The Eastern and Oriental Hotel, Penang's Raffles. In fact, it was founded by the same family, the Sarkies in 1885. The hotel has been refurbished and moved up market, although it was pretty far up the market to begin with. At $3,000 plus for the E&O suite it is a little beyond our budget!!!
Lovely location just to the east of the fort.
OK, we did do lunch. At 38 rm plus plus, as they say here, (about 10 Pounds Stirling) it was a snip!!
The lunch consisted of a choice of 4 set main course, with starter and desert buffet. Very, very, very good food. Gek restricted her self to two rounds of starters, a bowl of soup, a fish main course and two visits to the desert table. I thought she did rather well under the circumstances!!
