NEWLY REOPENED SWISSOMELT RESTAURANT

 Last year, I blogged about dining at a restaurant in Sitiawan by the very unique name of Swissomelt.  Both Lai Yoong and I stumbled upon this place while we were having dinner at a nearby cafe.  We made it a point to check out the place the next night and found that the food was to our taste.
However we were also told by one of the waitresses that they would be relocating to a new premise later on.    Well, that later on turned out to be yesterday.  Again, it was by chance that the two of us went in to have our dinner on the reopening day for Swissomelt.  Actually we had seen the sign for Swissomelt being put up last week and thought that they had already opened for business then but to our surprise it was the very day that we went.
The deco for the new place was very much different from the former premise.  The former looked more spacious and had a very modern feel.  This new one looks very Englishy and feels more warm and cosy.  Again, the food served was delicious.  Both of us will be going again for dinner in future.
 Here is how the outside of the restaurant looks like.  As it was opening day, there were a few floral gifts to the owners from their friends and relatives.
 I like the green coloured wall for the place.  The green that they have chosen is very calming and soothing.

 Me with two of the three young owners of Swissomelt.  On my right is Mr Tee Chong Yew.  He was formerly a Quality Controller for a construction firm.  The gentleman on my left is Mr Shu Chang Hang who used to be a graphic designer before he ventured into the food and beverage business.  I was told that the third owner is an engineer by qualification.  Wow!  These three professional young men have opted to break free from their careers to take on the challenge of something new.  Good luck to them!

For those of you who are interested to check out the food at Swissomelt, the address is 386 Jalan Lumut, 32000 Sitiawan.  It is along the main road and is located right next to Boston Restaurant.
By the way, this is a pork free restaurant.  I was told that they have yet to apply for a halal certification as they had to quicken the reopening.  Hopefully, they do manage to get the certification and my Muslim friends can come enjoy the yummy food they serve.
