On the gathering night, due to overwhelming respond asking for the menu which served to us blogger, the owner decided to make it standardize for that night menu. What we have is what the walk in customer going to eat.
The menu were tailored for this event and readers get to enjoy what we had that night. When I reach the restaurant, it was full house! There are beef, chicken, fish and porks in the menu. All were my favorites. I opt for something which more authentic Bulgarian home style which is their Bulgarian Platter which comes with mixed grill trio kebapche, kyofte and karnatche (Traditional Recipe Home Made Bulgarian Sausages and pork fillet).
Before I show you the main course part, I am going to show you our soup for a start.
Mushroom soup served with Vintage Garlic Bread
I arrive a bit late due to the traffic jam. When I arrive, I place an order for this soup but I guess the waiter forgotten about it. So I can’t comment about this dish.
Bulgarian Pork Djolan (Traditional Roasted Pork Knuckle)
This is a must order for pork lovers. Unlike German and Chinese style where they deep fry the pork knuckle, Bulgarian roast it. It is roasted until look like char siew. The skins were crunchy and the meat are succulent. I get to try this because CK pass me some as she can’t finish it. Thanks CK! The meat is good on its own without the side BBQ sauce that came with it.
Chicken Stroganov (Boneless chicken drumstick cut into strips. Then cooked with mushroom, wine, cream, herbs and spices)
Bulgarian Platter (mixed grill trio kebapche, kyofte and karnatche. Traditional Recipe Home Made Bulgarian Sausages and pork fillet)
The meat patty taste almost like our ordinary Ramly burger patty but with more juice inside. The sausage too taste very home made. Unlike the normal sausages the meats were not totally mashed and you still can the meat bits. They didn’t blend it too fine and hence the texture still remains.
Plovdiv Ribs (Tasty pork ribs grilled till tender)
I didn’t get to taste this one as no one on my table that order this dish. Mostly went for the pork knuckle and the platter. If you wanna know how it taste, checkout Cariso’s food post on the same event.
Baked COD Fish Served With Creamy Mushroom Sauce
I didn’t have the chance to test this one either. Checkout Cariso’s food post on the same event. That’s all for the main course and let’s checkout the dessert.
We were introduced to 2 of their house famous dessert which chocolate lover couldn’t resist. The first one is the Chocolate Brulee. Eggs with Chocolate and caramelized sugar on top …… Yummy!
See the inner texture beneath the caramelized layer …… smooth as silk baby!
Next were the most ordered that night which is the chocolate soup. Imagine a big glass of hot milo dinosaur with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on it. It drive me nuts just by thinking of it. I wish I can try on the event but I was a bit out of appetite due to the travel and session in Penang.
See the ice cream melting away to cool down the chocolate
