Before we found “Long Time Ago”, having BBQ is a messy experience in which not only we have to rotate skewers on regular basis, keeping charcoal grill fire going under hot and humid weather is also a challenge. Fortunately, all these are history after visiting the new “Long Time Ago” (GPS: 5.43637,100.31128) in Gurney Paragon Mall, Penang.
Food by Location
Enjoy a Taste of Romance @ E&O Hotel
We recently enjoyed our time at Eastern & Oriental Hotel (E&O Hotel) (GPS: 5.42361,100.33472) for its upcoming Valentine’s Day preview session. It was our privilege to visit its Poolside Terrace at 6th floor of new wing which is usually only opened to hotel guests. Featuring an exclusive deck pool, the serene area is just perfect for such special occasion.
Fatt Choy Reunion Buffet Dinner/Course Meal/High Tea @ Royale Chulan Penang
This is probably the last Chinese New Year buffet preview post we write for the year of 2019 and we introduce you Royale Chulan Penang (GPS: 5.41716,100.34373) – the 4-star hotel located opposite of Penang ferry terminal at Weld Quay, Georgetown, Penang.
Yiku Yiku Cafe @ Sungai Petani, Kedah
N-City (GPS: 5.61833,100.47570) at Sungai Petani is a new commercial area opposite of Bakar Arang’s Sharp Roxy factory and is under construction. We were told that there was a cafe there. When we first arrived, we were a bit resisted to get into the cafe as it shares the same unit with Sales Gallery of N-City (We had phobia with hard-selling sales persons). Surprisingly, it was a positive experience with cozy and quiet environment. We even enjoyed looking at building model.
Chinese New Year Buffet @ Eastin Hotel Penang
It had been years since we last visited Eastin Hotel Penang (GPS: 5.33639,100.30639). We recently re-visited this business hotel at Bayan Lepas, Penang for a Chinese New Year buffet review session.
CNY Buffet Dinner/Steamboat @ Lexis Suites Penang, Penang
Lexis Suites Penang (GPS: 5.28694,100.23289) – the prominent hotel in Teluk Kumbar, has 222 suites and is perhaps the only 5-star hotel at south part of Penang island. It was our second time visiting the premise, specifically its Roselle Coffe House, after having positive experience on their Christmas buffet last year. This round, we visited it for Chinese New Year buffet and steamboat preview session.

PUTIEN Oyster Festival and Pot of Goodies
Since PUTIEN (GPS: 5.43585,100.31112) opens its door to Penangites on April this year, we visited this One-Michelin Starred Restaurant at Gurney Paragon, Penang a few times thanks to its quality Fujian food and upscale dining environment suitable for special occasions. If you are yet to visit this Chinese restaurant, now is the best time to stop by as it has new Oyster menu launched. Even better, you may start ordering Pot of Goodies 盆菜 for upcoming Chinese New Year.
