I met up with xinyun beforehand though, because I'm shy like that :) When we arrived at the place, xinyun's bionic eyes found DK even before I could scan the whole place. She even said "Nicole's sitting beside him" and I didn't even see anybody looking like either DK or Nicole.
Anyway I found them finally, sitting in a secluded corner (*wink wink*).
Pretty soon, we got down to ordering the food. Now, this place is a German joint, so the menu items had German names. Needless to say I couldn't pronounce three-quarters of the names on the menu, much less have an idea of what's in them. I just decided to get sausages and pointed randomly to an item on the menu to the waitress. DK, xinyun and Nicole had something called "Pork Knuckles".
Here's a shot of the dish, courtesy of xinyun using my camera :) If you think it's big, you are right. It's positively HUGE!
Xizor was seated next to xinyun and this is what he had:
Here's a 2nd shot from another angle:
Yeah those are Xizor's hands attacking the sausages :)
When my order finally came, what I had ordered was actually this:
Remember, I had no idea what I ordered, and when it came, I had a slight feeling of being let-down. Xinyun's ter kah looked so big and juicy, and mine looked pathetic. Just 3 sausages floating in water, and a bagel.
Surprisingly though, what I ordered was good, and pretty filling. Didn't really leave me craving for more food after I was done with it. Xinyun was very generous though - she kept giving me and Xizor small portions of her ter kah asking us to try it. I must say, it was indeed tasty!
Everyone then ordered their Oktoberfest beers, except me. I just had iced coffee. Yeah I know, although I am classified as a "drinker", I don't drink beer (except for Kilkenny or Hoe Gaarden). Beer makes me feel full and burp constantly which I hate.
Brotzeit is a nice enough place, but I doubt I'll ever go in there alone, or on my own at least. No, it's not that the food isn't good. In fact the food was more than satisfactory. What will be stopping me is that the menu items were all unpronounceable to me :) Full, authentic German names.
