Weissbräu German Bistro & Bar at Straits Quay, Penang, launched its new menu to a group of invited bloggers, media, patrons and a star-studded group of friends on last Friday night, 20th May 2011.
The overview of the Al Fresco Dining
On this special night, we were delighted to savor the food sampling of the new menu items prepared by Chef Pascal. For Korean Born Pascal Schnyder, he is well-known as the "Executive Chef Level" for a select range of restaurants. For instant, Chef Pascal created the initial menu for Weissbräu and has been actively involved in the restaurants evolution, both in Kuala Lumpur and Penang. Besides, Chef Pascal has been trying for months revitalising Weissbräu's menu in order to create new dishes which can reflect the fusion of cultures, ingredients and cooking styles.
Food Sampling
New specialities on the menu include a selection of homemade fresh and smoked sausages, Hungarian Beef Goulash, new variations on Schnitzel, whole baked spring chicken, and salmon or red schnapper in Riesling wine cream, amongst a new selection of sandwiches and Bavarian burgers.
Besides the tasty food, there were free flow of beers for the honoured guests. The list of beers available at Weissbräu includes Erdinger, Hoegaarden, Franziskaner and Leffe Blonde are available on tap while imported bottled beer such as Lowenbrau, Becks, Konid Ludwig, Grolsch are served chilled. The usual one includes Carlsberg, Tuborg and Royal Stout. Weissbräu also offers a good range of spirits, liqueurs and wine.
On top of the food sampling, specially hired Malaysia band, Mad Sally lightened up the night with their songs comprise of Jazz, Pop, party tunes and a well-known chinese song "Ai De Jiu Shi Ni" 爱的就是你 by Wang Lee Hom. This live band comprises of five members, is led by Charles Yew Han Baker from British and Chinese-Malaysian Heritage. While the band was said to be an all male musical band, they do have a great female vocal, Lakshmi Appadorai, who would once in a while perform along with the band upon the crowd's request.
