Eat, Drink & Be Merry...

Haven't written for long, because by the time I reached home (whether early or late), I'd have been so zombie-fied that all I want to/can do is to squeeze myself into a snug corner of the comfy sofa & stone, or unpack myself onto soft bed and zoom straight to la-la land. Perhaps, it's been too long since my last lesson with the kiddos, and I've forgotten just how energetic they can get. =P Or perhaps, it's all that preparations for this upcoming BIG event in institution. *good luck to us*

Anyways, managed to chill out at 2 new places recently - Ice Cold Beer (@ Emerald Hill area) and Brauhaus (@ United Square). [Fish, don't scold - I really only imbibe a small bottle, and will burn off all the unhealthy alcohol this long hari raya weekend]

Ice Cold Beer was only so-so. Noisy with lots of foreign expats. A bit too 'artificial' for me. Remembered wondering if it would end up being the target for some T-attack. The beer list wasn't super extensive either, so I guess unless you are near Centrepoint and want to try out places other than Alley Bar etc, it may be an option.


The 3 beers we tried

Brauhaus was great. Now, this is where you get a mind-blowing, eye-boggling beer list that stretched for 2 A5 pages, listed in alphabetical order, according to country's origin. Solid. I haven't seen up to 99% of them offered elsewhere. The food range, though comparatively less exhaustive, is still satisfying. Food was good - especially the sausages!! Juicy, bouncy, flavorful, very yummy! The pork knuckles though, can do better as the sides were a little tough. But the skin was crackling crisp, so that helped made up. Atmosphere at Brauhaus was cosy and rowdy in a safe sense, with live 80's music belted out by two 50+yrs matured men. =) A mix of expats, young working adults, and families patronize the restaurant-pub. Nice.

Half-eaten yummy sausages


Half a pork knuckle - enough to share

Ok, today will be a "go easy on the liver and stomach" day. I'd do my exercise and hopefully get some tan back again. You take care, and if in the mood for some german fare, can check out Brauhaus, or Baden (@ Holland V) or Brotzeit (@ Vivo City). All's good.
