Since it is for Chinese New Year celebration, Eastin Hotel Penang decorated well with all the Chinese elements, while most of the dishes are Chinese-oriented too. As usual, the meal must started with Eastin Hotel Penang's Fortune Yee Sang tossing, which is symbolic of good luck, prosperity, health and all things auspicious.

After the Yee Sang tossing, we started off our Chinese New Year Buffet Dinner with all the main courses. The most luxurious dish during Chinese New Year would be the Poon Choi & Yook Poon (Big Bowl Feast of Auspicious) where all the expensive ingredients such as abalone, fish maw, prawns, dried oyster, scallop and broccoli. 

Among all the hot dishes available, baby and I love the Salted Egg Mantis Prawn. Eastin Hotel Penang is being generous as this is a rare dish that would appear in a buffet dinner or lunch, given that mantis prawns are expensive. Sea Cucumber with Garden Green can be found in the buffet too! 

Soup wise, Eastin Hotel Penang serves Leng Chi Kang and Chicken Herbal soup too. Personally, I love the Chicken Herbal soup as the soup is warm and sweet, probably after slow-cooked for hours with chicken, Longan, Chinese Wild Yam (Huai Shan), Codonopsis (Dang Shen) and many more. Certainly nourishing for the body and soul, which is vital to health and longevity! 

Eastin Hotel Penang also serves Roasted Chicken, Roasted Duck, Grilled Lamb and Char Siew Chicken, they were all great. But what amazed baby and I the most was actually the yellow color Rosemary Cream Sauce. Unlike those typical BBQ Sauce or Brown Sauce, Rosemary Cream Sauce is creamy and probably cheezy with a sweet base to keep us craving for more! 

If you would like to have a change of taste, seafood on ice such as oyster, prawns, scallops, mussels, crabs are available. Eastin Hotel Penang also serves cold platters such as Broccoli and Duck Salad, Baby Octopus Salad and Jellyfish Salad too.

Since it is a Chinese New Year Buffet Dinner, I focused more on the Chinese dishes. Even though fruits and cakes are all available, but I had my eyes on the Chinese assorted biscuits! Basically you can find it all here at Eastin Hotel Penang!

Overall, all the dishes are up to par, baby and I enjoyed our buffet dinner very much at Eastin Hotel Penang.
