Chinese New Year and Valentine Day is coming soon! This year Eastin Hotel Penang offers delightful dinner buffet menu in Swez Brasserie to tempt your appetite during this festive season. To celebrate the year of monkey, it was well decorated with all the Chinese festive elements. Check out the promotion flyers at the end of the post!

What caught my attention the most is the choices of seafood available on ice! Eastin Hotel Penang provides fresh seafood like snow crabs, scallops, mussels, slipper lobsters, prawns and so on. Look at the amount and you know that it would be a eat-all-you-can big feast! Besides that, sashimi such as salmon, butter fish and octopus are available too.

After all the raw seafood, you can continue with cold platters, cheese platters and salads. Among all of them, smoked salmon platter was done delicately into rose shapes. Compared to our last few visits, the food presentation now in Eastin Hotel Penang is much more appealing!

Since it's celebration for Chinese New Year, Yee Sang is what you cannot missed out! Thankfully, Eastin Hotel Penang does offers Yee Sang too with different ingredients that up for you to choose. The variation includes Abalone Yee Sang, Salmon Fillet Yee Sang, Jelly Fish Yee Sang and even Fresh Fruits Yee Sang or Organic Vegetables Yee Sang for those health conscious person!

Here comes the main dishes which I felt that they have improved a lot in terms of taste and presentation. Their main dishes are no longer those predictable one but instead with some nice name such as Romeo Sour Curry Fish, Wok Fried Tiger Prawns with Salted Egg Gravy, Pan Fried Fish with Saffron Sauce, Creamy Mixed Seafood with Cheese, Curry Leaf Thai Sweet Kapar, Juliet Coconut Squid and Tandoori Lamb Chop with Cucumber Raita. Among all the main dishes, Creamy Mixed Seafood with Cheese is our favorite.

With the new executive sous chef, Chef Johnno Fong, I believe he did bring the buffet dinner to a higher level with uniqueness of food. After all, with so many other buffet dinner options in Penang, it's all about differentiation, given the competitive business environment.

Arang Coffee @ Bayan Lepas, Penang

Henry Tan | 5:32 PM | | 27 Comments so far
Hi there~~ Have you noticed there is a new cozy cafe in Bayan Lepas area? Arang Coffee is located at the shoplots right beside the Olive Tree Hotel. As we know cafe businesses are booming in Penang, however, people like us working and living in the Bayan Lepas area are still wishing to have more cafes for us to hang out without having to drive all the way to Georgetown and suffer the jam. 

Well, here're the reasons why I will re-visit Arang Coffee: good service (FOC free-flow lemon water), attentive and friendly waitress, nice ambience, good wifi connection, NO service charge and NO GST.

Chicken Parmigiana is cornflakes crusted chicken leg topped with cheese, the portion was BIG and it tasted good! The outer layer of chicken was thin and crispy and the meat was juicy. However, we don't fancy their roasted potatoes as it were a bit hard or should I say under-cooked? Overall it was a delicious dish, but I would request to change the roasted potatoes to fries next time :P

Chicken Parmigiana - RM 20 

We like their Smoked Duck Burrito! It comes with fries and salad. The burrito is full of thick smoked duck slices, cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese and turkey ham.

We like their Grilled Chicken & Cheese Sandwich too! It comes with fries and salad as well. The crispy toasted wholemeal breads were successfully made a simple sandwich not that simple. In addition, I think the chicken and cheese ingredients were great too!

Squid ink pasta isn't something new to me, I personally think the taste was average and the portion was a bit small.

Arang Coffee offers variety type of crepe cakes, all are selling at RM 11. Nowadays, crepe cakes are very common in Penang. Maybe that's the reason I wasn't impressed by their cakes, it tasted not bad though..
