Buro 24/7 – Whether you choose to venture outside for a treat or stay home, we’ve got seven awesome things you can be doing this weekend.
Enjoy a ‘Year of the Ox Afternoon Tea’ at EQ. Bottega Lounge at EQ has reopened with a Chinese New Year-themed afternoon tea set, featuring three tiers of both savoury and sweet delights. Some of these mouthwatering treats include Smoked Duck Breast Mantou, Papaya Salad with Prawns Pai Tee, Salted Egg Puffs and Lychee Cheesecake.
Malaysian Foodie – In celebration of Chinese New Year, EQ is presenting their Gifts of Prosperity, a selection of from delectable yee sang, the signature fortune pen cai, decadent dining sets, à la carte items, luxurious hampers and customisable gifts. Perfect for heartfelt reunions, gift giving occasions and personal indulgence, the culinary delights are available for takeaway and delivery until 26 February 2021.
Anticipating reunion dinners, EQ created their first ever pen cai as a way to have each individual family member’s favourite foods served together at once with mouth-watering homemade sauces. “An authentic pen cai should be able to elevate the flavours of the simple ingredients,” tells Chef Tan. “It should also be layered properly with drier ingredients on the top and other ingredients that are better at absorbing flavours at the bottom.” The signature fortune pen cai priced at RM888 is prepared with luxurious ingredients such as 10-head abalone, free range chicken, fish maw, roasted duck, dried oysters, fresh prawns and grouper fillet with complimentary supreme dried scallop XO sauce that is made in-house.
The Malaysian Reserve – The Chinese New Year celebrations at EQ Hotel (EQ) this year will present Gifts of Prosperity, a selection of palatable Yee Sang, the signature fortune pen cai, decadent dining sets, à la carte items, luxurious hampers and customisable gifts until Feb 26.
EQ said the takeaways are perfect for heartfelt reunions, gift-giving occasions while the culinary delights are sure to tempt people’s tastebuds.
Malaysian Flavours – In celebration of Chinese New Year, EQ is presenting their Gifts of Prosperity, a selection of from delectable yee sang, the signature fortune pen cai, decadent dining sets, à la carte items, luxurious hampers and customizable gifts. Perfect for heartfelt reunions, gift giving occasions and personal indulgence, the culinary delights are available for takeaway and delivery until 26 February 2021.
New Straits Times – I’m sure I’m not the only one who’s beset with this “First World problem” of what to eat every day, especially since we’ve been pretty much ensconced within the four walls of our home ever since Covid-19 began its rampage around the world.
But a ping on the phone, indicating an incoming message, stops me from checking in with Mr Google. “Hi Intan, any chance you might want to try some of the popular dishes from three of our restaurants in the comfort of your home?”
Salvation! A flurry of exchanges ensue and before I know it, I’ve managed to secure a Wednesday lunch spread from EQ Hotel Kuala Lumpur, which is currently offering a takeaway and delivery service for those wishing to enjoy the regular dine-in orders from their restaurants — Nipah, Etoile Bistro and Kampachi — albeit at home.
The Star – A reader shares fond memories of his uncle’s hotel in Penang, which is forced to close down:
I was sad to read the recent news of the closure of Hotel Equatorial Penang. A friend had forwarded me a message containing a letter sent to the hotel staff. It mentioned: “… the adverse business conditions caused by Covid-19” as the reason for the closure.
The hotel is one of the iconic landmarks in Penang, built in the late 1980s on a hillock in Bukit Jambul, Bayan Lepas. I always stayed at the hotel during my working days as I liked its immense swimming pool and the surrounding lush landscape.
The City List – If you are looking to put some festive cheer into your Chinese New Year (or just life in general), try delivery and takeaway from EQ’s famous restaurants – Kampachi, Etoile Bistro and Nipah. These restaurants offer a wide variety of delicious, high quality delights that can satisfy the distinct tastes of each family member.
Ordering lunch or dinner from EQ’s restaurants – Kampachi, Etoile Bistro and Nipah – and having it delivered right to your doorstep, brings a taste of quality into your home and offers something for everyone in your house.
The Star – Former world champion squash player Datuk Nicol David has been anointed as the World Games Greatest Athlete of All Time.
The 37-year-old Penangite claimed the honour after obtaining the most number of votes in the final round of 10 athletes after the world-wide poll closed at 9pm Malaysian time.
Nicol, the only Asian athlete shortlisted for the award, picked up a massive 318,945 votes.
Unreserved – EQ Kuala Lumpur’s most popular dishes are now available for delivery.
We might not be able to head out to our favourite dining rooms due to the ongoing MCO, but we can certainly make our at-home-dining experience a five-star affair. EQ Kuala Lumpur is currently offering their best dishes via takeaway and delivery from the hotel’s dining establishments – Nipah, Étoile Bistro and Kampachi. Make it like ordering room service, but without the stuffiness of a hotel room.
To our dear friends and patrons,
The Management wishes to confirm the closure of Hotel Equatorial Penang.
The Hotel will remain open to the general public until 10 February 2021, subject to prevailing government-mandated MCO conditions. It has been a pleasure serving our guests and patrons from across the world since 1989. To the people of Penang, it has been especially heart-warming to have been a part of your lives for the past three decades – thank you for the privilege and honour of being of service to you.
Circumstances have made the decision to close our Hotel a very painful one. We are particularly appreciative of all our employees past and present, who have helped create this hotel into a cornerstone of Penang Island hospitality. Together with our associates, we thank you for your terrific support.
We extend our best wishes to all. Stay well and healthy.
Sincerely,
Alan H.C. Ong
General Manager
Hotel Equatorial Penang
