Theme Parties
Malaysian Fishing Village
A night of festivities and entertainment is in store for all as this colorful ceremony, full of tradition and history, unveils slowly as the evening goes by. Serving staff, dressed in colorful Malay costumes, complement the sarongs and straws hats worn by the "invited guests". Clayware post and banana leaves are standard items and eating with fingers replace knives and forks. To add the finishing touches, sampans, bamboo fencing, livestock and a typical Malay kampong hut will recreate a scene to be long remembered. An evening of festivities in true Malay tradition! 

Hawker's Bazaar Night
The scene is set for night, very similar to the typical bazaar in Penang. Hawkers would perform the art of making delicious savouries, such as noodles, rice, a wide variety of seafood and "roti-canai" amidst smoking woks and a cacophony of pots and pans. Brightly lit karosene lamps line the area and set the mood for a hearty evening. 

Pirate Rendezvous
An eventful day spent roaming the seas for rich findings end back at the hideout to share the plunder. Heaving chests laden with loots, gold ornaments and sparkling jewels, the pirates sing with joy in celebration of their sudden wealth. The triumphant captain sends his men out to hunt for food and a roaring bonfire is lit up in the center of the nest for the merry-making and well deserved feast. 

Jungle Night
The scene is set for a wild night, much the same as entering the jungle. Fresh and pre-cooked food will be on display at the buffet line to tempt your palate. Sounds of birds singing, crickets creeking, snakes hissing, and wild boar snoozing are all part of the set-up for this wild and adventurous rendezvous. 

Penang Chinatown
Visions of busy merchants, street vendors and hawkers dish out mouth-watering delights. Georgetown, the perfect site for a stroll back into history with its charming and culture-rich activities.
