Penang Eastin Hotel Celebrate Chinese New Year 2016

Penang Eastin Hotel’s new Executive Chef  Johnno Fong and Pastry Chef Siti Fareehah bring more than creative ideas on food presentation, a fresh menu with new ingredients, and cooking styles to expand the current list.

At the recent review, they treated the press and bloggers to an excellent seafood spread, which included imported gigantic snow crabs which had impressively huge long spidery claws that dwarf the slipper lobster, prawns, mussels, oyster, and scallops on display.

There were sashimi boats of raw tuna, salmon, octopus, and butterfish!

Smoked Salmon

Fried Clams in Coconut Shell.

I felt I was with Willy Wonka in the Chocolate Factory, waiting eagerly for my reward of a promised lifetime supply of chocolate.

There’s no waiting and definitely with was more than enough of the delightfully chocolate desserts and cakes to go around at Eastin.

Guess who overdosed on the chocolate items? In particular, the Orange Chocolate Cake!
A chocolate fountain is strangely mesmerizing. I stood there for several minutes, transfixed; it was a battle lost.

Chocolate won that night.

What’s great food without the chefs?
It’s like a coffee machine without a barista, that’s for sure!
