Brussels Sprouts – Belgian Beer 70x Over

Rating:

By Veron Ang

I’ll admit it — I’m crazy about beer. And I especially have a weak spot for Belgian beer. One of the best places to enjoy it would be Brussels Sprouts at Mohamed Sultan Road. This Belgian bar-restaurant boasts over 70 different kinds of beer. From malty full-bodied to light fruity, everyone would be able to find his favourite beer here!

This casual bar is decked out in yellow, from the round-topped tables and the motif-decorated walls right down to the glossy menus. Even though the interior looks chic, my favourite spot there is definitely in the outdoor, among the high stools along the river. Drinking beer by the waterfront is the perfect way to spend a weekday evening!

Besides the dozens of different beers available, there is also an extensive selection of mussels and meat dishes to choose from.

Brussels Sprouts' Platter

We thought it would be clever to go for the Brussels Sprouts’ Platter. That way we would get to sample a bit of everything, including frites, mussels and prawn croquettes.

Even though the filling wasn’t much, the Grey shrimp croquette was quite delicious. But then again, anything deep-fried would be yummy right? It’s almost a rule!

Half of our platter was filled with pork in different forms! And I don’t even take pork! My dinner partner (actually more like drinking partner) isn’t exactly a big fan of pork either. Had we bothered to read the menu carefully, we would have ordered a pot of pure mussels instead of the platter.

Thankfully, the mussels were awesome! Succulent and plump, it was tempting to keep popping them into my mouth one after another. Slurp! Even if it wasn’t for the beer, the mussels alone would keep me coming back for more!

Mussel lovers get to choose from 14 cooking styles, be it European, such as the classic wine-and-butter combo, or Asian. Spicy tom yum, anyone? And that’s not all — each pot of mussels comes with free-flowing fries and creamy mayonnaise! Yum!

Of course, the perfect way to wash it down is with… Belgian beer!

Leffe Blonde & Hoegaarden

S$7.50++ & S$9.50++ (a pint)

Ahh…! I had just a pint of Leffe Blonde. But I’m going back for more! An interesting point to note is that all beers are served in their respective glasses of varying shapes, designed to bring out their best flavour.

These are the different Belgian beers that I had in Tokyo. I’m so glad to be able to find them in Singapore too!

One more thing — kids aged 10 and below (one for every paying adult) get to eat for free too (weekend lunches only)! Okay, I’m pretty sure none of you would qualify. It’s still useful information nonetheless.

What are you waiting for?

Wow, that sounds intriguing! Not sure if they have it. But I’d be sure to ask about it the next time round. With so many types of beer there, the odds are good!

My goodness, that pot of mussels there looks amazingly fresh and succulent!! I’m so gonna try that next time. And since you are a beer lover, maybe you can advise what kind of beer is suitable for someone like me who prefers something sweet and light (I’m a Hoegaarden sort of gal)?

I’m not such an expert on beer but my favourite “common” brand of beer is Stella Artois. Hoegaarden used to be my favourite until I got a taste of Stella! I tend to go for light beers. Leffe Blonde is pretty good. In any case, I’m sure the waiter/bartender would be happy to recommend you something from their extensive selection.

Hey Veron. Thanks for this review! Have been meaning to bring my family down to check this place out but had completely forgotten the name. Thanks for reminding me and for giving a objective overview to see if it is indeed worth going down.

Hi GaotheBao,
It’s an affirmative ‘YES’ to your question about whether Brussel Sprouts carry Lambic Beers. They didn’t use to. But they do now!

hey, if you are into belgium beers check this really laid back place at upper thomson that I have recently discovered. They are selling the beers at a much cheaper price compared to those in town. I was able to get delirium at 16.. which is pretty cool. http://www.littlepart1cafe.com.sg.
