Princess Terrace
Buffets usually emphasise quantity over quality, but that isn’t the case with Princess Terrace. The restaurant, which is practically an institution, has a community of loyal followers who swear by its reputation as one of the best buffet restaurants in town. The brightly lit, family-friendly joint serves a mouthwatering spread of traditional Penang delicacies, and hawker classics with a touch of nostalgia. The Penang Hokkien mee—a combination of egg and vermicelli noodles in a rich pork-bone and prawn-based broth—remains one of the enduring favourites. It’s the same with the rojak, a salad-like dish of crunchy, tart and sweet fruits and vegetables topped with a thick prawn-paste dressing that wonderfully blends the sweet, the savoury and the spicy. The place also offers guests a wonderful respite from the hustle and bustle of the city, where one can enjoy intimate conversations with loved ones.
