Dined at Various Places in Penang

Above is black herbal jelly as part of a set order for dinner in Food & Tea Restaurant in Gurney Plaza, Penang. The jelly was soft with hints of herbal taste and is one of the free items apart from soup for any main dish order.

This is a shot of cheese baked lobster, though it was partially burnt on the top being over cooked but nevertheless tasted yummy. The food was ordered in a new food cafe along Macalister Road opposite De Happy Cafe that is well known for it seafood.

The stir-fried chicken with vegetables in yam basket garnished with fried vermicelli and spring onions was not too bad and we had this in a small food cafe in Subang Jaya. The food was served piping hot fresh from the kitchen with 3 cooks working hard during dinner time.

This is mango snow mountain with shaved ice topped with mango slices, syrup and jelly. It was ordered from Food & Tea in Gurney Plaza, an upmarket lifestyle shopping mall in Penang.

This photo was taken during my dinner at Royal Hotel's Japanese Buffet section. The small helping comes with fresh rock oyster on the left and 2 cooked prawns on the right. The lemon helps to remove the fishy taste of the fresh oyster.

Above is Swensen's ice cream to de-stress. I was feeling quite stressed up lately due to personal matters and decided to order ice cream to cool down the senses. It was rejuvenating with the white cream on top of a scoop of chocolate and another scoop of coffee flavored ice cream.

Dessert at Royal Hotel's Buffet Dinner

Here are some of the photos taken during a buffet dinner at Royal Hotel in Penang. Royal Hotel was formerly known as Dorsett Hotel which has been taken over by a Singaporean. Don't the dessert above look tempting? I have to be careful not to indulge in too much rich food to keep my weight constant.



Here are some of the fruits served on the buffet table. Fruits are rich in anti-oxidants and vitamins. They are not so fattening compared to the desserts laid out.



This is a nice set of dessert photos beautifully laid out for the diners. Before anyone eat them out, I took the opportunity to snap this photo.



Here is my selection of dessert taken by me that consists of cream puff - my favourite and tiramisu in a glass.



Another shot of more desserts.



Yummy chocolate cake topped with fruits.



Nice apple pudding before anyone else scoop out a slice and spoil the shot. Hope you enjoyed the food photos put together as much as I enjoyed displaying them here in my blog.

2009 Christmas Buffet Dinner at a Hotel in Penang

Above is a snapshot of small plastic reindeer as part of the dessert I had during 2009 Christmas buffet dinner at a hotel in Penang. The buffet dinner was sumptious with so many varieties of salad, meat, fish, seafood like slipper lobster, fresh scallops, cod fish, raw salmon, etc and cooked main Chinese meals to choose from. You click on the Play button below to view the slideshow of the 12 photos taken during the buffet dinner with my family and friends.



The was a big variety of fresh fruits like cut mango, watermelon, seedless grapes, oranges, etc. There was an even bigger repertoire of dessert with so many cute decorations of reindeers, santa claus made from icing sugar, Christmas characters, and the like. Overall, the meal was worth the money though it was not cheap. And they especially hike up the price during Christmas. Hope you will enjoy the slide show as much as I enjoy putting them together.
