German Pork Knuckle @ Brotzeit Somerset


Garden Salad
Mixed salad with vine ripened tomatoes, potato salad, carrot, boiled eggs, sweet corn and cucumbers tossed with house dressing. The acidic dressing did an appetizing role.

Pork Curry Sausages
The sausage topped with tomato-based sauce and garnished some curry powder sided with potato wedges was palatable and the sweetened taste doesn't really to my liking.

Pork Knuckle
Crispy hind shank of grain fedpork served with potato salad, sauerkraut (braised sauteed cabbage), and homemade sauce on the side. The mea was juicy and tender,while the skin was very crispy. The portion was definitely huge and great for sharing.

 Besides of nice food, i also keen with great scenic and nice environment when comes to dining experience. Level 33@ Marina Bay Financial Centre attracts my attention because of its huge brewery. It claims to be World's Highest Urban Craft Brewery with one of the best view's of Singapore Marina Bay and city skyline. 

  
There is a direct elevator at ground floor to Level 33 rooftop of MBFC.

You will be impressed with this huge brewery tankers once you step out from the lift.

Advance booking is advisable because it's always FULL HOUSE! You can make reservation thru their website or chope.com.sg

Can you see the huge beer tanks?? When I see this, it triggered my memories when I was in Perth for my convocation. I did visit Little Creature Brewery in Fermantle, one of the best beer I've tried so far.

After 8pm 0.3litre $12.33, 0.5litre $17.33

We ordered a portion of fat chips which ideally goes well with beer. The chips sprinkles with salt and pepper but we dont really like it as it's kinda soft and not crispy.

Seafood Medley $45 (for 2 pax sharing)
It served with mixed of pickles, marinated, smoked and cured seafood with caper berries, lemon, sauce tartar, and smoked salt.
Very generous portion and definitely enough for 2 pax sharing. Very well compliment with chilled beer.
