Buffet Dinner E & O Hotel, Penang

I went tofr E & O buffet dinner the day I came back from Jakarta, take note that the day before I was at a wedding dinner reception, and 2 days before I was at Shangri-La’s Satoo having buffet as well… yes, i know.. very melampau (overboard)… :P and that was like a week before CNY… freaking gained a lot of weight after that in which phew.. I’ve managed to lose them and more to lose! Anyways, I’m just enjoying life to the fullest… haha… and actually it’s because bro has got vouchers that were expiring and that was the only available date for him.

Welcome to Sarkies Corner… we actually went to weekdays dinner buffet.. although every night is themed differently, it’ actually the same spread every night on weekdays… so you can take all 4 days theme teamed up together, all the spreads are there… weekdays themed buffet dinner is at MYR78++ (per adult) if I’m not mistaken.. Weekends dine and wine is at MYR120++(per adult), more info here.

I have to say, with the available spread, it’s quite value for money, especially if you are big eaters.. small eaters aside, it’s never value for money for you to go to any buffet unless it’s really cheap, my mom for an example.. always say it’s not worth to bring her to any buffet cos she’s a small eater.. usually when we’re only having our 3 round, she’s having her coffee already… hahaha..

So off we go…..
