werner's oven



this german restaurant along upper east coast road was established in 1988 by a german who married a singaporean chinese woman. the owner is also the head chef of the restaurant. the bakery is next to the restaurant. we came to know about this place when we visited someone who rented a residential unit in the same building. she has since returned to oklahoma, usa.

she was full of praise for the home-baked bread sold in the restaurant and also recommended the roast pork knuckles. however, she preferred chinese food and had most of her meals at the chinese restaurant located to the left of the ntuc supermarket.

the more popular varieties of bread sold at werner's are foccacia, farmer's grain and brezel. all the bread is fresh. their unsold breads are donated to welfare organisations. ramesh can tell you more because he used to buy his bread from this bakery.

i like the place for its friendly and relaxed atmosphere. if you are there, you must try the pork dishes and the sausages. also, ask for the mini brezels. if you are a beer drinker, they have a selection of german brew.
