Call me selfish or what, I was initially a bit reluctant to share out this post. It is not due to any negative factor, instead I am afraid that after sharing this I will not be able to secure a place for myself when I go for their buffet. So far, I have not met any buffet in town that offers such a great variety of seafood and at an attractive of price of RM99 nett per adult and RM59 nett per child. For those of you who are able to get a better offer than this and with much more varieties, please do not hesitate to let me know and I will make sure to provide a full coverage of that place.
Hard Rock Seafood Buffet, the all-new seafood buffet available every Saturday starting from 2 April 2016. Concluding the every Sunday buffet at the Pizzeria, Hard Rock Hotel Penang is now offering the sumptuous seafood buffet with a twist of Japanese and Chinese fusion cuisine at the Starz Diner.
Starz Diner’s Seafood On The Rocks Buffet offer seafood ranging from variety of appetizer, sushi & sashimi, tempura, teppanyaki, Chinese carvings, dim sum and more.
For sushi lovers, the Sushi & Sashimi bar will be your favourite spot. Indulge in an array of Sushi, Maki and sashimi – Tamago, Futo Maki, California Maki, Kappa Maki, Oshinko Maki, Inari, Kanpyo, Maguro, Sake, Tako and other local fishes.
Smoked Salmon Salad with Avocado is one of the great options under the appetizers selection. Crispy texture, fresh and vibrant salad packed with wholesome ingredients. It tasted slightly sweet with a tangy touch.
Best way to enjoy the delicious taste of fresh seafood is to have it chilled. Savor the goodness of Boiled Prawn, Mussel, Bamboo Clams, Scallops and Oysters, with accompaniments of tabasco, lemon, cocktail dressing and shallot vinaigrette.
At the soup section, the Prawn & Shellfish Bisque is one should not to be missed. Served with assorted bread, this delicious soup is guaranteed to leave you craving for more.
The other highlights from this section are the Deep Fried Prawn with Nestum and Chawan Mushi Unagi.
Ying Yang Fried Rice is a popular Chinese dish. This ‘must-try’ dish is available at the main section.
What’s great about this seafood buffet is its many food stations. Besides the Dim Sum and Yong Tau Fu Noodle station, you will also find a Teppanyaki Grill station that offers a portion of Teppanyaki Seafood. The Slipper Lobster, Chicken, Prawn, Yaki Udon and Beef with Goma Sauce are not to be missed.
From the Chinese Craving station, feast on the Roasted Chicken, Lamb Char Stew, Chicken Char Siew with condiments of taste.
Satisfy the sweet craving with some freshly made Soya Bean Milk with Glutinous Ball & Gingko Nut, Green Tea Cheesecake, Assorted French Pastries and Red Bean Jelly.
The spirit of Hard Rock Team. They really rock the seafood buffet in Penang. Special thanks Patrick Soon of Moon Spell Studio for the lovely photos.
Overall, this is currently the most affordable and the widest variety of Seafood buffet that I know of in Penang. The taste of the food is good and the range of the food is extensive. Please do not tell my mother that I ate too much at this buffet.
