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.
