bacon. (suitable among 5-6 person)


Some close up shots of the gigantic drooling platter :P The great tasty German sausage is my favourite, crispy casing with chewy cylindrical pork meat taste heavenly. The gipsy bacon is nice, a little trick to make it even better, wrap some onion within before you eat. b^^d


*click to enlarge* 

It's a pleasure to have Brotzeit’s native Bavarian Executive Chef, Mr. Helmut Murmann serving us the specially crafted platter. ^^


Side dishes of Oktoberfest Platter: Sauerkraut(top) and potato salad. 


Kaiserchmarren/ Emperor's Cake: Shredded pancake with rum and raisin served with plum sauce.
An all time favourite among ladies according to Chef Helmut. The soft texture, sweet delicated buttery flavour with slight taste of rum is simply irresistible.  


Bavarian Orange Trifle: Refreshing layers of triple sec of rum and orange infused sponge fingers and fresh cream.
My personal favourite due to the rich sensation, dip you spoon in deep to savour the wonderful combination of smooth bavarian orange cream & crumbly sponge fingers. ^^ 


Profiterole Duet: Chocolate profiterole with vanilla ice cream and cinnamon sugar apple fritter on vanilla sauce.


Sweet & Savoury Duo: Crispy chocolate bacon on white chocolate mousse with lemon pepper marinated strawberries and apricot sauce.


Upcoming Event:

In conjunction with the upcoming Oktoberfest which will officially commence on the 21st September, Brotzeit German Bier Bar & Restaurant’s flagship outlet at Mid Valley will observe this tradition by having its very own official tapping of the first Oktoberfest bier barrel, customers of Brotzeit will be one of the first to savor this year’s brew on tap from Paulaner and by bottle from Hacker Pschorr (two of the six official Oktoberfest bier breweries) while enjoying Special Brotzeit® Oktoberfest Platter crafted exclusively by Brotzeit’s native Bavarian Executive Chef, Helmut Murmann. The delightful platter will be available from 21st September to 31st October 2013 so remember to mark your calendar nicely ^^
