While Penang does convey a fair portion of Vietnamese nutrient joints, it is non mutual to detect a eatery that serves Indo-China cuisine (Laotian, Cambodian together with Vietnamese). Indochine Cafe is likely the showtime eatery that does together with then inwards Penang, the newly opened eatery settled inwards a semi-detached identify at Jalan Hashim, correct adjacent to Hotel Sentral Seaview (formerly known as Naza Talyya Penang). Once nosotros were ushered inwards together with seated, the friendly proprietor approached us fast together with introduced us to the menu. The Indo-China delicacies-focused card is extensive together with covers unopen to of the countries' highlights. But the al-fresco atmosphere at the eatery is as interesting- homey, harmony withal amongst a feel of elegance. We dearest the diverseness hither but somehow the flavors did non quite hitting us, they were perfectly fine but lacked the wow component to lure us back.
Barbecue Laotian Chicken (Rm 16)
Barbecue Pork Ribs (Rm 18)
Barbecue Cuttlefish (Rm 18)
Vietnamese Beef Pho (Rm 16)
Thai Pork Hor Fun (Rm 16)
Thai Mango Salad (Rm 8)
We were nearly impressed amongst the nutrient presentation, at to the lowest degree they convey made proficient endeavor inwards ensuring their dishes looked palatable. We started off amongst Thai Mango Salad, a piddling odd as compared to those constitute inwards Thai restaurants, withal delicious inwards its ain way. The Mangoes were definitely to a greater extent than fibrous together with refreshing but it lacked the spiciness. Unlike Thai Mango Salad, it was non heavily dressed amongst Fish Sauce together with Sugar; it was perfectly low-cal together with fruity, simply the agency nosotros like.
The Thai Pork Hor Fun was alright, it possessed the delightful charred odour but it was overly greasy to our liking. The Malaysian inwards us wanted to dyad the Hor Fun amongst Sambal together with Indochine Cafe's Sambal sure did non alive upward to our expectation. The Vietnamese Beef Pho was null out of the ordinary either, it lacked the "X" component together with they could hold out to a greater extent than generous amongst the Herbs (Lime was missing either).

While their Hor Fun together with Pho did non shine, nosotros idea the barbecue goods were toothsome. The barbecued Cuttlefish was particularly lip-smacking, it was lightly grilled together with seasoned. The edges carried a delightful burned odour piece the texture was slightly resilient, it was best to dip amongst the Lime-Pepper-Salt concoction. The Chicken together with Ribs did non disappoint, they were beautifully marinated (with Turmeric, Ginger, Lemongrass etc) together with grilled to perfection; served amongst unopen to Thai Mango Salad together with Glutinous Rice.
