Karneval is a traditional German festival that dates back hundreds of years to mark the beginning of Lent. It is a time of eating, drinking and merriment, usually accompanied by a huge parade combining elements of a circus, masks and social satire. As part of the festivities, street vendors selling simple German fare such as pretzels and bratwursts, as well Karneval’s specialty beers, can be found on every corner to satisfy any hunger pangs. Come 16 January to 25 February 2018, Brotzeit Singapore is bringing the flavours and Gemütlichkeit (a feeling of warmth, friendliness, and good cheer) of Karneval to Singapore. In lieu of a parade, Brotzeit will be launching a specially-curated Karneval menu, featuring festival favourites and traditional beer from the land of Karneval, Cologne. Brotzeit is also introducing their We Dare You! Brotzeit Challenge, a “Man Vs Food” sausage-eating challenge for a pair of friends to finish eating a half-meter sausage baguette together.

Mrupupup went to the Oktoberfest at Clarke Quay Singapore.  Oktoberfest is a famous German tradition of having beer and sausages. The evening at Oktoberfest was fun with Erdinger Beer and Mrupupup's favourite hotdog with grilled beef sausage (done by Shiraz restaurant). Mrupupup also had a pork belly which came with a very crispy layer done so well by Vinky restaurant (oumph! Very nice!). Oktoberfest held by sponsors Open Rice, Capitalmalls and restaurants in Clarke Quay was fun. Mrupupup went round to the game counters and played many games. There was also a music concert and Bavarian Bar Maids. The Oktoberfest is from 12 - 13 October 2012.

Mrupupup attended Lil Papa's Wieners Beerstro tasting session. Very good experience! Lil Papa's Wieners sells hotdogs and special beers & ciders. The place is located at Blk 7 Tanjong Pagar Plaza #01-108 (near Tanjong Pagar MRT). Really great fun attending this tasting session. Mrupupup got to try the special  gourmet hotdogs known as wieners which come in non-spicy, mild spicy (with mild mustard, beef and tomatoes) and very spicy flavours (meaning with sambal chili - spicy!). Hotdogs vary in price from between $7-$10. All very nice! Mrupupup had one Lil Papa's Fav Wiener (non-spicy) which comes with pork sausage, home style baked beans on top with onions and curry powder. Delicious hotdog and one is enough to make you full! The tasting group tried out the hotdogs with pairings of special beers, ale and cider. Mrupupup was excited to drink Cherry Coke too as a starter! Cherry Coke is not commonly found in Singapore. Our tasting group also heard from the owner:  differen...
