A new restaurant in town and this time it is the first Bulgarian Cuisine ever in Penang. Located just next to Ingolf's Kniepe German Restaurant in Tanjung Bungah (hillside) Vintage Bulgaria sure stands out for its unique restaurant setting which feels all so cozy inside.
Place is opened every day between 12 to 10.30pm. We were so early today that we had to wait for about 20 minutes before we could get in.
So this is what we ordered.
For starters we tried out the Shepard's Salad.
It was something different. It had cucumbers, tomato, ham, mushroom, olives, cheese and the special salad sauce mixed together with pieces of hard boiled eggs.

Mushroom Soup.
We wanted to try out the Shkembe Chorba which was the tripe soup, but to our luck it was sold out today. So we ended up ordering the mushroom soup. Soup was ok for us. Nothing wow about it.

Main meals ordered were all meaty dishes, and this is what we had.
Plovdiv Ribs
Pork ribs were marinated well and then grilled. Serving portions were reasonable big. meat was nice and tender, but you have to eat this with your hands. Rather hard to cut out using your knife. All dishes were accompanied with boiled potatoes, cauliflower, broccoli and carrots. Ribs were tasty indeed. Something totally different from the regular BBQ ribs I have tried.

Platter Bulgaria
It had 3 types of meats served for this dish. Sausages (2) which had a strong herb and pepper taste was pretty good. Meat patties that were tasty and the pork fillet which had a strong bacon taste was really good. Not quite sure whether the sausages and meat patties were beef or pork or perhaps mixture of both. but it was good. A real hearty meat platter.

Steak Bulgaria (Pork)
You can choose to have Pork or chicken for this. But we tried out the pork instead. A bit dry inside but had a good marinated taste to it. Good thing it came with topped with a creamy mushroom sauce to help on the dryness.

Then for dessert we ordered a Baklava and Creme Caramel.
Baklava is a sweet Bulgarian dessert pastry which has nuts in it. The pastry is drenched in syrup and makes it all very sweet. It was something new for us, but we found the pastry a bit too hard and rubbery. Had a hard time cutting it.

This was absolutely gorgeous.

See the barbarians at work with their pork ribs. Ed, my Dad and Mum
And this is the outcome of the hard work done.
Good place to check out when your wallets are full. The meal today cost us RM 188. A bit pricy though. But perhaps take it as an experience and enjoy the cosy environment. If I do come back here again, I would probably got for the Plovdiv Ribs again.
Oh they do have set lunch for only RM28 which comes with a soup, main meal and dessert. probably more worth it if your on a budget.

Believe me, the place is new and cozy. The soup was recommended by the waiter and certainly, it tasted like mouthwash. The food is so salty and tasteless. Maybe, that's what and how the Bulgarian eat their food.
No big deal! Next door, Ingoff is so much better if you ask for my opinion.
