The Bratwurst Shop / The Brat has been located in Plaza Singapura, at the basement food street, since the mall's early years. Bratwurst Shop / The Brat is a popular take-away snack kiosk.

As the Bratwurst Shop / The Brat focuses mostly on take-away, there is very little ambience to speak of. While there is a small seating area just behind the Bratwurst Shop / The Brat kiosk, design is bare but functional, with primarily red colour tones.

Service at Bratwurst Shop / The Brat is good, staff are friendly and will offer suggestions. Food is made upon order, and is served quickly.

The Bratwurst Shop / The Brat specialized in Hot Dogs and Sandwiches. They offer 5 to 6 different types of sausages for Hot Dogs, and while these are pre-grilled, they are lightly grilled for warmth upon order. The sausages here are thick, meaty and juicy, excellent! However, the bun / bagette used, while toasted till crisp, can sometimes be a little tough and dry.

Overall, I feel that the Bratwurst Shop / The Brat is among one of the best Hot Dog stalls in Singapore.

A classic German combination of toppings, Mustard And Sauerkraut goes well with thick meaty sausages, like German Bratwursts.

A classic American combination of toppings, Chilli Beef goes well with long thin sausages. I felt this could have been better with slightly more sauce, and perhaps some chopped onions. Note that 'Chilli' in the name refers to the American style chilli, which is non-spicy.

Update 2014: The Bratwurst Shop / The Brat has regularly been updating their menu and decor, and the exterior looks so much more attractive now. The menu now includes burgers and beers, and they're doing so well that they've been voted as having the "best burgers under SGD $15" in Singapore!

The Asahi Black Beer is rather uncommon, but available here. Much stronger taste than the regular Asahi, but just as smooth.

The Avocado And Bacon Burger features fresh, creamy avocado, paired well with smoky grilled bacon. Okay, I know anything goes well with bacon, but in this case, the avocado complements it really well! The beef patty is thick and well grilled to medium, juicy, and with no fillers! The lettuce and tomatoes are fresh and add a nice crunch. Absolutely delightful, easy to see why they're a fierce contender for Best Burger in Singapore!

The Aussie Burger is too large to bite in 1 mouthful! Juicy, perfectly grilled thick beef patty, lettuce, tomatoes, sharp cheddar cheese, a slice of sweet pineapple, a smoky grilled rasher of bacon, and a sunny side up egg. The bun is left uncovered, and breaks the egg yolk when placed on top, making the Aussie Burger a truely messy, magnificent eating experience. No wonder it's been voted as "Best Burger Under SGD $15"!

I love that their Fries are thick cut, with the taste of potato. Great accompaniment for their hot dogs, burgers, and beer!
