It's that time of the year again where (usually) mothers/ grandmothers crack their heads for dinner ideas for the annual family affair - Reunion Dinner. To save them the trouble, eat out! Hard Rock Hotel Penang is whipping up some really good pork-free Chinese New Year dinners this year. The dinners will be served in Starz Diner with wide choices of local Chinese and International Cuisines. What's special about the buffet is that you don't have to worry about the traditional activity of Yee Sang tossing. It's included in the buffet, guys!

Guys I kid you not Chef Heng (which I know personally hahaha!) represented Malaysia at the Chinese Cuisine World Championship 2017 and won the Chinese Cuisine Chef (Gold Medal) in Shenzhen, China! And he's cooking for you leh.

Some of the main dishes I tried were highly recommended by Chef Heng. They include the Pumpkin Fried Rice with Abalone and Shrimp (IKR!), Steamed Whole Chicken in Lotus Leaf, Deep Fried King Prawn with basil leaf, Nyonya Hot & Sour Fish (personal fave), Wok Fried Flower Crabsw with Nyonya Kapitan Sauce and Brocolli with Seafood Treasure and Crabmeat Egg Sauce.

This year, the team of creative chefs will also be introducing some Nyonya dishes serving local Nyonya delights such as Salted Fish Nasi Ulam, Salted Fish Acar Awak, Chicken Loh Bak, Inche Kaben Chicken Boxing and Poh Piah Pie Tee. Besides these savory dishes, there will also be lip-smacking desserts served like Chinese Traditional Leng Chee Kang with Loh Han Koh, Glutinous Rice Cake, Nyonya Pulut Hitam with Glutinous Rice Ball and Pandan Layer Cake.

Starz Diner will be serving 2 buffet dinners this year, one on 15th and the other on 16th February 2018. Don't be like my family eat KFC on the first day of CNY okay? You can start booking your dinners now so you don't end up like me haha!
