Recently, there are more themed restaurant coming up in Penang especially in town area, all the heritage house had been converted into restaurant. This very special Mediterranean themed restaurant is one of the upcoming and hot restaurant in the list of MUST try out :)

The cozy environment is very suitable for wine and chill out with friend and family. Moreover the food they serve MSG-FREE. So it definitely a good place to bring old folks.


Very Mediterranean look with all the blue and white paint. The view from front of El Casa Wine & Dine Restaurant.


Very cool outdoor seating for smoker. FREE WIFI available in the restaurant.

Homemade Puree of Forest Mushroom Soup (RM6.90)


Tomato soup - Daily Chef’s Homemade Special Western Cream Soup (RM6.90). Personally i love tomato soup so with this sour soup as my starter it definitely help me enjoy all the food to come.


El Casa salad (RM11.90) short of some ingredient the other day, so the presentation a bit out. Homemade Chicken Au Gratin (RM17.90), love it cause the chicken was so juicy and tasty. Moreover they serve with my childhood favorite chip curry potato chip.


Pan-Roasted Fillet of Norwegian Salmon (RM27.90). Crispy salmon skin, soft, tender and juicy meat serve with their delicios smash potato yum yum :) See how juicy and cheesy the Homemade Chicken Au Gratin was? It was soaked in creamy cheese sauce and bake in over.


Spaghetti Seafood Cabonate (RM18.90). I love this dish as well, very creamy cabonara sauce and 1 slice of over back garlic bread. SUPER GOOD !!! although the dish is simple but El Casa show it skill on a simple dish like this.


Sirloin Steak 180 gm RM28.90)

Pan-Roasted Seabass Fillet with Arrabiata Sauce (RM19.90)

Charcoal Grilled Hawaii ChickenRM13.90)

Home Desserts (RM5.90)


Overall experience here was great, alot of laughter and joy with all my friends. Foods serve were nice. With such a cozy and romantic ambient, I can imagine that this place very suitable for a big group of people to join in.

Invited Review: (Non-halal) You Shan Fine Soup House


Penang lang here we got a new herbal soup restaurant (You Shan Fine Soup House) at Auto World complex, Penang. They are expert in brewing traditional herbal soup. The cook is an experience cook and their advisor, Mr. Chew Hock Eam, a Chinese Physician, has been curing patients for 30 years. He is definitely a trustworthy Traditional Chinese doctor. With both teaming up, i believe they will definitely make more Penang lang healthy :)

The cook not only expert in brewing herbal soup but he is also an expert in Chinese cuisine.

14-May-2011 You Shan Fine Soup House has marked another history in Auto City. Today is their Grand opening.

The restaurant was officially launched on 14 May 2011 by our YB Ms. Betty Chew, wife of the Penang Chief Minister, YB Mr. Lim Guan Eng.

Congratulation to You Shan Fine Soup House for their grand opening and here are their kitchen crew.

If you think they are only serving herbal soup, you are wrong. They serve very good traditional Chinese cuisine as well. There are 60 types of soup but you will need to pre-order 24 hour in advance before dine in. Price range is quite reasonable from RM5 ~ RM68. Don't worry about it, daily they will have 3 soup for you to choose from. So if you want special soup please pre-order. Call 017-488 3400.
