Oktoberfest is one of the popular events in the German calendar, In Malaysia too this celebration bring folks together to celebrate with beers and great food. This year what better way to celebrate the Oktoberfest 2016 early at Brotzeit German Bier Bar & Restaurant Sunway Pyramid, Bandar Sunway Selangor.

Brotzeit German Bier Bar & Restaurant have specially crafted a special Oktoberfest Platter (more of this later) to go with the Paulaner Beer from Germany to satisfy your craving for crafted beers and delicious pairing food.

Brotzeit Bier and Bar has a very special beer sampler where its patrons can order a combination of the Signature Brotzeit Beer Sampler (RM40.00) where you can sample 4 different type of beer cocktail at one go with your meal. This Beer sampler from left to right is Apflebier, Churchill, Benzin, Scharwer.

or if you can try out a non-alcoholic Paulaner Hefe WeiBbier.

For the new menu food review, our first dish is the Kassler Flade - Smoked Pork Loin Pizza - This is a thin crust pizza with tomatoes sauce as its base, with thin slices of slightly salty smoked pork loin topped with olives and freshly grated horseradish and Mozzarella Cheese. 

The second mains is the German Style Meat Loaf - it is a traditional homemade meatloaf topped with a fried egg and bacon, served with Asian salad and fries. We like the texture and taste of the meatloaf which goes well with a fusion Asian salad which has a vinaigrette taste (much like a Thai Salad).

Mozzarella Pork Fillet is the next course on the table, It is served with boiled Ham, Pork Fillet, Tomatoes and Mozzarella on a Sourdough Bread served with coleslaw and fries on the sides. If you are a real fan of cheese, you find this dish just the kick for you.

The star of the review is the Oktoberfest Platter; which is a super platter for sharing consisting of a Pork Knuckle, Garlic Sausage, Gypsy Belly Bacon, Mini Pork Cheese Sausage, Nurnberger Sausage, Honey Glazed Lumberjack Steak served with Sauerkraut and potato salad. Serving a mix varieties of pork meat the German style, it is best eaten with a glass of cold icy beer. 

For desserts, the chef has specially crafted the Apfelkuchle - Apple Fritters - which is; slices of cinnamon sugar dusted apple fritters served with homemade Vanilla sauce.

From now onwards, you can experience and taste the pre-Oktoberfest celebration at Brotzeit German Bier Bar & Restaurant
