Celebrate the Best Christmas Buffet Penang Marriott 2024
The luxury of being pampered by a professional chef feels like an indulgence that’s becoming increasingly rare.
It’s a treat that reminds you how special it is to sit back, relax, and savor a meal crafted with passion, exceptional skill, and care.
With skilled workers harder to find and food prices soaring, it’s even more important to cherish the moments when the chefs at SAGO pull out all the stops.
The Penang Marriot Christmas Eve dinner is undoubtedly one of the best festive feasts in Penang.
The carving station featuring the Festive Christmas Roast is the heart of this buffet.
Featuring the insanely delicious Festive Christmas Roast, the buffet at SAGO was a feast of irresistible flavors.
My small, beady, myopic eyes grew large like saucers as I took in the sight of this festive spread—a carnivore’s dream come true.
It was a feast of irresistible flavors that whetted my appetite and awakened my festive spirit.
When I approached the carving station, the rich aromas and glistening roasts made it impossible to focus on anything else.
The Perfect Roast Collection
The carving station was an absolute showstopper, offering a range of sumptuous roasts.
Each cut was seasoned to perfection, ensuring every bite was filled with the season’s flavors.
Here’s a peek at what was offered at this Christmas dinner buffet listing stats with my favorites.
Contents
Beef Wellington
My Christmas favorite, the Beef Wellington, is always a welcome addition to any Christmas hotel buffet.
The last time I had it was years ago at David Brown’s Restaurant.
For many of us, Beef Wellington is the epitome of indulgence, wowing everyone with its buttery, golden puff pastry encasing a tender beef fillet.
Each thick slice reveals layers of flaky puff pastry and rich, savory mushroom duxelles, adding an earthy richness to the perfectly cooked meat.
Every bite is a festive delight, transporting diners to a world of indulgence.
It’s the kind of dish you eagerly anticipate for Christmas dinner—exquisite flavor in every mouthful.
This dish is worth every calorie.
Christmas Turkey
The star of the Christmas table, this turkey is perfectly moist, tender, and infused with the comforting aroma of classic holiday spices.
Each slice melts in your mouth, pairing harmoniously with tangy cranberry sauce and herbaceous stuffing.
It’s the embodiment of nostalgia, capturing all the flavors of a traditional Christmas dinner in every bite.
Roast Beef
This classic cut was seasoned to perfection and roasted until it developed a beautifully caramelized crust while staying juicy on the inside.
Served with a rich, savory au jus, each bite melted in your mouth.
Thinly sliced, these tender cuts look stunning on the plate, making the ideal base for a mouthwatering roast beef sandwich.
Every bite is a savory experience, perfectly balancing tenderness and richness.
Rack of Lamb
A glistening rack of lamb is a true showstopper.
I’m afraid (in the best way possible) that this could dangerously outshine my all-time favorite, the classic Beef Wellington.
It commands attention with its tender meat, which practically falls off the bone, revealing a rich, buttery texture that’s simply irresistible.
There’s no gamey taste—just a fragrant aroma that fills your entire mouth the moment you sink your teeth into it.
The rack of lamb is infused with a blend of aromatic herbs, and each bite is a perfect harmony of flavors with a luxurious mouthfeel.
I had seconds, as it was too delicious to resist.
The lamb has a luxurious tenderness with the meaty fat, which adds even more flavor!
What makes this rack of lamb the ultimate feast is that it leaves you craving more with every bite. I’m sorry, chefs, but it was so good that it simply outshone the other meats.
Roast Chicken
Golden-brown perfection with irresistibly crispy skin, this roast chicken delivers tender, juicy meat that feels like a warm embrace from home.
A comforting addition to the festive spread, its simplicity shines as its greatest strength, offering flavors that are nostalgic and universally cherished.
A true crowd-pleaser, this dish proves that simplicity is the ultimate winner when done right.
Roast Duck
This roast duck is all about irresistible contrasts—golden, crispy skin that crackles with every bite and tender, juicy meat bursting with rich flavor underneath.
The subtly sweet glaze adds just the right touch, perfectly complementing the duck’s savory richness.
It’s a quiet standout at the carving station, earning its place as a festive favorite that’s sure to delight.
There’s something irresistible about savoring local flavors. a buffet.
There’s no shortage of delicious marinated skewered meats at SAGO to suit every palate.
Tandoori Chicken Thighs
Spicy, bold, and flavorful, tandoori chicken thighs are a mouthwatering twist on the classic holiday roast.
The meat is marinated in a fragrant mix of spices and creamy yogurt.
They’re cooked to juicy perfection, with a smoky, tangy kick in every bite.
Perfect for those who love a festive feast with a touch of heat!
Satay
Satay is pure comfort on a skewer—tender, marinated meat grilled over a flame until smoky, juicy, and irresistible.
The rich, nutty peanut sauce is a flavor bomb—thick, creamy, and loaded with the goodness of dry-roasted peanuts.
It’s a match made in heaven, blending the charred, smoky flavors of the grilled meat with a sweet, savory, and aromatic kick.
This indulgent sauce often gets its signature taste from a fragrant spice paste made with shallots, chilies, garlic, lemongrass, and galangal, all fried to perfection.
The sauce keeps you dipping for more, bite after bite.
This festive spread is a carnivore’s dream come true.
The roast meats offer a variety of perfectly prepared roasts that capture the magic of Christmas.
Each dish promises a delightful journey for your taste buds—what will you try first?
Seafood on Ice & Salads
Start your journey with the freshest seafood beautifully presented on ice, including oysters, prawns, mussels and shellfish.
Rice & Accompanying Dishes
A highlight of the Christmas buffet, the Nasi Briyani station promises a burst of aromatic flavors.
Nasi Briyani rice is flavorful and aromatic, with a rich taste that comes from a combination of spices, tender meat, and Basmati Rice.
To complement this flavorful fluffy rice, diners can enjoy a selection of mouthwatering dishes:
- Chicken Masala: Tender chicken simmered in a robust, spiced tomato-based gravy.
- Mutton Rogan Josh: Succulent mutton slow-cooked in a rich, aromatic curry that’s both hearty and satisfying.
- Eggplant Masala: Soft, smoky eggplants stewed in a tangy and slightly spicy masala sauce.

- Papadum: Crisp and crunchy, these fried lentil crackers add the perfect textural contrast to the meal.
This station offers a symphony of tastes and textures, making it a must-visit for lovers of vibrant, spice-laden dishes.
Noodle Station
The noodle section is where comfort food truly shines.
From a flavorful bowl of Beef Noodles to the smoky charm of stir-fried Char Kway Teow, there’s something here to satisfy every craving.
Perfect for those moments when you need to start your buffet with a hearty, soul-soothing meal.
Decadent Desserts
Wrap up your evening with a delightful selection of festive desserts that are sure to bring a smile to your face.
From the rich, chocolatey goodness of classic yule logs to indulgent cakes and buttery cookies, there’s something for everyone.
Don’t miss the warm, spiced Christmas pudding, served with a generous drizzle of sauce for that perfect holiday touch.
These sweet treats are the perfect ending to a memorable Christmas feast.
And if there’s still some room, there’s ice cream and coffee. For me, I’ll make an affogato with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a double shot of espresso!
