Cititel Penang's Christmas Buffet Dinner

Cititel Christmas 2017 (9 December 2017)


I love the Christmas season. This is the time of the year when I get to try out and tell people about the glorious array of food available in many hotels in Penang. Last night, my wife and I had the wonderful opportunity to enjoy the sumptuous delights prepared by Cititel Penang.

Christmas Buffet Dinner Food Review

Upon our arrival at Cititel Penang, we were impressed by the towering Christmas tree that forms the centrepiece of the lobby.

The passageway leading towards Main Street Cafe, where the food review was being held, was decorated with Christmas decoration, giving the hotel a festive atmosphere. Upon our arrival at the cafe, we saw that several of our friends from the print and social media have already arrived, and were busy taking photos of the food. So, without further delay, we also get to work at once.

Cititel Penang has always impressed me with its amount and variety of food, and it's no different for their Christmas buffet. It was a Smörgåsbord comprising appetizers, cheese platter, seafood on ice, soups, hot dishes, roasted items and desserts - and that's just the types of food available, for within each category are lots and lots of items.

A row of tables were arranged for us, so we each took our seat. As the meal commences, in addition to the food which we selected from the buffet line, we were also served slipper lobster thermidor, which was brought to our table.

I started my meal with a few rounds of the savoury items before moving on to the desserts. Both my wife and I have a rather limited appetite, so we had to be extremely economical over the amount of food we took of each item. Even then, I wasn't able to try every item. And I wasn't the type to waste food, so I took only what I could expect myself to finish. Nevertheless, I enjoyed every item that I took.

It was such a lovely meal, not only for the food but also for the company. I had the opportunity to meet up with Ms Michelle Koay, the Director of Sales & Marketing for the first time. I have heard of her, but this was the first time we had a conversation, so I was pretty glad to know her. I am also delighted to meet up with Ms Jeyaranjenee, who has just taken up the position of Assistant Communications Manager.

If you are planning to enjoy a Christmas buffet this year, do take a look at what Cititel Penang has to offer in the photographs below. We were so thankful to the hotel for the opportunity to enjoy all the delicious food.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
