Chinese New Year Buffet Lunch @ Symphony Café
In the past, my family used to have the problem of looking for a place to eat on Chinese New Year’s Day because most eateries were closed and the only ones opened were vegetarian restaurants. If you are like us, and will be spending your Chinese New Year holidays in Ipoh, perhaps it’s a good idea to make a reservation for buffet lunch on the first day of Chinese New Year at Symphony Café, the coffee house of Symphony Suites Hotel.
The photos I am enclosing in today’s post are just some of the delicious food that will be served on the first day of Chinese New Year (Jan 31). All in all, there will be a selection of thirty items on the lunch buffet spread, inclusive of the obligatory yee sang, served with smoked salmon.
Starters would be prawn dumpling, coleslaw, German potato, Waldorf salad and mixed lettuce with house dressings. Main courses to look out for include deep-fried squid Szechuan-style, bean curd with chicken meat and braised Chinese cabbage with black mushrooms. There’ll be action stalls as well, which will be serving, among others, mee soup with condiments, ais kacang and roasted duck rice.
Symphony Café opens for lunch from 12pm to 2.30pm. Price for this buffet lunch that is only available on the first day of Chinese New Year is RM59.90 nett per adult and RM29.90 nett per child (5 – 12 years old).
From Jan 28 to Feb 2, in conjunction with Chinese New Year, a special set lunch similar to this and buffet dinner with Chinese-style food is available also at Symphony Café. Set lunch is RM18 nett per adult and RM9.90 nett per child while buffet dinner is RM35 nett per adult and RM19.90 nett per child. Lunch time is from 12pm to 2.30pm and dinner is from 7pm to 10.30pm.
Meanwhile, the hotel’s lobby lounge, After 5, will see a 2-piece live band performing from Jan 28 to Feb 2 nightly from 9.30pm onwards.
