I was really thrilled when I got then chance to review Vistana Hotel Penang for the very first time. I have heard so much about the Ramadhan buffet which they had last year. One thing for certain which was, they had a lot of items on their buffet line. So this year upon arriving to the airport from Malacca, I went over with much excitement to see what awaits.
For this Ramadhan, Vistana Hotel presents a delicious spread of authentic traditional Malay spread for the breaking of the
daily fast, or ‘buka puasa’ with their special Tok Wan 101 Recipes which taps into the taste memories of authentic Malay dishes inspired by Tok Wans everywhere.

The Ramadhan-inspired buffet will be held in the
