October is an exciting month for me not only because it is my birth month, but it is also because it is a month of festivity called Oktoberfest. Since this celebration originated in Germany, there couldn't be apt way to celebrate it than to visit your favorite German restaurant wherever you are and partake with the feast. In my case, it's the Oktoberfest at Brotzeit German Bier Bar and Restaurant.
Our visit at Brotzeit in Edsa Shangri-la Mall to join them in the kick off of their Oktoberfest at Brotzeit celebration prompted us with an awesome night filled with good food, great beer, and a fun experience in general. This month long festivity isn't just reserved for those who were present during its launching because rest assured, the whole month of October is made extra special for everyone.
In line with this celebration, Brotzeit will be giving away Limited Edition Brotzeit Oktoberfest T-shirt and an Original Paulaner Beer Stein to the first 200 guests that can present Php8,000 worth of accumulated receipts at Brotzeit. This promo started last October 1st up to the 31st.
The kick off happened the same day when I had to attend two food fair events in a row and while I was dead tired from all the happenings, I figured I could not missed the happening at Brotzeit. I must say, I've always been a fan. And I am glad I joined them because hey, a night filled with beer and good food, not to mention happy people? who wouldn't have a blast?
There were band, DJ, raffle, beer drinking contest, the whole she bangs that comprise a great Oktoberfest Celebration. I expect nothing less of course, it was Brotzeit after all. They are known to be the hub of good times whether you are meeting up with some friends for some great rounds of beer or just enjoying a hearty lunch with colleagues.
Oktoberfeast at Brotzeit is not just about beer of course, because they also offer great tasting Bavarian cuisine which is equally well worth celebrating for. I do have my favorite dishes at Brotzeit, but during the kick off, foodie friends and I decided to ditch the ala carte and go for the platter which is just perfect if you are in a group.
The Oktoberfest Platter which consist of Pork Knuckle, Pork Ribs, Smoked German Garlic Sausages, Breaded Chicken and Fish Fillets, Smoked Bacon, and two side dishes. I tell you, the serving portion was humongous that my jaw almost fell because I was not expecting for it to be that big. Nonetheless, everyone in our group devoured it with such gusto.
The breaded chicken and fish fillet were foiled with crisp batter that covers tender meat which was delightful to the bite. The smoked bacon which looked raw to me at a glance was amazing with its smoky flavor and thick cut.
The pork ribs which showcase a balance flavor between sweet and savory with a hint of spicy kick was also impressive. Its tenderness was equally noteworthy. The garlic sausages, I must say was a revelation. It was the last item I picked on the selections not knowing that I would fell madly in love for it.
The pork knuckle which got my rave from the very first time I tasted it still impressed the living soul out of me. It was flavorful but with a distinct flair to it not comparable to other pork knuckle I have had. And while it may not have the usual fall-of-the-bone kind of tenderness, it is still enjoyable as it is.
The Spatzle was not included in the platter but dare I say that your visit at Brotzeit wouldn't be complete without it. Trust me on this, it is the best Spatzl I have ever had.
So, if you are up for a memorable Oktoberfest celebration, I suggest that you gather your friends and head on over to Brotzeit German Bier and Restaurant located at Edsa Shangri-La Mall. Not only you will enjoy their premium line of beer, but the quality of food and the happy ambiance will also get you going.
