Weissbrau German Bistro & Bar at Straits Quay, Penang recently launched a new menu with a selection of old time favourites and regular customers suggestions. This is a testament of the restaurant's determination to win the heart and tummy of their regulars. And Weissbrau launched the new menu with style and pizazz.

Weissbrau hosted a buffet of the new menu's food favourites and drinks on May 20th and a rendition of song hits by Mad Sally - a hip and contemporary pop band of "Mat Sallehs" who made Malaysia their base and career location, hence their band name Mad Sally representing "Mat Salleh"

I found their new menu exciting with the pork knuckles my favourite. Crispy skin and juicy soft meat underneath it. Other favourites are Flammkuchen with mushroom and light curried chicken (Flammkuchen is like a pizza bread), Pork Ribs, Swiss Mushroom and Cheese Burger, Porcini Mushroom soup, Mushroom on Toast and Jagerschnitzel. The foods at Weissbrau, Straits Quay is brought to you by Pascal Schnyder, a Swiss who have the world of experience to his credits like working at the Dolder Grand in Zurich, The Ramada Renaissance, Hotel Conrad International in Hong Kong and the executive chef at the Pattaya's Dusit Resort. Pascal created the initial menu at Weissbrau and also update the new menu

I found a fantastic way to cool off a hot day at the Quays with Hoegaarden Belgium beer on tap. It is light and refreshing and equally suited to both gender of the sexes. Other beers on tap are Erdinger Weissbier, Franziskanner Dunkel and Leffe Blonde. Each beers offers a different taste to the palate. All the draught biers are served in their unique serving glasses which is both a delight to the taste buds and eyes. Weissbrau also stocks imported German bottled beers like Lowenbrau, Becks, Konid Ludwig and Grolsh.

The service is on par with the upmarket restaurants in the quay but I must make a special commendation to Weissbrau's director Mr Wayne Yoon (wayne@out2dine.com.my) who is constantly on floor to ensure the customers night went on smoothly.

Weissbrau @Strait Quay is one of two. The other is situated at the Pavillion, Kuala Lumpur (Connection Level). The word Weissbrau is a combo of German word "Weiss" for White and "Brau" for Brew which refer to Germany's favourite type of beer.

Looking for authentic German food fare and beers? Look no further than Weissbrau. Now at Straits Quay.
