Many have probably heard about G Hotel wallet friendly 4 course set lunch or their daily buffet dinner that features fresh seafood and meat with dessert-centric counter.
Spoon serves great food here in a cozy environment which is styled resembling a French Bistro. Other than the food quality, the pricing and the unbeatable customer service that every guest expect of this five star hotel restaurant, the culinary team's expertise also plays an important role to meet the demand of connoisseurs.
Spoon at G Hotel Kelawai is excited to bring Chef Jack Yap Soon Cheong aboard to showcase the best of gastronomy for a fulfilling meal. Started as a chef at the age of 16, Chef Jack worked his way up to become the Executive Sous Chef today in G Hotel Kelawai. Backed with more than 10 years of cooking experience and spearheading the culinary team, he has worked in numerous well known restaurants in Singapore and even opened his very own eatery in Penang before deciding to sell it off and dive back into the culinary career.
Chef Jack is also an expert in reinventing the classic dishes by adding a modern twist to give it a brand new look with a taste like never before. With his new role in G Hotel, Penang he will bring in new menu to G Hotel daily buffet breakfast and dinner as well as the menus in the Executive Lounge with a breath of fresh air crafted to his unique style and at the same time to ensure that there are variety selections of different food from the menu to surprise everyone's appetite.
Once join in G Hotel, Chef Jack did not wait long and has started to work on his magic in the kitchen cooking his signature dish and revamping the existing food here in G Hotel with a little twist and surprises. Chef Jack's cooking and his specialties are now available at Spoon G Hotel Kelawai buffet dinner.
One of Chef Jack's signature dish is the Roasted Duck with Orange Sauce and Rocket Salad which is a new dish that has been added to the menu in Spoon. Be sure to dig into this French style roasted duck confit which is slow cooked to perfection for 3 hours before serving. The homemade orange sauce and rocket salad is the perfect complement to the duck.
Other than that, there is also his special Baked Fish Fillet with Coconut Lemon Turmeric sauce. This dish is also a star from G Hotel Kelawai, Spoon Cafe menu which is newly introduced to the buffet. The fish fillet is marinated with his secret recipe and then cooked in the oven. The unique sauce combo made of coconut milk, lemon juice and turmeric cream sauce gives a very rich flavour and goes very well with the fish. It is then topped with broccoli and crispy ginger floss to enhance the aroma of the fish.
Expect some novelty main dishes that you may find at the buffet including the homemade Beef Meatball with Potato Mousseline, Sambal Black Mussels, Chicken Casserole with creamy thyme and mushroom and Mutton Redang. The Potato Mousseline is my personal favorite, the texture of the Potato Mousseline is so smooth and the potato flavor is bold, you can actually tell that they use good and fresh potato to make this.
While for the Chicken Casserole, it is first sautéed in a pan to give it a nice colour before adding it to the stew. The casserole is cooked in a cream based sauce which makes it unique from the ordinary Chicken Casserole. Potato, carrot, fresh vegetables, thyme and shimeiji mushrooms are added into the casserole to cook with the chicken for a flavourful dish.
Buffet Dinner at Spoon G Hotel Kelawai is available nightly with two different themes to choose from, one being the International theme buffet dinner which will be served from Sunday to Thursday at RM 75.00 per person while Hot Wok and Grill is available exclusively on Fridays and Saturdays at RM 105.00 per person.

Another noteworthy section from the Buffet Dinner at Spoon G Hotel Kelawai is the Carving Station, which features Roasted Cumin Lamb Shoulder with Mint Yoghurt. The marination of the imported lamb is house made with spices such as cumin, paprika and chef's special spices.
The lamb is marinated in the spices for 2 days to ensure that the lamb is well seasoned and flavoured by the marination. The lamb shoulder is then roasted in the oven for 2 hours before it is ready to be served. The mint yoghurt is also house-made as a refreshing condiment for the lamb. The sauce is prepared by adding mint sauce to the yoghurt, making the lamb shoulder an appetising mouth drooling dish.

G Hotel culinary team put together 10 types of desserts based on the ingredients that arrive fresh on the day so that you will get different types of desserts daily served fresh at their Buffet Dinner. Some sweet teasers that you may find are the fancy six layered Mango Opera, Pandan Kaya Cake, Red Velvet, Forbidden Cheesecake and Hazelnut Chocolate Cake. While for locally inspired taste there is the recommend Pandan Kaya Cake, which is a feather light vanilla sponge cake layered with a Pandan kaya custard on top.
I was surprise when i saw The Forbidden Cheesecake being served during the Buffet Dinner at Spoon, G Hotel because I am a big fan of Black Glutinous Rice and this is the first time I actually see it being made into Cheese Cake. The Forbidden Cheesecake is a signature cheesecake in Spoon, which needs special care in boiling the black glutinous rice with sugar to perfection and cooled down before being mixed with other ingredients like the cream cheese. Especially the Black Glutinous Rice, it is perfectly done, not too soft and not too hard, it taste good !
Other than the International Theme Buffet Dinner in G Hotel, there is also the Hot Wok and Grill themed buffet dinner where their chefs will be firing up the wok and hot barbeque grill, using the best of land and sea based on customer preferences. The Hot Wok and Grill Live Station is an outdoor counter, where the customer can select a bowl of fresh ingredients and watch it stir-fried in a piping hot wok or grilled to perfection over charcoal or both. There are 11 types of meat items such as lamb chop, beef, chicken, finger clam, prawn and pari fish, 8 types of vegetables including green pepper, white cabbage, mushroom and leek, as well as 6 different homemade sauces. The secret to a great hot wok and grill lies in the freshly made sauces that enhances the flavours of the raw ingredients where you can find in G Hotel, Penang.
