The Book Sandwich Cafe is a Restaurant and Cafe in the heart of George Town Penang at the Unesco World Heritage Site.
You can either walk in from The Book Sandwish Cafe or The Book Restaurant, it both lead you to the same place as it is connected in the middle, haha !
Our favorite place for Pizza and it is the best Pizza in Penang. The dough is very special and extremely crispy, pizza filling very special and delicious as well.
Yin’s Sourdough Pizza offers Neapolitan style pizza, baked in a stone oven, with a chewy slightly charred crust and ‘soup-y’ center. I had no qualms about the soup-y center and found the chewy crust to be utterly enjoyable. There is a slight tangy taste of the sourdough but not overwhelmingly so. Most enjoyable was the slow cooked tomato paste which married beautifully with the sweet zucchini and eggplants. The usual carnivore in me hardly missed the absence of meat in this vegetarian pizza!
There is so much space at the dining area and the open concept even extends to the open kitchen where you can watch the pizza maestro freshly handcraft your pizza to order. My jaw dropped when I spotted a few Tablets left (securely locked of course) on the long table for visitors to do a spot of casual browsing.
Duck Meat Soup with Vermicelli Noodles , the soup was jam-packed with the meaty flavor from the Duck (though some will define it as gamy) while the Vermicelli Noodles were carefully cooked till the right texture- not slouchy nor hard to the bite. Carnivores will be excited to see the generous serving of meat in this bowl of meat-wholesomeness. Eat it together with their marinated Garlic and Chilies for another different experience, the sour-spicy kick enhances the flavor instead of over-shadowing it. Try to believe.
Vietnam's cuisine is greatly influenced by France, when they introduced us their Ham & Roasted Pork Sanwich , we didn't hesitate to try. The ham they used were homemade and it is very different with the western ham we usually have especially its texture and taste. We find their roasted pork eminently scrumptious, expelling the pork's aroma yet keeping the meat's moisture. They have considerably separated the cilantro in case some find its strong scent intolerable. Or else, you may sandwiched them between the bread.
The drinks is good, i like it .. though i feel that there is too much ice in the Mochaccino but it is still good.
整体上的味道尚算不错,唯一的缺点,就是面包烤得太香脆,让人吃得满桌子都是面包屑!好狼狈呢!
