Weissbräu, Straits Quay

First time taste on Germany food at Weissbräu, a great experience and i found my "lovely" salmon aww... so good!

Weissbräu, a German Bistro and Bar situated at Quay North of Straits Quay. The word Weissbräu is a combination of German word ‘Weiss’ for white and bräu for brew, which refers to

white brew or white beer (Most popular and common beer in Germany).

Went to Straits Quay quite numbers of time but never realise there's a German restaurant right there, might be because of the location i guess. It's at opposite side of light house, walk out from the doorway beside Cheeky Duck Asia Delight, you will see where Weissbräu is at the corner lot.

Vintage Bulgaria (Part I) - Overview

Here’s the 2^nd food review invites sponsored by Round U Sdn Bhd - Vintage Bulgaria.

"Letter - Push !!" =D

Can you pronounce it correctly in Bulgarian?

Vintage Bulgaria was established in year 2008. It was owned by a Bulgarian family who living in Penang. Though the master chef is a Bulgarian, she trains the local chefs.

Now i know what does Bulgaria means. Yes, it's truly a country name =P

Bulgaria is one of the European country which next to Greece and Turkish.

That's what we ordered last year.

This is my 2^nd visit here :D Was so excited when get to know that the next food review is here. My first visit was last year end, was falling love with its Spaghetti Bolognese at that time. Eventhough here's mainly Bulgarian food but not Italianese. Spaghetti Bolognese seems to be a very simple dish but surprisingly the chef was actually turned out the spaghetti into a very different way and indeed very delicious.

Evon in Bulgaria costume "Welcome to Vintage Bulgaria!! :) "

What’s actually Bulgaria’s food all about?

1) Mainly pork and beef (That’s the reason why I’m that lovin it, here goes my favourite pork)

2) Grilled and pan-fried (So called of less oily, healthy way of cook; rather than deep-fried)

3) Dry and cooked with spices (Here’s comes the quality of food and so into the taste of originality; rather than using onions, garlic, salt or even sugar)

4) Solid compare local food

Here are some of the interesting Bulgarian decoration :D

Once stepped into the restaurant, the overall impression gives you the feels that you are inside a classical Italian Museum. Also, the wall decoration increase the Italianish house atmosphere surrounding you.

These trophies in the cabinet are the awards won by Mr Lim previously from Cayman Islands, and it did attract me at the first sight. Furthermore, previous branch also been awarded first prize in the Food Hygiene Premises under the category of Air-Conditioned Restaurant.

As usual, the menu :)

Mr Lim – the only chef cum the owner. He has eight years of working experiences in Italy alone, not including the years working cruises in Florida and other countries. What amaze me more is that he alone able to handles the intense customers’ order from the kitchen and at the same time managing the restaurant to have running so well.

He is very humble in sharing his cooking experiences with us and how each dishes was perfectly cooked and served on the table.
