What caught my attention the most is the choices of seafood available on ice! Eastin Hotel Penang provides fresh seafood like snow crabs, scallops, mussels, slipper lobsters, prawns and so on. Look at the amount and you know that it would be a eat-all-you-can big feast! Besides that, sashimi such as salmon, butter fish and octopus are available too.

After all the raw seafood, you can continue with cold platters, cheese platters and salads. Among all of them, smoked salmon platter was done delicately into rose shapes. Compared to our last few visits, the food presentation now in Eastin Hotel Penang is much more appealing!

Here comes the main dishes which I felt that they have improved a lot in terms of taste and presentation. Their main dishes are no longer those predictable one but instead with some nice name such as Romeo Sour Curry Fish, Wok Fried Tiger Prawns with Salted Egg Gravy, Pan Fried Fish with Saffron Sauce, Creamy Mixed Seafood with Cheese, Curry Leaf Thai Sweet Kapar, Juliet Coconut Squid and Tandoori Lamb Chop with Cucumber Raita. Among all the main dishes, Creamy Mixed Seafood with Cheese is our favorite.

With the new executive sous chef, Chef Johnno Fong, I believe he did bring the buffet dinner to a higher level with uniqueness of food. After all, with so many other buffet dinner options in Penang, it's all about differentiation, given the competitive business environment.
