Special thanks to Lexis Suites Penang for extending this food review invitation.
Lexis Suites Penang is rolling out the Durian Fiesta promotion during this durian season. The all-you-can-eat durian buffet is served at Bayu Lexis, which is the beachfront lawn behind the hotel. Besides having a scenic view, the venue also takes advantage of the cooling breeze from the sea.
Lexis Suites is collaborating with a durian orchard in Balik Pulau to bring the freshest durians this season. During the 2-hour experience, customers are taken on a gastronomic journey as they savour multiple durian cultivars.
There are approximately 10 durian cultivars that Balik Pulau has to offer. Popular ones are Ang Hae (红虾), Cheh Phoay (青皮), Hor Lor (葫芦), Musang King (猫山王) and Kapli (甲必利). Each cultivar has a unique profile in terms of sweetness, bitterness, aroma and texture.
Some people enjoy durians with glutinous rice, which comes with coconut milk and gula melaka (palm sugar). As durians are considered “heaty”, diners are advised to drink plenty of water afterwards. In fact, the hotel provides complimentary bottled water too.
Lexis Suites’ Durian Fiesta is open to the public and is only available while durians are in season. The price is RM118.00 net per person. The hotel requires a minimum of 10 persons per session. But if your party is in short of 10 persons, just give Lexis Suites a call anyway so that the hotel can try to accommodate.
To ensure that customers get the best durian experience. 1-day advance reservation is required. Walk-ins are strictly not allowed. To sign up for Lexis Suites’ Durian Fiesta, simply fill up this
