Toss it high to the sky, for a prosperous year at Eastin Hotel Penang! (13 January 2017)


Hock ah! Ong ah! Huat ah!

Early reservations enjoy a 15% discount if full payment is received by 15 January, 2017.

In addition to the in-house meals, Eastin Hotel has also made available its Yee Sang Take-Away. There are four versions, namely the Fresh Fruit Yee Sang (RM128), Salmon Fillet Yee Sang (RM158), Abalone Yee Sang (RM188) and the Double Treasure Yee Sang (RM198).

Eastin Hotel CNY 2017 Food Review

My wife and I joined a large group of bloggers to a review of Eastin Hotel's Chinese New Year buffet. The hotel has put together a carefully selected combination of dishes to give bloggers the chance to appreciate what is to be offered during the Chinese New Year season.

We started the food review session when Eastin Hotel General Manager Mr Justin Chew invited a group of us to join them in tossing the Yee Sang. The restaurant team at Eastin Hotel has brilliantly created a rooster mural of the Yee Sang. This must be a hermaphrodite rooster, for it has laid two golden eggs! I felt it a pity to demolish the Yee Sang picture. But toss it we did, with wishes of good business and great prosperity for Eastin Hotel Penang.

The buffet was delicious. I particularly enjoyed the scallops, the Yee Foo Mee and the slipper lobsters. I was supposed to be on diet, but who cares, dieting can wait! The pastries were out of this world too. Of all the different cakes, I liked the one that has peanut butter in it - I didn't manage to get its name though.

All in all, it was good food and great company. This is the first time ever that Eastin Hotel Penang has invited me to their food review. I do look forward to attending future ones and writing about them.

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
