Ixora Hotel Prai is a favorite hunting ground for Penangites’ weekend activity: “hunting” down fresh seafood.
That’s when the island dwellers will brave the traffic and head out to the seafood restaurants in Bukit Tambun (23.5 km) of Batu Kawan via the second bridge (23.8 km).
For a delicious, fresh, and affordable seafood dinner, halve the distance and head to Ixora Hotel Prai (11.5 km) instead.
Reasonable Price, Great Location
Ixora Hotel Prai is located next to Megamall Penang and is a mere 5 minutes drive as you exit from Penang Bridge.
The Saturday Seafood & BBQ Buffet Dinner is RM78 net per person. Seniors and children pay RM48 net per person.
Ixora Hotel Prai has banquet facilities in their grand ballroom if you want a venue for a wedding banquet or corporate event.
Buffet Line Up
The main courses on the buffet line-up include some seriously delicious carbs;
- Steamed Fragrant Oil Rice
- Fried Dumpling Noodles with Big Prawns
- Potato Gratin
- Braised Vegetable with Scallops & Mushroom
- Stewed Duck
Great Greens & Cheese
Ixora Hotel Prai has two of my favorite ingredients for an excellent salad, Fresh Avocado and Feta Cheese.
I remember making this simple summer salad.
I used juicy cherry tomatoes, crunchy cucumber, and creamy avocado topped with some salty feta tossed with vinaigrette and oil from the marinated feta cheese.
This turns it into something extraordinarily delicious!
A vegan version can be made with tomato, cucumber, avocado, and kalamata olives instead of feta cheese.
I wished I made this for my starters from the buffet line. Beautiful and satisfying.
Check out the buffet line’s appetizers with beef salami, sliced Chicken, smoked salmon, potato salad, mixed fruit salad, and marinated cute Japanese baby octopus.
There’s an excellent selection of sauces to go with your salad.
Chilled Seafood on Ice
The delectable array features shellfish galore, oysters, prawns, mussels, and scallops.
All the shellfish are big, juicy, and succulent. I had several plump-boiled prawns with garlic mayo. Just perfect.
Outdoor BBQ
Ixora Hotel Prai serves Slipper Lobster, flower crab, bamboo clams, chicken thigh, beef, lamb, salmon, and sausages.
There are three flavourful sauces to make your BBQ sing. Mint sauce for the lamb. Rosemary sauce for Chicken.
Black Pepper Sauce for the Beef.
But then I always say, “You’re the BOSS of your BBQ sauce.”
This means to, say, you decide if you want to mix all three, go for ketchup or none at all.
Desserts
Ixora Hotel Prai’s star dessert has the Matcha Green Tea with White Chocolate Fountain, which sends all green tea lovers into ecstasy.
A bowl of iced water will “harden” the coated fruit and marshmallow skewers.
The white chocolate’s thicker consistency coats the condiments’ surface beautifully.
The desserts available are Cream Puff, Fruits Tartlet, Cream Brule, Cream Caramel, Panna Cotta, Tiramisu Cake, and Mix Tropical Fresh Fruits.
There’s also herbal jelly (Gui Ling Gao) which is cooling for the body.
Coffee
Ixora Hotel Penang serves one of the smoothest coffees on the buffet.
Many coffee connoisseurs worldwide consider the unmistakable taste of Illy coffee as the finest coffee.
