Brewster’s @ Old Town in Ipoh – Relocating soon to Greentown

Interior of the restaurant – The stools made long meals not as pleasant. But the bistro/cafe/bar-like ambience suits a casual dining eatery to a tee.

Brewster’s Restaurant in old town of Ipoh might have not piqued many people’s interest for the location was not as strategic, nor in the midst of a trading hub. Hence news has it that they’re relocating soon to a new premise in Greentown, tentatively opening in September of 2010.

Previous experiences at Brewster’s proved to be mediocre; or maybe it was because I usually went for the lunch sets (RM18/USD5.50++ exclusive of drinks). But they do take pride in their pizzas, spare ribs, crispy pork knuckle, pasta and such. Read on to find out more ….. Read the rest of this entry »

Guess what? It’s PORK-free …

Iced White Coffee

Assam Seafood with Rice

Mixed Grill Set

Glutinous Rice Ball in Warm Soya Bean Milk

Due to overwhelming workload today, (doesn’t happen a lot, actually, so might as well savour those moments, haha …) we skipped breakfast, but paid the price by suffering through hunger pangs for hours. In the end, we went for lunch a bit earlier (roughly 1/2 hr only la) ,but came to the indecisive point, as usual, on where to go. Results? Same old safe choice, Mixed Cuisine, located at Padang Ipoh, Old Town. It’s at the same row with Old Town Kopitiam, Ice Ice Baby, and Momo Steamboat Cafe.

I had the Mixed Grill Set (RM11.90+), came with a drink (choice:7Up, White Coffee, Honey Sea Coconut, Fruit Juice etc) & a dessert (choice:pudding, ice-cream or tang yuen in soya bean milk). Frenz had Assam Seafood Rice, Cincaru Seafood Rice, & Orange Chicken Rice (pic blurry la, so din post here, sorry?)

The last time i had the Grill, it came with beef fillet, but this time around, only chicken and lamb provided, with a chicken sausage. Oh they provide various choices for sauces, eg. Mushroom, Black Pepper, Mongolian (BEST!), Rosemary, Red Wine (add RM2) & Mint(for lamb only). I chose Rosemary today, fairly satisfactory, not too watery or salty, and went reli well with the meat. Sides of mashed potatoes, coleslaw & toasted butter garlic bread. The cincaru seafood rice was tasty, came with prawns, fish, squids, onions, petai, long beans & ladies fingers. Spicy and sour enough, but not overwhelming.Goes reli well with white rice. Assam seafood on the other hand, cannot do judgment la… tried one small tiny spoonful of gravy only … 🙁 Orange chicken looked nice, but not sure bout the taste. Dessert was good, warm soya bean milk, with 2 tang yuen (glutinous rice ball) stuffed with peanut, and black pearls (those used in concoction of Taiwan Bubble Tea).

Overall, meal was considered cheap, and satisfying … then it was time to work again … sigh.

Lamb Pie

Fillings of black pepper lamb chunks, carrots, onions, & mushroom

Dinner was simple lamb pie from Secret Recipe (RM6), as mum had discount for some reason i dunno. Guess she’s close to the waitress or manager or whoever. Who’s complaining? 🙂

Filling was not reli generous, but quite filling, and tasty, though by the time i get to chomp this, it was slightly cold. Still has a slice of cake waiting for me in the fridge …. muahaha ….
