Once again, Sukkah Coffee House at Olive Tree Hotel is staging a stumptuous Ramadhan Buffet throughout the fasting month. The buffet starts of the first day of Ramadhan and will continue until Hari Raya.

My wife and I had the pleasure of dining here last night, 9 June, 2016. Our host was Olive Tree Hotel's Marketing Communications Manager Jennifer Low. We were warmly received by Eric Cheng, the F&B Manager and Erwan, the restaurant supervisor. I had the opportunity to meet the various members of the restaurant team, including their chefs. After that, we were joined for dinner by Olive Tree Hotel's Director of Sales & Marketing, Adrian Praveen. The hotel has also invited some members from the press, and I met up with a Facebook friend Doris, who is a freelance journalist with The Malay Mail.

What a feast! As you enter the restaurant, you see both sides lined with food counters. There is a soup corner with various types of Malay soup while on the other hand, there's aiskrim potong. In the middle portion of the restaurant are the main food isles. The main dishes are arrayed in two neat rows. Behind it, nearer to where my wife and I would be seated, are the desserts, with various types of cakes and kuihs.

At the counter along the wall are ingredients to make your own pasembur. There's beancurd, wantan, eggs, just take your pick. Across from that is another food isle, with prawns, oysters and crab legs. On the opposite side of that food island, there's various crackers or keropok. Next to that are the pickles or jeruk. And when you think that's all, there's more. All along the far wall is more food. There's the kerabu and the salted items. There are at least three different types of dates, and one of them is simply humongous.

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.
