The Menus

Chinese New Year Buffet Food Review

My wife and I were delighted to have the opportunity to try out the Hard Rock Hotel Penang's buffet dinner at their Starz Diner on 19 January, 2018. When we arrived, we saw that the dining hall has been beautifully decked out with antique Nyonya porcelain. Taking pride of place were the three figurines of Fu Lu Shou.

We met up with our other friends from the print and social media, and we took our seats, which were arranged into two rows. After we have had a chance to take photograph of all the food available, we all joined in to toss the Yee Sang, and start the dinner.

The food prepared by Hard Rock Hotel Penang's Chinese Cuisine Chef was both beautiful and tasty. Just take a look at the photos below. I love the Phoon Choy, or Basin of Abundance, which is a luxurious dish with expensive seafood items. There was also various savoury dishes and not forgetting, a variety of Chinese New Year cookies. Rather than repeating what you can find on the above menus, let me now show you the food we enjoyed.
