Went to the newly opened Hard Rock Hotel Penang for family dinner last weekend. We had decided to try out the Seafood Buffet at the Starz Diner. For sure ya’ll know that this is not any of the foodblog out there that writes very detail comments about the food there, but I got a very simple comment based on my experience:
“The buffet sucks and not worth the $.”
The buffet cost about RM108++ for Saturday Seafood Buffet. I would consider myself not very picky on food, but still I am very disappointing with the food there with this kinda price. Don’t quite like ambient of the restaurant, it’s like some company’s cafeteria. I have tried out the Hard Rock Hotel in Bali, the food and restaurant environment was excellent but this one in Penang is nowhere close to it. Off course, if you are comparing to other Hotel’s buffet in Penang, I have no complaints with my experience at Parkroyal or Rasa Sayang.
If you plan to visit the hotel for dinner, I would recommend you to avoid the buffet but rather give it a try at the Hard Rock Cafe. I think the food served at Hard Rock Cafe will be pretty standard and should be less (or no) surprise.
