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.

About this website
Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
