Japanese Buffet Dinner, 17 March, 2017

My wife and I had the pleasure of trying out the Japanese Buffet Dinner at Cititel Penang on 17 March, 2017. We were there, along with a number of bloggers, at the invitation of the hotel's Communications Manager. When we arrived, we saw the glorious array of food already decked out and ready to be eaten.

There is a sushi station with a wide range of sushi and sashimi, along with their accompaniments. There is also tempura items, miso soup, and Japanese noodles udon and soba. Among the main items which I enjoyed very much include the Soft Shelled Crab Tempura, which are so crispy; the Grilled Saba Mackerel; the Salmon Head with Teriyaki Sauce (always my favourite whenever I come to Cititel Penang); the Chawanmushi; Mussels with Wasabi Mayonnaise, and Japanese Chicken Curry.

If you love seafood - and I do - you would find all sorts of seafood on ice, including Oysters, Prawns, Scallops and Green-Lipped Mussels. As for the Antipasto, there's Marinated Mushrooms, Marinated and Grilled Capsicum, Semi-Dried Tomatoes (I like this very much), and various pickled items.

There are other items at the Japanese buffet also, from local to international. We particularly enjoyed the rojak, for which Cititel is famous for. There's also salad, breads, cakes, chocolate fondue and various drinks.

We had a very nice time at the Japanese Buffet Dinner, and we thank Cititel Penang for allowing us the opportunity to enjoy its wonderful food and hospitality.
