This is an invited review by Foodtok.com to Santorini Cafe. Because of the name Santorini, I've always wanted to pay a visit to temporarily satisfy my desire of travelling to Greece... such a romantic name for a cafe. This was my first outing with the Penang top floggers (food bloggers)~ Super fun!! And this officiates Princess Cheryl as a member of Penang food blogger community. Yeah~~
We were amazed that with so many items we tried during the food tasting, there were still loads more in the menu to be explored. In brief, this is a place worth visiting if you would like to try different varieties of home-cook meal (no MSG). I like the relaxing ambiance where most of the walls are colored blue. I believe it is also a cozy spot for chit chats in the afternoon.
Now, the food.
From left:
Santorini Signature Coffee (Cold RM6.00; Hot RM5.00) - Coffee for anyone.
Thirst Quencher (RM5.00) - Mixed of red plum and some other fruits.
Santorini Chocolate (RM5.50) - You may start guessing if it's Milo/Ovaltine/Vico/Oligo...
Let me start with the oriental choices first -- the rice and noodles.
Santorini Cracker (RM4.90) - Referred as Pok pok chui which is one of the popular finger food/snacks from Kampar.
Santorini Drunken Mee Suah (RM6.90) - Wheat Vermicelli cooked in thick base soup with seafood and egg. It's not as sticky and as thick as stew like the Mee Suah Kor, but in between soup and stew.
Santorini Kampar Yue Wat Soup (RM5.90) - Unlike fish balls, "yue wat" are not specifically shaped. These are home made "yue wat" prepared by one of the lady bosses who is from Kampar. The soup is superb, sweet yet no fishy odor.
Santorini Seaweed Fried Rice (RM6.90) - For those who love seaweed, this is quite a good choice. Garnished with bonito flakes.
Santorini OH! mama with rice (RM8.90) - Chicken cooked in sweet soy sauce and some secret ingredients. Served with rice.
Santorini Butterine Mantis Prawn Rice (RM7.90) - This dish comes in 3 choices of meat: Chicken, Fish or Mantis Prawn. Oriental delight.
Santorini Fish Sauce Bee Hoon (RM5.90) - Fried rice Vermicelli with fish sauce (鱼露). Particularly a common seasoning in Asian cuisine (Thai, Vietnam, Chinese and Korean cuisine). According to the owner, this dish was learned from Sarawak.
Enough of Asian food? Now let's see what they have for western food...
Santorini Potato Salad (RM5.00) - Potato in cubes and slightly mashed with mayonnaise dressing and a sprinkle of paprika.
Oat Fish Chop (RM12.90) - Another western delight. Had enough of traditional fish-n-chips? Try this.
Mix Grill (RM20.90) - All time favorite! Lamb, chicken, sausage, ham and egg.
Santorini Coffee Chicken Chop (RM13.90) - Ooo... I smell coffee. It's a 2-in-1 combo for coffee lover, feed yourself with caffeine while munching the fried chicken chop. The dressing blends well too.
Her-Mus-Ney Chicken Chop (RM11.90) - My favorite and most recommended dish of the night. I simply love the special mix honey mustard sauce served with grilled chicken chop. This is the typical sauce for western food, popular choice in the USA, Caucasians don't take that much of chili/tomato sauce like we Asians do.
Last but not least.... dessert time!
Wonder Box (RM6.00) - Ice cream stuffed in a "bread-box", topped with chocolate chips and watermelon. So beautiful. And colorful. Does it make you feel happy before you even eat it?

Too bad, now all the western food served in Santorini does not come with french fries.
