Brotzeit Restaurant

Its Food Review time again.

Where: Brotzeit Restaurant
Location: 252 North Bridge Road, #01-17 Raffles City Shopping Centre, Singapore 179103
Ambience

Went there at 5:00 pm last Saturday have to leave to somewhere else by 6 + pm so had an early dinner. The place is located at one corner of Raffles City. It’s a German restaurant, quite small with large wooden tables and large wooden benches (no back rest). It was 5 so it is still quite bright with Lush 99.5 playing in the background, there are a few tables of Ang Mo there chucking down beer (heard the beers are really good, I dunno, I dun drink). They have 2 sections, open air and dine in (but no difference on the furniture). Pick a sit at the corner next to the beer cellar and made myself comfortable.

Service

The place is filled with Fillipino waiters and waitress. Open the menu, damn COOL!! The name of the dish and beers are names you can’t even pronounce (What do you expect it is a German restaurant -_- )… but lucky the description is in English. Not long after we sat down the waitress wanted to take my order, she speaks really well (Like Dahzle), but I haven’t made up my mind yet, I think she thought we were there to have a drink. It was early so I ask them if they are ready to serve dinner dishes, then the staff says they have to check, after she check, she told me they are ready to serve dinner.. Then I also notice that the glass walls are actually partitions, they can actually open them up and make it look like those provision shop where there are no doors (Personally I feel it is a bad idea, they do not have air curtains, so the aircon will surely condensate).. My GF told me the Roast Pork Knuckle is Fantastic (that’s why we came here) so I ordered the Roast Pork Knuckle and Smoked sausages (not cigar ar), with two glass of Ice water (I dun drink alcohol). The food came promptly..

Food

The Roast Pork Knuckle came with some funny side dishes, pickles, some sour white veggie, weird tasting smash potatoes and some green… Nonetheless it look really enticing (the presentation is good). The sausages came with the sour white veggie and weird tasting smash potatoes. There a couple of sauces, one of them for the Pork Knuckle and some chili, mustard and an unknown good tasting sauce for the sausages. The sausages taste quite good, the way it should taste, nothing fancy. The pork knuckle is really fat and oily and REALLY YUMMY!! Both dishes are really good, but the side dishes are not so good, which really took the credit away.. While I was fighting my way through the pork knuckle, I drank a lot of water.. but the waiter never took the initiatives to refill them :( until I ask them to do so (Yes, minus marks again).

Payment

After I am done with my food, I ask for the bill, it cost $62+ (Above average damage, anyway it was my GF Treat :) ).

Off topic: I met Yumi and another Japanese Native there.. They were drinking beer and chatting..

Overall 0-10 (10 being the best)

Ambience: 7 (weird choice of furniture and the partition thingy hmm…. And I heard they change to some loud music later in the evening..)

Service: 5 (no initiatives, but still not that bad that I will fail them)

Food: 7.5 (Main Dish Superd!! Side Dishes hmm.. )

Damage: 6 (quite damaging)

Return value: 8.75 (will go back there for the pork knuckle)

Toilet: 6 (Average, gents has a bull on the door, ladies… I dun remember)
