Nonya Achar - 阿妈的最棒!

Looks can be deceiving... these are Achar contained in Adams... lol. This is what you can do with the dozens of bottles after buying dozens of Adams Peanut butter and eat dozens of them

This is seriously like the BEST Achar I ever came across man... made by my grandmother, even at a age of 70+, she is still whipping up nice Nonya dishes... :)

Nicely spiced, sweetness of the pineapples, coolness of the cucumber, crunchy cabbages, carrots shreds, topped with sesame seeds!

Not For Sale!

Brotzeit @ Vivocity - Es ist Würstezeit! Nicht Brotzeit!

Es ist Würstezeit! Nicht Brotzeit!

this translates to... it is sausages time! not Bread time! because we did not have any bread... we just eat sausages! many many of them!

Before looking at my hotdog pictures... Let me give you a short german lesson. lol.

Call me Deutschlehrer Foodiegymmie! hahaha =P


In Deutsch, every noun has a gender, Maskulinum, Femininum or Neutrum (Male, Female or Neutral). There s no reason why, it just is! For example, chair is male and door is female, and bed is neutral. So when we refer to Chair, we say: der Tisch; die Tür for the door, and das Bett for the bed. der/die/das are the articles for the different genders, male, female and neutral respectively.

Brot means bread in german, So we say das Brot (n)
Zeit
means time in german; die Zeit (f)

Combine together, it means: Brotzeit or Breadtime!

Wurst means sausage; die Wurst(f)



Würstezeit
!!!



Würstelplatte @ $32.50 - I shared the platter with my friend. The platter has spicy chicken sausage, lamb sausage, mini pork cheese sausages, weisswurst sausage and garlic sausage with sauerkraut and mustard. The lamb sausage is the bestest!!!

Nürnberger @ $17.50 - Consist of five pieces of original Nürnberger pork bratwurst with sauerkraut and mashed potatoes. Can be a bit sickening if you eat all these by yourself... no variety... good thing he got good friend like us who share our sausages! hehe

Currywurst @ $17.50 -German pork and curry sausage with chili-curry sauce and potato wedges. I heard from my german course mates that this is a veryyyy popular dish in Germany... knowing this...

2 person ordered this... and I tried a bit, and I must say this is really good! The sausage is sooo BIG and JUICY, with ketchup on it, sprinkled with very aromatic curry powder!

Weisswurst @ $18.50 - 3 pieces of traditional Munich veal and pork sausage served with a brezn. I did not try this, but i heard that it is not bad la. when i saw the bretzel i was quite gian (feel like trying a bit), bcos I like bretzels and pretzels!

Weissbier und Mangobier

*keep the post short, I am soooo busy, FYP presentations, thesis , german test and test, mid term paper to be complete before I leave for korea! cos now my korea trip is extended to almost a week, means I am very bz now... will blog less*

Mister Donuts - Pon de Lion

Usually I don't eat donut in Singapore, because it is deep fried!!! imagine flour and oil...

But these are different! because they are worth the damage... lol

The first time I tried them was about 8 or 9 months back... and ever since then, I have been hoping someone will go Taiwan and buy back for me...

Finally!



Mister Donuts... When you go to Taipei, everything is so cute there, their people, their dressing, their shops... even their donut... They actually have a cartoon character to represent each of their donuts...

They got more varieties, but over here are "Pon De Ring" and "French Culler". Pon De Ring is those on the left side with circular loops, they have a very chewy texture, whereas those on the right are french culler, soft texture.

Pack for my gf! My gf loves these... Chocolate and Sugar Pon De Ring, Strawberry and chocolate French culler... *see the paper bag also very cute right* lol

Pon De Ring and French Culler says
"Buy me!"
“买我!“
