It was that time of the month again and i brought Jac to this German restaurant that i've been eye-ing for a while now.. Been reading bout it in TimeOut Magazine and the review wasnt bad..

So Brotzeit is this german bar and restaurant that serves german beer (lots and lots of beer) and a variety of german food but the focus is really on the sausages... cz that wat German's famous for: Sausages and Beers..

The environment was really classy but at the same time not intimidating at all!!

The bar.. 

Had no idea which beer was gud.. in fact i never heard of any of those beers on the menu.. so jus decided to get the most popular one....

isnt it amazing how good sony ericsson's handphone cameras are.. Haha.. anw, loved the beer.. very very smooth.. if it wasnt for the slightly heavy price-tag, i would've gotten another one!

Garlic sausages with mashed potatoes and german cabbages.. 

Not so fond of the veggies.. but WHOA, the sausages and the mashed was freaking delicious larh!!! 

Pizza ala German

Nothing spectacular.. but it was good..

Go and grab some of their sausages!!! Its totally worth it!!

Who said History's boring??

There was this period where the Singapore National Heritage Board (NHB) was having this very attractive promotion: Free entries to all museums!! (heritage-fever rubbed off from Jac)

And they also gawd this contest thingy where you go inside all the museums to find answers for some questions.. (we wanted to win a set of Wii!)

So we went to a few places.. 

First stop: Singapore National Museum---

Hot babe.. Haha

Singapore History Gallery

The first room that we enter was gigantic and has screens projected all over the wall.. It was like watching a brain-washing movie clip .. but truly inspiring.. The clip and song sort of summed up what Singapore is all about!

Every visitor into the gallery was given this piece of equipment called the COMPANION and its ur mini personal tour guide that will tell you everything you want to know about all the exhibits and different sections in the gallery.. quite cool actually....

Then there was this theatrette where they showed how Singapore gawd its name.. the cool thing bout it was that the screen's like damn long... 

What flag was that??

Coffin!!! uuuuuuuu *freaky*

think this was a picture of Sun Yat Sen.. *freeeeeeaky*

how the shops during the colonial days looked like...

Japanese's bicycles...

The Malaya Tribune.. preserved...

Singapore National Museum

Next stop: Reflections at Bukit Chandu----

This place tell ya more bout how the Malays Regimen during the japanese invasion days fought them off... Stories bout the battle of Pasir Panjang.. and also bout the famous Lieutenant Adnan

Say Hi to the hero: Lt. Adnan

And we also visited the Old Ford Factory-----

Haha..somehow we ended at Island Creamery after that for some homemade ice-cream... too bad they din have the Tiger Beer flavor that i was craving for...

It was a fun and interactive history lesson... :)

Song Fa Bak Kut Teh

Name: Song Fa Bak Kut Teh
Location: 11 New Bridge Road (Opposite The Central @ Clark Quay MRT)
Price: $8 per person.
Opening Hours: 7.30am to 10.00pm (close on alternate Mondays)



This place was actually recommended by Jac. She and her colleagues frequented here often while she was interning at the ACM and they really liked it.



Apparently the bak kut teh here is really good (got newspaper cuttings all over) so here i am, to try it out..


This shop is just a road across from The Central, 5 mins walk from Clark Quay MRT...



The staff is really helpful in finding seats for you especially during peak hours...

Besides Bak kut teh, their menu also include pig innards, pig trotters, and green vegs..

Lunch - Bak kut teh, Bak kut teh with mee sua, Xiao Bai Chai, and You Tiao

Their broth was really quite addictive, ... peppery and loads of garlic cloves in it. Fragrant and full of flavours. The best thing was that the soup was refillable!
The meat was tender and damn delicious larh.. The only down side was that they only gave me 3 ribs for one serving... aih..
The greens were very nice too.. totally complemented the porky dish.
And you gotta try their ice lemon tea too... homemade goodness..
