Amelie Cafe

Many had written about Amelié Café that located in the historical town – the Armenian Street. What caught my attention and eager to find out what do they have when I first read Lingzie’s post. I kept bugging hubby to bring me there, well, he should know the place pretty well, not because of anything, because he’s a native Penangite and he knows all the streets in town.

The 1st visit with hubby honestly I was thrilled, and it’s full of surprises, and the 2nd visit that I have was basically with my other 2 buddies. The 2nd visit was merely pleasant and enjoyable moment. So, I would conclude this place is full of surprises yet pleasant and also tranquilizing.

I remember during the 1st visit, I got to know a lot of history about Penang, about Armenian Street. How would this name came about? And got to know many of Malaya’s Armenians came from the country around New Julfa, Isfahan, in what was then Persia, today’s Iran. This location had been a thriving Armenian trading settlement since the 16th century (sauce: The E&O Hotel – Pearl of Penang by Ilsa Sharp).

Honestly this place is full of surprises in a sense that they fully recycle that needs to be, for example, glasses for drinks, they used jam bottle. Even plates, some looked pretty old, but they still used it to serve dishes. Cups and saucer is not matching at all, perhaps another re-cycle product. Chairs and tables were also recycle… I could see school chair during my time. I was very excited sitting on it.

Wooden tables, baskets that hanging to store fruits, etc. To me these are creative ideas and also environmental friendly too. Looking at the flower pots are not those fancy pots, but using cooking pot to plant plants, or mints herbs.

That’s why when my buddies suggested for a gathering, without second thought I recommended this place to them. First of all, the price is definitely reasonable, and the food is very home cooked feel. Though the place is rather small, can only cater 4 tables, but it’s definitely a place for a nice homely meal.

In fact, when I 1st came, I thought this couple must have been to overseas and now decide to return home for good. To my surprise, the down to earth Yen told me that they both have not been to any overseas countries before. And I got to know from other bloggers that she’s a journalist too. A café that only open since 6 months ago could gain such a reputable feedback from tourists, bloggers and many Penangites, think that’s nothing go wrong with it.
