German Lunch (Again!) at Brotzeit

Yup, we went back to Brotzeit, Vivocity again for lunch. Haha. Last Saturday, when we were there, we didn't order the pork knuckle. So this week, we decided to go back to try out the dish.

The girls' father ordered the pork knuckle ($32.90) which came with potato salad and sauerkraut. The pork knuckle was roasted to perfection! The crackling was really crispy and the fat underneath it was, well, fatty and chewy. Together, the crackling and the fat made the most perfect combination! One bite, you think you are in heaven. The pork itself was most tender and juicy. Ah... think of the salad scene from " When Harry met Sally", but substitute it with pork knuckle instead, lol. The pork knuckle was simply perfect and went really well with sauerkraut and the potato salad (which was came with vinegar dressing). Still lua nua-ing just thinking about it. The portion was quite big too, no problem sharing it with two persons, especially if one of them is a small eater. :)


I thought I better order something lighter since there is going to be the pork knuckle. I had Petersfisch ($19.90): grilled Atlantic dory fillet topped with garlic butter, served with wild mushroom sauce and potato wedges. The dory was nicely grilled and tasted good with the garlic butter melting over it, and combined it with the mushroom sauce (which was almost as good as being a side dish on its own), perfection. The girls shared my dory. Not bad, they know good food when they see it, lol.


For the girls, they shared the chicken fingers ($9.90) again and Tagessuppe ($7.90): Soup of the day Mushroom. The mushroom soup was really good - rich, of a thick consistency and full of mushroom bits. (No picture of chicken fingers as it was posted on 8 December 2007.)


We were so full at the end of the meal that we didn't even have room for dessert which was very, very RARE for us, lol. It meant that the lunch was really great. :)


We had a walk around Vivocity to work off the heavy lunch we had. We had tea at Pacific Coffee Company. The girls had their vanilla and blueberry gelato and their father, a mango juice. I tried out the Ginger Ginseng tea since I already had Mint tea at Brotzeit. Hmm, tasted the ginger but not much of ginseng, haha. We also shared an Apple Crumble. Yes, we did have our sweets in the end, lol.
