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.

G-hotel is not like any other hotel that you find here. For one, the interior decoration is very modern and hip. You will not find big vases of flower and hanging chandeliers unlike the older hotels. Here, you will find a very cosy lounge with plenty of sofa sets and cushioned chairs with lighted lampstands beside them. The setting is just like a modern house’s interior, cosy and comfortable. The lighting is dimmed down for that romantic feel. The flooring is raised wooden platform with side lights. I am looking forward to today’s stay and check in time is after 2:00pm.

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 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.

The above picture is a mini bowl of yee sang for 1 person from Sushi King at this time of festivity. As for the tradition of eating yee sang during Chinese New Year, this is an invented “tradition” of the Chinese in Malaysia (and Singapore). Yee sang – a dish of raw salmon fish slices mixed with crunchies and other ingredients like julienned cucumber, carrots, turnips plus sauces of various kinds such as plum sauce and honey – is not part of New Year cuisine among the Chinese of Mainland China, Taiwan and Hong Kong. Part of the attraction or fun of eating yee sang comes from audience participation, i.e., all those present at the dinner table are supplied with chopsticks and are actively encouraged to indulge in boisterous mixing of the ingredients simultaneously. The higher you toss the yee sang, the better luck and fortune for the year. Thus, a feeling of family togetherness and bonding is created at the same time.

Here are more ice cream cakes to feast my eyes on and for posterity of the baker’s creativity.

As my bf and I were waiting for our movie entitled Babel, we feasted on ice cream from Swensen’s on the third floor. I ordered a mint flavored one, hence the green color while he had rich chocolate. Food has always appealed to most people and that’s the only reason I like to put up some interesting photos.

Don’t the photo above look tantalizing? Here’s my selection of the buffet of chrome yellow mango pudding, sky blue local dessert (“kuih”), chocolate fondue and cakes. Since I took a bit of almost everything, I share this platter with my sister to cut down on the calories.

Here’s the delectable buffet consisting of mushroom cream coated steamed salmon, fried nestum prawns, fried mantis prawns in marmite sauce, some fresh vegetables and of course baked crabs. Being careful of my weight, I just had 1 plateful for the round of main dish and another round for fruits, cakes and Haagen Daz ice-cream.

Above is the place of flower crab with slices of lemon. They are baked, chilled on ice and served cold. I love the white tangy seafood flavor of the crab that’s tantalizingly smooth. A picture certainly is worth a thousand words and let the photo above speaks for itself.
