ADVENT,ADVENTein.............

Its the time of the year again,where the days get shorter,the weather gets colder and everyone drink Gluehwein- at least in the northern places of Europe.
For Singapore there is not much change in seasons - exept for all the Christmas lights and decorations flooding Orchard Road.
Oh stop! I forgot there is another place where the feeling of Christmas is in the air.
Erich's WUERSTELSTAND in chinatown.
As a matter of tradition 1st. Advent is celebrated with good friends and a few drinks. this year the 1st.Advent party was held on its eve. Being a Saturday it suited best to have the next day to rest and relax- at least for the participants and not so much for Erich- who relaxes everyday :)
 

 

 Ho,Ho,Ho, here comes the fun......

 

 

 

"DomDoms" very unique Advent Calener- he is allowed only one "Blech" a day- if he can find the correct number:)

HoHoHo better be good.......

and have a happy Xmas season

 

 

Advent at the Wuerstelstand

Being a tradition ,friends of Erich's Wuerstelstand celebrated the 1st Advent with "Feuerzangen Bowle"
Prepared to perfection by chief alchemist Dr.Claus the evening was a great sucsess and the bottles of wine used where never counted and it really did not matter as everyone had a good time.

Merry Christmas to all we know but where not able to be here

the bowle was drunk on behalf of you

Judith is in charge to make the backdrop (..and drop it did)

No need to hide behind this master piece and everyone confirmed it

Herbert,that foto is for you a promise..........is a promise

Claus at work with Mr. TO providing the QC and Judith relaxing after the writing

Inspection of the sugar loaf for the perfect burning and taste of the bowle.

its working,its working soon we get to the main attraction

A toast to all our friends aroud the world. We made it and got the perfect hot drink in this tropical cimate.

The best part is the caramel is'n it?

The proof- it was a sucess and no leftover-sneak peak in our zauberer's kitchen

Thank you

and see you all on the 1st Advent in 2011

Advent, Advent ein Lichtlein brennt.....

...erst brennen 2, dann 3, dann 4,..............dann steht Santa Erich vor der Tuer .......

Ho, ho, ho, ho

What would be the start of advent without a celebration at the Wuerstelstand. And because of the cooler weather we had to have Gluehwein.

Santa Erich (Miraculix the Druid) brewed his secret mixture of wine and herbs

Our chemist Dr. Claus (one of the elves) was Santa Erich's helper

" I hope it doesn't explode.........."
Locals stunned about what's happening now at crazy Ang Moh's kiosk

Another big story about Erich's Wuerstelstand in an Austrian Newspaper

Erich's success story has already been featured many times in local TV shows, newspapers and magazines but in other Asian countries and even worldwide. Currently Erich is shown on International flights in the arrival video about Singapore.
Media from his home country Austria also send inquiries for interviews quite frequently because they are proud of his success overseas.

They honour not only the big companies but also entrepreneurs like Erich.
This time it was again Austria's most read newspaper featuring his story in conjunction with Xmas in Singapore.
Immediately after the first copies have been sold we could see quite an increase of web page hits from Austria. Thus makes Erich ones again a renown ambassador for both countries, Austria as well as Singapore.
