In this post, I guess it will be more food pr0n then my personal review on the food. It was a food blogger gathering last night at this nice little Swiss restaurant/cafe named Edelweiess. It was my first time having meal there at Edelweiss. I read about this restaurant in the papers and other food blogs and wanted to visit it for a long time and the chanced is given. Thanks to Lingzie for organizing such a nice gathering for the food blogger.

Edelweiss is a swiss restaurant-cum-cafe with a nyonya interior feel located on the heritage street, Armenian St (Lebuh Armenian). It wouldn’t be hard looking for the restaurant, the street is short and look for a little swiss flag hanging outside and that’s Edelweiss.

Let’s get into some food, shall we?

Appetizer/Starter

First up, we got a soup and some bread for appetizer or starter. It’s a pumpkin soup and tasted sweet. It’s not really that creamy, but it’s a good try. I think it would be nice if it’s creamier. I love creamy soup.

Breads! We got garlic toast and a lots of onion and cheese topping bread. I like the onion one because there’s cheese on top.

Main Course

That’s a huge smoked pork sausage. Sorry that it’s non-halal because it’s pork. I would love to try that.

It’s about pork for the whole night with a exception of lamb. Above is a smoked pork belly. There’s the fat and the non-fat part. Wonder what will it taste like at of the skin and fat part. The worm-liked is actually mashed potato, don’t worry, it’s nice.

A little pork rib served with french fries and salad. French fries seems to be more than the mashed potato. But what were we being there is to taste food. =) When stomach goes full, you won’t feel comfortable.

The only non-pork main course among alls. It’s a roast leg of lamb. Seems nice, but I don’t really like to eat lamb. There’s always smell.

The double curry pork sausages. It’s two huge sausages with sweet chilli sauce and curry powder as topping. I’ve tried it and I like it more than my Gammon Ham below. The curry powder is not that spicy but as a Chinese (Chinese loves spicy food), exchanging the curry powder with the dried chilli powder, I think it will be hot.

Here comes my Gammon Ham with onion gravy as topping. Yes, it’s my first time trying this food. I’ve never ate it elsewhere before. It’s a thick pork ham with it’s skin on and served with worm-liked delicious small mash potato and salad. The ham is hard to cut but then I eventually ate all of it. I didn’t even bother about the fat skin. I just gotto do more exercise for now.

I ate it with some mustard and well, the same thing I got to say is, it’s hard (to cut).

Desserts

We got a apple flan and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. There’s apple and there’s egg. Like it. It’s different from apple pie, it’s not hot and because the existence of egg makes it taste, special (to me).

I forgot to talk about the price, it’s a little high for the pricing. But then it’s a good place to eat out. once in a while it would be good. Nice environment, little bar and wifi zone. Good place I’d say.

Edelweiss Cafe Website

There’s a cafe and a restaurant at CRC, Penang. The restaurant is a Chinese restaurant, I’ve been there a few time, but this time, my parents bought me to lunch at the cafe in CRC, the Chinese Recreation Club. Until then I only know that they do serve some nice food.

Cooked Jawa Mee. The picture seems nice, but I didn’t try it. Sorry I can’t give any comment to you guys.

Fried Noodle. Not that bad, but fried noodle is not my favourite food. I like fried Koay Teow more.

Here comes my ordered Chicken Chop. It’s asian style with sweet BBQ sauce on top. The fries is too little and the chicken is not very small. However, the price is a little bit expensive than what I had outside.

Famous fried chicken. This is a must try. It crispy and taste good, and there’s some special chili sauce too. Dip it and eat it. Remember to drink a lot of water after eating fried chicken. =)

Lastly, anoteher famous is the roti babi (ignored the photo, focus on a wrong point). Roti babi is bread stuffed with minced pork. Quite nice too, there’s chicken as alternative to pork.

If I am not mistaken, it’s doing a promotion right now. RM9 for a the set of Happy Ricebox Set with a drinks (mostly Vsoy soya bean). I have finally tried to XXL Crispy Chicken of Shih Lin Taiwan Street Snack Corner, it’s with rice because I ordered the happy ricebox set. It is said that the original price is RM11 but currently it’s doing a promotion, so it’s cheaper.

The Happy Ricebox Set consist of XXL Crispy Chicken, cold toufu, some salted vegetable, century egg and rice. Although the promotional poster there says that it include “drinks of your choice” but then they only serve VSOY soya bean and mineral water.

Overall, it’s something that can filled my stomach. The chicken is nice and boneless. It’s that they gives too little of vegetable, eat more vegetable is good for health. The toufu is special because it’s a cold one, and there’s the sweet century egg.

What do you think?

P/S: Surprisingly, the worker who is not a Chinese can speak mandarin. =)

Last weekend, my parents brought me to a Thai restaurant for dinner. The Thai restaurant is called Maa Roy Thai Food located on Lorong Abu Siti. It’s an authentic Thai food restaurant because the chef, the waiter and all working inside is Thai, they speak Thai and English.

This was my first time going there but it’s my parents’ second time. It’s nice knowing this place.

We were served with an appetizer and it’s the Thai salad-liked dish. It’s called nampit if I’m not mistaken, freshly cut cucumber and longbeans, dip it with Thai spicy sambal.

Thai styled omelette with minced meat floss and tomato. It tastes sweet but I don’t like the taste. Some may like it but not me. It’s not that bad, but I want to try the vegetable filled omelette next time.

Here’s a fried fish with spicy sour soup. It’s not tomyam, but the soup is spicy and a little bit sour. They give an extra bowl of soup to pour onto the fish if you find the soup is not enough.

Balacan fried rice is delicious. The waiter said that the famous one is pineapple fried rice but he, himself recommended us the balacan fried rice and so we ordered a plate of it for 3 person. It comes with a side dish that have onion, cooked meat, cut mango and chilis.

As for tomyam, it’s nice. I’ve forgotten to take a photo of it, but what I got to say that it taste like what I had in Thailand before. I like red tomyam then clear tomyam.

It’s the second time I went to Home Recipe at Prangin Mall to eat out. Now I know it’s good place for me to have my meal when I go to town, it’s cheap when you order the ala carte, but if you want set, it’s around RM9-10 with drinks and dessert as for western food served, the set is around RM13-15. I prefer ala carte because it’s cheaper and student get 10% discount, that’s the nice part.

Tomyam fish noodle. It’s noodle in seafood tomyam soup with a plate of fried fish fillet. The soup is just okok only and my friend said the fillet is nice. I prefer the tomyam chicken noodle though because it’s fried chicken.

Here comes my Spicy Chicken Rice with Satay Sauce. There’s egg, there’s grill chicken and there’s a satay sauce. The best part of this is the sauce. Love it so much, and the chicken is not bad too. Pour the sauce on the rice or dip it with the chicken. I’ll say it’s nice.

It was nice Koay Teow Thng at Pulau Tikus Market and now, it is nice Wan Tan Mee at Pulau Tikus Market.

Well, I got to say that it is nice. You can ask for fried wan tan instead of cooked one. I prefer fried wan tan, it’s more crispy but then some people don’t like it. The noodle is nice and I recommend this at Pulau Tikus market food stalls area.
