Lexis Suites Media & Blogger Appreciation Night 2017

Lexis Suites Penang Media & Blogger Appreciation Night 2017 (20 April 2017)


Lexis Suites Penang held a Media & Blogger Appreciation Night on 20 April, 2017, feting members of the print and social media to a night of wine and dine. The theme that evening was Japanese. Guests were treated to various Japanese food from sushi and sashimi to teppanyaki, teriyaki chicken and seafood. There is also various drinks available including mocktail, sake, beer and coffee.

Lexis Suites Penang General Manager Mr Ben Ho addressed the gathering and thanked the members of the media for their support. Masseurs from Lex Spa were on hand that evening to provide free shoulder massages to the guests and at the same time promote their various spa treatments. Other events that evening included a bridal fashion show from Joie*Z Bridal Gallery and a judo performance.

There was also a judo performance, but the moment everybody was waiting for, was the lucky draw. Among the big prizes that evening include free 3-day 2-night stays at Grand Lexis and Lexis Hibiscus in Port Dickson. Flights to Phuket from Penang were also given away. I did not win any of those big prizes, but did walk home with a dinner voucher for two at Lexis Suites Penang.

I appreciate it very much that Lexis Suites Penang has taken the initiative to appreciate the members of the local print and social media.

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
