Saturday Seafood Buffet Food Review

My wife and I were privileged to an invitation from Royale Chulan Penang to try out their Saturday Seafood Buffet yesterday, 27 January, 2018. The buffet has just started a week before, and we were eager to have a chance to enjoy it.

One of the highlights of this seafood buffet is - and this might surprise you - the fish and chips. We have enjoyed the fish and chips at Royale Chulan Penang before, and we look forward to having it again at this seafood buffet. I love the crispiness of the crust that blends well with the softness of the fish, which is just nice and not overcooked.

Another item which I enjoyed greatly is the Ocean View Lasagna. Dig in, I found lots of chunky prawns in this dish. I returned for second.

In addition to seafood, there's a lot of other items, including salads, cakes, puddings, burgers, laksa and sweet broths. Let me show you the items I came across.

My wife and I had a lovely time at Royale Chulan Penang. We tried to eat as many dishes as we can, but there's more items at this buffet than we can manage. Often we have to select those the we liked the most. We are so thankful to be invited, and we register our thanks to Royale Chulan Penang for giving us the opportunity to enjoy this buffet.
