The light alcoholic Pina Colada was mixed using the original Malibu coconut rum instead of Bacardi. Well, that explains the refreshing taste! We also had our Tequila Sun Rise orange juice mixed with Tequila, the enticing fusion of fresh fruit and alcohol.

Mr. Georgi, the owner of Vintage Bulgaria Restaurant & Bar recommended its pork specialties as the main course, so we gladly agreed. First up, we were served with the Bulgarian Sausage Platter.

After the satisfying sausage platter, we finally had one of the restaurant’s signature dishes, the Crown Roast Pork. Stood about 1 foot tall and weight at a staggering 1.4kg, this roast pork is big enough for 2 persons or more. According to Georgi, Bulgarian’s culture emphasizes a wide selection of tasty grilled or roast meat and roast pork is a case in point. The pork ribs were carefully mixed with the special homemade barbeque sauce sided with creamy mashed potato. Both the dishes were delectable.

Interview with Silviya, co-owner of Vintage Bulgarian Restaurant
Q1. What inspires you to open a Bulgarian cafe in Penang?

Silviya: I’m married to a Penagite, enjoy food, and entertaining. So Vintage Bulgaria combines all three!

Q2. Most of the items in the food menu contain meat as the main course. Would you be coming out with vegetarian recipes in order to cater to vegans and the increasingly health conscious people?

Silviya: Our passion at Vintage Bulgaria is to provide our diners with a Bulgarian culinary experience, so the menu will always reflect traditional ingredients. If we were to change to use different ingredients we would no longer be Vintage Bulgaria.

Q3. Vintage Bulgaria has been in business for about 7 years and the food quality has always been of high standard. What keeps you going in maintaining the standard?

Silviya: Any restaurant’s success is dependent on the quality of its food and to a lesser degree the ambiance. There can be no compromise in quality and this is embedded into the culture in the kitchen and serving staff.

Q4. Most of your staff has good understanding of the food items in the menu that include the ingredients used and how they are prepared. How are they trained?

Silviya: We ensure that our serving staff has an appreciation of what happens in the kitchen and how the food is prepared. Some of the serving staff has in fact worked in the kitchen previously.

Q5. Going forward, do you have any plans to take the restaurant to the next level?

Silviya: What is the next level? We are very happy with how our diners appreciate all our hard work and quality. Our plan is to maintain our high standards and not spoil it by expansion, which has been the death of many restaurants who have lost the focus on quality and service.
