Deluxcious All You Can Eat Lunch Buffet

Deluxious which has long been synonymous to its ‘spa cuisine’ has now spread its wings and is now a boutique hotel cum spa and restaurant. It took over the colonial bungalow next door and transformed it into a charming 18-room boutique hotel.

Its newly refurbished restaurant has also introduced an All-You-Can-Eat ala-carte style buffet at RM39.90+ since 30th September 2011. The appetizers, soup and desserts are served at the buffet line but you can order any entrée and as many as you want from the menu. The entrees are served in smaller tasting portion so you can try the different dishes the restaurant has to offer, which include a variety of pasta, chicken, beef, lamb, seafood, fish and Asian specialties.

The restaurant was enjoying brisk business on the Sunday we went for buffet lunch and thus a little short-handed. Nevertheless, the kitchen was very fast to turn around our orders. It would be nice if they could at least serve water at the table vs. the buffet line but the food served was really good so we were quick to dismiss the minor inconveniences.

Despite the buffet style, we were served with very fine and good quality food. All of us were awed by the flavours and freshness of the ingredients served. Hats off to Deluxious for coming up with such creative ideas and especially so for such great culinary delights.

Cool Bananas Children's Party Package

Our niece Abigail turned four in May and her daddy and mommy threw a birthday party for her at the Cool Bananas Parkroyal Hotel Penang and invited her friends from nursery.

The Cool Bananas Children's Party Package includes free flow of chilled soft drinks, a choice of 9 snacks, two fun games organised by the resort's activities staff, a complimentary cake, use of swimming pool and 70-foot long waterslide.

Abigail and her friends played in the swimming pool to their hearts' content and were later treated to a buffet which consisted of fish fingers, fruits, two types of pizza, pasta, fried rice, chicken bites, potato wedges and mini burgers.

I am quite sure Abigail had a blast at her 4th birthday party. Happy Birthday, Abby!

The price is RM35.00++ per person for a minimum of 15 children (RM32.00++ per person for PARKROYAL Prestige members). Advance reservation is required.
Time : 3.00 pm - 7.00 pm daily

Goh Teo Kee Takeaway

We oredered takeway from Goh Teo Kee for a private birthday celebration at home recently for 10 pax.

Stir Fried Brocolli with Mushroom and Scallop RM40

Lam Mee RM24

Garlic Prawns RM50

Fried Chicken RM35

Fried Rice RM16

I was impressed with the big plastic containers that the dishes were packed in. Overall food was good but we felt that the Stir Fried Brocolli with Mushroom and Scallop was a bit expensive at RM40 given the small serving. Anyway, I guess we can't complain as the dish came with sizeable scallops.

Marrybrown

We decided to give the Marrybrown outlet in Bukit Jambul mall a try since this fast food chain seemed to have made a comeback with a few new outlets opening in Penang recently. To our surprise, they have quite an elaborate menu ranging from fried chicken to burgers to local delights to seafood to Value and Kiddy Meals (with gift), jelly ice cream, float, sundae etc.

According to their website, Marrybrown is Malaysian owned and managed. Marrybrown was founded in 1981 and is the largest home grown fast food chain with over 250 outlets in Malaysia, Indonesia, China, India, Sri Lanka, Tanzania, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Azerbaijan, Syria & Iran.

Seafood Porridge
Seafood porridge served with schredded crabsticks, MB crispy chili prawn paste, fried onion and spring onion.

Double Chicken Delight Combo
1 piece of Original / Hotouch fried chicken and 1 chicken burger. Comes with regular Pepsi.

They seem to try to position themselves as something in between the two existing biggest fast food chains in Malaysia. Actually, I have to give them the credit for doing quite a good job. They were enjoying very brisk business when we were there on a Saturday during dinner hours.

The seafood porridge, though lacking in ingredients, was quiet special with the chili prawn paste. The fried chicken was crispy and I liked the fact that the burger bun was very soft and full of sesame seeds.
