59Sixty Komtar, Georgetown – Fantastic Christmas Buffet – Steven Goh's Penang Food and Penang Lifestyle

If you are looking for a place which will make you feel like you are on top of the world to usher Christmas, look no further than 59Sixty at our very own Komtar in Penang. I have previously blogged about 59Sixty Buffet Dinner back in September 2015. This year, we are delighted to know that they have attractive packages for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day Dinner as well as Christmas Day Brunch.

The Christmas Eve Menu 2015 – RM238 nett per pax. The buffet spread at 59Sixty is by far the most extensive hotel buffet that I have ever seen. For this Christmas season, they have added some delightful of Christmas elements to its menu.

As you can see from the list of food above, the menu is very vast and unique. We can see that the chef from New Zealand has put a lot of effort into making dining at 59Sixty as outstanding as possible. The ambience here is excellent and also the service is extremely good. There were a few occurrences where the waiter/waitress would personally deliver our food to our table when our hands were full. The only drawback is the price is slightly on the high side. If they could offer a better discount or promotion, I’m sure this place will be crowded and packed with diners due to its food and panoramic view.

If you have missed the Christmas Eve Dinner Buffet, you may still have the chance to try out their Christmas Day Buffet Brunch – RM165 nett and Christmas Buffet Dinner – RM238 nett.
