We all heard about Seafood buffet here and there in Penang, but have you heard about a very affordable seafood buffet in a hotel that just launch recently? With RM108nett, you can enjoy unlimited servings of crabs, prawns, shellfishes and many more. 

Jazz Hotel opened its door recently with a restaurant named Feast At Jazz and just launched their new buffet themed "Under The Sea Seafood Buffet" priced at only RM108nett per person and RM88nett for children and senior citizens. 

The restaurant can caters over hundreds of diners depending on seating arrangements in a comfortable dining environment. The buffet theme features wide range of food selection from appetisers, mains, desserts and many more in local and fusion style. 

Steamed Rice & Mexican Rice

Mushroom Soup & Tom Yam Soup

Prawn Curry, Squid with Egg Yolk & Chili Padi & Chili Crab. 

Savour the freshness from selected juicy seafood cooked in curry, sweet and spicy and the famous Singapore Chili Crab style. Best is you get unlimited serving of these so you can enjoy as much as you want with only one price, definitely more worthy that spending so much in a seafood restaurant.

For western food lovers, you can enjoy some of their western style cuisine such as the Pot Roast Beef, Chicken Pie, Sweet Potato Gratin and many more available on the spread. The hot food section will make you feel like trying everything even before the action counters where more food selections available. 

Spaghetti Carbonara, the juicy Tandoori Sausage and french fries are also specially made for the children if you are dining with your kids. What's even better? They have specially prepared cutleries for the children so you don't have to worry about breaking anything and these cutleries are so cute that will definitely help in feeding your children.

It's a seafood themed buffet of course are we in for some fresh and juicy seafood on ice!

On the "Seafood On Ice" section we get to enjoy poached prawns, squid, flower crabs, clams and many more on the spread.

For only RM108nett, you get unlimited servings of all these goodies, definitely won't be able to enjoy it at other buffets at this price.

In the action counter, there's a corner specialised in cooking shellfishes where you can pick your own seafood and let the chef do their magic. 
On that night we get to choose in between Masak Lemak Cili Padi or Sweet & Sour style to go with our seafood so we picked up two bowls and tried both. 

Sweet & Sour version

Masak Lemak Cili Padi version, which was really appetising and flavourful.

If you are into local foods, then you can give their prawn noodle and char koay teow a try. Especially the prawn noodle which has really thick and fishy broth, never thought that I could have a very good prawn noodle in a hotel restaurant.

Sashimi selections: Smoked Tenggiri or Smoked Salmon

If you are into salad, there is a salad bar available available, or you can also for local's favourite making your own Pasembur. A few types of starters are also available on the spread.

Presented to you are wide selections of mouthwatering desserts including tarts, cakes, pudding, chocolates and many more.

 

Marshmallow with PINK Chocolate Fondue specially prepared by the restaurant to match the theme colour of Jazz Hotel Penang.

Craving for ice kacang? 

Come and customise your own ice kacang in the dessert section and choose whichever ingredients you want to fill up your bowl and select Sarsi syrup, rose syrup and evaporated milk to go with your ice kacang. 

If you are in for some drinking, you just gotta add on RM60nett to enjoy unlimited servings of wine and beer. This definitely save you a lot from drinking at a bar or pub. So why not invite your family and friends for dining and drinking here?

It was Father's Day eve when we dined at the restaurant and the chef team specially prepared a cake and dessert table for all the lovely families who celebrated there. They also invited all the guests to join them for singing and cutting cake together.

"Under The Sea" Seafood Buffet at Feast At Jazz is definitely worthy of your money spend and it only happens once a week which is on Saturday hence advanced booking is highly recommended since they have limited seats available. Reservation hotline is (6010) 373 1551

Forest Canteen 森林食堂 @ Lebuh Farquhar, Penang

Humbly located in a small space in the heart of George Town, Forest Canteen 森林食堂 is a cozy place to have a cup of coffee, a good meal and also a place for us to chill. 

Forest Canteen 森林食堂 is located on the ground floor of Penang Bowl, next to the famous Eastern & Oriental Hotel Penang. The place itself offers quite some car park spaces and you can park in there directly. 

It is a shared space with Moonshop Gallery | 森美林学, where you can learn how to create your own terrarium and also purchase some nice plants from them.

The exterior of the place is quite comfy as you can see they blend nature into the space that makes it pretty cozy and welcoming. Feels like Zakka shop in Japan though. 

This eatery is not very big and they can only host a limited number of persons in the cafe. Reservation is highly recommended to avoid any disappointment or long wait.

The time I went was on Friday and they have 4 choices available which are Dang Gui Braised Chicken, Pan Fried Stingray with spicy sauce, Salted Fish Chicken Patty or Signature Omelette Rice. They have different menu on rotation basis and you can have different food on different days so you won't get bored of the same old food. 

香煎咸鱼肉饼套餐 Salted Fish Chicken Patty Set

Every set meal comes with a bowl of rice, sunny-side up, side dish and soup apart from the main dish. 
The patty was really crispy and juicy. You can taste the succulent patty with slight saltiness flavours came from the salted fish. The side dish given on that day was Okra topped with their homemade sauce which was really appetising and delicious. The radish soup was very flavourful and you can tell they have boiled it for hours. Not forget to mention the perfectly done sunny-side up too, simply a pleasure to the eyes. 

当归鸡套餐 Dang Gui Braised Chicken

Another delicious dish we tried was the Dang Gui Braised Chicken which were very well cooked and the chicken was tender and flavourful, probably braised under slow fire or a few hours. They also added some enoki and that added some crunchiness to the dish.

Forest Canteen 森林食堂 serves hearty meals at reasonable price. The only downside of this cafe is that it has limited space and tables hence you may expect long wait during lunch time. Nevertheless it won't stop me from going back to try out other dishes in the cafe. Can't wait to be back!
