I, for one, love a good buffet. I mean, why settle on one particular type of food or cuisine when you can sample everything in one go? In fact, a good buffet is one of the things I look forward to the most when I stay at a hotel. Why else would I wake up before 10 a.m. while on holiday?

Copthorne King Hotel (Princess Terrace Café)
Image Credit: Copthorne King HotelI have to be honest: as much as I love buffets, the repetitive 'flavours-of-the-world' concept can get really old really fast. Which is why I'm grateful for niche buffet spread concepts like the one in Copthorne King Hotel's Princess Terrace Café which features mainly authentic Penang cuisine! And this is not just because I'm a Penang boy at heart, okay?
Utilising traditional cooking methods at their live stations, the buffet at Princess Terrace Café perfectly recreates the timeless tastes and aromas of traditional Penang favourites such as char kway teow, Penang laksa, prawn noodles, popiah and the well-loved traditional kuehs.
