Christmas and New Year Feasts at G Hotel Gurney and G Hotel Kelawai, Penang


It felt like it was just yesterday when I was at G Hotel last year doing Christmas review. A year forward and here I am, at the brand new Taste Cafe. The previous G Cafe underwent a major renovation and Taste Cafe is born. One of the attraction feature is the BBQ grill using Lava Stone which is imported all the way from Indonesia. Which is first of its kind here in Penang.





First glance into the cafe and the cozy ambiance welcomes you to a dining pleasure. Christmas is just a week away and the chefs at Taste Cafe has whip up a lavish spread of buffet for you to celebrate during this festive season.

Ho! Ho! Ho! let's have a look at what awaits us :)

Starting off with the wide range of appetizers such as Cheese Platter with Nuts, Dried Fruits and Pickled Fruits. I must say not many places offers such cheese platter and it's good to know that Taste Cafe offers quite a range of cheese for you to start with. That sums up to 4 kinds of cheese, 6 types of dried fruits, 6 types of nute and 2 crackers.





Make your own salad with the wide choices of fresh vegetables at the salad bar. Mix and top it up with the different dressings and condiments made available. 


Apart from that, you will also find salads such as Turkey Salad, Prawn Salad, Apple Salad and Mushroom Salad.






By the side, lays an attractive layout of assorted cold cuts and get some taste of Japan with sushi.




Seafood lovers you are in for a treat as the Seafood on Ice section offers Chilled Tiger Prawns, Mussels and Scallops.


How about some warm soup such as Creamy Carrot Soup and Braised Dried Scallop and Crab Meat Soup together with freshly prepared buns and loaves. 







Over to the Kitchen Live Cooking section, you will find delicious Chicken Quesadilla and cheezy-licious assorted pizzas.


Big fan of pasta? You are so going to love this as the pasta station offers pasta cooked upon order. Choose from penne, spaghetti or linguine cooked with either napolitana, bolognaise or my all-time fav sauce, Carbonara.






Christmas feast wouldn't be complete with this next items. Some carvery items that would just spice up the feast such as Roasted Prime Beef and most importantly the Roasted Turkey. The tender juicy turkey with apple cranberry sauce just makes the whole Christmas meal complete.  




Onto the outside area of the cafe, that is where the meat and seafood meet-up on the BBQ grilling using the Lava Stone all the way from Indonesia. You may wonder why lava stone? Lava stone absorbs, hold and reflect heat, which mean it does a much better job in grilling. Using Lava Stone somehow does grill even more yummier food. 


There is so many for you to choose from. There's salmon, cat fish, squids, king prawn, minute steak, slipper lobster, lamb chop, chorizo and bratwurst sausage awaits you. Just tell the chef what you would like to have and you are on you way to an awesome lava stone BBQ grilled food. 


I hope there still much space in your tummy for even more glorious food to come. Hot from the chafing dish another load of delicious cuisine awaits.

Almond Butter Rice


Fried Udon Noodle with Seafood


Buttered Herb New Potatoes


Turkey Schnitzel
I think I had like 4 pieces of the turkey schnitzel. It was really good. Tender turkey meat, deep fried til crispy and has a white sauce that really just went well with it.


Pan Seared Duck with Fruity Sauce


Chicken and Mushroom Pie

I'm a big fan of flaky puff pastry pies. Having seeing this on the buffet spread was awesome. Not only did it looked really tempting, but it tasted good too. Packed with ingredients makes each bite craving for more.


Beef Osso Buco


Grilled Fish Fillet with Citrus Salsa


Oyster au Gratin


Crispy Mango with Mango Sauce
As simple  as it looks yet the crispiness of the chicken and the sauce. Oh nothing beats that.


Alright now it's the time where these items not only appeals the eyes, and your camera/phone but also satisfies your palates and tummy haha. Dessert time! 

One of the thing that always impress me is the amount of desserts as well as the art/decoration of the desserts that G Hotel does. Never fail to impress me on every visit.

There is so much that you will just want to try every single dessert that is offered. Cakes, puddings, mousse, jelly, macaroons, chocolate fountain and so many more. It's almost like you name it they have it haha.





The Christmas goodies sure looks cute with the Christmas decorations. 

Chirstollen


Assorted Christmas Cookies











This Warm Christmas Pudding with Vanilla Sauce not only really moist but rich as well. 








Wait there's more? Oh yes they have. Dip your favorite fruits and coat them in the chocolate fountain. 


Want something icy cool? Fret not cos there is also a selection of ice cream and sherbets as well as ais kacang. Why not both? haha



Fresh tropical fruits and local fav rojak is also available.



I'm sure that after reading and looking at the photos, you can't wait to indulge everything. :)
