Family Dinner

Every time my parents and sister come back to Penang, we will pay our usual visit to a little restaurant called Mario's Ristorante in Batu Ferringhi. We had stumbled upon it quite by accident about 10 years ago and we have never failed to go there regularly ever since.

So we decided to go there again last night. Baby Hannah was a good girl and stayed home with Daddy so Mummy could go out and have a nice dinner :)

Mario's serves primarily Italian food, but they do have other western dishes such as lamb chop, grilled fish etc. and they even have Mexican fajitas as well.

Since we were such regular customers, we had garlic bread for starters, complimentary of the restaurant.



We also ordered bruschetta, which is bread topped with fresh tomatoes and herbs.



While waiting for the food, we took some family photos.


My sis and me - do we look alike?

Our drinks came soon after that.

For the main course, we had tiger prawn thermidor (yummy!), linguine aglio olio and spaghetti marinara. The portions are quite big so three main coursewas enough for the four of us. Moreover, the tiger prawn thermidor was meant for two persons. All the food was very very good.

Finally, for dessert, we had crepes suzette, which is a pancake served with orange sauce and vanilla ice cream.



It was a good family dinner. Looking forward to going there again! :)
