October German Food Buffet @ Swez Brasserie Eastin Penang Hotel



It is October promotion, German fest. Hotel was unable to serve real pork but to replace with chicken and beef. It turn out good and healthier. This were the best German food i had for a while especially the Chicken Schnitzel, YUM~!!!

German Sausages (Bratwurst) & German Potato Salad.

German Sausages (Bratwurst) which is a popular German appetizer. It is a sour and appetizing starter to kick start heavy German sausages fest. It is shredded pickle cabbage combined with some sliced celery, capsicum, onions and tossed with some sliced bratwurst.

German Potato Salad, diced potato, spring onion, turkey ham, pepper and salt. 

An open puff with Beef Stroganoff. Sauteed mushroom go really well with the beef. Tender soft beef topped with sour cream, bell pepper, salt and pepper, it is heavenly. 

It is a definitely must eat dish, Chicken Schnitzel. Deep fried breadcrumb chicken to perfection. Can't describe by words how great this dish was. It is crispy at the outside, flavorful and tender in the inside.
All kind of sausages being served that i can't even name them.

Typical dish served at German restaurant, Rotkohl. A sweet & sour red cabbage which go well with all the heavy dish served :)

Schwarzwalder Kirschtorte (Black Forest Cake) and pretzels for our sweet ending. The pretzels abit hard to my liking.

Another GREAT place in Penang ~ LA FRANCE CAFE & RESTAURANT



It always been my favorite hawker stall in Northern Beach Cafe. Price, food quality and service make this hawker France food a hit beside the beach kopitiam. Moreover it is serve by ang mou :)


Finally they have move to a dream restaurant set up behind the Northern Hotel. The boss is a France guy living just not far from Germany, so food serve have a touch of German. The lady boss is a local, so they have no problem communicating with the local while they selling in Northern Beach Cafe. They had spend more then 6 month to setup their dream restaurant. It is cozy, nice and relaxing environment cafe. I was there when they first day of their opening.


Very cozy style cafe setup, moreover the neighbor next door have a clean garden. Give their an A+ for maintaining a good environment :)


How you find the ambient?


Is a MUST GO new cafe in town.


Night time they on all their special ordered light, make the whole place stand up.


Picture hand during the first day but some of them had been replace.


Picture hang on the wall.


Croques Monsieur (Oven baked Ciabatta serve during lunch time ONLY) – Croc’ Ham & Cheese (Pork Ham – RM9.80). Love the bread as it is moist and taste SUPER GOOD.


Croissant Poulet (Yoghurt Chicken – RM10.90). It is one of the best thing i ever eaten. It is a MUST TRY dish.


I love the potato salad that come along with the dish. Simple and taste good.


Aglio Olio with Extra Virgin Olive Oil (RM9.00). A simple dish which look easy but in fact to get this dish right is another thing. The dish contain dried chili, cheese, Extra virgin olive oil, olive, slices of garlic, dash of paper and pasta.


Schnitzel (Grilled Chicken Cutlet – RM14.90). The chicken grilled with pork ham which you can hardly find anywhere in Penang.


Follow by the dessert, Crepe Compote (Apple & Banana – RM6.80) It taste exactly the same when they were in their old place.


The citron (Hot Lemon Tea)


Espresso. This cup of Espresso was the joke of the day for us. As my friend use to drink our 3 in 1 pack of Espresso so he though Espresso is a normal full cup of coffee. When he ordered i did ask him a few times, you sure you want this? He replied sure i always drink this, why not. So until the drink put in front of him, he like who ordered this? We laugh out loud non stop. For him, he had a hard time finishing this tiny cup :)


Kronenbourg 1664 (RM16.90). They ever serve their proud beverage direct from French.

The overall meal is very good, fill with laughter. Best part of all is it is really a great place to chill out with friends. The food serve are GREAT but it is too little for our Asian stomach. So if you planning to pay them a visit make sure you go for tea break or supper.
