We're here for the Christmas Platter ( which is available up till 31st of December ) and upon placing our order , we were told that we would have to wait between 30 to 45 minutes for it to be prepared , so were we ok with that ?
Of course we said yes .
You won't regret it .
This platter has tasty , carefully selected varieties ....it's definitely a celebratory meal that is worth the wait .
Most items are baked instead of being deep fried , so I guess extra time is needed cos they don't believe in pre-lining up orders fast food style , hence it shows that they place more emphasis on our satifsfaction rather than profits or faster table turnover first . Great news for us foodies !
Bacon sausages , half a roast chicken , half a Belgian style pork knuckle , baked cheese prawns ( mmmmm mmmmmm soooo darned good ) , sauerkraut , baked potatoes with sour cream and meant for 3 to 4 pax ,the portioning was more than adequate and filled our small party to the brim .
My favourite out of everything offered on the board was the cheese baked prawn . I kept it to the end and salvaged every morsel off the shell !
Also could not get enough of the gelatinuous sinewy ligaments on the knuckle ....that was particularly more flavourful and I truly savoured every bit , the crackling skin was crisp till the end of our meal , and believe me we take a really long time to chow down . The sausages were divine , the encased stuffing just fell out beautifully each time the knife went in .
Jacket potatoes were delightful , the sour cream was still cold and if you cut into the potatoes , there would still be steam coming out . Yumm yummm yummmsss .
Burps ! You'll walk away from the meal with a happy tummy , and a huge smile just like I did here today .
At MYR 168 nett , it is not only a value for money festive option , based on the taste alone , the chef has some serious skill that beats many 4 and 5 star hotels in Penang already .
In case you're wondering , how exactly does one consume all the above and get away with it ?
Always order an extra serving of sauerkraut . It'll do the rest for ya .
Merry Christmas folks !
