Japanese Strawberry Shortcake

Haven’t bake for a period of time, and last 2 months, the strawberry which imported from Korea was so fresh and sweet, coincidently I also found a recipe of making Japanese strawberry short cake, so, I thought I should give it a try. At first I was following the method written to prepare the short cake, however, I failed, yet I need to figure out how to settle 2 boxes of strawberry that I bought, so, I follow the usual way of making sponge cake (refer http://unprofessionalphotography.blogspot.com/2011/03/lemon-peach-mousse-cake_29.html), cut and layered the cake with whipped cream and strawberry cubes, then cover the cake with whipped cream and decorated with strawberry slices… muak, lovely! (self-praise again ) I think, baking is still quite therapeutic for me, instead of shopping.

Later on when I was surfing the net, I came to this page http://www.lafujimama.com/2010/07/japanese-strawberry-shortcake/, she is also using sponge and I think, one day I would love to this her recipe.

Brotzeit – German Bier Bar & Restaurant

I didn’t count the weightage of me posting food compare to other, I guess must be 80:20, . Among the 4 essentials, cloth, food, shelter and transportation, I used to prioritize food as my top priority, but lately I lost my appetite, I used to eat a lot, especially those that I like, but lately if you were to ask me if I’m finding any unique restaurant or asking around any good recommendation, I’m not… why? Never thought that this could happen to me, probably my subconsciously I’m stopping myself for food, I really need to go on a healthier and more moderate eating. While saying this, look at what I’ve post for the last 4 or 5 posts! They are all FOOD FOOD FOOD FOOD! Probably eating too much before this, made me a bit guilty to my body & weight…

This German restaurant was recommended by my colleague's ex-colleagues… That night was crazy… look at what we did… 

Me & the 3-litre Paulaner

(I’m not a beer lover, just trying to drink the beer with this gigantic beer glass)

======================================

I was bringing my besties – QY & KM for dinner the other day, besides pork knuckle, I don’t think I’m familiar with German food… let’s try!

The beautiful interior, my favourite is the beer bottle wall

While waiting for QY, me & KM was starving, so, we ordered this onion soup with cheese dumpling as our “pre starter”… omg, love at 1st try!

Roasted potatoes and salad were picked as our starters. The salad is super yummy, they are not all raw, some for example the cucumber, I think the chef has heated or steamed or smoked a little…

Wahahahahahaha… here come the main course!!

The girls were terrified by the portion, me too, but I remember it wasn’t this big when we take this to go with the beer at the crazy night, we had to order few bowls of fries and wedges too, this time, it was really too much for 3 girls. This platter allows us to try all the signature dishes, all type of sausages, pork cutlet, pork knuckle too!

I really like the restaurant although the food & beverage are a bit pricy, and the table near the beer bottle wall has some mosquitoes, I will still highly recommend BROTZEIT!
