Our Buffet Dinner At Eastern & Oriental Hotel, Penang

My Penang trip posts are far from over yet... Looking back, my buffet dinner at E & O have yet to be posted up. Unfortunately the pictures did not turn out very well and thus not doing much credit to the food. Nevertheless, from the publicity, the buffet at this prestigious hotel is one of the best in Penang island and I readily agree it is indeed so.

If I were to go for this buffet again, I would make sure to take a light meal only in the morning and then leave the rest of the space for the dinner buffet... hahahaa....  speaking from a "kiasu auntie"....
Initially it was quite deserted...
Cos we went in quite early.. before 7.30pm...
Sections near to our table...
 Auntie "eyeing" this section at the very start....
Kiasu auntie taking her first round of food......
My first round....
By now...forgotten how many rounds already...
Still attacking the first section....
Sometimes we took more to share....
Like the baked oyster and the grilled octopus...
Fruits corner...
In the midst of it, we came out to take a breather...
(Digesting food time)
Then we re-entered again.... 
Sarkies Corner...
 
Went round one more time to see what else worth eating...
And we were told that these crayfish just came in....
The cook said.. "Try this.. you will come back for more...."
Yes, we did.... they were indeed very fresh.....

Then after some ice cream pancakes and ice kacang...
we were more or less.... "FULL" liow....
Our FULL stomach smiles....
ie. before the Bill came....
hahahaaa...

  2. Yeah, some say Rasa Sayang in Ferringhi better, but I personally feel E&O has the best buffet in the island!

  6. Lovely food Reana! :)

    I like the second last picture - that's a slipper lobster right? It's like a Moreton Bay Bug but caught over here or in surrounding waters, it's actually pretty good. I like them as much as regular lobsters.

  12. I saw all the delicious food and I surrender because I know if I stuffed myself because of kiasu, then at night sure will suffer because of over eating so not going for buffets now. Your stomach very keng! Can fit in so much food that night when usually you are a small eater. :D

  14. Wakakakaka!!! You are so humble to call yourself a Kiasu Auntie! I would never dare to call myself Kiasu Uncle.
    I studied at St Xavier's for 11 years and saw E&O Hotel everyday at the front and the famous Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion on my left, through the classroom windows. I love how they have refurbished the hotel to its majestic world class now as it was sadly neglected for many decades. That hotel even invited my parents who are well known ballroom dancers to hang out at their dance hall everyday with unlimited free drinks!! Now my mum is bedridden. Sobs!
