WOW, WHAT A NIGHT! Yes, it was Hard Rock Hotel Penang's first birthday party - difficult to believe they have been there just a year, seems like forever, they have been such a part of Penang's scene now. Anyone was anyone had been invited - there were over 650 on the guest list, including even humble food writers.
The whole beach side of their long pool had been converted into a party area, with a stage at one side to house the two bands who were performing that night: Bongga Bongga and Albert Chua, national champion of Malaysia Air Guitar Championship hosted by the hotel. After the beautiful sunset, more people arrived, the place started to live up to its name: ie ROCK!
Guests of Honour included TYT Governor of Penang and CM YAB Lim Guan Eng, who arrived a bit later in the evening, giving all the freeloaders like moi a chance to stuff their faces.
And what an array of Hard Rock goodies there were on offer, masses and masses of it, wraps, satays, foot-long Chicken Sausage including, of course, their world-famous Burger.
Chef Kenny and his team had their work cut out, but apart from the satay which unfortunately kept running out (people were grabbing many sticks at a time!), there was plenty on offer, and chocolate sauce aplenty for the marshmallows.
Highlight of the evening was French guitarist, singer songwriter Louis Bertignac, founding member of rock band Telephone.It really was a free-flow evening with Mojitos (yum ...), wines, beers and other drinks on offer, ending with dancing and fireworks at midnight. Happy Birthday Hard Rock, and here's to your second birthday!
