Brotzeit Bier Bar & Restaurant (Sunway Pyramid)

Enthusiasm ran high. My enthusiasm, forever will dash fast when I am gonna experience food. My colleague spoke about the German Pork Knuckles in Brotzeit Bier Bar & Restaurant, over and over again, for the last few days, and I, I finally agreed. An early lunch, we arrived by 12.10 and sat at one of the tables at the corner where you can see through the glass panelling on how hyped up is Sunway Pyramid. All sorts of people walking in and out, also, a popular tourist spot among the "Woman In Black" Middle Eastern ladies, but should you be among them in the toilet, in the mall, you will, definitely, I bet notice their glittering and sexy outfits.What lies beneath the black long loose gown. I had the honour a couple of times. So, when I saw these, not the same ladies though, walking in and coming out of the mall, I had grin to myself. 


My colleague on the other hand was busily reading the menu. Wonder why when she had already beforehand insisted that we must try the pork knuckles? Women? Don't they are a confused lot? I know. Anyway, instead of I too staring at the menu, I helped out. I didn't want to waste time because we have to be back at the office within the next hour. We ordered.

Drinks arrived within a jiffy, we sipped into the Cranberry Juice and Orange Juice. Ah! So lovely on this burning hot day, both the juices kicked in a cooling and sensation burst down our throat. While sipping in, we also took a good look at the ambiance. 

Rustic, modern and spacious, with option of seating outside, which I believe is where the happy hour crowd will be later. For some of them, night will never end. Boozy night by the way is a long night for those who don't want to go home, for whatever reason is may be. I was in the same category those days, but its a different story all together these days. Now, almost an hour of await for food, also after noticing that customers who walked in after us were already tucking into their meal, I tried, a couple of times to ask, the waiters came by but the standard answer from each of them was "on the way" madam. On the way for the last 30 minutes? I had to, I didn't have a choice but behave like a diva. 

Finally, we were told that knuckles will take an hour. Oh lord! Oh god god! Why were we not told earlier? We too overlooked this fact, which has been stated in the menu. Did we have any other choice? You are right, no. To keep us calm, thank you to the staff for serving us fries, alongside three types of dips. We gawked the thick potato bacons, polished off every bit and then, tadaa, the sight of pork knuckles.   

Huge portion. Damn huge for two people, crispy on the outside and tender bite inside pork knuckle chunks, paired alongside creamy buttery potato salad, vinaigrette German cabbage and some greens. Actually, you know what, it was quite a pleasing meal. I didn't mind this close cousin of our local Chinese roasted pork. Sincerely, it is.

We definitely struggled to finish up. As it is, I am such a small eater, my colleague tried her best to eat as much as she could. In the end, we decided that it will be best to pack back the balance. I gave her the honour for bringing it back to her home. I didn't want. At this juncture, we had another surprise. Another complimentary, just like the served earlier fries. We were served two glasses, filled with chocolate mousse, atop with whipped cream.    

Wow! Joy to the world Brotzeit Bier Bar & Restaurant. Thank you for calming us down eventually after keeping us in the lurch, for making us wait and for not wanting to tell us why we waited for pork knuckles. All the faults of Brotzeit Bier Bar & Restaurant were completely forgotten, we thanked the staff, prior to rushing back to work.
