Sorry for the lack of updates recently. I have been really tied up with my day time job building websites and email hosting for people. Last week, I flew back to Penang to attend the 4th annual Food Blogger Gathering organized by fellow blogger Alan Choong and Allie. The 1st gathering was attended by mere less than 10 persons. Then the second one was 25 at Edelweiss Swiss Restaurant follow by the third one around 30 for pot luck style gathering.
This round it was held at Vintage Bulgaria Restaurant at Tanjung Bungah.
I think this restaurant would be the first Bulgarian Restaurant in Malaysia if not mistaken. Bulgarian food were almost similar to German where they serve pork trotter as main course. The restaurant comes in 3 level sittings. The lower part is the part you see upon step in.
The entrance
Lowest level sitting
Bulgarian Style Decorations
2nd Level sitting where most people sit here to chill out
For this event, the management reserve the whole 3rd floor just for the gathering. They also print a banner for us to mark our event.
This is where all of us were seated
