Berlin65 - German’s Melting Pot of Cultures

As someone who is into German music, language, films and culture, I, naturally, put Berlin65 into my wishlist at the recommendation from Goethe Insitut Singapur. It is always good to have more great choices of restaurants in Singapore to immerse in German culture, weil es wenige deutsche Restaurants in Singapur gibt.

Instead of featuring German food only, Berlin65 actually reflects the inclusive multi-cultural scene of Berlin to feature also Turkish, Israeli, Vietnamese, Greek, French, Thai cuisines. The food here is hearty and delicious. And I can enjoy German’s classics such as Garlic Soup, Currywurst, Preztel and Round Doughnut with other cuisines such as kebabs, bahn mi.

With the colourful graffiti-like paintings resembling Friedrichshain‘s murals adorned with street art, and the hip hop music, it feels like a piece of Berlin is transported to here.

Tiger Prawns roasted and soaked in spiced tomato garlic sauce is succulent and so flavorful with a good mix of savoury goodness, sweetness, zest, herbal pungency and spiciness.

Iskender Kebab sounds glorious with lots of goodies such as chicken from the spit grilled, flatbeard, garlic yoghurt, homemade tomato chilli sauce, grilled tomato tomatoes, pickled pepperoni, Italian parsley. It is a Turkish feast with lots of robust flavours. Yes, a melting pot of flavours like the melting pot of cultures in Berlin.

Wild Garlic Soup with pretzel coutons, sour cream and parsley is the German dish I have for the night. The pungency of garlic is very mild but it is a very hearty and delicious nonetheless due to its rich creaminess and the medley of exotic tastes from the sour cream, parsley snd yes, the light hint of wild garlic.

Berliner is fluffy round shaped doughnut with lots of vanilla bean custard to add the moisture, making it even better.

Ayran is Turkish salted yoghurt drink, which I recommend to try. It is very tasty and unique.
