Preview of Hotel Equatorial Penang's Chinese New Year menu

I am thrilled to have a chance to give Hotel Equatorial Penang's Chinese New Year menu a "test drive" before the actual date. On arrival at the hotel, I was warmly received by Alyssa Abdul, the Assistant Marcom Manager, and Elle Affzal, the Marcom Executive. Later on, we were received by Rina Mariani, the Executive Assistant Manager for Sales & Marketing and Room Division. All of them made us feel so at home.

The food for this preview were the handiwork of Chef Lai, Chef Steve and Chef Vincent Tan, who specialises in dim sum. Now let me show you all the sumptuous delights they have whipped up for our dining pleasure.
