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 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.

Prawns and more prawns. Nice decoration.

Seafood buffet dinner with meat and veges.

Good selection of dessert with custard, chocolate mousse, etc.

Outside the hotel with tourists resting by the pool.

Beautiful swimming pool lined with palm trees.

http://www.tsldesigns.com/wordpress/2007/10/26/weekend-hotel-stay/ Today is a Saturday and it is time for my weekend hotel stay. I have not decided which hotel to stay yet, but last week, I was in Vistana Hotel in Bayan Lepas, and before that in Cititel Hotel in town. Vistana hotel is near to Max, a famous ‘tim sum’ restaurant which is always crowded with diners. I love the almost crusted fish ball and ‘har kau’. Normally I will order the ginseng with bamboo shoots tea in this new ‘tim sum’ restaurant. Cititel hotel is near to Chinese Gardenview restaurant serving delicious Chinese food. I dined here once before and the food was not too bad. It also depends on vacancy and whether is it peak season during the holidays that we are able to get a room for today.

Jesus turned the water into intoxicating best wine at the marriage feast in Cana. Wine contains resvaratrol, a powerful antioxidant for good health. It also helps reduce the cholesterol level in your blood due to the alcohol in it. Now you can buy Absinthe alcohol for the link and order online for your alcohol.

People drink alcohol to calm down the nerves and feel good. It is suitable to drink wine or alcohol after a meal. It seems white wine goes well with white meat and red wine with red meat. But you can also mix the above. There is no hard and fast rule about it. For myself, I have bought coffee liquer from Langkawi which is tax free. And I love the texture and taste of the coffee liquer which I drink now and then. Since it is very sweet, I don’t take it everyday. So why wait, check out the link above and you might find something you love.

We also had a bowl of sharks’ fins soup for RM20 each with genuine crab meat and sharks’ fins strips. The soup was more of a thick gravy and double-boiled.

This is the view from our table. Notice the ambience with red cushioned chairs and chinese decorated settings.

This are the baked crabs with crab shells. The crab shells look like they have 2 eyes looking at you but they do certainly decorate the plate.

We also ordered a dish of vegetables with big prawns and ginger. The vegetables were well cooked.

These are the combined dishes that we had. There were about 4 orders just for us.

Here is the salad spread for the buffet breakfast downstairs in the hotel. There were many choices of veges, cream and Japanese food corner with the well known Japanese seaweed for the miso soup.

This is the Salad corner with bouquet of flowers that decorate the buffet table spread.

There are many varieties of buns and croissants in rattan baskets.

This shot is a photo of a large arrangement of chrysanthemums in a huge vase that decorates teh lobby of the hotel.

This vase of flowers sits comfortably between two huge Chinese vases. I just had to take this shot.

Here is my breakfast of mushrooms stir-fried with thick sauce, grilled tomatoes and some potatoes.

This is the lobby and I took the opportunity to take this shot while waiting for my friend.

It was on a Sunday on Father’s day where we stayed in this place, Hydro Majestic Hotel in Batu Ferringhi, Penang.

This is part of the decoration and the faux fruits makes the breakfast buffet spread attractive.

Here is the ambience of the restaurant of Hydro Majestic Hotel in Penang. The hotel has just been refurbished and renovation is still ongoing. After the renovation is completed, the price of stay will definitely increase. In this photo, you can see the new vertical striped round sofas for more comfortable dining experience. The interior decoration is awesome.

When purchasing mangosteen fruit, look for ones that are dark purple or reddish purple in color. At home, store them at room temperature and eat within a few days. Also, it’s important to remember that unlike mangos, the mangosteen can’t be frozen. Mangosteens are commonly eaten raw as a dessert. The white succulent juicy flesh is sweet and tangy as shown in my photo above.

Himalayan Goji berries are considered to be the most nutritious food source on the planet. These are grown in fertile valleys in the Tibetan and Mongolian Himalayas. They are far richer in antioxidants than any other comparable food source tested by ORAC labs. The wholesale price is significantly lower than that of any competitor known. This is because they buy Goji berries in such large volume and have developed longstanding ties with their suppliers. You can also buy Goji seeds for planting and seaweed fertilizer, which complements the Goji seedlings and plants, as well.
