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.

Edelweiss by you.

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.
