Sukkah Coffee House at Olive Tree Hotel Penang has introduced its new Dim Sum Buffet, which started on Sunday, 5 March, 2017. This is a full-fledged dim sum buffet, where diners can collect different dim sum items spread out at different food stations, without having to fill up order lists. There is a lot of items available, from the steamed to the deep fried.
My wife and I were guests of Olive Tree Hotel on the inaugural day of their dim sum buffet. Although I have had the pleasure of a test run a few months back, it was only now that the hotel was able to finally launch the dim sum buffet.
Some of the outstanding items at the dim sum buffet include the steamed carrot cake, crab meat balls, the deep-fried yam dumplings and the chee cheong fun, which is available with three different fillings namely prawns, scallops and char siew. This being a fully halal dim sum, no pork is used, but instead chicken and generous amounts of prawns and scallops.
There's also braised chicken feet at this buffet. The taste is excellent. However, both my wife and I felt that if the chicken feet were braised even longer, it would be even softer. This we fedback to their dim sum chef, Chef Aaron. Also, we asked the restaurant to look into the crispiness of the deep fried items. The disadvantage of having buffets such as this, where the items are waiting for guests to pick up, is that the deep fried items may lose their crispiness. So, while they may be very crispy when they were made ready, they have become less so when the guests put them on their plates. We duly provided our frank feedback of those areas, so that everything is perfect for the guests.
On the whole, my wife and I enjoyed ourselves greatly at the dim sum buffet. There is a lot of good food here, and we just couldn't try every item. We thank Olive Tree Hotel for having invited us to this dim sum, and hope to try out their buffets again in future.

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.
