Penang 2nd Food Blogger Gathering at Edelweiss Cafe

Written by Nicholas Chan on September 29, 2008 – 7:57 pm -

Last weekend, I’ve attended a food blogger gathering at Edelweiss Cafe, a swiss restaurant at Armenian Street. If you know about me, I do have a food blog, I love to eat, I love to shoot and so I share what I eat and some food pr0n at SHIOK OR NOT - The Food Blog. I recommend you to visit it when you are hungry. Haha.

It’s the 2nd food blogger gathering, thanks to Lingzie for organizing it and Criz for informing me about this event. I missed the first one at Hai Nan Town, and I couldn’t be missing the second one again. Actually I have event that evening but at last minute it canceled and only then I could go to this food blogger gathering. I tagged along Yiphing and Alvin Yang with me.

It’s a small place, approximately local food bloggers and some guest attended this gathering. I get a starter, main course, dessert, coffee and a little door gift by paying RM38. It’s not that bad, once in a while is okay. It starts of with a little introduce-yourself thing by going round. I wore my NICKCHAN.NET shirt and it seems like people are liking it. Thank you.

I got to know about some other food bloggers that I’ve never heard before and also met the famous 5xmom who makes money through blogging.

It’s a little gathering where people sit down on a round table, eat, talk and exchange ideas. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to know all, but at least I made friends.

Food was pretty good, it was my first time eating out at Edelweiss and if there’s a chance, I’ll go there again. My mom and dad don’t fancy swiss food and so I’ve to look for friends.

It was a nice experience eating out with other food bloggers and given me a chance to expose myself to the real world instead of just sitting in front of the computer screen. Thanks Lingzie for taking me home and Shi Hui for the brownie.
