Today is Hari Raya and is a public holiday. I would like to take this opportunity to wish my muslim readers Selamat Hari Raya. I still continue to work even though it is a public holiday and have scanned many copies of brochures for the client just now and converted them to PDF format for faster retrieval. There were more than 10 files emailed out this morning to 3 different clients. By the way, Hari Raya is a time of get together and a time of forgiveness. All muslims alike will share home baked cakes and cookies in this festive season. The favorites are lemang, bubur lambuk, apom, kambing bakar, ikan masak merah, etc. Many hotels are whipping up halal food for this occasion with special discounts.

I was sifting through old photos when I found cakes taken in Dorsett Hotel buffet. It was a treat by my youngest sister when she recently joined Oriental Rewards as a member. With this membership, you can dine at half price and stay in hotels in Asia at discounted prices. Above is a strawberry cake on a nice pretty plate.

Here is a fruit cake set on a glass plate. Since we were early, I took the opportunity to snap as many nice photos as possible before the cakes are cut and eaten.

Mango pudding and other dessert are served on small glasses that are cute.

Here is a blueberry cheese cake with generous topping of blueberry sauce.

This is my dessert with tiramisu or coffee cheese cake on the top left corner. It was simply delicious but I did not take too much of the dessert to watch my weight.

Some cakes on the dessert corner of the buffet in Dorsett Hotel in Penang.
I was in Sunway Pyramid (SP) last night and wanted to dine in a new pasta restaurant near the entrance of SP in the new wing. It is set up by Pasta de Waruku Singapore for this Japanese Casual Pasta & Restaurant. When I enter, I was told by the waitress that at the moment, it is by invitation only but nevertheless allowed us to enter as we happen to be there. She further told us that all dining is on the house.
I had crabmeat with fetucine and cocoa shake. Then we shared a green tea ice cream. There are no photos here as the batteries of my digital camera happen to be flat. What we ate was worth more than RM70 with taxes but thanks to their promotion, we dined for free. We happen to be in the right place at the right time. For those who miss out on the free dining, do not fret. You can say pay RM100 and get back RM100 dining voucher which means that you only pay half on 9th May 2008.

The buffet dinner was themed Seafood with slipper lobster, prawns, salmon, oysters and more.


Prawns and more prawns. Nice decoration.
