Ah, the most wonderful time of the year is upon us. Christmas Day is all about the giving, gifting and most important of all, stuffing – that means stuffing yourself silly with a feast, drinking to your fullest and making merry with your loved ones. Instead of cooking, how about focusing on the eating? Here’s where you can enjoy the festive season without lifting a finger.
This Christmas, Brez’n is keeping things traditional by serving up a menu filled with classic dishes and perennial staples. No Bavarian Christmas tradition is complete without a roasted duck. A nod to the Bavarian tradition, the Salat mit Entenbrust (SGD18.00), the smoked duck breast meat is sliced thin, and served on a bed of fresh salad greens, crunchy walnuts, orange fillets and cranberries – for a balanced combination of crunchy and refreshing.

Take a step further with the Entenkeule mit Schupfnudeln (SGD28.00). Slather on some honey and brandy, you’re ready to go with two crispy duck legs that reveal their tender and juicy insides. Throw in some potato dumplings, a typical Bavarian accompaniment for roasts and this dish is set to finish with slow-braised red cabbage and cranberries.
If you’re really serious about turning your Christmas fete into a truly gastronomic affair, ready yourself to tuck into the Brez’n Weihnachtsplatte (SGD88.00). Perfect for sharing with up to five diners, make your calories count with a crispy pork knuckle the size of a fist, accompanied by two oven-roasted duck legs and the Sauerbraten (roast beef), with braised red cabbage and sliced bread dumplings.

Set for a long, cold winter, nothing warms the Bavarians up faster than a mug of mulled wine. At Brez’n, the Mulled Wine (Gluhwein) (SGD12.00) will be served chilled since we don’t get to experience winter on our sunny island.
There are lots of ways you could spend Christmas this year. Perhaps a Bavarian kind of Christmas could help you shake things up a little.
