Penang 2011 - Christmas Eve Dinner
We landed in Penang on Christmas Eve, and one of the things I was trying to pre-arrange was our Christmas Eve Dinner knowing most places would have been booked out. I have already picked the place we wanted to dine at, unfortunately they do not take bookings and was strictly first come first serve only - despite my pleading via email and on their Facebook Page. Fearing that we might end up with no place to eat on a Christmas Eve, we went to the restaurant half an hour earlier. Luckily they were already open.
The restaurant is called Soul Kitchen, located on Muntri Street which is not far from our hotel. It is run by a German-Malaysian husband and wife team. I have read many good things about it and it was on the top of my Penand food list.
They had a 4 Course Christmas Set Dinner which looked really good and we settled on that. We ordered a pizza for the kids. The Set Dinner came with and Italian Starter, a Seafood Soup, Roast Pork Loin, and Dessert.
The Starter was excellent. All the four items were very well prepared and really tasty. We wished there was more.
The Seafood Soup was also very nice - it had chunks of fresh fish meat and was made with a good fish stock.
The Roast Pork was truly excellent. So tender and juicy, and marinated with beautiful flavours. The accompanying side dishes were also no slouch - the roasted vegies were very flavourful, tender potato gratin, and a dried tomato compote. This is true soul food.
Pizza for the kids. Very good.
After all the great preceeding courses, the dessert had a hard act to follow. It was a Strawberry Mascorpone Panna Cotta. A good finish to the meal with a good coffee.
Christmas Eve in Penang was surprisingly low key. We expected the place to be packed - given the great food and good value, but there were only 3 tables occupied with ample tables to spare. No wonder they did not feel necessary to take bookings.
This small but cosy place served the best food we had on our trip. If you are in Penang now - don’t miss it.
