Theme Buffet Dinner @ Wembley Cafe, The Wembley, Penang

The Wembley, A St Giles Hotel is known for offering value for money buffets at affordable prices. Recently, we checked out one of their theme buffet dinners – Japanese & Western Buffet (available every Thursday) which is undoubtedly one of their more popular themes among diners.

It’s not hard to see why when the buffet line up includes this…

An array of fresh Seafood on Ice
