Rockin' Christmas and New Year's Eve Feast at Hard Rock Hotel Penang.


As I write this blog entry, Christmas is just a month and a half away from now. I certainly am beginning to get into the merry mood now. I just can't wait for Christmas to come. Well though we are still weeks away, it is never too early to plan a Christmas and New Year's celebration with friends and family. It's that time for year again where everybody meets up in such joyful cheers. 

Hard Rock Hotel Penang is here to introduce the delightful cuisines that awaits you for this coming festive celebration.  




Alright, I'm pretty sure you will be curious to know what is in the buffet spread for this year's celebration. 



Shown above is Sous Chef, Mohd Faizal bin Aris

Are you all set to start drooling? Haha.. Below are the delicious spread which you can indulge away during Christmas Eve.

Prawns & Peach Shooters

Nice big succulent prawns that came with a nice sweet tangy salsa.



Petit Seared Rare Beef with Edamame & Thai Coconut Dresing

A nice petite bite size appetizer which was served with the dressing which was creamy smooth with a tinge of sweetness. Cover the beef with the sauce and you have something so pleasurable to the palate. 



Creamy Butternut Pumpkin Soup with Shredded Cheese

A nice heartwarming creamy soup and with the addition of shredded cheese into it, it does give the soup an enhanced unique taste and a soft cheesy bite.


Roasted Turkey with Giblet Gravy & Cranberry Sauce , Glazed Nuts, Sage Bread Stuffing, Sweet Potato and Seasonal Vegetables

Somehow no dining is complete without Turkey. Hard Rock's Roasted Turkey looks so welcoming upon looking at it. It's like love at first sight more like sudden I'm so hungry at first sight haha.. It's so hard to resist such tempation. The turkey was tender and nothing beats having it with the Giblet Gravy and Cranberry Sauce...Can I have more of it please :)




Seafood Nori Roulade with Cauliflower Puree & Red Capsicum Salsa

The seafood nori roulade was something interesting. A rich creamy taste of the cauliflower puree together with tangy sourness of the salsa, does give the roulade an interesting mixture of flavours.


Blackened Red Snapper with Squid Ink Noodle & Cherry Tomato Stew


Chocolate & Cherry Yule Logs

The usual items found during Christmas is Turkey and the 2nd common item is the Yule Log cake. It is always beautiful to see it , before people start 'chopping' the log down haha... 



Strawberry Fruit Meringue

Aren't these the cutest dessert you have ever seen. This is certainly something that will attract the attention.



So we have seen part of the delicious spread which will be available on the buffet line during Christmas Eve and now let's have a peek at the menu for the coming New Year's Eve.


Asian Charred Baby Octopus



Gateau of Avocado, Tomato & Crab meat Salad

First glance and I thought it was some miniature nasi lemak but it was actually a 3 layered item which consisted of chunks of avocado at the bottom, and tomato and crab meat salad on top of it..


Salmon Gravlax & Red Snapper Hinava




Crabmeat Otak-otak with Chili Marmalade

Fish is usually the main ingredient used for otak-otak in general but this time around, the chefs has made a twist to it and used creab meat. Wow! Something exciting. The sweetness of the crab meat did surely give the otak-otak a nice tinge of sweetness and not forgetting the fragrant aroma and nice spice flavours it had.


Wok Fried Slipper Lobsters with Dried Chili Flakes, Curry Leaf & Garlic

The usage of the dried chili flakes and especially the curry leaves does certainly gives the dish a nice fragrant aroma.


Grilled Beef Steaks with Sundried Tomato Hollandaise

Tendy juicy beef steaks tasted so good with the Hollandaise sauce. The nice creamy buttery sauce surely complimented the steak well.


Braised Duck Nyonya Style with Herbs

Instead of the usual roasted duck, the ducks is braised with herbs giving it a nice oriental flavour to it. 

Miniature Passion Fruit Cheese Cake


Green Tea Panna Cotta


Semi Freddo with Berries

This was the bomb. It kept me coming back for more. It was a mousse dessert with chocolate bits in it. It was so GOOD that I just couldn't no resist having more of it. Now as I type, makes me craving for it ..Noooooooo.. :(


Everything looked so good doesn't it. Well start counting the days to Christmas and New Year's Eve now haha :)
