Brotzeit @ East Coast Road

Ever since I've been to Brotzeit the other day, I've been craving to try their Brotzeitplatte which includes their famed pork knuckle. There has to be a reason that almost every other table orders the pork knuckle right? For those who don't know, the Brotzeitplatte features a pork knuckle, 2 pieces of pork schnitzel, and a selection of their sausages. The greens are more for presentation's sake, but they do come with whole pickles which help to break the monotony of the taste of the meat. As for the sauces, there is your staple ketchup, mustard and sweet mustard (I enjoyed this the most, especially with the schnitzel). There is also a sauce that is heated up specifically for the pork knuckle which makes it much more moist. The platter makes for a very good instagram picture, especially when it's served on a slab of polished wood. In addition, there is a choice of 2 sides from the extensive range of sides available in the menu to accompany the platter. Although they recommend it for 4-5 people, I would say that it would feed 4 comfortably, whereas for 5 people more definitely needs to be ordered.

Full view of the Brotzeitplatte

The Pork Schnitzel comes in a rather generous portion, but is rather underwhelming in my opinion. Not sure if this is meant to make the pork knuckle much tastier in comparison or... In any case, the pork is nicely battered but is way too dry and bland. There was nothing really special about the schnitzel. I would have to say that the saving grace of the schnitzel is when it is taken together with beer. On hindsight, I would probably order the Pork Knuckle ala carte the next round to avoid having to eat the schnitzel.

Close up of the Pork Knuckle and Sausages

The Pork Knuckle is easily the star of the platter, because it has the most distinctive taste. I would recommend scraping away the fats as it can get a bit nauseating to keep eating the fats with the pork. However, I would still eat the crispy skin together with the meat and perhaps abit of fat. That, in my opinion, is the optimal way to enjoy the pork knuckle. Of course, you need to dip into the sauce so that it becomes both warm and moist with every mouthful. 

The selection of sausages allows you to try a bit of each of their sausages. In a nutshell, all of the sausages are good, and it all boils down to the individual which one you like best. They include cheese, pork, and chicken sausages. Personally I found the larger sausages to be more juicy and the texture of these sausages was also better. The spicy sausages might be too spicy for some, but like I said, it's good to have a variant of flavours to avoid being sian of just eating a platterful of meat. 

Now, on to the sides that I chose.

Napkin Dumplings
The napkin dumplings are made of eggs, flour, milk and some other ingredients. They don't really have a distinctive flavour, but its a good alternative to having all the other potato-based sides to go with every main. Definitely worth a try, although I would probably order something else on my next visit.


Roast Potatoes
A staple that you can't go wrong with. The potatoes were well seasoned and roasted, and the roast onions were a welcome surprise. The potatoes were also not too salty which make them suitable to be eaten with the meat platter.

Winter Beer
Glad to see this is still around, but not sure for how long. A friend that frequents Brotzeit says that they usually will carry on with a particular brew as long as there is demand for it, and they'll slowly phase it out over time. I hope that this is still around on my next visit though!


The Brotzeitplatte is what I believe to be the most value-for-money dish on the Brotzeit menu when they are not having any other promotions. It's also a good and safe order for those visiting Brotzeit for the first time. However, I'll be sticking the to pork knuckle and sausages for future visits.

Dean and Deluca @ Orchard Central


Many people have walked around Orchard Central and it would be almost impossible to miss Dean and Deluca, which took up the space left vacant by Gelare Cafe. The cafe space is ever-changing due to accommodate the retail section of Dean and Deluca, but for the better as the seating spaces have increased. I like to be nearer to the counter rather than at the far end nearer to their delicatessen. The place is usually noisy and full of people around brunch time, and it only really frees up around 2pm. This is in spite of the 37% user review reflected on hungrygowhere. Given it's location, I would say it's a nice place for friends to meet as the high (or lack of) an immediate ceiling means that the place feels spacious. The seats are also adequately spaced so that one can have his or her own private conversations. I like to drop by to just get a few muffins for breakfast the next day as they are cheap and good ($3.50 for a very filling and wholesome muffin). Their regular mains are good, but not extremely so. Their drinks are rather underwhelming as well,  and perhaps this is why they've garnered such low ratings. This is because their prices aren't exactly for the budget-conscious. Therefore, I don't usually go for their mains but I usually like to custom my meals ala carte as I get what I want at a slightly cheaper price.

Pan-seared Salmon steak, Herb Mixed Vegetables
Normal-tasting salmon that is a little on the dry side. Needed much more of the lemon butter sauce but couldn't get more. The more fatty parts of the salmon tasted good though, and they're pretty stingy with the greens. I ordered mixed herb vegetables which included beetroot, pumpkin and potatoes to accompany this dish so I managed to get this combination for under $15.



Angus Beef Bulgogi Aglio Olio Linguine
Extremely tasty and it only costs $13.50. You're unlikely to get this deal at the moment, but one can always hope. I got this under the "Pasta of the Week" promotion, which recently increased their price to $14 for the week's pasta. Not sure if this promotion is still ungoing though, but it was certainly good over the weeks when it lasted. The linguine was adequately tasty and not too oily, which I enjoyed. The angus beef was also very flavourful and slightly spicy. The portion was also enough to satisfy me, and it's certainly a steal for the price.


Spicy Marinara with Soft Shell Crab
Another one of my catches during the promotion! The pasta here is definitely more moist due to the tomato base sauce. I liked the taste of the herbs they used to season the pasta, and the mashed tomatoes were good. There was a decent portion of soft shell crab, which was nicely battered. However, the crab was a little cold by the time I ate it, but it was still tasty nonetheless. It tastes better on its own and just perhaps with a dash of the tomato or tabasco sauce. Otherwise, the batter will turn soggy and the crab won't be as pleasant-tasting.


Boston Shrimp and Avocado Sandwich
Another budget alternative, one can always try the Chef Special that is slightly cheaper than their all-day breakfast mains. However, the quality of the chef's special changes and it really depends on the individual if you want to go for it. Here, the sweet taste of the shrimp bathed in a light mayo sauce tasted great. The avocado was fresh and sweet too, and hence it provided a nice texture to the sandwich on a whole. There is a sizable portion of a side salad, and potato chips that go well with the BBQ sauce that they provide. Or you could be like me and have chips drizzled with Tabasco sauce. Not the most orthodox way of eating it but oh well.


Portobello Cheese Burger
Angus beef steak, with porotbello mushrooms (obviously, lol!), gouda cheese, tomato and lettuce. The bread patties simply cannot contain the burger, which is almost certain to fall apart when you try to eat it. The beef patty is good, definitely very tasty and juicy. Only eat this if you do like beef, as the taste can be a bit strong. The lettuce and tomatoes are normal, but sufficiently fresh. The gouda cheese is a good alternative and goes well with the burger on a whole, and having just the portobello mushrooms with the gouda cheese is pretty heavenly. Their serving of fries is quite large, so it might take a while for you to finish it. That being said, the burger isn't that filling on its own. Have this with the BBQ sauce that they provide at the counter. However, it was slightly expensive in my opinion for a burger.



Chicken bacon and Apricot Roll
Another one of my budget selections! This is pretty filling on its own, and it wasn't as dry as I had expected it to be. The chicken bacon is extremely tasty, and goes well with the flaky pastry of the roll. The apricot flavour is nice too, and the sesame seeds help to make the roll more fragrant overall.


The New Yorker
One of Dean and Deluca's signatures, I had high hopes for this, especially since I was paying $25 for it. Scrambled eggs and smoked salmon in a sesame-seed bagel accompanied by a vine-ripened tomato. Although I wasn't disappointed by the dish's taste and appearance, the price was rather high. For the same price, I would have gotten much larger servings and better service at Wild Honey. The smoked salmon had a strong smoked flavour which was enjoyable, but the slices were bordering on stingy. The scrambled eggs were good, and so was the freshly-baked bagel. However, this dish is certainly not filling because of it's small size. I would have liked another vine-ripened tomato too because mine was a little small for me. 


The verdict for Dean and Deluca? I would say that it's a nice place to start your day for brunch, and perhaps for their stack of pancakes which look delicious. I wouldn't come here specifically for their drinks or for their food though. Definitely a bit overpriced for its quality. If you don't mind experimenting with their ala carte dishes, you probably can come up with something nice and value-for-money. This is because I find their normal menu much nicer than that of their all-day breakfast. However, with it's location at Orchard and the relative ease of getting a seat, it's definitely a good place (for larger groups especially) to meet up. I would recommend, however, their baked goods such as muffins and cakes, especially for a takeaway.

Expect to pay: $20-30

Odeon Beef Noodle @ Food Republic Wisma Atria


Just a short post to promote my favourite beef noodle. Take note that this probably isn't the original because they have a whole slew of franchisees, but I find this to be one of the better ones. This is primarily for convenience as I am in Orchard much more than other places. This  costs $6 currently for the whole set including the beef soup with beef balls at Food Republic's Wisma outlet. I used to eat this when it was located at the basement of the current Scott's Square, years before their overhaul. What makes me like this version of beed noodles so much is its gravy. Sure, it's starchy, but just the right amount and is extremely flavourful. The beef soup is also AWESOME, but I would take it dry as the soup doesn't taste as good when you order their beef noodles in soup. The cook here is rather generous with the beef slices, which are well done. Like I mentioned earlier, this isn't the original so the sauces aren't as nice as I remember them to be, but they're better than average. Do give this a try the next time you're at Food Republic Wisma Atria

Expect to pay: $6 onwards

Nam Nam Noodle Bar @ Suntec City

What's better than the satisfaction of find a new place to eat that's good? Well, that it's wallet-friendly. I paid a visit to Nam Nam Noodle Bar after much coaxing from my friend who said that she absolutely loved it. Hence I decided to meet one of my schoolmates for lunch here. There was a steady stream of people queuing up for the food, and the probable reason is that good-quality Vietnamese food is being sold at reasonable prices. I spent about 15 minutes in the queue which personally I deem to be negligible. Seating is allocated when you reach the counter, and you are given seat numbers. The bar tables also come with little hooks beneath the marble table for ladies to hang their handbags which I found to be thoughtful. Throughout the visit, a video documenting food in the streets of Vietnam was shown, but sadly people were too engrossed in their own conversations or busy eating to pay much heed to the video. Still, the ambiance here is decent especially after lunch hours when it starts to quiten down a bit. The lanterns certainly add to the charm of the restaurant, and there is a variety of sauces at each table (I didn't photograph this as I was sharing a common table) which you can add to your choice of lunch.



So I mentioned earlier that the food here was cheap. This can be attributed to 2 reasons - there is no service charge! and GST is already included in the price they charge so you can pretty much say that it's nett. Their ala carte prices are generally $8 for pho (noodles), and even cheaper for their Banh Mi (sandwiches). What made my visit better was that they had this lunch set which costs $9.90. Called the Saigon Street Favourite set, it has Fresh southern rolls with sweet shrimps, egg and fresh herbs. You can choose either chicken or beef pho, and the meal is completed with either a classic iced coffee with condensed milk or an iced lotus tea. For this outing, I also ordered their daily special, the Sweet Potato Net Rolls.

Sliced Beef Pho
Vietnamese Noodle Soup with beef slices. As you can see, they added chilli and lime to the broth, which gave it an oriental flavour. The beef slices were also tasty and not too chewy, and I enjoyed the noodles as I personally have a soft spot for kway teow. Overall, the soup was not really spicy, making it suitable for those who don't really like to eat/are unable to take too much spicy food. Furthermore, you can take out the lime if you don't want the soup too taste too sour. However, this is definitely more mild as compared to Thai food.


Fresh southern rolls with sweet shrimps, egg and fresh herbs
For me, the best things about the rolls was the peanut sauce that came with it. The sauce isn't spicy and is sweet, making this dish suitable even as a dessert. This is because the rolls themselves are not exactly flavourful, and the dish would have been underwhelming if not for the sauce. There were also fried shallots in the sauce which varied the textures in the rolls by adding crispiness to it. 


Daily Special: Sweet Potato Net Roll (2 pcs for $2.90)
I'll be honest and say that I didn't even check how many pieces of sweet potato roll I would get for one serving, but although the portions were slightly smaller than what I would have liked, I would have to say the rolls were good. I felt that the icing was unnecessary as the sweet potato was already quite sweet on its own, but the sweet potato tasted average otherwise in general. I might want to try some other dessert on a future visit.


Iced Coffee with Condensed Milk
Your typical kopitam kopi, I wasn't expecting much from this drink. However, the coffee flavour was stronger than I was preparing myself for, and even when the ice melted a little over time it did not become too diluted for enjoyment. 


It certainly has been fulfilling for me to try out Nam Nam so long after they have opened, as I usually have my Vietnamese food at Food Republic. Even then, I usually stick to having rice over noodles. For those people who haven't tried it before, I would strongly suggest you make a trip down to one of their 3 outlets (especially before they increase their prices). If you're looking into having an Asian or Oriental alternative to Western food in Singapore, it's certainly a plausible option as compared to other Thai joints such as ThaiExpress. They also have a breakfast set which promotes their Banh Mi. 

Expect to pay: $10-15

Hawker Spotlight: Toa Payoh Rojak @ Old Airport Road Food Centre


Rojak stalls in Singapore are everywhere, but I only eat the rojak from one place on a regular basis, and that's the one at Old Airport Road Food Centre. It's name? Toa Payoh Rojak.

I've been patronising this stall for a good number of years now, and their stream of patrons have always bene constant. You have to take a queue number first, and subsequently you make your order when your number is called. Hence you could say it's like any other numbering system you would expect to find in hospitals, clinics or the like. The stall is usually manned by the old man and his wife, as well as his son-in-law. There is a slight difference in how the rojak made by each individual comes out, but more on that later. 

A key selling point in the stall's fame is the shrimp sauce that is used in the rojak, but from what I have observed, it isn't handmade, but rather ordered by the tin. The secret to the sauce includes more sugar, with lime and lemongrass added to the sauce. There is also a secret ingredient that is usually stored in a porcelain mug which I believe is one of the reasons this rojak is arguably one of the best in Singapore. I usually have mine without the chili, but adding a bit of chili allows you to enjoy the dish while still finishing up the shrimp sauce. Personally, I will always just eat the shrimp sauce as it is with the peanuts. 

My recommendation is to have the rojak at the food centre itself, as the dough fritters (you tiao) are hand toasted before they are mixed in the wooden bowl. My only grouse is that they could add more bits of jellyfish strips (a $3 serving entitles you to only one piece of jellyfish) so that more people can try its flavour with the shrimp paste. Overall, the dish is rather sweet, which can make one slightly thirsty after consuming it, but the flavours are all well-balanced as you would expect of in a rojak dish. This is one of the dishes I have each time I go to Old Airport Road Food Centre for a meal when they are open. Highly Recommended.

Expect to pay: $3-5 (a $3 serving will serve 2-3)

On a side note, Toa Payoh Rojak is often confused with the one at Toa Payoh HDB Hub (Soon Heng Silver Stream Rojak). I've tried it before and it doesn't even hold a candle to this one. Perhaps the only reason you would patronise that stall is that the portions are bigger. But I'm never one to compromise on quality for quantity.

Tim Ho Wan 添好運 @ Plaza Singapura

My friend Derrick messaged me immediately upon seeing my photos stream on to Instagram and Facebook, and he asked me if it was worth the wait to get into Tim Ho Wan. I suppose this post is to answer his question more comprehensively. It came as a surprise to most that I had not tried Tim Ho Wan although it has opened its doors in Singapore for close to a year already. Tim Ho Wan's philosophy is to provide Michelin-star level food available for the masses, and hence I was having high expectations already. Furthermore, the average waiting time that I gathered from friends was around an hour. By this time, the crowds had died down a little and I managed to get my table in about 30 minutes. You can get one person to queue first, but in the end the whole party must be present before your seats will be allocated. Thankfully I got my seat at a less crowded part of the restaurant. Otherwise, it can get a little uncomfortable when you have to fight for your own personal space. Don't expect the ambiance you would find in other Dimsum places such as Crystal Jade and Canton Paradise, for you find that you would not want to sit and chat with friends here for a long period. Seriously, just eat and find some place else after that. I attribute this opinion to the level of noise, the length of the queue outside and the overall personal space that one gets while eating here.

Just a heads up, the 4 Heavenly Kings (aiya, just say must try la) are the Baked Bun with BBQ Pork, Vermicelli Roll with Pig's Liver, Steamed Egg Cake and Pan Fried Carrot Cake. 

 Photos below are taken from my Instagram account. (choccroissant)

Baked bun with BBQ Pork. (3pcs for $4.50). 
Just looks so pretty in a 3x3 doesn't it. Well they're certainly tastier than they look. 


Here we can have a look inside the bun. As you can see, the Char Siew filling is moist with a little bit of fatty meat. Overall the flavour is fantastic, although some people find the filling to be a bit too sweet. For me, it was just at the right level, and the buns are best eaten hot. They certainly trump those served at Crystal Jade. However, they can be rather filling. I would recommend for a serving of 2 buns per person, in order to try out the other dishes on the menu. 


Congee with Lean pork, Salted egg and Century Egg ($4.20). 
I would say this congee is one of the smoother congees that I've tasted, although I find it similar to the one served at Canton Paradise. However, the dish does not disappoint as there are a lot of ingredients to go with the congee. The bowl is of a medium size, so I would say it's a little on the heavy side for light eaters, and hence I would recommend that a bowl be ordered if you eat a fair bit, and ideally 3 people could share 2 bowls to make room for later.


Glutinous Rice Dumpling ($5)
I was initially relucant to order the dumpling, but since I saw almost every other table ordering it, I caved in under pressure. This is definitely a dish to be shared, and I found it quite heavy. Refer to the next picture!


Yup so here we have a close up on what's inside the dumpling. I would say that the lotus leaf makes the dish extremely fragrant. The dish overall was not really outstanding, given the fact that the rice and the meat tasted rather normal. Still, I would order this on a repeat visit. 


Pan Fried Carrot Cake (3 pcs for $4.50)
So we move on to the next of the 4 Heavenly Kings. I love the cantonese version of carrot cake, and hence this dish was a real treat. The cake was well fried, with just the right amount of charring. The carrot cake was extremely soft and melted in your mouth. However, I would have preferred it to be a little saltier as it tasted a little flat. However, this problem can be solved by pairing this dish with the Chilli Bean sauce available at the table. (Incidentally, the chilli sauce tastes almost exactly the same as the one at Canton Paradise, wonder if it's commercial.)


Steamed Prawn Dumpling (4pcs for $5.50)
What was outstanding about this dish was the distinct quality of its shrimp. It was extremely fresh and you could taste this in every bite. The skin was also of the right thickness, which pleased me because I get annoyed with dumplings that have skin that is too thick. This dish goes well with the above-mentioned Chilli bean sauce.


Vermicelli Roll with Pig's Liver ($5.50)
The 3rd of the Big 4 Heavenly Kings. The texture of the Vermicelli Roll, or chee cheong fun was great, as it was smooth and melted in your mouth. The skin was thinner than that of the Prawn Dumpling mentioned above, and hence it was super satisfying. However, this dish was let down by the Pig's Liver. Although I am not a huge fan of pig's liver, the liver was obviously overcooked and hence it had a rubbery taste in addition to having the strong smell that I am not particularly fond of. The redeeming factor was the sauce, which made it much more bearable. Hence, I would recommend this dish only to those who like Pig's Liver. Otherwise, you should stick to the Vermicelli Rolls with either BBQ Pork or Prawns (all $5.50).


Steamed Pork Dumpling with Shrimp (4 for $5)
SIEW MAI <3. The wolfberries on the top of the pork dumplings add a nice touch to the dumplings that already taste great. I am rather particular about the thickness of the skin as mentioned above, and hence Tim Ho Wan managed to deliver in terms of consistently ensuring that the skin was not too thick. That being said, I tasted more pork filling than shrimp, but it was satisfying nonetheless. 


Steamed Beancurd Skin Roll with Pork and Shrimp (3pcs for $4)

This was just another one of those dishes that I ordered for the sake of trying. Unlike the Siew Mai mentioned above, I was able to taste the shrimp properly in this dish. The beancurd skin was pleasantly sweet, and the sauce made this dish even tastier. I would say that this is better than average, but not exceptional.


Steamed Beef Ball with Beancurd Skin (3pcs for $4.20)

As you can see in the picture below, there is barely any beancurd skin to speak of. Not sure if this is supposed to be the case but oh well. A strong beef taste will linger in your mouth so only order this if you do like beef. I did not enjoy this dish as much as I had expected, and the inside of the ball tasted a bit raw. Again, whether this is intentional I do not know.


Steamed Egg Cake ($3.80)

This has to be the highlight of the trip to Tim Ho Wan. Whilst the BBQ Pork Bun earlier was way better than average, I would have to say that the steamed egg cake, or malay cake sets the new standard for such cakes here. It's definitely one of the more pricey items on the menu, but hey, with every single bite comes pure bliss. The taste of the cake was reminiscent of Gula Melaka, or palm sugar, but it was not too sweet. This is another dish best eaten hot but will probably do well cooled down as well. 


Tim Ho Wan has recently opened its 3rd outlet in Westgate, in addition to its existing outlets at Plaza Singapura and Toa Payoh. So effectively everywhere except the east has a Tim Ho Wan restaurant already. Hence there is no excuse not to give it a try, with the Big 4 Heavenly Kings definitely being the ones to go for. However, like I found out, there were a couple other dishes that would undoubtedly satisfy the palate.

Expect to pay: $25 for a good meal

Joe & Dough @ Milennia Walk

Run out of places to meet up in town but don't want to burn a hole in your wallet? One of the good places to go to is Joe & Dough. The last time I checked, they have a lunch tea set where you can get any sliced cake or pastry paired with any drink for $8. It used to be $6.80 but prices have gone up since then. I used to patronize the outlet outside Carrefour in Suntec City, but the area is now closed and undergoing renovations. Instead I now go to their outlet on the 2nd floor of Milennia Walk. Love the ambiance there due to it being quiet and you can really have a good conversation here. Even if you come at hours where you are unable to enjoy the promotion, their drinks and pastries are still reasonably priced. Furthermore, their coffee is much nicer than other commericalised cafes such as Starbucks and Coffee Bean.


Their Signature Valrhona Chocolate Cake. Goes well with anything (since I love chocolate anyway), although it might be a tad bit dry, depending on when you actually go there and how fresh the stock is. 


Prune Cheesecake. Moist cheesecake that does not feel too rich or heavy, and the prunes accentuate the flavour of the cake.  


Cafe Latte. Your daily cuppa, made from coffee beans that are ground upon order. You don't have to wait long for this, as the barista usually does a swift yet good job when making your order. 


Didn't get any pictures of their cold drinks here, but their iced coffees are generally good, with my personal favourite being the iced mocha. Do note the opening hours of the various outlets before you pay them a visit as they do close quite early for some outlets. 

Exepct to pay: $5-10 a person, depending on how much you order.

Brotzeit @ 313 Somerset

To celebrate a birthday of a friend of mine, the group of us decided to head over to Brotzeit @ 313 for a meal. We decided to try the Christmas offering of  Weihnachtspfandl, or the  Festive Christmas Pan (for 4 to 5 people). According to the menu, it boasts honey glazed roast duck, roast turkey breast stuffed with baby spinach and napkin dumpling served with duck confit, brezn sticks, sauteed parsnip, beetroot, pumpkin and slow cooked baby potatoes ($98++). We had a hard time deciding on this over the Brotzeitplatte ($88++), but in the end the food did not disappoint. I found the brezn sticks to be abit too tough for my liking, but it was complemented well with the duck confit which was delicious. The roast turkey breast wasn't much to shout about either, which made the star of the dish the honey glazed roast duck. 


My friend Beng Teong (pictured below)'s recommendation was the Fladen Speck, or the Bacon Pizza. Although it does not seem exceptional, the bacon slices paired with the cheese made this one of my favourite pizzas that I have eaten to date. 


To end the meal, we decided to try out 2 of Brotzeit's beers, the Weissbier (malt beer, with hint of banana, 5.5% Alcohol) as well as the Christmas offering, the Weihnachtsbier (winter beer, fruity note). Personally I liked that Winter beer much more as it was much stronger than its counterpart. Also, its fruity flavour was more noticable than that of the Weissbier.


I'll definitely be coming back to Brotzeit to try their Schweinshaxn (Pork Knuckle) when time permits. Definitely a good place for meeting up with friends as it has both good food and drinks. 

Expect to pay: $30-50 per pax, depending on drinks.
