Merry Christmas 2010 and Some Lovely Photos

 

Above is a picture taken in Penang of red and green Christmas theme with red candles and poinsettias and spiky green Christmas leaves. Today is Christmas Eve on the 24th December 2010 and I will be spending most of the time later on travelling for a short break.

 

This is a nice Christmas tree taken locally with wrapped up presents, golden bells and baubles to decorate the otherwise bland tree.

Here is another shot of a different Christmas tree with Santa's cap right at the top instead of a star!

 

This was the high tea we had recently at 1885 Restaurant in E & O hotel. Since my friend is a member, we used up the free voucher before it expires at the end of the year.

 

Part of the high tea with sandwiches and buns. I had orange cream tea which came in a pot. It was simply flavorful and I loved the hint of orange peel in it. Well, that's it for now. Merry Christmas 2010 and Happy New Year 2011.

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.
