Last June we were invited by Shangri-La Hotels in Penang to experience the hype and festivities that comes with their regular beach parties held in their Golden Sands Resort situated on the Batu Ferringghi tourist belt. This time round the theme of the party was Arabian Nights, and which coincidently coincides with the beginning of the influx of Middle Eastern tourists honeymooning or holidaying in Penang. Timing couldnt be right!Colourfully set tables on Sigis beach front with the setting sun and crashing waves on the background, one would wonder what if I could enjoy a quality dinner with someone that I care and love or company of great friends with such atmosphere and decor for what price. To me would be priceless, but the Arabian themed party tickets were sold for only RM158++ per person. Is it expensive or is it cheap, that depend on the experience that you are looking for.
When being invited to parties like this, it is always hard to judge orcriticize the dishes that were carefullychoreographed to compliment the theme of the night. It is the atmosphere that always distracts our senses especially when there are great company amongst. The dishes designed for the night by Chef John Brock did its part to transfer the taste of Middle East cooking to Batu Ferringghi, at least for the night.Out of the extensive items dished out to wow the guests, these are some of the delicacies that have made a mark in my senses:
Apart from the promise of a great feast, the guests were also entertained by belly dancers, fire jugglers, snake charmers, a live band playing tunes that jived the moment and some fun and games.
