No stranger to Brotzeit's delicious German food and beers over the years (review here), my interest was inevitably piqued when I spotted them serving Hot Mulled Red Wine for Christmas. So I rounded up 3 favorite persons there for our monthly catching up.

Some Fries (SGD$8.00) to munch on, while waiting for 2 of them to show up. The saltish fried were piping hot and crispy, went really well with our beers.

The Christmas Duo Platter (SGD$58.00) comprised tender, soft  off-the-rack-easily slow-braised Veal Shank bathed in dark jus.

The Pork Belly Roulade came in 3 big discs, and skin was crackling the way we liked it. This was infused with Winter time herbs and slow roasted. Beneath all that were truffle mashed potato, zucchini and brussels sprouts. They serve this dish with a Beer Sauce.

Hot Mulled Red Wine (SGD$12.00) was served steamy hot rimmed with sugar crystals; a sweet and decadent indulgence - we ended up having 2-3 glasses each.

I also indulged in my favorite beer here, Schwarzer.   It is currently off the menu, but ask any staff and they will happily concoct it for you. The combination of fizzy sweet Coke and light, cool, smooth beer was pure palate pampering.
