New Mizi Bistro @ Tesco Tanjung Pinang, Penang.

Mizi Bistro made its name with its very first outlet at New World Park.
The first outlet might be small but in my experience, it is congested every time i walk pass it.
According to someone, one of the owners is actually an ex-hotelier while the head chef comes from a 5 star hotel.
Every restaurant has its distinctive signature dish and for Mizi Bistro, it is their Mushroom Soup.
It has been half a year since my last visit to that outlet.
I was quite surprised that Mizi Bistro extended their business by establishing a new outlet at Tesco Tanjung Pinang.

My other half and i had a look over the menu and have noticed that the old RM16.90 or RM19.90 set lunch no longer exists.
The new price for set meal which includes a soup, main course, drinks and free flow of ice cream is already RM25.
However, you could only choose your desired main course which is classified as Pasta, Poultry, Seafood, Eggs, Sandwiches, Vegetarian or Salad.
Extra RM6 will be charged based on A La Carte price if you select from the Meat, Chef's Specialities or Smoked Salmon.

I have got no comment on the peach tea and mango juice.

The mushroom soup was served along with bread and butter cubes.
Living up to its reputation, the soup was simply amazing.
The richness, thickness, creaminess and amout of mushroom thrown in helped to achieve its superiority.
You really have to try it, 'take it to love it'!

For your information, my other half is always a fan of Lagsane and she went for the Lasagne Al Forno which came in a medium big portion.
Credits to Google, i found out that Al Forno simply means at/from the oven.
The wide, flat pasta was baked before being eventually sandwiched among Bechamel sauce, Bolognese sauce and Parmesan cheese.
Besides that, ground chicken, black pepper, tomato were mixed in.
The delicious meaty lasagna was partially flooded with white cream sauce and drops of greenish herb oil.
With accordance to my other half, the Lasagna alone tasted plain but the total combination created a very unique pleasant taste.
Still, the Lasagna was not firm and compact enough which consequences in the lack of texture quality.

Well, i had the big-portioned seashell-shaped Seafood Casseroles.
A casserole can be defined as a dish which is used in oven and as a serving vessel.
As you can see, there was a vast quantity of fish, prawns, mussels, squid and mushroom.
Ground almonds and herbed crumb were sprinkled throughout the dish, accompanied by rice ball, sliced carrot, green and white broccoli.
Taste wise, it was extraordinary with a little flick between sweet and sour.
Anyhow, i felt that it was excessively salty as a result of the cheese added , i guess.
I really have to emphasise on the super fresh sliced squid which left us mistaking it for abalone slice.

It was dessert time and you can enjoy the different flavours of ice cream as much as you could.
I think it is not necessary to review the ice cream there.

The service was a bit slow and i did ask for Tabasco sauce but my request got no reply at all.
Nevertheless, the politeness of the service crew cancels out these issues.
The meal cost us RM50 which means that the prices stated in the menu are not subject to tax.
From my point of view, the place is cozy subtracting the ugly ceiling pipes and the glass door which permits burning dazzling irritating sunlight to enter.
They really need to splash the cash on covering the pipes and installing a curtain.
Other than that, Tesco kept using the mall PA system to promoto their stuffs.
The voices were really annoying especially when i was enjoying my food.
