MANILA, Philippines — Solaire Resort and the German Club of the Philippines will celebrate Oktoberfest in Manila this October.
Guests can indulge in an array of classic German dishes and enjoy free-flowing beer, alongside live entertainment by Bavarian Sound Express all-night long.
Featuring the world-renowned Weihenstephaner as the official beer sponsor, the event offers a unique experience, with the second day in Solaire Resort North dedicated to families. Children can enjoy a variety of activities, such as a bouncy castle, German costume photo booth, face painting, and carnival games, making it a perfect day out for all ages.
There’s no German feast without the Brotkorb, or breadbasket, an essential centerpiece of oven-fresh German breads and Laugenbrezel or Bavarian-style soft pretzels, which are perfect for pairing with Obatzda, a creamy German beer cheese dip. The Wiesen jause features a delightful spread of German cold cuts and cheeses. Choose from a Münchner Wurstsalat, a Munich-style sausage salad; Kartoffelsalat, a classic German potato salad; or Krautsalad, a tangy white cabbage salad. These dishes create a hearty and savory German spread for everyone.
The menu features sausages like Rostbratwurst, a grilled and spicy pork sausage served alongside tangy Sauerkraut, roasted potatoes, and rich onion jus; as well as Frankfurter sausage paired with creamy German potato salad and a freshly baked Kaiser roll. Indulge in the Oktoberfest Haxe or slow-roasted Pork Knuckle that comes with a wheat beer sauce. The Rindsgulasch is a hearty beef goulash made with braised beef ragout, served with bread dumplings and a side of red cabbage. The dessert station includes Apfelstrudel or classic apple strudel; Kaiserschmarrn or shredded caramelized pancake; and Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte or black forest gateau.
